My friend Sam asked me if I'd heard this Rod Stewart covers record he recorded in 1998. Of course I hadn't... but to my pleasant surprise when I did Rod turns out some pretty killer covers of "Cigarettes and Alcohol" by Oasis and "Rocks" by Primal Scream. Rod takes those songs and makes em his own. Rod rules. He also covers The Faces song "Oh-La-La" which he never got to sing cuz his disco career was taking off and homeboy didn't come into the studio. Totally worth the $2 bucks youre gonna pay for this when you find it in the used bin. DO IT!
(Download - "Cigarettes and Alcohol")
Also, as of today you can stream two songs from the new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club record "Baby 81", which I've heard and it's going to be one of the best records of 2007. It fuckin' smokes... hit up their website @ http://www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com/ to stream "Weapon of Choice" and "666 Conducer".
Speaking of Oasis.. Lily Allen can't party with Liam... click here.
fucking rock n roll..It makes me feel good inside

Remember when buddyhead used to have a go at bands and record labels for being boring and unadventurous?

I'm having the same problem finding the B.R.M.C. songs. Was it a one day only deal?

Yeah you're right, it's not 1999. It's 2007 and you're going on about Rod Stewart. Dork.

If you don't like it go jerk off to Pitchfork, Dork.

Rod's still here cause he knows how to Roll With it Baby! You've got to change with the times a bit, and even though Rock n' Roll is Forever, look at the popular crap of shallow marketed popsters that are popular now and that won't be relevant in 10 years. Rod's lasted 40, and can still fill a stadium.

good post man! rod's the shit. this one isn't as good as the early solo record and definitely not as good as the motherfucking faces, but it's still way better than all of these pussy rock bads out now. it's a pretty sad commentary on popular music that the all of the best rock bands that are big time are old as fuck. it was all downhill from GNR...

I was a little sceptical at first, but this ain't bad at all.
Certainly better than Sheryl Crow's version of "Sweet Child of Mine"
