It’s only right and natural that this song should be my 200th vegetable. And… there’s really not much more one can say about this.
The Frogs - I’ve Got Drugs (Out Of The Mist) from It’s Only Right And Natural (unfairly out of print, but available used through amazon or you can download the album on [...]

Is it wrong to expect The Cool Kids to usher in a new and beautiful era in hip-hop?
Well, after reading this interview, I’m expecting them to do nothing less than save music.
Everybody is like, “Aright, so when’s the album coming out?” We’re probably just going to keep leaking songs till we figure this thing out. [...]

This delightful little number comes from a 1991 CD Nintendo put out called White Knuckle Scorin’. This song was the only one that actually references any Nintendoness, though. The others are (I believe previously-recorded) tunes by like Britny Fox and Roy Orbison(?). It was the first time I had ever really heard Jellyfish, and even [...]

They way things are today, I [...]

Yes, yes, yes. So I don’t know how I missed this. Probably because I don’t think you can buy their music outside of France quite yet. But still. The singer co-wrote Justice’s D.A.N.C.E., and they are supporting Justice on their current tour. Don’t you love it when you get into a new band and [...]

OK, too much time in the past. Let’s snap into the present. You know, there’s a sh*t-ton of great music being made every single second on this planet.
Here’s a band, or a dude, or a dude-band, that I had never heard of until I caught this song on Pitchfork’s Top 100 Tracks Of 2007. [...]

The early days of the Geto Boys were an explosion of talent. Their first two major albums (The Geto Boys and [...]
