For all you Spacelord mother-frakkers out there who wanna crank up the van stereo and rock the frak out, Fu Manchu’s “Knew It All Along,” featuring the gnarliest riff of 2007:

Or, if you wanna chill, if you can find it, Bedouin Soundclash’s “Waiting for My Ruca,” a smooth cover of the Sublime song. It was on their MySpace page earlier this week, but it’s gone now:

Steps up to microphone taps it twice with my finger
Ladies and gentlemen I now introduce to you a song that has more than once changed my life
Where is my mind? by the Pixies
“The Devil In Our Bones” by Meatdraw
new to me but i’m digging it
After Marion Cotillard winning the Golden Globe, Cesar, BAFTA and Oscar for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in “La Vie En Rose”, the original Edith singing “L’Hymne a l’Amour”:
“Such a Common Bird” by Wendy McNeill

Its a totally catchy song with a really geeky video that I think a lot of you would find funny.
“We’re Comin’ to Kill Ya” by Zachariah and the Lobos Riders
Just cause its silly
“Rocked by Rape” (MP3) from the extensive download page of the Evolution Control Committee, an important and early influence in the mashup/bastard pop genre.
Three variations of the de facto theme song from Real Genius:
Tears For Fears “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”
The Bad Plus “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” (jazz instrumental version, by the rockin’ trio, try to find a live version if you can; if not, go for the studio version, fromt he alum Prog. “Rule” isn’t on their website – http://www.myspace.com/badplus – but you can visit to check out their take on Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man.” The also do a pretty nice version of Bowie’s “Life on Mars.”)
Nas, “Rule” (samples the song to [unintentionally] hilarious effect, but it’s still pretty nice.)
“H for ‘Toy.’”
If you need some good, moody background music, the brand-spankin’-new Nine Inch Nails instrumental double-CD is frickin’ awesome. Nin.com has a free download of the first nine (of 36) tracks, and Amazon.com has the entire thing as non-DRM mp3s for a mere $5.
Everything from simple piano pieces to electronic music to guitar grinds to toothy pop.
