Do not mind anything that anyone tells you about modern rock and what is not modern rock. It just starts with late 1970s punk (some thinks INXS, The Cure, Morrissey, Depeche Mode, and Erasure as modern rock artists during the 1980s), and modern rock is all about to leave classic rock on your back... I'm not sure that these are all modern rock. Anyway, these albums are damn fucking great!

Kiss - Goin' Blind (live)

After watching a long western The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, it was a wonderful way to train my ears to listen to the sounds from English singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock. What i listened wasnt my favorite Hitchcock record "I Often Dream of Trains", it was the new rarities album which is named Shadow Cat (2008). This album aint much different from any previous albums of him, it's quite slow and all of the songs drive back to you memories, dreams or some place else that is not here. Shadow Cat needs more spin to understand magic of music, like your child which needs attention to grow up. So, you watch how melodies growing on your ears. Emotional and noteworthy tune Statue With A Walkman, great second track Love Affair, moreover an amazing Hendrix cover The Wind Cries Mary, all of these polish his singer/songwriter and show unique talent of the long time musician.
You can order Shadow Cat.

Robyn Hitchcock - Love Affair

Rating: 9/10
Smile clearly proves that rock n' roll never dies in any language or in any form of direction of this music. For me, Boris is also one of the most amazing, shoking and fuc*ing rock band in these days.

Boris - BUZZ-IN

Rating: 8/10
Including wide friends, collaborators like Lullatone, Brightest Feathers (aka half of Saxon Shore),
Logreybeam, Owen Vallis, Repose, Wake, DJ Poignant, Kai Kurosawa, Eli Walks, and Andreas Bjorck, all previous Murmurs (2006) songs were remixed. Her baby-like, sweet voice gets your whole body feels relaxed. It's imposible to stand out against to these songs, to this voice. All fine!

Caroline - Where's My Love (Magical Mix) [MM pick!]
Caroline - All I Need (Owen Vallis)

From Murmurs:
Caroline - Sunrise
Caroline - Where's My Love

For a this kind of rock songs collection, there aren't any opening songs better than Pete Shelley's well-known masterpiece "Ever Fallen in Love?". Its hooky melodies, speed and emotional choruses make it one of the most original classic rock songs ever written. Then, "Solid Gold Easy Action" plays with its inventive roots for the glam rock genre of music. Following that you'll hear a good few classic rock tunes from Fleedwood mac to Bob Dylan... All the song had been picked by me, and the most interesting one surely becomes the closing song, Summer Kisses Winter Tears.

Vocalist Matthew Caws talks about Lucky:

“I tend to be pretty hopeful about things further in the future, but full of anxiety about the next eight hours,” jokes Caws. “Unlike my friend John Flansburgh from They Might Be Giants, who says he's manic depressive without the depression, I think I'm manic depressive without the mania. Yet I'm ready to be cheerful at the drop of a reason. I’m always looking for rapture in music.”
