I had no idea that SWERVEDRIVER made a video for Last Train To Satansville. Speaking of killer opening lines, this song’s got ‘em:
“You look like you’ve been losing sleep,” said a stranger on a train
I fixed him with an ice cold stare and said, “I’ve been having those dreams again…”
SWERVEDRIVER is currently out on some US dates, and will be in DC on March 30.

This is a few weeks old, but DAVID LEE ROTH recently explained the exceedingly rational reason behind the legendary tour rider of “no brown M&M’s backstage.”
It will fascinate you.
one of my favorite songs, one of my favorite groups and you get a cookie if you knew that this was in She’s All That. It makes me want to do a bunch of drugs and stay all night out and about with my boo.
The Afghan Whigs on Late Night with Conan O’Brien
Our friends over at Your Daily Dose of Rock and Roll posted this most excellent clip of the late Billy Strange playing guitar with Nancy Sinatra’s live performance of “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).” Great clip.
I don’t often let my movie side show on the blog, but this HIGHLANDER vs. EVIL DEAD claymation video is 3 minutes of weirdness that deserves to be seen if you’re a fan of either.
DON’T MESS WITH KEITH RICHARDS.
He will not only take a sucker out with his guitar, but - as noted in the comments for this video - he will turn it down first so as not to ruin the tune. That is both bad-ass and professional.
How Greg and Rick of the Afghan Whigs met…
in jail.
Presumably that’s how they know What Jail Is Like.

CASSETTE: A DOCUMENTARY FILM
Zack Taylor and Seth Smoot are less than $3,000 away from completely funding their documentary film on the cassette tape. For more info, click here.
One of my favorite things in the days of taping LPs to Cassettes was to find new and unusual tape brands to try. Yes, I’d check that section of record stores and stereo shops to see what unusual brands they might be carrying.

JUST FOUND OUT THAT PLAYMIXT WON THE 9:30 CLUB’S NEW YEAR’S EVE TOAST CONTEST FOR THE 12/31 SHOW BY THE DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS.
