Not A Day Goes By That I Don’t Think Of Mama

May 31, 2007

I haven’t posted any country yet, and that shames me. Here’s one from California’s favorite son (and should-be Poet Laureate), Merle Haggard.

Wednesday’s On The One

May 30, 2007

Although I am hella old enough to have heard this when it came out in 1986, I heard it for the first time on Diplo’s re-mark-a-ble FabricLive 24 (CD). Get it! And since you already have Spank Rock’s FabricLive 33 (CD), you’ll notice that they mixed it so it would flow into the [...]

They Are Children!! They Are Rappers!! They Have Gotten Out Of School!! Ahhh!!

May 25, 2007

What better way to spend the weekend than with some bad-ass kids rapping over a bad-ass Sufjan Stevens sample?
Did I already tell you about this? Then hit up their MySpace page for more assness that is bad. And read this Washington Post article.
When you’re on the mic
I don’t wanna be mean
But you’re, like, [...]

It’s All Over Now, Brother

May 21, 2007

In light of my recent experience of seeing Joanna Newsom in concert, I have decided to only listen to Joanna Newsom from now on. That might not sit well with you, but that’s why I don’t allow comments.
However, I did promise you some Richie, so it’s Richie you shall have. I’ve never gotten [...]

So Far From Home

May 18, 2007

I was almost gonna drop some Lionel Richie today because I’m long overdue for it, but I figured it would be better to wake you up with it on Monday. That way you get to listen to this Twilight Sad song all weekend and sing along with it really loud, and maybe it [...]

A Rebellion Cut To Fit – Well I Refuse To Be The Soundtrack To It

May 17, 2007

I miss Crass SO MUCH. Thankfully, for a while I had Propagandhi to fill the anarchist vegan punk hole in my heart.
They’re still around, but they’re not quite the same. Their first album was aces, the whole way through. Did I mention they’re from Winnipeg, Manitoba?
