Now if only the rest of the world would follow this lead. An English radio station has decided to stop playing James Blunt’s songs “You’re Beautiful” and “Goodbye My Lover” because they’re sick of hearing them. Indeed. Just being within a 50 midle radius of hearing those songs is grounds for psychotic viloence by the listener. Hopefully Blunt’s career tragjectory will ape that of similar artists such as Pete Yorn, who also could bores the tears out of boredom itself and who also managed to insult everyone by reissuing his debut album multiple times.

Right.
So that’s why, only a few weeks after finding himself unemployed, David Lee Roth is suddenly ready for a Van Halen reunion.
Total coincidence.
Well, if the National Review’s recent list of Top 50 Conservative Rock Songs is to be believed. Her song, “My City Was Gone,” was selected for its conservative message regarding resistance to sudden change. Now, maybe it’s just me, but if you were to ask Chrissie about this, I’m pretty sure she’d rather snort a line up Dran-O than say that she represents conservative values in any way, shape or form.
The #1 song on the list, you ask? “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” by the Who. They conveniently overlooked the fact that Pete Townshend (who’s gay, eeek!) considers that the worst song he’s ever written. Also glaringly absent is gangsta rap, which represents conservative values better than any genre, including country. Pro-firearms? Check. Anti-gay? Check. Pro-entreprenuerial? Check. Pro-male? Checkmate.
Fans of Snow Patrol’s third album should be satisfied with their fourth, Eyes Open. Give the boys credit, they stuck to the template that made Final Straw such a success. “Hands Open” is this year’s “Chocolate,” while “Chasing Cars” seems to have the same framework as “Run.”
You can hear both songs on the band’s My Space page.
To credit where credit is due, I first read of this at Kurt’s Krap, but if you’re a fan of Def Leppard…well, first off, go pick up their new disc of covers, entitled Yeah!, because it’s awesome. When you do so, however, be very careful from where you pick it up, because there’s practically a different track listing for every store.
According to DefLeppard.com…
If you buy the CD at any Target store, you will find two extra tracks: a 2005 live version of “ACTION” and Leppard’s version of the McGuinness Flint song “WHEN I’M DEAD AND GONE.” Those who pick up the album at Best Buy will be treated to a live version of “NO MATTER WHAT” and “WINTER SONG”, originally recorded by Lindisfarne. And Wal-Mart is selling an exclusive EP with covers of these five classics: “AMERICAN GIRL” (originally recorded by Tom Petty), “SEARCH AND DESTROY” (original by Iggy & The Stooges; lead vocals by Phil), “SPACE ODDITY” (David Bowie), “DEAR FRIENDS” (original by Queen; featuring, for the first time, Sav on lead vocals), and “HEARTBEAT” (Jobriath). The Wal-Mart bonus CD also contains nearly eight minutes of interview material.
Which one does the band think you should pick up…? Why, all of them, of course! They’re even holding a contest for those who buy all three different versions. Great idea! And here’s another one: how about making the songs available for individual download rather than making the fans buy three freakin’ copies of the album?
