The self-titled debut album from Them Crooked Vultures appeared on Spotify this week. I had been looking forward to hearing it and I wasn’t disappointed. Unsurprisingly, a lot of it sounds like Queens of the Stone Age. In fact if I had heard it in a sort of ‘blind-tasting’ I would have guessed it to […]

Keith Moon RIP
September 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Music
Keith Moon died 31 years ago today. This would be a good time to remember the Who Are You video but that’s too obvious, so how about this clip of The Who doing their Beach Boys impersonation, with Moon on lead vocals! You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
