2 songs I'm not especially keen on, merged into one I DO like. Beatallica are awesome.

they also cover Iron Man, Smells like Teen Spirit, Stravinsky's Apollo, as well as tons of stunning originals. FANTABULOUS BAND!!!


Bad Plus rocks my socks! Although I wasn't really into the bits I heard of the last album, with the vocalist. Maybe I need to give it another chance...
