Greenskeepers - Lotion
So it wasn't until I looked this song up on YouTube that I realized that this song was inspired by Silence of the Lambs. The chorus are a seen from the movie. I hadn't seen the movie in so long that I never made that connection. There is that serial killer type feel to the song. Before coming to this realization, I couldn't really figure out exactly what the hell was going with the tune. I think it'll find its way into my rotation more often.
Kelly Clarkson - Don't Let Me Stop You; Cry
There's nothing really anything wrong or repulsive about "Don't Let Me Stop You," but I also don't find anything spectacular about it. I do like it more than "Cry" because it has more pep. Both songs have that breakup song feel to them that sort of I get tired of with female artists. I suppose male artists have the same amount of breakup songs, but I just notice them with females. Unless it's "You Oughta Know," I just usually don't stay real interested.
The Raconteurs – You Don't Understand Me; Hold up
I think this is the second collection that Snake has provided with the Raconteurs on it. In fact, he may have burned a whole CD of them at some point. I love the piano in "You Don't Understand Me." That song is another one that reminds of some other band or song that I can't quite place who. Great guitar to start "Hold Up." It's a completely different sound from the first selection. This is quick paced and hard hitting. I like both these songs, and don't think I can say that I like one more than another. I think it would just depend on my mood at certain time.
Wolfmother - Caroline; In The Castle
"Caroline" is an old-fashioned rock ballad that would have thrived in the 80s hair band days. Since I have a soft spot in my heart for that sound, this caught my ear right away. Love it. "In the Castle" is closer to a classic jam hard rock song and even has that medieval, fantasy story backdrop that harkens back to bands like Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, and Jethro Tull. You can hear a little bit of all of them here.
Ace Frehley - Ozone
If this is indicative of Frehley's talent than he should probably have had more control over Kiss. You can hear the regular Kiss formula of song writing in there, but there seems to be a little more edge, a little more substance than some of the outlandish stuff Kiss would throw out there sometimes.

Lotion's groove always gets stuck in my head and it makes me feel guilty for feeling so good about such a bad song. :) The Raconteurs were a great super group. I think they were more diverse in their sound than the Dead Weather but weren;t near as edgy. Ace Frehley's album is flat out awesome. Maybe if the dude would have taken things a little more seriously all the time, people would put him in the class with the true greats because he really was.
