Happy Belated 10th Birthday to one of my favorite albums of all-time. "Rated R" turned 10 this month. It features Mark Lanegan, Rob Halford, Barett Martin from Screaming Trees, Nick Oliveri, and of course Josh Homme.

.
















This is the album that turned me onto Queens of the Stone Age back in 2001 and I haven't been the same since. I "may" have a slight obessesion with anything Josh Homme touches now.

I've written about this album in the past, so go read my review of the Top 20 Albums of the Decade if you're still interested.

It's worth downloading if you haven't ever heard it.  Whether you steal it or buy it.  Just get it.

The Black Keys - Live on the Interface

The Black Keys played 4 songs and did an interview with AOL to promote their new album.  Check out "Next Girl" here or be a loser forever.  It's really your choice...

KCRW Streaming The New Delta Spirit Album

"History From Below" comes out next Tuesday but you can preview the new album by clicking on the link below.  I became a huge fan of these guys about 2 years ago after seeing them open for Dr. Dog. If you're a fan of indie rock, you'll probably love them too.  I'm really digging the new album, it's been a long time coming.
