I collect vinyl and this is still hilarious.
The Names You Drop Are Second Hand
Say what you want about Sweet, this is a great fucking song.

For what it’s worth, all of Jim Gaffigan’s albums are on Spotify. Recently, I listened to a couple while I was working. Big mistake. This clip is from 2009’s Beyond the Pale.
I Never Get Tired Of This
Written and voiced by Adam Buxton, animation by The Brothers McLeod.
Another Song I Wish I’d Written
Killer chorus, and that bridge is fucking sublime.
This Hits The Spot
Brand new video from a bunch of dead guys! (And Marky, who is doing just fine.)
You’re watching the never-before-seen official music video for Ramones – ‘She’s The One’ from the 1978 album ‘Road To Ruin’. ‘Road To Ruin’ just turned 40, and Rhino is celebrating the milestone with a 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition.
Shit
Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick, dead at 72.
18 Years Ago…
Radiohead ditched their guitars and released Kid A. So now it’s old enough to buy cigarettes and vote. They grow up so fast…

How Bruce Thomas Came Up With That Glorious Bass Riff
As Thomas tells The Peverett Phile blargh …
The riff wasn’t totally spontaneous, it was sort of contrived [from riffs] I’d been listening to at the time. It’s kind of weird. If you listen to “The Price of Love” by the Everly Brothers, you’ll get the rhythmic pattern.
And if you listen to “You Gotta Lose” by Richard Hell & The Voidoids, you put those notes to the riff you get “Pump It Up.” It’s a hybrid riff.
Then I was left with a half a bar so I added “You Really Got Me,” which was one of the best songs ever written. So, that was it.
I love this shit. Everybody rips off somebody – some are just more creative about it than others.
