APRIL FOOL'S DAY ---- JAM ON IT

"This is my world, and I am the World Leader Pretend
This is my life, and this is my time
I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit
It's high time I razed the walls that I've constructed"
REM - World Leader Pretend




It's FRIDAY. So lets just fuckin jam to some good old classics.


 Most of these are LIVE as that is the only way to go......ENJOY and TURN IT UP!!!!

and YES I have ADD so these are all over the map.....

First TWO videos are by the Police and to see the sheer awesomeness of Stewart Copeland drumming is a gift.  And both of these songs are from The Police's best album Zenyatta Mondatta.




The Police - Driven To Tears (Live 1980)


The Police - Man In A Suitcase (Live 1980)

Pixies - Cecilia Ann / Allison (Live 1990)

R.E.M. - Driver 8 / Carnival Of Sorts (Live 1984)
MY TWO FAVORITE R.E.M. songs back to back LIVE and both Buck and Mills rocking the Rickenbackers....YES!!!







Social Distortion - Bad Luck (Live in Orange County)


Drivin' N' Cryin' - Scarred But Smarter (Live)



Lemonheads - Great Big No (Live)



AND I will leave you with this.....having seen it LIVE and R.E.M. being one of my all time favorite bands.....THIS IS GENIUS.....

R.E.M. - World Leader Pretend (Live 1989)

Living Colour - Glamour Boys (1988)

Diamonds In The Music Rough.....90s Version

Ok so here we are.....these are some very obscure to many but familiar to millions.....songs that seem to have gone unnoticed but are phenomenal.....these are the gems hidden.....enjoy


JAMES - Say Something
Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life





OASIS - Acquiesce
There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow

OASIS - Don't Go Away (Leno)
And I wanna be there when you're coming down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground

LIVE - The Beauty Of Gray
The perception that divides you from him 
Is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side




LIVE - Pain Lies On The Riverside
I have forever, always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware that the river's banks are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life


ALICE IN CHAINS - Angry Chair

Candles red I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
Burning on the angry chair









ALICE IN CHAINS - It Ain't Like That

Where I go is when I feel I'm ableHow I fight is why I'm feelin' sore 










RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Darkness Of Greed
The bass and drums and microphones a threat
That's when ya investigate the crimes from the inside
And see that they're responsible for genocide






RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Township Rebellion
Yeah, so you thought you could get with the hardlines
That fill your mind
Thoughts, battles fought
And lessons taught






PEARL JAM - Indifference
i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind

PEARL JAM - Porch (unplugged)
Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Walk beside me
I just need to say...





and BONUS.....

arguably the BEST unplugged ever in MTV history....and yes better than Nirvana, Alice In Chains and R.E.M.

PEARL JAM - State Of Love And Trust
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself


ENJOY
