Video: Bad Dudes Song "Eat Drugs" Synced Up with Classic-Rock Footage!

The fan-made video for "Eat Drugs" by LA's Bad Dudes is such a cool idea, that I am surprised no one has done something like it before (maybe they have?). The song itself is a prog-tastic rock and roll party anthem with paranoid and silly lyrics ...

In the spirit of Halloween, I began snooping around for scary music to post and now I won't be able to sleep. The Occult Rock Library lists 13 of the creepiest records from the 60s and 70s that were dedicated to the Dark Lord and all that goes ...

A 23 minute supper with Genesis

A 23 minute supper with Genesis

Holy shit Genesis were so fucking weird in the 70's! This was when the band was at its purest, most artistic and daring, before that sissy 80's crap (ok ok i kind of dig 80's Genesis.) Peter Gabriel on vocals, Phil Collins on the cans. Unstoppab ...
