The Friday Favorite - "Rock N Roll Train" by AC/DC


Kinda twist on the old Friday Favorite today. It's not a video per se but it is a first listen of "Rock N Roll Train", the new single from AC/DC's Black Ice CD (which is slated for an October 18th release date). Unfortunately, I can't seem to find an embedded player but I can provide links to the song on two sites:

The Return of the Friday Favorite - "Blind Man" by Black Stone Cherry


Here's something to get your feet tappin' and your body rockin'. BSC will be releasing their new CD, Folklore & Superstition, this upcoming Tuesday. Their sound is like a mix of Southern Fried Rock and 70s Classic Rawk. Judge for yourselves - here's the first single, Blind Man:

The Friday Favorite - "Hell Yeah" by Rev Theory

What do you get when you have a Slash-style opening lick, a loud singable chorus and a very tight hard rock sound? The answer is "Hell Yeah" by Rev Theory. the song is the first single off of the recently released "Light It Up". The song will also be included in the Madden '09 soundtrack which is a very good indication of how well it plays. Check it out right now below:

The Friday Favorite - "Stuff" by George Carlin (Comic Relief 1986)

In honor of the great comic philosopher, Carlin, here's one of his most recognized (and tamer) bits - "Stuff" from 1986's Comic Relief. Anyone who love Carlin listens to him wih not only their ears with their brains as well:

The Friday Favorite - "Hole Hearted" by Extreme

This one is dedicated to the Boston Celtics and their fans who have a certain hole in their heart since 1986. And to Chazer who will hopefully have to give up the trophy for this year on Father's Day.

The Friday Favorite - Testament "Practice What You Preach"

I'm not sure why this band didn't get the same adulation that their fellow San Fran Speed Metal residents Metallica did but this song, the title track actually, shows that they were every bit as good as Lars, Kirk, James and Cliff (or Jason depending on when you followed them).

The sound on this vid really is pitiful so I highly recommend getting this CD or one of their "Greatest Hits", Signs of Chaos or The Very Best of Testament. They are that good; again as this video, crappy sound and all, an attest.

The Friday Favorite - Don Geronimo Then and Now

Recently, I have been finding myself listening to some of the Best of Don and Mike at work and located some quality D&M stuff on the old Net. So, here's a Then and Now of the recently retired Doni G. First off is a commercial from Chicago with Donald P. Geronimo as a solo morning DJ at B96:



For the Now part, here's the last time that Don got some "live" air time from the CBS Evening News:



What's funny about this is that the underlying theme of relaxing is something is a total 180 from what Don's professional life is.

And in case you are wondering, The Friday Favorite comes from Don and Mike when they used to reference I. Probably the best bit that involved listener participation outside of the Christmas favorite Kill, Maim or Torture - a game where yours truly played back in the early 90s and got two out of three. But that's a story for another time.

The Friday Favorite - Hear 'N Aid "We Are Stars"

Here's a great benefit song from the mid 80s. Not as big as We Are The World or (Do They Know) It's Christmastime but probably on par with Sun City. Great discussion points:


  • Many bad 'Fro Mullets

  • Michael McKeon again gloming on the Benefit Bandwagon (he's also on We Are The World)

  • The late Kevin DuBrow (Quiet Riot) in full cheesey rocker form

  • Geoff Tate with a horrid half-mohawk/half-Tears for Fears hair style



I could go on but just watch it for yourself:
