Fraternities have a way of destroying everything. Not that I have anything against the fraternal order (some of the best college parties I ever attended were frat parties), but frat boys have a way of infesting something cool (like a good song or a girl's virginity) and ultimately annihilating it. When I was in college, you couldn't go to a frat party without the DJ spinning the Beastie Boys' "Bra

Led Zeppelin is dead. Well, technically only one of them is dead. But that's not what I'm really talking about. What I'm referring to is the balls out rock and roll of yesteryear. There has not been...nor will there ever be another Led Zeppelin. And we are a weaker society because of it. At least in past years, bands tried to follow in their footsteps. Whitesnake, Def Leppard, even freaking Pea...

Soundgarden - Black Sunshine

Artist:
Okay, I'm cheating a bit with this one. There is no official album called Soundgarden's "Black Sunshine." I made it up. At one time, we were promised a Soundgarden B-Sides album that would have been the partner to their "A-Sides" greatest hits album...but 10 years have passed and that never happened. So, I have taken it upon myself to finish the job. This is an original GBU unreleased album. Basi

There are few greater tragedies to our world than losing a voice. While movie-making and story-telling changes as the generations evolve, songs remain eternal. Think of all the nursery songs that we sing our children. Most of them have been around for over a hundred years. It's amazing to think that music being made today may survive long into the next century or even the next millenium. So when w

I've been asked a few times now why I don't post all the songs that I list on the site. (http://goodbadunknown.blogspot.com/) So, I figured it's about time I address the question. On most sites, the site is dedicated to the actual songs that are being posted. Someone may get a cool B-Side or a live cover, then they post something about the band addressing the MP3. Other times, the blog is about a

You know what the difference between good and cheap wine is? Good wine gets better with age. The longer you hold onto it, the fuller the flavor. The cheap wine may be drinkable the day you bring it home from the market but usually by the weekend, it becomes as sour as a glass of lemonade. Some thinks are not meant to endure.I want to begin this article with a very embarrassing statement. I like L

Last night I saw Spiderman 3, despite the 100s and I mean 100s of flaws, I still found myself really enjoying the film. Maybe I'm just a sucker for over-produced action sequences or it's my life long love for Sam Raimi...but regardless, it was a good time at the movies.I will say, watching the film reminded me a lot of a great band's later career. As bands get older, they tend to surround themselv

The 11 Best Travis B-Sides From The Invisible Band era:
-
Artist:
In the first chunk of Travis B-Sides, Bad Feelings,"the songs were actually stronger than their album counterparts. It showed the band was progressing, their music writing capabilities were evolving. On The Woman Who, they left it all on the floor. Since most of the strong tracks found themselves on the parent album, there was very little leftover for those $10 CD singles. The B-Sides were only

Continuing on with yesterday's post...The Man Who was Travis' breakout album in the states. They had a huge radio hit with "Why Does it Always Rain on Me?" And one of their B-Sides in particular, the cover of Britney Spears' "Baby, One More Time," found a common spot on the radio as well. This may be Travis' only era where their album tracks out number the B-sides...14 to 12.Here are The 11 Best T

Artist:
No one considers the art of the B-Side a bigger asset than the band Travis. Here's a band that not only turns out some of the most collectable B-sides in the music industry (they cover everyone from The Band to Queen to Britney Spears) they are probably one of the few bands who has released more B-Sides than A-sides. Before the release of their recent album "The Boy With No Name" they had put o...
