photos of big star// back of a car

By doing a Google Images™ search of the band Big Star, I've concluded that they had some pretty cool styles "going ahn" (forgive me). Blue velvet suit jackets and embroidered flowery leather bombers may not be entirely practical for 25 degree plus weather, but they're something to keep in mind for next season. Something else to keep in mind is growing out your hair for when that time comes to wear this dream jacket...because having a bodacious 'do can never hurt.

The Replacements// Anywhere's Better Than Here

I wish the Replacements were on tour this summer...ahh seeing them would be so fun. Their expansive, quasi-stadium rock riffs make me want to raise hell like it's the freakin' eighties!! Look out!

The Smashing Pumpkins// Quiet (live)

R u ready?!?? Are you ready to ROCK? Last night I watched this Smashing Pumpkins videotape I found for free on someone's front lawn and it's a gem. Lots of 'psychedelic' lights and video effects. And band members acting in really weird comedic skits between songs!
