The Stones turn 50!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that The Rolling Stones are celebrating their 50'th anniversary with some kickoff shows in London this week. Opening night featured a killer setlist with the highlight being a rousing take on "Midnight Rambler" featuring former band member/guitarist Mick Taylor simply killing it! I love the stripped down nature of this...just amazing talents still playing the best rock and roll ever recorded. Welcome back boys!!

Ian Hunter-"When I'm President"

Who would have thought that one of the best songs I've heard all year would come from former 1970's Mott the Hoople frontman Ian Hunter?! Admittedly, I haven't heard much about Ian since the early 1980's brilliant "All of the Good Ones are Taken" but after listening to this smart, melodic beauty I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

Merry Christmas from CeeLo and the Muppets!

A Christmas song with CeeLo Green and the Muppets with a "manamana" sing-along?! I may just be getting into the spirit. Total awesomeness!!
