Inside

I love playing Alice In Chains on guitar. Jerry Cantrell has really simple chord progressions that it’s not hard to play many of their songs. Even a complete guitar doofus like me can play Alice In Chains. I had my iPhone on yesterday at work and this song, Right Turn, came on. It blew me away. It was like I never heard it before. Did you know that the original cut on the EP had stalwarts of the grunge era singing on it. Besides Layne Staley and Cantrell, there was Chris Cornell and the lead singer of Mudhoney, Mark Arm. Pretty cool.

Wake you up! Wake me up! Wake us up!

Coffee!

It’s not the only thing that will do…

The Blue Hearts “Owaranai Uta”

1st verse:
owaranai uta wo utao
kuso dare no sekai no tame
owaranai uta wo utao
subete no kuso tomo no tameni
owaranai uta wo utao
boku ya kimi ya karera no tame
owaranai uta wo utao
ashita ni wa waraeru you ni

tranlation:
lets sing an endless song
for all the shit in the world
lets sing an endless song
everything is for the shit and all the followers
lets sing an endless song
for me,you and them
lets sing an endless song
as if we “make fun” about tommorow “laughing”

Endless

You’ll hear it all week!

No idea who this is doing the cover, but I had to include it just for spits and jiggles. If you have more familiarity with j-rock or j-pop, let me know so I can torrent their albums…

Owaranai Uta

The ending credits to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” had this run immediately after the end of the movie, but not before the crawl.

This song rocks. You’ll hear this all week….

An Endless Song

The ending to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” Exactly like “Lost My Music” from Live Alive. Another cover of The Blue Hearts. This one is “An Endless Song,” “Owaranai Uta.”

It’ll keep going and rocking in your head all week long…

Gravity’s Pull

R.E.M.

They are so 80s. So high school. So that time of my life. It reminds me of fall going into winter and having to do winter soccer. Being punk rock. Or being an outsider. What is it that Holden Caulfield said about all the phonies at his school?
