Here's former Dire Straits front man Mark Knopfler with "Boom, Like That" off of Shangri-La - his fourth studio album. Reflective of the British songwriter's obsession with Americana, the song is based on passages from Grinding It Out - the autobiography of the late Ray Kroc, whose drive and guile

Today’s Tunage: Once Upon A Time
We're mostly into alt-rock, classic rock, grunge rock, industrial and rap around here, but occasionally we stumble into some gems from other genres - like this little blast from the past. Not only is "Your Wildest Dreams" one of our all-time favorite eighties songs ... it's one of our all-time favorite

We've always loved us some Snow Patrol ... Here's the Northern Irish alt rockers latest single - "In The End" - released last week. Enjoy, and remember as always that our jukebox is your jukebox. If you’ve got a song you want to hear, email us and we’ll be sure to get it plugged into the rotation.

Sometimes our "song of the day" has everything to do with a story we've posted ... other times it's just a totally random selection. Today? Our selection is all about rats ... these rats in particular. Anyway, as always our jukebox is your jukebox. If you’ve got a song you want to hear, email

If you scroll through our ever-lengthening "today's tuneage" list, you'll discover we like The Killers - but not always the Killers songs that "everybody else likes." Here's another example ... "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine," the lead track off of the band's breakthrough Hot Fuss album. Anyway,

We'll probably lose a few man points for choosing this song, but whatever ... When your founding editor is hung like a porn star, you've always got a few man points to spare. Anyway, now that we've addressed that ... the first time we heard this version of the Cyndi Lauper classic "Girls Just Wanna

We try to keep it real around here ... as in posting music that we really listen to. Typically, that's indie rock and classic rock with a little rap thrown in (no country). Of course ever since we saw those hamsters rocking out in that Kia Soul commercial ... we've had this song stuck in our heads. The

Every note (and drum beat) of the Foo Fighters self-titled 1995 debut album was played by Dave Grohl. Well ... every note except for one of the guitar parts on this song, which was played by Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli. Cool trivia? Probably not ... unless of course you happen to be a Whig-head

Jupiter One used to be our favorite band that no one had ever heard of, but we can't really say that any longer about Brooklyn-based alt-rock band. They've taken off ... and songs like "Come On" (off of their 2009 album Sunshower) are why. Oh well ... we can always say we knew them when, right? As

We first got turned onto this song playing Madden '08 ... (damn has it been that long?) ... but it seemed sort of appropriate today. Sort of like The Heavy was appropriate the other day when we were asking certain peeps "how they like (us) now?" Anyway, this is The Hives with "Tick Tick Boom." As

Lots of aspiring rock stars fancied themselves as Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain or Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder during the early 1990s. Not us ... We were always wanted to be Greg Dulli - who infused the alt-grunge sound with some real soul. Here's Dulli's former band The Afghan Whigs performing "66"
