Friday Rocks: "Wish," by Nine Inch Nails

This one comes with a birthday dedication. To Dan ... 29 years, on your way to Hell.

Friday Rocks: "This Is Not For You," by Pearl Jam

My favorite Pearl Jam song, in all its angry and shambling rock glory.

Friday Rocks: "Sabbra Cadabra," by Black Sabbath

Friday Rocks: "Taxi," by Harry Chapin

 
Not exactly rockin', but it'll do.

Friday Rocks: "Journey to the Center of the Mind," by the Amboy Dukes

Friday Rocks: "CIA Man," by The Fugs

RIP Tuli Kupferberg.

Friday Rocks: "Light Me Up," by Ween

"I'm a friggin' man of steel, 

I got lots of sex appeal,

Do you want to make a deal?"

Friday Rocks: "Evidence," by Faith No More

I'm mere hours from seeing them in concert. I never believed I'd say that.

Friday Rocks: "Somebody Super Like You," from "Phantom of the Paradise"

I can't get enough. And this time here's an actual clip from the movie! This really, really rocks.

Friday Rocks: "One Big Holiday," by My Morning Jacket

This thing just cooks, especially toward the end. Suck it, Skynard!

Friday Rocks: "Get Down Moses," by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros

Friday Rocks: "First We Take Manhattan," by Leonard Cohen

Friday Rocks: "The Many Things That Life Could Bring" by Hey OK Fantastic

The song starts at about one minute in. Man, that is one rock 'n' roll jacket.

Friday Rocks: "What's He Building in There?" by Tom Waits

More a poem set to music than a song, but it's sublimely creepy. I love the emphasis he puts on the word "building" in the refrain.

Friday Rocks: "Woodstock," By CSNY

This is stuck in my head because this week's highly divisive episode of "Lost" reminded me of some of the lyrics:

We are stardust, we are golden,
We are caught in the Devil's bargain,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Friday Rocks: "Stray Bullet," by KMFDM

I could have picked any cut from KMFDM's "Symbols" album, but I was simply feeling this one today.

Friday Rocks: "Dark Night of the Soul" by Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse

Friday Rocks: "I Fought the Law" by the Dead Kennedys

Friday Rocks: "Incident on 57th Street" by Bruce Springsteen

"Lost" just had to go and drop a Spanish Johnny reference this week, didn't it?

Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night

With bruised arms and broken rhythm in a beat-up old Buick

But dressed just like dynamite

That last line's for you, Ilana ...

Friday Rocks: "Where Do We Go From Here?" by Death

Rock on into the weekend, folks!
