“I see an ancient rhythm
In a man’s genetic code
Gonna keep on rock and rollin
Till my genes explode……”

I put this page together inspired by my old bud Matthew West. Having impeccable taste, from time to time he’ll send me some brilliant ( and usually obscure ) piece of music, via Youtube or somesuch. With the descendence of Facebook into corporate hypnosis, here’s all of the wonderful clips I ( and Matt, and hey it’s your turn next! ) would like to share. And dig it, Rock’n’Roll Love letter isn’t just a song, it’s a declaration of intent!

The Bay City Rollers? You bet!

Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones??? Ain’t nothing wrong with that! Cept it’s never been released!!!

The guvner’s of English Powerpop! Get me outta your Starry eyes……

And the first of many for Jed, but for Kat Young too, an American gurl…..

My favourite band, my favourite superhero too! Rock out!!!

Another one from Matt, beloved by Barn and me, Rockin’ Krautrock……

What a great cover! The Plantronics……

What d’ya mean, you never heard of the Vietcong Pornsurfers? Let’s Rock!

Another one from Matt, a funky little tune from Peter, Bijorn and John

And again Sir Matt, some groovy Gallic Psychedelia……

Le Matt sent me this a while back, dig the Go Go dancers! Stereolab with French Disko……

A mash up of “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies/”I’m waiting for the man” by the Velvet Underground, with a touch of “The Gift”, not ‘arf!

So melancholic, and very psychedelic too, Noel Harrison’s son Rex……

Bogus Barry Manilow anyone? Neo 70’s Beach Boys too, Rex Smith……

A fave with the ‘Clocks……naughty Stranglers!

For Emily(where ever she may roam)Garbage’s finest moment……?

The Monomen, with great memories of  Gothenburg 1991……

With an excerpt from “Hawaii 5-o”, as blagged by the Rats, here’s the wonderful Radio Birdman……

Anybody who’s got the balls to call themselves the New Christs have got to be good, especially with a Who cover……

This one’s for Tom Campbell, George Jones, Yabba dabba do!

It’s Christmas……all that glitter……gotta be Glam rock! Here’s Bowie in his prime Ziggy era, from TOTP 1973……

Here’s a beautiful song, Elvis did a fabulous cover of it, but here’s the original, Mr Jimmie Rodgers “It’s over”……

A shite vid, but what a Rockin’ tune, it’s the Black Keys “Lonely Boy”.

Many may mangle me for this, but I love it, it totally Rocks! LA Guns……I wanna be your man.

Probably my favourite song ever, here’s the alternative version from IATC deluxe edition, fabulous……

And whilst we’re Powerpoppin’……

And whoa, does this rock!

Hurr!
