Top 5 Bands You Want to See Reunited
Top 5 Bands You Want to See Reunited
Since this is the first day it seems like the sun has been out in June in Chicago, it got me thinking about the upcoming summer festivals that will be taking place in this great city.
One thing that has been consistent over the years has been bands reuniting to play Lollapalooza, Pitchfork or even the Taste. So, with that in mind, I bring you today’s top 5 list: Top 5 bands you want to see reunited to play live at your favorite summer festival. Now there is only one rule to this, the members need to alive, since John and George are gone. Now you could do something like Queen or Zeppelin since they have played live since the loss of Mercury & Bonham.
Anyway, here are mine, please submit yours in the comment section
1. The Smiths
2. Blur
3. Stone Roses
4. Catherine Wheel
5. Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Top 5 Cover Songs
I’m going to have a lot of running around to do tomorrow, so I thought I would post the weekly top 5 list today instead of on Friday.
Going back to the music realm of top 5’s, I ask you for your top 5 cover songs.
Now I know I am going to catch shit from some of you on these because of who is covering the tunes, but god damn, if you can't admit they are quality, you in fact may be a (insert insult)
anyway, here they are:
1. Pixies – Head On (Jesus & Mary Chain)
2. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin – Saturday Night (Bay City Rollers)
3. The Cardigans – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Black Sabbath)
4. Travis – Killer Queen (Queen)
5. Nine Inch Nails - Dead Souls (Joy Division)
I originally had this as number 5, then I remembered how good of a version trent did of that joy division classic.
6. Oasis – Cum on Feel the Noize (Slade)

Random Updates for today
Here are some random links to interesting items I found on the interweb. Also, below you will find a list of new concerts going on sale.
Stream the new Sonic Youth album Eternal here
Pitchfork Reviews the new Jarvis Cocker album Further Complications. As always, I think pitchfork takes off a few points for everything that is not 100% “indie”
The new Mos Def album, True Magic comes out on August 24.
Baebelmusic posted a Beirut concert a few weeks ago, so I thought I would make sure you all got to check it out. The first song is “East Harlem” which apparently he wrote when he was 17.
Paste Magazine provides their top 10 list of music magazines to follow on twitter.
Filter Magazine lists their best albums of the year, thus far.
Michael Caine spills the beans on who will be the next villain in Batman. God, please let this be true.
Concerts going on sale this weekend:
