Friday Favourites

Favourite Song of The Week:
Dude Looks Like A Lady - Aerosmith.
If there was ever a song more perfect for dancing around the lounge in your pajamas, this is it! Old school classic rock and roll: winning.


Favourite Album of The Week:
United By Fate - Rival Schools.
One of the most underrated bands of all time? Yes. One of the first, maybe the first, punk supergroups whose first album is impressive regardless of your preferred music tastes, but a pretty vital addition to your collection if you're a hardcore-punk enthusiast. Plus, if you're band is made up of members from Punk heroes such as Gorilla Biscuits, CIV, Youth of Today, and Iceburn, you can't go wrong can you?


Favourite Video of The Week:
Arguing With Thermometers - Enter Shikari. 
For no other reason than that Rou Reynolds looks Hot (capital H) with a 'tache - okay who am I kidding? It's just a sick vid, with a sick message behind it.

Favourite Day of Reading Fest:
Sunday, duh. 
Yes, yes I already knew Foos & The Cure were headlining, BUT I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that my beloved Bullet For My Valentine were to be destroying the main stage come Sunday 26th - I will happily be crushed against the barrier for that one. And as if that's not good enough, Eagles Of Death Metal are gracing us with their presence too? Jeez, who needs birthdays eh? Party on!!

Come on, it'd be rude not to!..

Favourite Song of the Week:
Stupid Kid - Alkaline Trio.
Cut to me singing this song to my friend in the pub on monday - she hadn't heard of it before, so it seemed only the fair thing to do that I should perform my very best rendition of it (complete with appropriate air-guitar). Got a free drink out of it, so it's all good.
There's not much I don't love about this song, catchy hooks, punchy bassline, clever lyrics, cool video... Total rocker!

Favourite Album of the Week:
The Poison - Bullet For My Valentine. 
When it comes to sheer, snarling agrresion, and heavy metal it doesn't come much better than this - no, really it doesn't. There's not a single song on this album that isn't worthy of face-melting, spine-shattering credentials. I also think 'Tear's Don't Fall' is one of the greatest metal anthems of all time - and no, it's not just because the very sight of Matt Tuck in the rain gives me chills.

Favourite Video of the Week:
I think we all know where this is going... Well, come on it'd be rude not to!

Favourite Matt Tuck picture of the Week:
There seems to be a theme developing here, and I'm not about to go against it. So here you go, you're all welcome.

UGH.

Favourite Guitar Solo of the Week:

Angus Young - Live at River Plate, Buenos Aires, 2009.

This isn't so much a guitar solo as a guitar spectacle/masterclass. Do yourself a favour, and watch this in it's glorious entirety. The crowd are lapping it up - lucky bastards!
