The Flashcubes ft. Steve Conte: Gudbuy T'Jane

Power pop veterans The Flashcubes pay tribute to Slade, the seminal English glam rock band. For their take Gudbuy T'Jane they put in a call to former New York Dolls guitarist Steve Conte, who was happy to lend a hand. They beefed up the drum sound for this one. There is only one Noddy Holder, but they did a fine job with the vocals. A timeless classic revived for rockers of all ages.

Xmas without Sufjan Steven: Slade

The whole music blogging world is writing about the Sufjan Stevens Xmas box thingy. Well, that's cool. But let's not forget that there are a whole lot of better songs out there. It's time for Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade, one of the best glam rock bands ever. A bunch of their remastered and expanded albums should be in a stock at any good record store.
