Constantly Stealing Cocaine Is An Actionable Tragedy - Tuesday Shuffle

The Constant - Anthrax.  Song off of the album that came out today.  First time hearing it and it's exceptional.  Belladonna has grown into his voice as an older fella.  Gonna devour the album after the shuffle.  Seriously enjoying it.

 

Cocaine Cowboys - WASP.  I was terrified of WASP when I was a kid, legitimately thought they would make me a satanist if I listened too much.  Turns out they are an accessible rock band and not scary in the least bit.  Still never heard a song…

Your Mother's Dog Is A Rusty Janitor - Monday Shuffle

Janitor - Toad The Wet Sprocket.  This guys voice is killing me.  TTWS and a headache don't mix,

 

Kingdom Of Rust - Doves.  It's a chuck wagon galloping kind of song but sung by a nasally English fop.  It doesn't help with the headache either.

 

Sylvia's Mother - Dr. Hook.  Poor Dr. Hook is emotional 'cause his woman ran off.  Man up Dr. Hook.  I can't imagine a woman named Sylvia is all that good lookin' anyway.  You can do better than…

Chained Surfer In The Dark Without Shelter - Wednesday Shuffle.

Breaking The Chains - Dokken.  Getting tired of Dokken, specifically this song.  Just can't see why I liked it so much in the first place.  The nostalgia factor doesn't cut it when it comes to Breaking The Chains.

 

Shot In The Dark - Ozzy Osbourne.  It's a damn shame that Jake E. Lee was replaced by that idiot Zakk.  Jake is the superior Ozzy guitarist.  Outside of Crazy Train, this is probably my favorite Ozzy song.  The nostalgia factor is working now.

 

Surfer…

The Spectrum Of Time Is An Island Of Walking Lies - Tuesday Shuffle

Got The Time - Anthrax.  More of a punk anthem than a thrashing metal song expected from Anthrax.  Seems like Green Day took more than a little inspiration from this song.  Great bass line.

 

Devil's Island - Megadeth.  Ooooh, spooky devil worshiping Megadeth.  It's my favorite kind of Megadeth.  Third or fourth best track on their best release.

 

On The Backs Of Angels - Dream Theater.  Too much technicality, not enough groove.  That's always been the case with…

Zombies Live With The Evidence Of Hurting Bodies - Monday Shuffle

Evidence - Faith No More.  The definitive FNM song.  Smoothed out yet progressive and frantic in it's own way.  The strings aren't cheesy and the funk isn't forced.  Hell, this song is THE best R&B funky progressive jam ever written.

 

Hurt - Johnny Cash.  The best cover song every done by anyone in the history of forever.  It would be an injustice to describe the emotion here.  It is all encompassing, everything a person can be or feel is in this song.…

Panties Belong At Home - Sunday Shuffle

We Belong - Pat Benetar.  Her masterwork.  Can't say a bad word about this.  Tearing up a little too.  I remain a man though.  

 

Where Are My Panties - Outkast.  Not a song but it has never been skipped on a shuffle.

 

Home Sweet Home - Motley Crue.  When I was in the 6th grade this song made all of the girls cry for some unknown reason and it turned me off to this song for a while.  The solo is one of the best ever though.

 

Paradise City - Guns N…

My Love Was Born In California Hours Before The Revelation - Thursday Shuffle

Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers.  I am going to delete every damn RHCP album I own (and there's a lot of them) after hearing the stupidest lyric ever written on their new song I'm With You.  There is no excuse now, nor will there ever be an excuse for "I like your cheeky, oh so Mozambique-y".  I never cared for this shitty song either.

 

We Were Born To Be Loved - King's X.  Might be my favorite King's X song.  I get tired of them but this song always…

Russian Machines Are Better Off As Arm Chairs - Tuesday Shuffle

Black Spartacus Heart Attack Machine - The Nightwatchman.  If Bob Dylan and Tony Iommi had sex an angry communist named Tom Morello would be born from the union.  This song is actually pretty fun despite the lefty leanings.

 

Russian Roulette - Rihanna.  This chick is as close to an old school soul singer as anyone else these days. Fantastic voice.  It doesnt hurt that she's easy to look at either.

 

Better Off - Foo Fighters.  Bonus song off of the Wasting Light…

Can't Wait To Win And Get My Whiskey On - Monday Shuffle

Further On (Up The Road) - Bruce Springsteen.  Very close to old Bruce but at the same time too much like a CCR song.

 

I Can't Wait - J. Mascis.  One of the better tracks on J's solo album.  A little better structure than some of the aimless tracks here.

 

Whiskey In The Jar - Metallica.  This is THE best cover of WIJ.  Thin Lizzy fans might argue but they're wrong.  They're also annoying for having the gall to question my opinion.  I want to produce my rapier…

I Am A Man With Powerful Arms - Thursday Shuffle

I Am I - Queensryche.  Ah, Promised Land.  This album tried to be grungy but kinda failed.  I listened to it fairly often when it came out but it just wasn't what I want with an Queensryche album.  It'll be a while before I bring this album up in a non-shuffle setting.

 

Be A Man - Tesla.  Tesla is a producer.  Can't think of a single album that I dislike.  Good old fashioned rock n' roll can't be beat.

 

Eat Me Up Alive - Ratt.  Hell of a metal song from a band…

Super Stevie's Regrettable Fox Clothing - Wednesday Shuffle.

Super Bass - Nicki Minaj.  There is no reason that I should be listening to this.  It is, at best, okay.

 

A Wolf In Geek's Clothing - The Naked And Famous.  Been digging female fronted rock bands lately. This song and band is fairly new to me but will definitely make more time with the album soon.

 

Blackbird And The Fox - The Twilight Singers.  "I'll make them bleed for my baby bird" is my favorite lyric in any song ever.   It's obsessive, loving, and psychotic…

Mother Stays Away From Libras And Rockstars - Tuesday Shuffle.

I Stay Away - Alice In Chains.  Damn, just when I was thinking that Nutshell is their greatest accomplishment this one has to pop up.  It really might be the pinnacle of AIC domination.  Cinematic and more than a little spooky.

 

Mother - Danzig.  This is the only Danzig song I own.  It may be a disappointment if I dive too deeper into their catalog.  Can't imagine them doing anything better than this.  All around superb.

 

3 Libras - A Perfect Circle.  Jeez, I'm…

Looking For Your Weighty Dreams - Monday Shuffle.

We're Not Alone - Peeping Tom.  The best song on the best post Faith No More album by Mike Patton.  It's aggressive and melodic and a little weird.  I'm bending the shuffle rules and going to listen to it twice.

 

These Dreams - Jim Croce.  Jim was kind of a sentimental pussy but, damn, homie could write a song. 

 

Looking For Love - King's X.  Good use of "wall of noise" on this track.  King's X doesn't use it too often but always do it well.  It's a nice break…

Sunflowers On The Way Up Flaming Grapevines - Sunday Shuffle.

She Gave Good Sunflower - Black Crowes.  Just last night I had a conversation about my dislike of jam bands.  Phish, Widespread and the like are garbage but the southern rock bands that play with jam are the domination.  There is real feeling, soul in this song.

 

Narcosis - Tomahawk.  It's a muted trip of a song with a shitty Native American inspired chant.  Peyote doesn't intrigue me in the least bit and neither does the audio version.  Next.

 

On My Way Up -…

Judith Has Fallen Deep Looking At Molecules - Friday Shuffle.

Looks That Kill - Motley Crue.  Mick Mars is a riff machine.  This one is on par with anything Tony Iommi ever came up.

 

The Demiurge Molecule -  Dimmu Borgir.  It's the tolerable Norwegien black metal masters!  The Cookie Monster vocals are kept to a minimum but the synth is somewhat annoying. Dig the real horns though.

 

Judith - A Perfect Circle.  The most "Tool-y" song on Mer De Noms bit still distinct.  

 

Deep End - School Of Fish.  This band…

Angels And God Promised Fringes - Thursday Shuffle

Summer Angel - Minus The Bear.  Really great band.  Reminds me of Ben Folds but with a little more punch.  

 

Too Late Too Late - Metallica.  Metallica covering Motorhead is a can't fail scenario.

Higher Than God - King's…

See The Young Pink Glued and Crucified - Wednesday Shuffle

Unglued - Stone Temple Pilots.  hmmm, I like it enough but don't love it.  It's been a while since I've listened.  Seems a lot simpler than I remember. 

 

Pink & Blue - Outkast.  Love it.  It's nothing like rap or jazz or pop or anything else but remains stellar.

 

Crucified - Sevendust.  Animosity might be my favorite Sevendust album.  I can do without the angry white guy rapping though.  

 

Now You See It (Now You Don't) - Ozzy Osbourne.  The…

Afraid Of Shine And Rust And Light - Tuesday Shuffle.

Shine - Sevendust.  Probably my favorite Sevendust song.  Soulful, melodic, hard driving.  I say "soulful" because that's what you're supposed to say when the singer is black but don't want to appear racist.

 

Keep The Light On - Jerry Cantrell.  This one hasnt popped up in ages.  Forgot how much I like it.  Boggy Depot really is good, top to bottom.  

 

Are We Afraid - Toad The Wet Sprocket.  Sappy bullshit that I could do without right now.  Whiny crap that guys…

A Tale Of God's Heart Breaking Hubris. Thursday Shuffle.

Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar.  No no no.  Pat doesnt have any definable voice talent and isn't good looking but people love her.  I'm among those people.  Good song!

 

Ten Speed (Of God's Blood & Burial) - Coheed & Cambria.  It's been a while since I've had C&C show up.  Love it!  This song is as good as any they've put out.  Too bad about their druggy bassist.  Bassists in any band should be able to afford all the smack they need.  

 

Hubris - Ice…
