  The Beach Boys new album is out now and if the very fact doesn’t blow your mind, try listening to the single.

Plus, Randy Newman writes the music for Toy Story... and that's badass. 2. Tom Waits - Gin Soaked Boy I think that this is one of the best guitar/drums/vocals songs I've ever heard, the simplicity of the beat and the parts mixed with the best guitar tone... Read More
