HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to read!!!!

Monday, November 30th, 2009

You have to go over to Seano’s blog today, Circle of Fits, and read what his friend Sadler Vader had to say about rock and roll music.  Its his commentary on the state of music today inspired by watching some of the greats last night on RRHOF’s concert.  I think he’s right on.  (bummer that [...]

A new video from Bombadil

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Yes, two videos in two days from a couple of my favorite local bands. Today’s video is for Bombadil’s song “So Many Ways to Die,” and like the band’s music, it’s charming and a bit disturbing at the same time. Still no word on a live show as bass player Daniel Michalak is still dealing [...]

The Bloodsugars Can Go On

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I seriously heart heart HEART brooklyn band The Bloodsugars, who write perfectly crafted indie pop tunes. And as such, I could not be MORE stoked that they have finally released a full length album, I Can’t Go On, I’ll go On. I played the first single, “Light At The End Of The Tunnel” on EVR [...]

No, Mr Doherty… do Jimmy Cagney instead

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Proving that – expensive education aside – he’s not really that bright, Pete Doherty has been happily singing the Nazi anthem during a German gig.
Apparently, singing the Nazi anthem wasn’t meant to be offensive:
In a statement released to Sky News Online, his spokeswoman said the Babyshambles singer “wanted to celebrate his appearance in Munich by [...]

Limp Bizkit make an announcement

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Bless, Fred Durst has made of formal announcement about the title of the new Limp Bizkit album. Out goes the working title – Jesus, How Many More Of These Things Do I Have To Make Before That Credit Card Is Paid Off, in comes…
Golden Cobra.
You’d think everyone would think it best left at that, but [...]

RRHOF vs Ed Sullivan

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Ok, all the COOL (and lucky) people got to watch the RRHOF concert on HBO tonight.  I am watching a public TV station doing “Ed Sullivan’s Rock and Roll”, which, is classic.  I rather be watching what Starr talks about (see comments on the last post) but I will settle for Herman’s Hermits, The Animals, [...]

Embed and breakfast man: Magnapop

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Somehow, the return of Magnapop had passed me by – they’d vanished in 1999 with a contractual obligation to not use the name for seven years hanging over their heads; they’d re-emerged in 2005 and relifted the flag with Mouthfeel – which seems to have never got a UK release.
This year, there was another new [...]

Rounding off our quick swoosh through Magnapop’s back catalogue, then:

Free Music – Ray Davies "The Kinks Choral Collection"

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I have a sampler of this incredible CD to give away.  If you’d like it let me know in the comments, if there is more than one of you I will hold a drawing in the next few days.

I was surprised at how much I liked this.  I was not sure what to expect but [...]

New video from Citified

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Chris Jackson from Greensboro’s Citified just sent me the link to a new video for the band’s song “Weddings.” The song is from the band’s 2008 release “The Meeting After the Meeting,” and the video was directed by Dave Liberstein. It’s a nice, sepia-toned, dreamy video that goes along nicely with the swirly [...]
