Well it's Thursday, so you know what that means: A brand new Futurama. Also Bass Thumpin' Thursdays. Speaking of Futurama, A song caught my attention during the movie"Bender's Game", titled Rocketship by Kathy McAarty. The first 20 seconds or so are pure sample fodder, and just begging for a remix. The rest? Well... I'll let you be the judge. Also, Check out what the thieving, gambling, chain-smoking, whore-mongering, alcoholic robot Bender has to say about piracy.
Next up is a song that isn't so new but takes me back to one of my very first live concerts: Foo Fighters' "Monkey Wrench". The Foo Fighters have been in my rotation for almost 15 years and still keep pumping out hits, but it was their break away single (and the accompanying video) that first made me take notice of their prowess. Check out the video and see if you can name one of their other songs playing in the elevator. The Answer is below the video.
Answer: Big Me
Finally is a video from 90's punk-revival band Rancid, titled "Ruby Soho". Again this takes me back to one one of my first concerts (Actually, the same concert). The line up was Foo Fighters, Transplants, and, a band I haven't heard of since: Cave In. Tonotopik know what I'm talking about. Anyway, Rancid has had a cult following since it's inception in 1991 and though group members Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman have been involved in other punk projects including Operation Ivy and The Transplants, They remain the two core members of Rancid to this day, despite a couple of shake-ups in their line-up.
