Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, “Down to the Fire”

Last time, I said that I liked Blood Lust more than The Night Creeper. And, yeah, I like this song! Go past me!

Benny Sings, “Familiar”

We don’t listen to a lot of stuff around here that’s just, you know, pop. But it can be a nice break every now and again to relax, put on something pretty and kind of undemanding. That sort of describes this record very well, but I enjoy it as a change of pace.

The Jam, “All Mod Cons”

Title track of the first of their essential albums, and just a quick little gem. I wonder if I could learn this bass line?

Ice Cube, “The Bomb”

AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted is really a hybrid album, with the vintage Bomb Squad production married to Ice Cube’s flow. It’s a little bit of an awkward fit at times. Both artists are, of course, legends for a reason and some of the best ever at what they do. And it’s a great album, but I think Cube’s following couple albums bring things together a little bit better.
