The Hellacopters
I need to give credit where credit is due. Probably half of all the music I am listening to these days comes from either Ian’s Ipod or his recommendation. Ian has had the good fortune of touring the world with different bands, and being exposed to a lot of different music. He always has something new for me. I got a care package from Ian last week full of swag from this year’s NAMM show. Included was a copy of today’s album of the day.

Band: The Hellacopters
Album: By the Grace of God
Favorite Track: "Rainy Days Revisited". This track not only offers amazing tone (I’m guessing Tele + Vox), but it feels so nostalgic. It gives me the same feeling I get when I listen to “Maggie May” and think: “man, Skip from Dogtown really got screwed!”
Comment: Scandinavians rock. Some of my favorite bands are from Scandinavia (Sigur Ros, Refused, Him, Turbonegro, to name a few.) This album is a great mesh of garage rock and classic rock. They pull it off nicely. Not to mention those vintage tones!

In addition to the album of the week section of your blog, you should also keep us updated on your upcoming new solo project.
I also downloaded Rock & Roll is Dead by the Hellacopters... it's pretty good.
BA, I suppose I could throw in an update of my demo from time to time. Obviously, it is not close to being in the same league as the album of the day, but I will keep you up to date. While I’m at it I could keep you updated on my new diet. I’ve lost 5 lbs. this week, and hate life.
Glad you like the Hellacopters. I think you would really like some of the tracks off of By the Grace of God: “Rainy Days Revisited” (as mentioned above) and “Carry Me Home” is a killer rock track.
Well bro I was unable to locate that album. I checked both legally (itunes) and illegally (allofmp3.com) and neither of my sources had it. What do you want me to do now? Buy it with my own money? Sorry man, I don't have that kind of cash just laying around.
You know I got your back Muss. Check your gmail.
Yes, Ian can introduce you to some awesome bands...but once you introduce him to a band he's never heard of, be careful...years later, he'll claim that he introduced you - ah i love my brother but it sure bugs when he does that! How you doin' man?
