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

Today’s Tunage: Come On
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"

This song - which most people know from its inclusion in a Kia car commercial during the 2010 Super Bowl - seems fitting today. So here's The Heavy with "How You Like Me Now?" off of their second album The House That Dirt Built ... As always our jukebox is your jukebox. If you’ve got a song you

Sure, it's Tuesday ... but so what. And sure, we don't usually play poppy stuff like this on any day of the week ... but today we're making an exception. In honor of Katy Perry's big win at the American Music Awards this week, here's the absolutely infectious "Last Friday Night" off of her latest

Here's Bob Mould and Sugar - one of our favorite alt-rock bands of the early 1990s. This is "Gee Angel," off the band's 1994 release File Under Easy Listening. As always 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

We've always loved MGMT ... This song, "Time to Pretend," is the debut single off of the band's first major label album, Oracular Spectacular ... although it previously appeared on a self-titled EP. Formed by Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden while the two were freshmen at Wesleyan University,

This has always been one of our favorite Radiohead songs ... and it's definitely one of the band's cooler videos (a nifty CGI effort from director Alex Rutterford). Released in 2003 off of the band's Hail to the Thief album, the song is called "Go To Sleep." As always our jukebox is your jukebox.

Here's Sacramento, California-based alt-rockers Cake with their 1997 single "The Distance," the second track off of the band's second album Fashion Nugget. This is just one of those jarringly unique songs that people tend to associate with a particular time and place in their lives ... For the

The other day we received a particularly colorful piece of hate mail from a reader in Walhalla, S.C. alerting us to the fact that an "Angel of Southern Justice" were coming for us. We're not sure why, but getting that letter made us think of this song from Southern Rock Gods Lynyrd Skynyrd ... (yes,

Here's another song we lifted from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic video game soundtrack ... It's called "Sing Sing" by Canadian pop punk rockers Marianas Trench, and it's off of their second studio album Masterpiece Theatre. The band's new album, Ever After, will be released next month. As always our
