The Big Groovy




It's a long weekend!! Hope it's filled with Sunshine, good drink and fantastic tunes! Here's 7 of our finest picks to get you started! Mr. T...you're up!


 Mr. T

U2 - "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"



G-Man

Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp - "A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr"

Here's a bit of a switcheroo....ol' G-Man picking a new track! Jeff Beck is musical royalty being one of the creative forces behind The Yardbirds, which also fetured Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Johnny Depp, has been in the news quite a bit lately it seems, but not for his musical talent. Still can't decide if this song is brilliant or something else...



Doug

Robbie Doherty - "Pour The Milk"



Dano

Steph Cameron - "Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady"


Jonny HP

Slipknot - "Eyeless"


Mike D

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Black Summer"


J.B.

Bouncing Souls - "True Believers"

Invincible Summer

 



Mr. T

Jennifer Warnes - "Somebody Somewhere"


G-Man

Against Me! - "Tonight We're Gonna Give It 35%"

As pure an honest as Against Me!'s songs normally are, this one is about as bareboned honest it gets. A b-side to one of their earliest singles, the turmoil singer/songwriter Laura Jane Grace dealt with most of her life is bubbling under the surface of this one. Completely stunned me the first time I heard it. Just an absolute banger.



Doug

Whitney Houston & Clean Bandit - "How Will I Know"


Dano

Bad Religion - "You Are (The Government)"


Bad Religion - "Do What You Want"

Short songs get a partnet



Jonny HP

Korn - "Get Up" feat Skrillex



Mike D

Black Eyed Peas - "Meet Me Halfway"



J.B.

Ayano Tsuji - "Kaze ni Naru"

Floodwaters Faithful

 



Mr. T

Southside Johnny - "Little Girl So Fine"



G-Man

Kix - "Body Talk"

Heavy Metal was my first love, and when I say metal I mean the classic stuff and thrash. Metallica, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Black Sabbath. So I always looked down my nose at Hair Metal. I still kind of do. But over time I grew fascinated by the short lived genre, which for better or worse, has an important place in Music History. I also thought that with so many bands in an over saturated movement, there must be some gems among the fluff. Enter Kix. A group from Maryland that for some reason never saw the fame of say Poison, Ratt, Quiet Riot or Def Leppard. Strange as both these songs I feel demonstrate more skill, talent and are worthy of repetition moreso than their more popular quaffed colleagues.


Kix - "Cold Blood"

Probably had something to do with their band name though. It was the 80's...there were still so many good names out there and they land on Kix. Anyway...



Doug

Andy Grammer - "Fresh Eyes"
