Sometimes I fall for something that isn't quite what folk who know expect of me. Such was the case back in Y2K when the heavy rotation of some promo videos on MTV2 expanded my horizons. (I had only just got a satellite dish installed and was amazed that there was a music video channel that played non-chart fodder). There was also a great wee 45 minute show on Sunday nights that was presented by a little-known fella from New Zealand by the name of Zane Lowe......Anyways, I ended picking up what seems now to be a hard-to-get-hold-of CD by Queens Of The Stone Age. It came, as the image indicates, with a bonus disc of 5 songs plus a CD-ROM video.
If the truth be told, it's not an album I play all that often nowadays, but I still think the two singles are fantastic, and I've also a very soft spot for one of the tracks on the bonus disc for the fact that it plays nicely on an old hippy hit by Carly Simon away back when I was just a child. And here they are:-
mp3 : Queens Of The Stone Age - Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret
mp3 : Queens Of The Stone Age - Feel Good Hit Of The Summer
mp3 : Queens Of The Stone Age - You're So Vague
More songs tomorrow from another CD that I'm led to believe is hard-to-get-hold-of.
Happy Listening.

The Lost Art is a great track - have you checked out Eagles of Death Metal - all albums are sizzling - Peace, Love, Death Metal or last year's Heart On are good starting points
Great album. Got inot this same as you, loved it for ages. Much better than the ones which followed it.
Like you, I loved the two singles... but the rest of the album seemed a bit too plood-rock for me.
Sorry, never saw the attraction. Yuk!
I got this one first two. I love the first three QOTSA. The others are shelf fillers.
