This is where I post awesome songs I think are awesome roughly once a day and then you listen and stare in awe at my awesome choices.

Dinosaur Jr. "Just Like Heaven"

Okay this is easily the coolest music video ever and the best Cure cover I've ever heard. I mean that crazy guitar soloing throughout the song is just beautiful as is the scream kicking off the chorus.

The amount of layers to it are brilliant.

Cheesy chroma key + puppets, a winning combination everytime.

I agree that guitar solo that runs through out is pretty rad... not a fan of the song, but I enjoyed watching the video.

Tom Waits "I Don't Wanna Grow Up"

Fuck Nirvana, this is how distortion should've been used in the early 90s (on a ukulele.)

Damn straight! These are great choices so far.

Modest Mouse "Gravity Rides Everything"

This was the song my friend sent me to get me into Modest Mouse. Swell.
