Oi. TC. Stop Lookin At Them Girls And Do Your Job.

March 31, 2008

I found this delightful little number on a wickedsweet compilation that gives an overview of the evolution of the MC in British music, from dancehall to dubstep to jungle to grime and points in between.
Boh!

You Got A Engine Too

March 28, 2008

I have a soft spot in my heart for old songs that are meant to glorify Native Americans but end up seeming really offensive (Adam And The Ants, Iron Maiden). I was considering doing a week of them, but I couldn’t think of five songs that were actually good. I mean “Indians” by Anthrax is [...]

Gettin’ All Greasy? That’s A Fact

March 27, 2008

I was going to wait until Friday for this one since I’ve been so heavy on new music lately, but this song is in perfect keeping with the rainbow vibe I’ve been trying to cultivate. Once again, hellamad props go to Tim Sendra at the allmusic blog for the turnon.
JaConfetti follow in that great European [...]

You Could Be My End

March 26, 2008

Hey there, guy with a guitar and guy with drums! People are complaining. Regular bands are saying you’re making them feel like those trash people that have to walk through tunnels of old newspapers and keyboardists and take-out containers and bass amps just to get from one end of the stage to the other. Please [...]

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

March 24, 2008

When my wife and I went to the Country Music Hall Of Fame maybe ten years ago, there was an associated tour of “RCA Studio B.” I wasn’t too sure about this side trip, which necessitated a bus ride and seemed a little dollar-grubby.
When we arrived at Studio B, my cynicism seemed validated. There [...]

Two-Fer-Riday Twofereakout!

March 21, 2008

This is another one of my “I saw them play, now I tell you all about how they are super awesome” posts.
Did you know that Black Moth Super Rainbow is super awesome? I’ve rarely seen a psychedelicized band offer up so many concise, distinct songs. They seemed to be missing their vocalist when I [...]

They’ll Laugh At The Toughskins Your Mom Got You From Sears

March 20, 2008

This song is so damn catchy, true, and fun that I only had to hear it once (on a Fat Wreck Chords compilation) before it stuck in my head for all time.
Screeching Weasel – Cool Kids from Bark Like A Dog — or you know what, why don’t you just pick up an old Fat [...]

The War Rages On

March 19, 2008

One of the (too numerous to mention) benefits of getting old is that the music you loved as a kid comes back at some point, and there’s a new wave of troops to carry the flag.
Warbringer loves thrash too, so they got Bill Metoyer to produce their album. He produced Hell Awaits and Show No [...]
