“Something” Fridays

I know we're all about the alliterative titles around here, so I'm working on a name for this. “Top Five Fridays” won't work because I don't intend to always have five items to post, but we'll see.

Basically, I'm trying to make myself contribute a little bit more -- and since finding good tweets and rock and roll songs have been my favorite things to do for this blog, that's what I'll go with for now. Here are some cool songs and funny tweets to start the weekend.

Nick Curran and the Lowlifes -- Rocker

This is the only song from this album that I can find on youtube, but I think it captures the proceedings nicely -- as AllMusic says: "Reform School Girl sounds like something along the lines of Little Richard backed by the Misfits with Phil Spector recording the proceedings in his garage."

Anyway, I haven't been this enamored with a record since I was talking up Those Darlins last summer. It's been on repeat for about two weeks now.

Big Star -- September Gurls

I guess I'll also follow every other blogger even remotely interested in music by posting a Big Star song since Alex Chilton died recently. Listen to anything they ever did, and you'll swear it's a song you've known all your life, even if you're hearing it for the first time.
