The songs? "Where Is The Future" and "Hard On For War". Nice to see the chaps who brought us "Touch Me I'm Sick" (covered here by Sonic Youth) are still rocking.

Listening to Dinosaur Jr. really brings me back to those care-free days of the early 90s. Now, 3hive has posted a true classic of indie rock "Freak Scene". For more Dino Jr. Fun check out free so free dot net.
Earlier this year, Karen O and Squeak E Clean released "Hello Tomorrow" which was used in an Adidas ad directed by Spike Jonze. Well, I have finally seen the ad, and it is truly surreal.
Midi Database has got free Metallica tunes. While your first reaction may be "Cool, that rocks," just wait until you hear them. These songs have been butchered by midi and most certainly do not rock. They ARE really funny.
Architecture In Helsinki, the Australian twee pop collective, have a lovely flash based website (Music will play). At their website you can and should stream their awesomely absurd video for "Do The Whirlwind".

Check out... "Death Is The Answer" and "Evil Is" here.
