Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick
Listen to Cheap Trick's self titled debut in full on Grooveshark.
If you need a reason to hear this damn fine pop record, check out Stephen Thomas Erlewine's album review at Allmusic.com.
You may already be hooked in from Friday's jukebox pick, "Oh Candy", or from your own memories of listening to this now-classic album. Either way, pull up a seat and press play. Enjoy.

Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore
Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore.
Now here is an artist who seems to get it.
Phil Collins, much like Bryan Ferry, seems to understand what fans are looking for on YouTube (namely, their favorite artist's music on demand and in high quality) and how easy it is to give them what they want.
When you search for a song or an original music video on YouTube these days, much of the time you're in for disappointment. The video is often quickly yanked by some mega-label or an artists' rep.
If you do find an officially sanctioned song or video clip, more often than not the video's embedding feature will be disabled, making it damn near impossible to share.
So it's a pleasant surprise when you go looking for a high quality video and find an embeddable clip from the artist's own YouTube page. Well done, Phil and Bryan. Let's hope more artists follow your lead, for the fans' sake, and their own.

Hat tip to my friends Luke, Andy Zax, and Mike Newman for conspiring (unwittingly) to bring this to my attention.

Soundgarden - Into the Void (Sealth)
Soundgarden - Into the Void (Sealth).
Wake and bake, kids. It's your old friends, Soundgarden covering Black Sabbath's classic "Into the Void", from 1971's Master of Reality LP.
This SG cover originally appeared on a CD single for "Jesus Christ Pose", so it's nice to get a YouTube clip that reflects that with the cover art.
Soundgarden's take on Void has a twist: while staying musically faithful to the Sabbath original, Soundgarden uses the (alleged) words of Chief Sealth (or more correctly, Chief Si'hal, for whom Seattle was named) for lyrical styling.
This was a stroke of brilliance, as bassist Ben Shepard saw that the words attributed to Chief Sealth fit the meter of this song, though the environmental plea credited to him was, in fact, a total fabrication.
You can learn more about Chief Sealth's actual speech or, lack thereof, here.
