The United Kingdom’s infamous music magazine, NME (New Music Express), is celebrating its 60th anniversary and part of the revelry includes features on some of the top musicians of each decade.

Recently, the publication released their 100 Best Tracks Of The Nineties list. Cheeky erotic Britpoppers, Pulp, made it to the top of the pile with “Common People.”

While most of the top twenty artists seem pretty comprehensive to the British ’90s music scene, the list lacks the effervescent pop-punk of the Americas and just about any Oasis song or Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” could have replaced McAlmont and Butler’s “Yes” or Ash’s “Girl From Mars.”

And “Stay Together” as the most-highly rated Suede song? We suppose they weren’t reading the distraught diaries of teenage girl Britpop lovers from the ’90s to make that choice. Lyrics from “So Young” or “The Drowners” are probably etched across many a composition book.

What does NME consider the best songs of the ’90s?

NOFX Release New Single, “My Stepdad’s A Cop And My Stepmom’s A Domme”

California punk-rock pioneers, NOFX, have eleven studio albums under their studded belts but fans are clamoring for more from the irreverent, bawdy four-piece that has never been signed to a major label in the almost three decades of their existence.

Yesterday, the band released a new song titled “My Stepdad’s A Cop and My Stepmom’s A Domme.” The premise of the song is how an allegedly moral, upstanding cop’s career is on-par with that of a professional dominatrix–all handcuffs, night sticks, beatings, and boots.

Bassist Flea Balzary and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers joined the multi-genre, multi-dimensional music maker, Damon Albarn, as part of Africa Express.

The music project has helped bring Western musicians to Africian nations and African musicians to perform collaborations in the United Kingdom. Flea and Klinghoffer were two of the lucky musicians who got to perform in Ethiopia because of the “profound” Damon Albarn co-founded initiative.

“Josh [Klinghoffer - guitarist] and I went to Ethiopia as part of Africa Express with Damon, who was so kind to invite us, said Flea in an interview with NME. “What an amazing place it is. We meet all kind of people, artists, poets, intellectuals. It’s like another world.”

“We had such a good time,” Flea continued. “One time me and Josh went to this orphanage and we took these two little amps and we just started rocking and they left just started laughing. Like three hundred kids standing all in this circle, all from this orphanage and we just started rocking. Just the two of us. They thought it was the craziest thing. It was righteous man. It was a really profound experience.”

Offspring Say New Album “Days Go By” Has “Message Of Hope”

Huntington Beach’s punk rock icons the Offspring, have celebrated almost three decades as a band, from their start as Manic Subsidal to their current status as music industry mainstays.

The four-piece punk powerhouse played an intoxicated, but lively small gig at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach which they followed up with KROQ/Los Angeles’ Weenie Roast y Fiesta where they rocked the main stage.

With a few near-faultless gigs in their system and an upcoming tour, Offspring is now prepping to release their ninth studio album, Days Go By, this June 26th on Columbia Records. Frontman Dexter Holland said in an interview that on this ninth record, the band is going to “dig a little bit deeper, and that’s what we want to do as well.”
