I’m a lovefool for rock in all its beautiful shapes and sizes. Here’s a slow ride through some of my favorites. No appologies.

Most people know Juliette Lewis for her career as an actress and all around celebrity, but did you know she can sing? Her newest album Terra Incognita features twelve rockin’ tracks that blend classic rock and punk that sounds like a combination of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, PJ Harvey, and Joan Jett. Check out a musical sampler below. Download the album here.

Whilst travelling around the diverse musical landscapes of the world, it’s nice to know that Classic Rock will always be there, like a guiding star in the night sky, to bring a healthy dose of what rock’n'roll is all about. Enjoy!

The other day, we went to Mars, the planet and the God of War. Today, let’s pay a visit to Venus, the Goddess of Love and the oh-so-elegant celestial body. Enjoy!

Get ready to raise a rawkus, because here’s a Modern-Rock Dance-Party-Playlist for you. Get down with your bad self to Iggy Pop, T.Rex, Joan Jett, and more.

LA- based rockers Crash Kings have been tearing up audiences across the nation with their brand of piano-driven, heavy bass rock. We asked them to share some of their musical influences and favorites, and they came back with this awesome and eclectic mix of songs. Enjoy!

With Joe Satriani going after Coldplay in court over a copyright infringement dispute, we got to thinking, “who else has been accused of musical theft?”    Have a listen to the following songs, and decide for yourself who’s in the right.  Plaintiffs first,  Defendents second.   Which song is better? With whom would you side?

Dave Matthews is back with a new single, “Funny The Way It Is,” a new album, a summer tour, and a signature, sensitive voice that has become part of the American music landscape. We gathered a few of his influences (Dylan, Allman Bros), and mixed in some of his best collaborations (Jurassic 5, Soulive, Bela Fleck) and kindred sonic spirits (Jack Johnson, Ray LaMontagne and John Mayer).

When it rains it pours. So stay tuned for some stellar new releases this month from top notch rappers (Fat Joe, Rick Ross, & Jadakiss), emerging artists (Bat For Lashes, Doves, The Blue Van), two old hounds (Dylan and Young) and a handful of bands you’re definitely going to want to know about. Enjoy!

Boys love to write about girls—the essence of most great tunes. But some boys like to be specific about their ladies. From Delilah, Alison and Beth, to Janie, Angie and of course, Roxanne. Here’s a taste of some of the best tunes written about a (specific) girl.
