Now, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. And when it comes down do it, for me? It’s all about gratitude, family, friendship, love and of course, food. So, this week’s Top 5 Music Countdown is dedicated to this joyous holiday. And if your family happens to have a karaoke machine, this awesome list doubles as a Thanksgiving-themed karaoke playlist — so you can belt out and bond with your perfectly dysfunctional family. Fun, right?

5.  “Sweet Potatoe Pie“
-DominoDo you remember this guy? Popular in the 90s – early 2000s. Shamed for sharking Snoop Doggy Dogg’s rapping style.

4.  “November Rain”
-Guns N’ RosesDelightful symphonic rock ballad about the month of November. One of GNR’s longest songs and one of the most expensive music videos to make (at that time).

3.  “Eat It”
-Weird Al YankovicFood is good to eat.

2.  “Umbrella“
-Rihanna (feat. Jay-Z)Umbrellas symbolize protection, friendship and in some cultures, love.

1.  “Livin’ On a Prayer“

Post your top 5 songs of thanks! Go to Heather’s blog — GirlLovesMusic.wordpress.com — or post your list below. She could really use some gratitude… and love.

According to Joe Perry’s twitter, Aerosmith is indeed looking for a new singer. Last week during an interview with Classic Rock Magazine, Steven Tyler revealed that he is going solo. This was immediately after an Aerosmith show at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on November 1.

On Monday, November 9th, Joe wrote this twitter post:
“Aerosmith is definetly NOT breaking up. One of the members is doing his own thing and said so in the press. That’s all I know.
In the meantime Aerosmith is positivly looking for a new singer to work with. You just can’t take 40 years of expiriance and throw it in the bin!
Band is playing hotter than ever and our songs need to be played live! Don’t dispair;”
Eight years have passed since Aerosmith released a studio album of new material. It seems, however, that Perry believes the departure of Tyler may mark a new chapter for the band.

In an interview yesterday (Nov. 9) with Boston radio station WZLX, JP said, “As long as we’re still kicking, it’s not over. We’ll probably get bored and come back.”
In the meantime, The Joe Perry Project will be starting their U.S. tour in support of “Have Guitar Will Travel” tonite in New York City.

The Joe Perry Project upcoming tour dates:

Motion City Soundtrack have revealed the details of their major label debut – My Dinosaur Life – through a post on their web site www.motioncitysoundtrack.com today.  It’s official, the album – produced by Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus and mixed by the legendary Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Kaiser Chiefs) – will be released on January 19th, 2010 on Columbia Records.  In addition, they have released the final track listing for the new album (see below) and revealed the incredible cover art by renowned collectible toy artist Joe Ledbetter – also responsible for the entire album art.

My Dinosaur Life is the exciting next chapter for Motion City Soundtrack.  The band – Justin Pierre, Joshua Cain, Matt Taylor, Tony Thaxton, and Jesse Johnson – first jumped onto the scene with their 2002 debut I Am the Movie (Epitaph).  They followed this up with 2005’s Commit This to Memory (Epitaph).  Also produced by Mark Hoppus, Commit This to Memory debuted at #72 on the Billboard 200 and has gone on to sell more than 300,000 copies.  It garnered raves from Spin, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and Blender among others and found Motion City Soundtrack making their late night TV debut on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.  In 2007, MCS released Even If It Kills Me (Epitaph), a markedly poppier endeavor that found them working with producers Adam Schlesinger, Eli Janney and Ric Ocasek.  This third release debuted at #16 on the Billboard 200 and once again, the critics weighed in favorably – Alternative Press featured them on the cover of their “Most Anticipated” issue, the New York Times claimed “they made an album that sounds like one long sugar rush, and so long as the rush lasts, it sounds pretty great” and SPIN proclaimed the album as “near perfect pop.”  In the Fall of 2008 Motion City Soundtrack further showcased their talents when they released alternative versions of five songs off Even If It Kills Me as an iTunes exclusive.  The culturally acclaimed hit TV series Gossip Girl featured the alternative version of “Fell In Love Without You’” in their season premiere that fall.

Enter 2010 and Motion City Soundtrack are poised to take another giant step forward with the imminent release of My Dinosaur Life – 12 new songs that are lyrically contemplative, poignantly honest, and cleverly and culturally astute.  The music harkens back to early Motion City Soundtrack with is grit and hooks while employing the musicianship and maturity the band has gained over the past seven years.  During these years they’ve accomplished quite a bit – including headlining Warped tour, Bamboozle and the mvtU Campus Invasion Tour to playing Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock Festival and Honda Civic Tour.  They’ve won two mtvU Woodie Awards – in 2005 the Breaking Woodie for Best Emerging Artist and in 2008 the Best Video Woodie for “It Had to Be You.”  Motion City Soundtrack has worked incredibly hard over the past seven years for everything they’ve achieved and they’re excited about the next chapter.

1.      Worker Bee
2.      A Lifeless Ordinary (Need A Little Help)
3.      Her Words Destroyed My Planet

Aggronautix is releasing a limited-edition figure of everyone’s favorite pop punker, Milo of the Decendents (1000 numbered). This replica of the charismatic frontman stands at 7 inches tall, and is made of a lightweight polyresin. Displayed in a a black and blue tri-windowed box, Milo is portrayed in action and comes complete with his trademark nerd glasses and bitchin’ stage stance.

“Wow, I can’t believe it’s happening,” said Milo. “This is like the pinnacle of success for me; it’s up there with the Playboy interview and Vans shoe!”

The figure will be distributed by MVD Entertainment Group – a company specializing in music-related distribution since 1986 – and DKE Toys – a wholesale distributor of urban / vinyl / designer art / objects / toys / figurines.

Milo is the fourth punk personality to be polyresinated by Aggronautix. In May of 2009, the company launched with a highly popular GG Allin “1991″ figure, which was limited to 2000 numbered units. That figure has since sold out, making way for the ultra-limited “Extra Filthy Bloody” Edition

.

The “Extra Filthy Bloody” Edition is a striking representation of GG Allin circa 1991 with added crud, blood, and cuts. The figure, limited to 500 numbered units, stands at 7 inches tall and is made of a lightweight polyresin. Loaded into a full color “splatter” box, here GG is accurately sculpted right down to the tattoos, and copious amounts of blood and filth.

Both figures will sell for $16.95 and are currently available for pre-order on the Aggronautix website www.aggronautix.com.
