I Love Rock’n’Roll – Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
I first heard her track, Bad Reputation, that’s playing on the jukebox on a demo record from the early 80’s. Nice leathers. Hard to believe, she still does concerts. Go to Full Screen and play it loud.
The XX – INTRO – Cover by CITY OF THE SUN
Music, the universal language. This is so much fun. Who is the woman in black and grey with the red lipstick? This cover version is better than the original by Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim in my opinion.
