This came in from the Twitter when we sent out a request for bout ideas:

“Don’t something with the new foo fighters”

Done. There is no denying at this point (and if you do deny it then you are wrong) that Dave Grohl has had a larger impact on music than Kurt Coban. That’s not taking away anything from the impact Kurt had… it’s just stating a truth. Dave Grohl – through writing, performing, producing, guesting, and inspiring – has played a bigger role in what music sounds like today then he is given credit for. The dude is responsible, in some way, for 50% of the music that hits the interwebs these days. Well, rock music at least. The Arkansas child prostit… um, I mean, teen idol factory is responsible for most of the other 50%. Just check out the dude’s discography.

So here’s to Dave Grohl. We have a new Foo Fighters verses a guest spot he did for Queens of the Stone Age. Remember that? Yeah… he was all over that album that blew up a couple years ago. See… the dude is everywhere.

So go, watch and vote.

"So wait... did he kill her or not?" - These guys

Today I am excited. I mean REALLY excited. It’s the trade deadline in the NHL and that’s cool and exciting but that’s not why I am really excited. I am really excited because today there are a whole bunch of albums being streamed and a couple of them are albums I am REALLY looking forward to!

So let’s get at it.

The new album by (one of my all time favorites) Noah and the Whale is streaming over at NME.

NME is also streaming Queens of the Stone Age remasted debut here.

NPR is streaming a couple albums including:
The Mountain Goats
Wye Oak
Kurt Vile
Alexi Murdoch

The new Beady Eye (one of the dudes from Oasis) album is streaming here.

Spinner.com is streaming new albums from:
Adele
Ron Sexsmith
Middle Brother
DeVotchKa … and more

And MySpace is streaming a bunch of suck and viruses… so don’t go there. Let it die in piece.

Earlier this month Queens of the Stone Age released a deluxe version of their album Rated R that included a whole bunch of new songs. So… if that interests you then you get to buy an album that you probably already own (if you didn’t own it then you probably don’t want to buy it now), again, for an inflated price just to listen to six new songs? Six new songs that weren’t good enough to be on the album in the first place? Right.

Fortunately for us that kinda like Queens of the Stone Age but not enough to ever actually buy anything they’ve released, Spin magazine has one of those new songs for the entire world (yes, the entire world – even China!) to listen to if they so desired.

Click here to listen to the previously unreleased song “Ode to Clarissa.”
