Look Back In Anger: Cali based Rock-n-Rollers, The Standells, were early pioneers of transitioning modern Pop from the Doo Wop sound to a more Beatles/Stones-esque guitar based tone. Dirty Water was a major hit that encapsulates The Standells defining, laid back, form of Garage Rock. Sounding a bit like a love-in between Brian Jones and The Black Lips, this song really kicks!

Black Lips - Boys In The Woods
Black Lips first single in 3 years is a dirty backwoods, blues romp. Boys In The Woods is a sort of building sludge fest. It opens with a Stones riff (circa 64) and ends with a strained choir of Southern-fried ghosts, not unlike early TV On The Radio. Its a hemi of uh a jam and one that keeps us hopeful their upcoming LP will be a serious bullet to the skull. Check it:
