Lagwagon - May 16

Song of the Day, Part Deux

Since people are flogging us with taunts for not playing this today, we’re doing something we’ve never done: TWO songs of the day. (Song of the days?) Anyway, here it is, the date appropriate “May 16” by Lagwagon.

Hey since we’re talking about feelings, why isn’t Lagwagon on the Riot Fest lineup this year? We wouldn’t mind seeing them replace, oh we dunno, just off the top of our heads, the following bands…

  • Fall Out Boy
  • Blink-182
  • Sublime
  • AFI
  • Brand New
  • All Time Low
  • Pierce The Veil
  • Taking Back Sunday
  • Yellowcard
  • The Devil Wears Prada
  • Attack Attack!
  • Say Anything

Make those changes and maybe we’ll get our tickets.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Sloop John B.

Song of the Day

47 years ago today, Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys released their masterpiece of an album, Pet Sounds, an album Paul McCartney once called “the classic of the century.” Then in 2001, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes covered their song “Sloop John B” on Blow in the Wind, an album we once called, “not bad, we guess.”

Watch Titus Andronicus And The So So Glos Cover ‘No Sleep Till Brooklyn’

image

Here are The So So Glos and Titus Andronicus covering the Beastie Boys’ “No Sleep Till Brooklyn.” It’s always weird seeing a bunch of drunken white guys cover a rap song. Then you remember that the Beastie Boys are the whitest dudes ever anyway so it’s all good. Yo, MCA, we miss you.

Does anyone know if there is a Brooklyn-themed bar in New Orleans? The bartenders would have to have handlebar moustaches and wear shitty vintage clothes from Beacon’s Closet.

Tickets available HERE. Here’s who we got on tap…

Motörhead - Breaking The Law

Song of the Day

Wasn’t gonna post this song because of that godawful cover art. Seriously, look at that fucking cover. But then listen to Lemmy’s voice on the “Breakin’ the law, breakin’ the lawwwww” part. Holy shit. He sounds like a goddamn garbage truck processing a barrel full of chainsaws. 

The rest of this Judas Priest tribute album pretty much sucks. “Oh how bad can it be,” you ask very stupidly. Well, the next song is a cover of “Metal Gods” by Fozzy and Chris Jericho. So THERE YA GO.

Cory Branan - Survivor Blues

Song of the Day

We’re not just posting this because of the alligator lady boobs on the cover. Well, we are. But also, it’s an awesome song. So probably like 30% because of alligator boobs, 40% because of it being kickass record, 25% because Cory Branan is a southern hunk of man who can write the shit out of a song. How much is left over? 5%? Ok, then 5% because it beat out “The Safety Dance” in rock-paper-scissors.
