Alice in Chains - Over Now

Well this is my last post here at b5, so this is an utterly fitting song.
“Over Now” is the last track from Alice in Chains last studio album, which was their self-titled 1995 release. The track also appears on the band’s Unplugged performance and the compilation The Essential Alice in Chains.
Despite “Over Now” never being […]

Pearl Jam - The Real Me

I seriously hope that no one missed Pearl Jam’s performance at the Vh1 Rocks Honor: The Who.
While all the performers were good, Pearl Jam, as usual, stole the show. Heck, they even outperformed their idols The Who on that night.
Pearl Jam once again proves that their the best around with their rendition of “The […]

Redemption Song

I know this is a 90’s related blog, we’ll get to why this song ties into the 90’s in a moment, but this is one of my favorite Bob Marley tunes. Yes, it’s a bit played out, but none the less a beautiful piece of music.
And, for some reason, I’ve been listening to “Redemption Song” […]

Audioslave - Be Yourself

It’s funny that when you’re not feeling down you want to listen to some mood music. And, for me at least, Chris Cornell is a one of the masters at self-loathing music. So naturally I’ve been listening to a lot of his stuff lately.
However, I’m not feeling as bad now, so the music’s been getting […]

Green Day - American Idiot

This song is dedicated to Lindsay Lohan, since it’s her birthday and all.
Not to mention that it was on this day in 1776 that the Continental Congress declared independence from Great Britain, however, the Declaration of Independence wasn’t adopted until July 4. I already knew that little fun fact, seriously. So, just make your 4th […]

Pearl Jam - All Night

I was trying real hard to avoid listening to any Pearl Jam before I see them this week, and next, but I just can’t help myself.
“All Night” has been getting a lot play recently, mainly because it’s a cool tune, and the fact that the band have been playing at some shows on their current […]

Garbage - #1 Crush

This is an amazingly obsessive, yet hypnotic track from Garbage. Which is pretty obvious, but here’s confirmation from front woman Shirley Manson when talking about the song:“All real love is a form of obsession, if you love someone more than anything else, that degree of exclusivity requires an abnormal amount of passion and care. And […]

Nirvana - Sappy

One of my favorite Nirvana songs, which I’ve been playing a lot. For me, it’s a great song to explain those times when you just feel trapped in life. Whether it’s because of a relationship, work, or just life in general. It helps me feel less overwhelmed. Although, I think it’s rather obvious that this […]

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug

“The Perfect Drug” has been on my mind for some time now. But, since I played it on Rock Band over the weekend I just can’t get it out of my head now.
The track was written for the 1997 David Lynch flick Lost Highway, which starred Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette. “The Perfect Drug”, […]

Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun

As I watched Into The Wild last night, I was once again reminded of the beautiful soundtrack by one Eddie Vedder.
I actually put aside the soundtrack to Into The Wild for some time, but now I’m going back to it full blast.
It’s perfect timing. As the weather warms up, the sun beating down on the […]
