Perhaps it’s because I’m fortysomething, and have found things in my life that yank on my emotions harder than music does – kids, relationships, divorce, stress – but it’s rare that new music jumps out and grabs me in my liver and says “Dance, MoFo!”<\/p>\n

Just thought I’d say – I had one of those moments the other day. The band is “Jet”, and they had a hit about six years ago with “Do You Wanna Be My Girl”, which was a fun little rock and roll shuffle but not something to go to war over, capisce<\/em>?<\/p>\n

This song, “Goodbye Hollywood”, is totally different.\u00a0 It totally rocks my world.<\/p>\n

And if the promise of a great rock ‘n roll song isn’t enough to make you listen, the fact that I couldn’t find a video version, so you’ll have to use this version featuring Kate Beckinsale writhing about the place as a substitute.<\/p>\n

Any objections?<\/p>\n
