I used to play this when I was a wee boy.

The most famous K*nt song, "F*cksticks".

K*nt and the Gang - Men With Beards (What Are They Hiding?)

Maggie Thatcher always said she'd never trust a man with a beard. Clearly she wasn't into her Norwegian black metal.

K*nt and the Gang - Carol Vorderman

One of my favourite K*nt songs, dedicated to Countdown's resident numbers expert.

K*nt and the Gang - Perverts on the Internet

The first post in "K*nt and the Gang Week"! All week I'll be posting mindless puerile filth by this band from Essex, unless I get bored. Enjoy.

Lamb Of God - Walk With Me In Hell (Live)

From Download Festival.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Midnight Special

This is one my dad used to sing back in the day, it's a good song. But why take my word for it, when you can heed the words of YouTuber "10size":

"I didn't need to go to this concert.

Why? Because this concert-video clip is
SO FANTASTIC!!!

Watching it, REALLY BLOWS ME AWAY!!!!"

Cheap Trick - I Want You to Want Me (Live)

Thanks Dana.

Eddy Grant - I Don't Wanna Dance

Rembrand Neirinckx - Hamilton's Song

Just to rub it in!

Stemm - Face the Pain (Live)

FACE THE PAIN!!

This song even has some yodelling and purring towards the end.

Classic video here, a bit of dancing milk carton fun.

Ikari No Jushin Liger

... and my costume.

Liger smash!

Gary Jules - Mad World

Cool video.

It's nearly halloween... four years ago, Roospy dressed up as Donnie Darko, and this is from the soundtrack. That's about as good a link as any!

The Beach Boys - California Girls

Oceansize - Music for a Nurse

Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body

KMFDM - A Drug Against War

Stronger than ever, ever before, KMFDM is a drug against war!

The Magnetic Fields - 100,000 Fireflies

The song I was whistling outside the Bullring on Friday night.

One of my favourite Beatles songs.

Scars on Broadway - Serious

Apple bottom jeans, boots with the furrrrr (with the fur!)

Aerosmith - Cryin'

Great song from Tyler & co.

Enigma - Return to Innocence

This should ring a bell.

Opus - Life is Life

Cheese!

One Ring Zero - The Sad Carousel

I want a Claviola.

Del Amitri - Don't Come Home Too Soon

While looking for Nothing Ever Happens yesterday, I came across this, and it took me back to France '98. Well, not literally, but y'know...

Anyway, this is probably the most depressing football song of all time. Enjoy!

Del Amitri - Nothing Ever Happens

Great Scottish band.

Def Leppard - Rocket

Since it's F1 weekend, here's something that should ring a bell.

Flobots - Handlebars

Tony's been driving me mad singing this, but it's actually a cool song, and they're from Denver too.

Stiltskin - Inside (Live)

Achmed the Dead Terrorist - Jingle Bombs

Mr Blobby

D.R.I. - Acid Rain

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles with some early 90s "crossover thrash". This video was featured on Beavis and Butthead back in the day, and the band's been touring on the back of their 1995 album Full Speed Ahead for... well, thirteen years.

Recently on hiatus due to guitarist Spike Cassidy's battle with cancer, DRI should be back on the road fairly soon. Apologies for the Spanish subtitles, it's the only decent quality version.

Metallica - Cyanide

The final post of the Jools Holland GMVB Super Bonus Extravaganza Marathon - it's Metallica, performing "Cyanide" from their new album Death Magnetic.

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work

With strings. Oh yeah.

Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me

Elastica - Connection

Name the TV show...

Radiohead - High and Dry

From YouTube:

"Many people will be watching this performance with a great sense of nostalgia and awe of the bends period back in the mid 90's whether its the innovative music videos, the unique atmosphere of this album ..the bends was mostly ignored after its initial release and instead overtime has slowly developed a following ..

even if you miss this particular era of the bands sound, its hard not to admire them for continuously trying to create new worlds of sound on each album which creates excitement and anticipation, their albums are usually a reaction to the music they are listening to at the time, and back then, magazine, jeff & Tim buckley, scott walker, sonic youth, queen, the smiths, the beatles were major influences on the band, this is an album you play anytime and it still sounds fresh and bald, it was voted by Time Magazine as the 2nd greatest Album ever made .. ..

Radiohead played high and dry & the bends on jools holland in 1995 alongside Elvis Costello & artists such as Chris Isaak and a brilliant raggae group named Lucky Dube."

Seasick Steve - Dog House Boogie

One man, a guitar with three strings, a box, and a beard. MUST SEE.

From Jools' 2007 Hootenanny.

Alice In Chains - Would?

90s grunge band AIC with "Would?" from the BBC show Later with Jools Holland, back in 1993. Lead singer Layne Staley died of a drug overdose in 2002, but the band's still going strong with a new frontman.

There'll be more from Jools all week.

Alex C. ft. Y-Ass - Du Hast Den Schönsten Arsch Der Welt

This was on all the music channels when I was in Poland. Irritating stuff!

Haddaway - What Is Love

What Is Love ( Jim Carrey)

I had to resort to Dailymotion, but.... YESSSSSS. Must see. :D

JJ72 - October Swimmer

I remember watching this on Top of the Pops back in the day, going out, and buying the album. How things change!

Chris Rea - Saudade

This song was written in tribute to Ayrton Senna.

From Wikipedia:

"Saudade is a Galician and Portuguese word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which is lost. It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return"

Ultravox - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes/ Vienna

Angra - Angels Cry (Live)

George Dawes - Baked Potato

And if you want to have a better day... you must listen to what the baked potato say.

Paradise Lost - The Enemy

A bit of doom metal on a Sunday afternoon. :)

Linkin Park - Runaway

This song came into my head when Mr Roospy mentioned "guilt by association" the other day. Just looking at the crowd, I still can't believe Linkin Park went all emo and changed their style. I remember seeing 'em in 2003, and it was great... can't imagine them getting a crowd response like this for their newer stuff.

I guess nu metal's had its day in the sun.

Slipknot - Before I Forget

Metallica - Seek and Destroy (Live at the O2 Arena)

Guess where I was on Monday?

Wu Tang Clan - Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta Fuck Wit

Complete with Ernesto Hoost kicking people's heads off. Tigerstyle...

Various Artists - Perfect Day

Funnily enough, this still stands the test of time.

from Wikipedia:

The BBC commissioned a rendition of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day", and in 1997 the track was showcased in a lengthy corporate promotion of its diverse music coverage which was broadcast on BBC channels and in cinemas. It featured Lou Reed himself and other major artists in what the Financial Times described as "an astonishing line-up of world class performers".

In response to accusations from commercial competitors that the corporation had wasted vast sums on the film it was revealed that each artist received a "token" £250 because of their belief in the BBC.

Prompted by a huge public demand the track was released in November as a charity single for Children in Need. It was the UK's number one single for three weeks, in two separate spells. Selling over a million copies, the record contributed £2,125,000 to the charity's highest fundraising total in six years.

B-52s - Rock Lobster (Live 2007)

They're still alive. Fuck Napster! I mean, Rock Lobster!!

Rare Earth - I Just Want to Celebrate

How anyone can sing and play drums at the same time is beyond me.

Gary Numan - Music for Chameleons

A spot of air bass on a Saturday afternoon.

The Used - On My Own

Quite a sad video, this one. Respect to Hayabusa.

Scorpions - Send Me An Angel

Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time

One thing I've noticed about all these 1984 Grammy Awards performances is that the vocalists seem to go out of time, "time after time"... I'd imagine the sound engineers fucked up the monitoring.

Either that or everyone's had a dodgy batch of coke.

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

Live from the Grammys, 1984. The Cadbury gorilla advert came on the other day with this song instead of the Phil Collins one, which made me realise it was clearly POWER BALLAD TIME!

So, something similar this way comes, tomorrow. I'll keep posting shitty music until Lewis Hamilton gets his win back, lol.

The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode

Naughty naughty, very naughty...

(Is it just me, or does Alexei Sayle look like Samoa Joe?)

Metallica - So What (with Animal on vocals)

Live at Wembley Arena from 1992.

Serj Tankian - "Lie Lie Lie" (Live in Las Vegas)

Thoroughly entertaining gig on Monday night, thank you Mr Serj. Please teach me your dance moves.

Coolio - Gangster's Paradise

A bit of homie music, plus Michelle Pfeiffer... takes me right back to the 90s.

Tricky Beans - I'm H(a)unted

Sonata Arctica in a VERY early incarnation, as "Tricky Beans". This is a rare and unreleased demo, as you can probably tell...

The Beatles - "The Fool on the Hill"

Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round...

Whose Line Is It Anyway - "Backstreet Boys Hoedown"

My sentiments exactly.

Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here"

I think it's funny the way he sings along with the solo. Imagine the funny looks Murray would've got if he'd done that at a Sicknar band practice.

Mark Knopfler - "Postcards from Paraguay"

The ex-Dire Straits frontman. One of the best guitarists of all-time.

Black - "Wonderful Life" (Acoustic, 2005)

One of my favourite songs ever, with an acoustic spin on it.

Thunder - "Love Walked In"

Despite what Madonna might think, music isn't all about fashion. Kerrang and NME don't want you to know this kind of band still exist, but they do, thanks to a healthy number of loyal fans. Thunder = proper rock music. No emo fringes here!

Beirut - "Nantes"

Great concept for a video.

Apologies to a Mr. R. Oospy for the lateness of this post.

Crash Test Dummies - I Think I'll Disappear Now

Running into you like this without warning, is like catching a sniff of tequila in the morning. But I'll try, try to keep my food down.

Barenaked Ladies - 7 8 9

A song taken from Barenaked Ladies' album "Snacktime", which is aimed at kids. Check back tomorrow for another great Canadian band.

Metallica - The Day That Never Comes

The first single from Metallica's new studio album "Death Magnetic".
