I stopped over at Hype Machine and checked out the most popular tunes currently circulating the blog-o-sphere...and it was not time well spent.Out of the 50 'Most Popular Tracks'...I am estimating that about 30 of those are remixes. Oh, here is the link if you wanna check it out http://hypem.com/popular Am I the only one that finds these remixes dreadfully dull? Seriously, they bore me TO TEARS!An

Ok, so we got to talking about The Who over in Rob's Rock Star journal, and I went to listen to Das Who in iTunes and these are the songs I have in there, and after going through them all, I can safely say that they're my essential Who. Please feel free to add your own choices. :)Baba O'Riley - The synth and Moon's drum fills and the chord progression, especially during "Teenage Wasteland"Mary-...

I'm beginning to lose all respect for Pete Townshend who has sold his soul to multi-national big business to such anb extent that every form of ad media is now inundated with either Bab O'Riley or We Don't Get Fooled Again. This from a man who wrote Quadrophenia, a rock opera about a disaffected English teenager who takes a job as a bellhop in a Hotel, is abused by the management and goes abou...

inspired by Michael G's post below, and by my own listening to Endless Wire. When I was thirteen or so, my family had a guy named Joe stay with us, for a year, to finish his senior year of high school, since his parents had moved. My brother and I had a rather difficult relationship by then, and I really looked up to Joe. It was around 1972, and he was kind of the entrance of the "hippie genera...

...Rgslefrgsllllrasdchinfraschin...Just watched _The Kids Are Alright_ again. Hence the above noise.What a film.Before I run off and play the Baba O'Riley segment again (_SO. GOOD._) I thought I'd better jump on here and plead with all and sundry:If you've not yet seen it, *watch this film.* Even if you're not a fan of The Who, it's a fantastic piece. *DO IT.*...The power of Keith Moon compells...

It's 1971 and you're arriving home after purchasing the new album by one of your favorite bands 'The Who'. 2 years ago they released the self-labeled rock opera 'Tommy' and last year they released a live version 'Live at Leads'. These two albums are already being regarded as some of the greatest pieces of music of all time and you've been anxiously awaiting the newest studio album. As yo...

Ever do that thing of watching a program or a film & a piece of music comes on that makes you go "Shit! How did I forget that that song is amazing?" I do it.All the time. The most recent time was when I was watching the 1st season of House (damn Hugh Laurie is good in this, oh epsiode called Control for all you House fans out there) & at the end The Who's Baba O'Riley came on...forgotten song t...
