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

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.
Merle Haggard - I Wonder If They Ever Think Of Me from the 4-CD-box-set-without-a-clunker-on-it Down Every Road (CD / download)

Wednesday’s On The One

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 [...]

When Diggin Holes, He Be Wearin A Glove

He go into the shed
Get out a chovel and he chove

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

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.

Dishonor He Would Never The Tartan Of His Clan

Ah, warmth and spring. The kind of weather that puts me in the mood for warring Scottish clansmen.
Middle Of The Road - Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum

I’m still listening to Joanna Newsom, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Here’s my version of the Unicorn Chaser.
Prodigy - Mac 10 Handle from Return Of The Mac (CD / download)

The Meadowlark And The Chim-Choo-Ree

Joanna Newsom - Emily (from Ys - CD / download)

It’s All Over Now, Brother

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

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

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? 
We strive for something more [...]
