Would You Buy Music from These Guys?

So, simple yes or no here. Would you buy a record with music by this guy?

I'm guessing you would rather buy a dime bag, right? Well how about this next guy? 

I'm guessing you would rather just ask him for help finding a book at Borders. Well both of these guys, along with an equally creepy looking bald guy form the band Dinosaur Jr.

Dinosaur Jr. have crawled out of what is presumably their parents basements for a new album. It's worth checking out since most of the music these guys have made is really solid. 

Here they are on skateboards/bicycles! Ahhhhhhh!

Get 'Farm' which comes out June 23.

'I Want You to Know'

Stale Biscuit: Tom Waits

Happy Friday all. Friday nights used to see Tom Waits scrounging in an alley behind a dive bar corralling the hobos for stories and stealing a nip of their brown bag cough syrup. Sure, those days are behind him, but we can reminisce.

'Rain Dogs'

Stale Biscuit: Serge Gainsbourg

Oh Serge, you dirty, dirty old man. I'm not French, so I am not sure what this song is about, but I can guess that it is something sexual. This song, 'En Melody' comes from his recently re-released album 'Histoire De Melody Nelson,' so you know, check it out or whatever. 70's France looks really nice!

And this is his infamous line to Whitney Houston (skip to about 1:40 and look at her face).

Fresh Biscuit: Neil Young

So, Neil Young, rock veteran of about 40 years released a new album. What's that? Its a concept album about electric cars, called 'Fork in the Road?' Wait a second...I don't hate this! Thats it, I'm getting an MRI next week.

Fresh Turd: Chris Cornell

Well look who decided to join the parade of (semi-)respectable 90's alt-rock kings who trash any remaining respect for them with god awful choices (looking at you Billy Corgan).  This is a little old, but Chris Cornell of Soundgarden did sumthin' real real bad.  He teamed up with hip-hop producer Timbaland for some bangin' club tracks, like this one, 'Part of Me'.  It starts poorly, but you HAVE to stick around for the most awkward chorus of all time.  Part of me says I might have liked this song if Britney Spears recorded it.

Stale Biscuit: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

In the creepy old man department is the Australian Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.  I think many of you know them by their song 'Red Right Hand' which was used in both Dumb and Dumber and Scream.  They are re-releasing The Seeds' first four albums, so you'll want to check that out if its your thing.  And, I dug up some old Youtube videos.  First is one from their latest, 'Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!' which I love for the parts when Nick sounds preachery.  The other one is 'Your Funeral, My Trial' from the album of the same name.  Dare I say its a post-murder ballad?

Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
