You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get what you need.

Just scroll down a bit. It's a gas, gas, gas.

What a groove! For an ancient Stones fan, the gift of the Magi.

The complete but never-released track "Get Yourself Together" could be played with equal effect today by a competent 21st century band like The National with no loss of irony.

From the period when they really were the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World.

Nice catch.

your favorite band doesn't suck quite as much as most of the bands featured in rock posts.

Exile Stones - outtakes from the greatest rock and roll album ever recorded.
Also thanks for the Big O.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm really annoyed that I have to manually tag these mp3 files. I'd put them all back up, tagged, and as one file, if someone provided a host.
