One of the most alarming things I read today was that Kiss is about to have their first Rolling Stone cover…ever.  Ever!  WTF Rolling Stone.  I’m not pissed that Kiss is getting a Rolling Stone cover…I’m in shock that it has taken almost 40 years for them to get one.  Justin Beiber’s had THREE covers!  And he sucks.  Miley Cyrus has been on the cover of Rolling Stone.  But not Kiss.  Clay Aiken, Creed, Wilson Philips, Adam Lambert, and Snooki have been on the cover.  But not Kiss.  Charles Manson and the Boston Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have made the cover of Rolling Stone.  But not Kiss.  A terrorist gets priority over Gene Simmons!  Seriously?!!  At least, Charles Manson put out an album.

On a positive note, Kiss does get their cover before The Pixies, Public Enemy, My Bloody Valentine, The Smiths, The Kinks, New Order and The Velvet Underground.

Here are the 11 Best Songs By The Tokyo Police Club:

  1. Favourite Colour (Champ)
  2. If It Works (A Lesson In Crime)
  3. Your English Is Good (Elephant Shell)
  4. Cut Cut Paste (Smith)
  5. Tessellate (Elephant Shell)
  6. Nature of the Experiment (A Lesson In Crime)
  7. Wait Up (Champ)
  8. Big Difference (Champ)
  9. Little Sister (Ten Songs, Ten Years, Ten Days)
  10. Box (Smith)
  11. Since U Been Gone (Ten Songs, Ten Years, Ten Days)

The 11 Best Bands Who Should Reunite to Play Coachella

They crammed all my favorite bands into Saturdays line-up, so I was left with no choice but to watch the Chili Peppers.

One of the best things about Coachella is guessing with iconic band will reunite for that year’s show.  This list taps into the wet dreams of all the indie kids heading out to the desert every year.  For a list of the best bands who are still together that have never played together…check yesterday’s list.  I excluded a couple of groups (N.W.A., The Replacements) because they were missing dead members.  I only did this to narrow down the list.

Who am I missing?

Here are the 11 Best Bands Who Have Never REUNITED To Play Coachella:

  1. The Smiths
  2. The Police
  3. The Talking Heads
  4. R.E.M.
  5. Neutral Milk Hotel
  6. Outkast
  7. Soundgarden
  8. lush
  9. Oingo Boingo
  10. Fugazi
  11. A Tribe Called Quest
  12. Sneaker Pimps (original line-up)
  13. Porno For Pyros

um…yeah…that’s 13.  It’s a hard list to make!

Why are the MTV movie awards more interesting than the Video Music Awards?  I honestly don’t care for the awards part.  Any award show where Twilight takes home the movie of the year prize has some serious legitimacy problems.  But the show itself, the spoofs and the presenters are far more interesting than the video aawards.  Recently the video awards have been a full blown lip syncing dance party, featuring medicore artists who can’t even play their music live.  There’s no mre improv like Kurt Cobain singing rape Me seconds before he could be sensored…or the dude from Rage Against the Machine climbing on the set pieces.  Now everything’s plotted out and planned.  It’s become second-rate soft-serve vanilla.  The video music awards used to be cool…now I’d rather watch the Grammy’s.

 1.  Your English Is Good (Elephant Shell)
