but I've been meaning to. I am a pretty big Nirvana fan and have all their albums (but will admit that I really only like Nevermind...i like odd songs on the other albums but I am obsessed every single song on Nevermind) and have read a few books on Kurt Cobain. So yeah, I will eventually watch it, for sure. 
Mine is mostly rock and metal related, but I have lots of different artists. Every thing from Arcade Fire to Iron Maiden to Miles Davis to Parliament-Funkadelic to the Beastie Boys, Michael Jackson, Nine Inch Nails, Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson, Frank Zappa and just about anything you can think of. 
its so Now .
Last time I was at Amoeba Music I almost considered splurging for a discontinued box set they had of the complete studio recordings of Frank Sinatra but decided against it because the packaging wasn't complete. Maybe next time.
I loved the movie and I'm a huge Ice Cube fan and man did that movie showcase the more violent aspects of his past and all the fights that broke out between NWA and Ice Cube's crew after NWA broke up. I'm at least glad that they showed when Ice Cube made amends with Easy E. But wow...
I mean serious that was a definite Oscar worthy performance from O'Shea Jackson Jr. And yeah I am also glad this was produced by Dre and Cube. I wonder if Easy E had been healthy enough that they could have pulled off the NWA reunion tour, what would have happened?
And this thread needs this song:
I am not even kidding about that. My tastes run from Claude Debussy to Soundgarden. I just like music that I find pleasant or interesting to listen to, and any album gets a gold star with me if it contains at least three songs that I will put in my rotation. How rare is that?
That having been said, having heard "Shake It Off" and thinking it was kind of fun, I decided to give Taylor Swift's entire last album a try just to see how I liked it. My wife has always talked about how talented she thought Taylor was, and I just kind of rolled my eyes the whole time.
And so I listened to it, and damn if EVERY song on that album isn't fucking GREAT! I cannot believe I am typing these words. The whole theme of the album is basically "Yeah, I know what you all say about me and ha ha isn't it funny and anyway I don't give a fuck what you think." It's all delivered with such monstrous, infectious hooks that you wouldn't expect that it's actually intensely personal, but it is. One of the songs ("Out of the Woods"
is even reminiscent of Kate Bush's more accessible work, in this sense. Yeah, that's right; I just compared Taylor Swift to Kate Fucking Bush. I don't care what you all think about that, because Kate Bush wouldn't and it's VERY clear that Taylor wouldn't, either.
So anyway, in order to expand my Swiftian ouevre, I'm going to check out Red tonight, which I'm told is almost as good as 1989. I don't expect to be disappointed.
See what I did there?
I don't object to that comparison at all (and I'm a huge Kate Bush fan...one of the musical geniuses of our age). Swift is enormously underrated as a songwriter and performer.
And I laughed out loud when I read that. 
Nicely done!
So, yeah, if I compare a Taylor Swift song to something Kate would do, I assure you that I'm serious about that.
Loudwire had planned to roll out a new Motorhead song a day in the lead up to the release of the band’s new Bad Magic album on Friday, but the band has decided to release all five tracks today. As such, we’re going ahead and posting the three remaining tracks set to premiere this week along with the previously posted “Electricity” and “Sympathy for the Devil” that went up earlier today.
We’ll start with Motorhead’s “Victory or Die,” a raise your fist to the air anthem from the iconic rockers. The song starts with a triumphant yell from Lemmy Kilmister before launching into full gear. It’s a rocker that’s sure to spur you into action if you ever needed a kick in the pants.
The second new song is called “Evil Eye.” It starts off with a catchy drum beat from Mikkey Dee, then turns into a full throttle rocker with a more sinister vibe to it. Lemmy has a little more growl than usual when the chorus hits, which only adds to the darker vibe of the song.
And the third new track is called “Shoot Out All Your Lights,” which opens with Dee getting his reps in behind the kit before Phil Campbell‘s driving guitar starts to push the track forward. There’s a little call-and-response that should be fun for fans once the band starts incorporating the song into their live sets. “Shoot Out All Your Lights” is a high energy, propulsive rocker made for the stage.
