In watching a few commercials over the weekend, two music background drops jumped out at me.

First of all, I think I heard a Rolling Stones song in a commercial for the first time, ever. It was a cover version of "Sympathy for the Devil" for what I think was a car commercial. (A heavy cover version of the song. Sounded pretty good, actually).

Made me think, "Well, I guess the Stones don't have enough hundreds of millions of dollars individually, so might as well sell portions of their catalog for another few million." 
 

There's been tons of commercials with Stones songs. I think all the publishing rights for everything pre-1972 or so was owned by their manager or some other schuyster.

Haven't posted anything lately but came across a really neat sub-genre called "Dirty Rock".  Kind of heavy blues rock with distorted vocals. 

Spotify has a great Dirty Rock play list.

Specifics bands to listen to:  The Blue Stones, Royal Blood, Highly Suspect, Gary Clark, Jr.....

Enjoy!

Seeing Tedeschi Trucks Band on 7/30 and Gary Clark Jr on 8/12. Frankly, the chance to see 2 bad*** players like Trucks and Clark, Jr in a 2 week window is pretty much all I’m thinking about these days.

Gary’s live albums are insanely good. I’d love to see him.

That's a pretty hot ticket.

I think TTB is coming around Fort Wayne soon.  I would love to see Gary Clark Jr. though.

Happy 68th Birthday to my favorite rocker and one of the great Hoosier fans: John Mellencamp. 

"Scarecrow" came out in the summer before my senior year in high school. As soon as I heard "Lonely Old Night" on the radio, I ran out (well, actually drove out) to the record store to get a cassette (yes, that was just before CDs). I played it so much that it wore out and I had to get another. Love this ditty, "Minutes to Memories." Reminds me a little of my pop, who passed away a little more than two years ago. I can just picture him as the 77-year-old on the bus, saying "Suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can." 

Happy Birthday, John -- and thanks for all the great music!

I'm sure there are better examples of how he was a master of his craft, but I love the beginning of Spirit of Radio ...

When you go to a concert and spend 90% of the time watching the drummer. That was Neil Peart. The music world lost a legend.

RIP Eddie Van Halen (late in posting). Genius musician.

Reading TOS, saw this band I hadn't heard of. Radio Moscow is a really great band- kinda like Hendrix, Cream, Blue Cheer, Grand Funk, etc. all had a love child lol.  Just now really getting a chance to dive into them, but if you like late '60s/early 70s power rock, definitely check these guys out!!!

Curious to know the answer to this question.

What album have you had to go out and buy numerous times because you played it so much it wore out?

Mine was Boston. The debut album for the band Boston. I have lost track how many LPS, 8-tracks, cassettes and CDs I purchased.

John Mellencamp: Scarecrow. ... 

Bought the cassette the day it was released and played it so much it wore out -- so I had to buy another.

Alex Chilton & Chris Bell had that incredible short moment in time. Extraordinary stuff.

One of the reasons I’m reasonably sure there is no God is that if there were, Alex Chilton and Gram Parsons would have been monsterous.
