Well, I'm not the best dancer, but I do not Shake so bad :)
"Shaking So Bad" is a tune by the Norweigan hard rock band GLUECIFER, a band that was formed in 1994, they produced several underground releases during their first years of existence and soon claimed to be "Kings Of Rock".
The tune is taken from the fifth and last album "Automatic Thrill"
In 2017 Gluecifer reunited for several festival shows in 2018 and reunion shows in their hometown Oslo, maybe some new material will come.
CAESARS is a Swedish indie rock band. In their native Sweden, the band was originally known as CAESARS PALACE, a name which was changed to avoid conflicting with the name of the Las Vegas hotel. In the rest of Scandinavia, they are known as TWELVE CAESARS. Elsewhere they go by the name CAESARS. Band member Joakim Åhlund is also a founding member of the TEDDYBEARS.
After CAESARS released their fifth studio album "Strawberry Weed" they decided to put the band on hold until further notice. In December 2017 CAESARS played a surprise reunion gig in Stockholm, their first since 2009. In May 2018 the band was announced as part of the lineup of this year's Popaganda Festival were I spent my weekend. And CAESARS ended the evening on stage 2 with a really great show. Other band that played on Popaganda on Friday was Jens Lekman, PALE HONEY, Sarah Klang, Hanna Järver, LITTLE DRAGON, SLOWDIVE, FRANZ FERDINAND and FIRST AID KIT.

Today's tune "Jerk It Out" is a song that was released in April 2003 as the lead single from their album "Love for the Streets"; it is also featured on the follow-up "Paper Tigers" in remixed form. The song's appearance on charts was helped by prolific use in mid-2000s media, including commercials for the iPod Shuffle, Mobiltel, Nivea, Coca-Cola (in South Africa and Indonesia) as well as a 2009 Renault Mégane spot. Furthermore, it was used in the video games Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova (arcade and PlayStation 2 versions), FIFA Football 2004, Just Dance, Rock Band 3 (as downloadable content), Samba de Amigo (downloadable content for the Wii version), SSX 3, and LMA Manager.
The song was part of the soundtrack of many films, including The Benchwarmers, Captivity, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Fun with Dick and Jane and Yours, Mine and Ours. It featured in trailers for Knight and Day, The Pink Panther and Garfield Gets Real, while the remix of the song was used in the trailer for Clerks II.
The song was used in the car sketch in the Eddsworld episode "Random Bits".
The song was included in the TV series Dawson's Creek, the HBO series Entourage, NCIS, the British series Teachers, and the dancing game Just Dance.
In 2017, it was sampled by rapper Tiggs Da Author in his song "Work It Out".
Monday, New Week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"
"Ond Saga" is a brand new album by the reunited Swedish punk rock band KSMB.
KSMB (Kurt-Sunes med Berit) was a Swedish punk rock band from 1977 to 1982. The young band members grew up and lived in the suburb Skärholmen outside Stockholm.
"Ond Saga" is undoubtedly one of Sweden's most important punk band returns, a band that have always been hated by journalists and loved by their fans.
After a highly acclaimed performance before 20,000 fans at the cheerful Bråvalla festival back in 2015, they notice that they have been missing. So in February 24 they release "Ond Saga" on Wild Kingdom Records.
"Ond Saga" is an an angry, energetic punk album that sounds exactly as it should, it's created by middle-aged men, who are neither ashamed of their age or try to hide it.
Sum: Even a old punker should dig this.
Tenth edition of KSMB embarks on an eight-date tour, see the dates below. Support on the tour is SIXTEN DISABLED, SIR REG and MATRIARCHY.
The tenth edition of KSMB consists of:
Gus Van Horn, Drums,
Sulo Karlsson, guitar,
Poppe Schubert, bass,
Mats Larson, guitar,
Michael Alonzo, vocals,
Steppan Guiance, vocals.

GREEN CARNATION is new a new acquaintance, a band that was formed as early as in 1990, but after Terje "Tchort" Schei joined EMEPEROR for the "Darkside Eclipse" album shortly after, the band was put on hold until the debut album, "A Journey To The End Of The Night" was released in 2000. "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" followed in 2001, before the band took a change in direction, with "A Blessing In Disguise" (2003) and "The Quiet Offspring" (2005) before the band went all-acoustic with "Acoustic Verses" (2006). GREEN CARNATION established their cult status among progrock and avantgarde metal fans all over the world in the early 2000s with their 60-minute masterpiece Light of Day, Day of Darkness and have been critically acclaimed throughout their career for their artistic creativity and astonishing musical concepts.
That's about it, no more records, but the future looks bright.
On August 12, 2016, it was announced that EMEPEROR would be reunite again in 2017 for a special set of performances to celebrate their 20th anniversary second studio album "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk". So I guess more will come (:

GREEN CARNATION will be available for festivals and special shows in the foreseeing future.

FAITH NO MORE proves that sex, drugs and rock and roll are for the retirements as much as for the kids in the hilarious, trippy clip for "Sunny Side Up," off the latest album, "Sol Invictus".
FAITH NO MORE released the re-united "Sol Invictus" in May, where they sounded as dangerous and unstable as ever on a album. The record marked the band's first since 1997's "Album of the Year" and followed a 15-year hiatus, as well as several years on the reunion-tour circuit.

New week again, where did the last go?? Enough about that, we jump right into the new and present this week's album, although this one is quite new.
Grunge pioneers Soundgarden surprised a few people when they decided to get back together, but probably surprised many more when they announced they'd be getting off the festival circuit to write and record again. I saw them live at Sweden Rock Festival this summer, they was very good live and the announced about that they were recording a new album, actually felt pretty good back then. Even if the singer Chris Cornell had insisted that reuniting the 90s grunge kings would risk "tarnishing their legacy".
Vinyl Version!!!
However, here they are with their first new album since 1996, "King Animal" sounds surprisingly good, the sound is very, i mean very good, just listen to the tight drums and the anvil-heavy riffs, crunching collisions of punk and hard rock, and psychedelic explorations. My Scepticism for this was pretty high, but the first tunes just waved it off, pretty cool. This album is fresh in all means, it's no "Superunknown" or "Badmotorfinger" but it's highly enjoyable stuff.
Todays tune "Been Away Too Long" is the storming opener of the album with blistering riffs with classic rock and powerfully swing!
