Can anyone help identify the song used on this trailer? It is mid-2000s. Nevermind the sitcom it is used to advertise for now. Cheers.

A Grace Slick classic recorded with The Great Society before she joined Jefferson Airplane.

……..and another from the same album.

I think this song should get more credit. It's about how great musicians get overlooked if they're not good looking.

Have you ever seen the official video for Runaround by Blues Traveller? The actual band are all performing behind a backdrop, while some pretty boys pose and mime to an adoring crowd. Then one of the fans peeks behind the curtain, just like in The Wizard of Oz.

Yes! Blues Traveler were fantastic. That's a blast from the past!

I have to agree with the fans in the video though - John Popper is nobody's visual ideal of the ultimate rock god.

Joan Armatrading's first symphony had its world premiere this evening.

I am very intrigued to find out what it's like.

Yngwie Malmsteen, eat your heart out!

The reviews range from underwhelmed to scathing. Oh dear.

What a talent he was.

All the good ones died too young. Lucky Dube, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown, Joe Strummer....

Cracking tune, absolutely brilliant and hard to not get a bit maudlin over that. I’ve spent more than one night, listening to this, musing over things while staring into a glass of whiskey. 
Superb.

In the taxi this morning going to work and the driver is playing 'Insane in the Brain' by Cyprus Hill. My God! I haven't heard that in years! Cue massive nostalgia trip! 

[Leeds Wire]

Got tickets to see this lot at Leeds Brudenell. Not often you really get into a band that you saw as an unheard support act.  

edit - It's Seb Lowe by the way.
