Dinosaur Jr. — Start Choppin’
I think this song was played once or twice at the old basement but not this version. Fun to see a young J Mascus, plus I love the mod get-ups the band is wearing. Don’t see anyone plugging their ears so J and the crew must have the amps turned down a bit.
That’s it. Thanks for listening and watching Freealonzo’s Rock Week. Are You Not Entertained?

From Where You Been
Soundgarden — Jesus Christ Pose
One of my favorite rock songs. Ever. Back when Chris Cornell still played guitar.

From Badmotorfinger
Redd Kross — Stay Away From Downtown
From one of the better rock albums of 2012. These guys have been banging it since the early 80’s as snot nosed punks. Thirty years hasn’t affected their ability to rock out however!

From Researching the Blues.
The Wedding Present — Dalliance
O.k., this one may be a little whiny which is the antithesis of rock week, but I love how it builds up at the end, basically matching the singer’s anger. So it’s angry, not whiny.

From Seamonsters.
Built to Spill — Stop The Show
One of the greatest live acts out there. Believe me with three guitarists, BTS has only one setting: Rock!
From Perfect From Now On
Guided By Voices — Expecting Brainchild
I know everyone was expecting a week of GBV, who knows maybe next time. But of course I have to include some Guided By Voices. Sure their most beloved albums are considered lo-fi classics, but Pollard and Co. can turn up the guitars when they needed to.

From Vampire on Titus.
Mekons — Memphis, Egypt
So after a week of star fu-- er I mean star grabbing, welcome to Freealonzo’s Rock Week! This week will feature my favorite rock bands rocking out to rock music at its bone-jarring rockingest. No lofi-emo-jazz-acoustic-goth-folk-country-pop-soul music for 7 whole days. Can you handle it? I think you can, in fact I know you can. So get ready to rock because these songs go to 11!!!!!
I think it’s mandatory to start off Freeaolonzo's Rock Week with this song from the Mekons.

Finally, the cops have come to lock us up and throw away the key. It's free's week comin' at y'all next. I expect at least one track from GBV.
