RAMBLIN' GAMBLIN'

The Animals were the more scruffy and beaten up group of Englishmen, as opposed to the Beatles. Eric Burdon's howling vocals are legendary.

SHADES OF WHITE

The Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, hailing from Brooklyn. Crazy sick jams.

WIND ON THE WINDOW

The king of jazz.

CRUMMY MAINLY

I present to you one band that I was introduced to about a year or so ago. A three piece from San Diego, California: Trumans Water.

Absolutely crazy.

PLACES TO GO

TAKE A DIVE

REBEL CITY

Pretty PURDIE!!!!!!!!!!

FREQUENT FLIER

Apparently Jeff Mangum did a surprise appearance in New York yesterday. He performed a few Neutral Milk Hotel songs, too. Does this mean more performances? Who knows, but that's pretty awesome.

CAJUN QUEEN

CCR took blue collar rock to a different level, very cool raw guitar sound.

ALMOST LIKE YOU

Great song off of Black Francis' 2008 album, "Svn Fngrs"

THE GREAT COMPROMISER

I was informed yesterday that one of the greatest comedic actors, Leslie Nealson, has passed away.

He stared in such films as Airplane!, Spy Hard, Creepshow, and of course the Naked Gun series.

DOWN IN THE BASEMENT

I remember, the Alamo!!

KRAZEY KIDZ

Ridiculous band hailing from Detroit!

RAMSHACKLE

By the time Beck first made it big in 1994, he already had roughly three albums worth of material. Majority of it was more acoustic-based, yet I think those are his best works.

THE WORKS

MR. MACINTOSH

I feel like Matt Sharp made a good decision leaving Weezer, for obvious reasons. The Rentals were totally kickass.

The Rentals - New Music - More Music Videos

TAKING THE HIGH GROUND

Fang Island are very very good, one of the most talents bands at the moment in my opinion.

COLLAPSING COLLISION

I always wanted to go to a Dinosaur Jr. show, apparently they play loud as hell.

DOWN DER FLY

Sleep fucking rocks, definitely in the heart of old school Black Sabbath.

SIMPLY SQUARED

The Yardbirds with Jimmy Page on guitar, this was before Led Zeppelin even started. Good stuff.

GATHER THE BONES

Fugazi shows used to be five bucks and all ages, this needs to happen again.

CRANIUM

Easily one of Frank Black's catchiest tunes.

FIRE WITH FIRE

Burnin' down the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Talking Heads - Burning down the house
Uploaded by Dan_of_the_Land. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.

I'LL BE MELLOW WHEN I'M DEAD

Weird Al's first TV appearance ever, way back in '81!

Happy 100th post!!

C0OL LEMONADE

ELECTRICITY IN THE VEINS

Jay Reatard went way too young, punk rawker until end.

JAGGED X-ACTO

B-52's rockin through the wilderness!!!

GOIN' NOWHERE

One of my favorite Breeders songs, Kim Deal totally rocks it out.

If you didn't know, she's in the Pixies as well.

DELIVERING THE FLOW

Hope everyone had a very eventful and exciting October, now back to handing out the beats.

GRAVEYARD SMASH

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL

Although not as mind blowing as the original series, The Twilight Zone movie has its moments of well developed horror.

The opening scene is personally one of my favorites, a nice touch of CCR as well.

FLOATING DOWNSTREAM

Rosemary's Baby is a very intense thriller, makes you think, and has some rather trippy moments.

I suggest you watch the entire video.

KILLER KLOWNS

Killer Klowns from Outer Space, what more can I say.

BLOOD BATH

Peter Jackson's first prize winner film right here. Dead Alive is a crazy tale of zombies, blood, zombie babies, and European love.

This scene is known for it's record breaking use of fake blood.

DEVIOUS DEMONS ON DISPLAY

The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror specials were always the best.

THE HALLOWEEN TREE

One of my favorite movies as a kid.

COVER UP THE WOUNDS

Bruce Campbell, the man, the myth, the legend. Evil Dead is a great series of horror.

INDIAN BURIAL GROUNDS

Pet Sematary is one of my personal favorite Stephen King novels. The movie was a well done adaptation.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEE'S JOHNNY!

The Shining, one of the greatest horror films of all time.

RED EYES, WHITE TALE

Absolute classic trailer of horror, movie was so raw that it was eventually banned from theatres.

BLEEDING FROM EVERY LIMB

One of my favorite Tim Burton short films.

GREEEEEEEETINGS, THIS IS VINCENT PRICE

For the next four days, I will be posting none other than horror films, terror stories, and a few gory tales.

Figure I should start it off with an absolute classic.

OPEN DOOR

rocknrooooollll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY!

Where have you, beeeeeeeeeen?

GIVE 'EM HELL, KID

bone machine.

Link Wray on guitar, iconic song from the 50's.

ILLUMINATED PUMPKIN

The Kinks are the greatest. Catchy as shit, Ray Davies is a genius songwriter.

GROOVING ALONG

One of my favorite bass lines, Paul McCartney is a $ell0ut

POSTMODERN MACABRE

Canned Heat rockin out!!

REVENGE OF THE SONIC CITY

Grooms is a really good band from Brooklyn.

COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN

WINDY DAYS, BROKEN LEAVES

Halloween is around the bend.

THIRTEEN RINGS

New people, new routine, new friends, same old shit.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

ALLEY CAT

The Coral is a band hailing from the UK. They came around in 2003, yet failed to get as popular as the other garage bands during this era, such as The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Hives, and The Vines.

Even still, they have some pretty catchy tunes.

OLD DREAMS, NEW REALITY

Iconic song off of Sonic Youth's 1992 album, "Dirty." Possibly my favorite album from them.

GOT DAT BEAT

Wailing on the vibraphone.

88 MILES PER HOUR

Good band, too bad they broke up not too long ago.

ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE

Beck is the Bob Dylan of our generation.

PASSEDOUT PASSOVER

Classic use of power-chords. Catchy stuff!

CLUB-A-GO-GO

The B-52's are party machines.

GREETINGS

This is so cool.

HI, HOW ARE YOU?

Daniel Johnston's very first TV appearance. History in the making.

SAIL AWAY

Ween at their catchiest.

TREES FALLING FROM TIP TOP

Young and angst-driven Sonic Youth

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22ND.

FENNARIO'S COFFEE AND TOBACCO IN WEST CHESTER

STARTS AT 8PM. $6.

This is going to be fun, people.

UP AND AWAY

Some more Philadelphia pride right here.

Caboder is an awesome Philly band that kinda reminds me of Sonic Youth. They're all a bunch of cool dudez.

Old Scratch is playing a show with them next month, all the deetz COMING SOON.

CABODER "WAY DOWN" from Boxojoi Music on Vimeo.

SUN COMES UP

Great organ work by QUESTION MARK & The Mysterians.

Look at those moves!!!

FOILED FREEDOM

You are not as cool as Booker T. & the MG's.

GOT THE FLAVOR

Who's got the flavor?

PAVEMENT TONIGHT.

Greetings all,

Tonight is very special. PAVEMENT is playing the Mann Center! Awesome venue.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

ROCK ME AMADEUS

BACK WITH MOONROCKS

The Unicorns are a synth pop/punk band from Montreal, Canada. They helped start a huge music scene in Canada, including Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene.

Their debut (and only) LP, "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We Are Gone?" is absolutely brilliant, I recommend to go and listen right away.

Sadly, things in the band did not work out so well, and they split up later in 2004. The two masterminds of the band, Nick Diamonds and Aldan Penner started up their own projects, which I will eventually post sometime.

PUNK RAWK:

STAGE ON FIRE

One of my favorite Jimi Hendrix tunes, his rendition of The Troggs', "Wild Thing."

There hasn't been a guitarist/artist like him since:

PAPER POSIES

The VMA's aren't what they used to be.

FEEL LIKE DIRT

Great.

3

HAPPY GO-LUCKY

The Pixies ripping through a cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain song, "Head On".

They just played the Tower Theatre this week, probably was a great show.

UNDERGROUND UPTOWN

The legendary Guru with special guest MC Solaar. Give some RESPECT.

WISH YOU THE BEST

Really really good cover of Cee Lo Green's new single, "Fuck You."

JUMPING FOR JAMES JOYCE VOL 4.

This is the Weezer I know and love.

READING TO DO

The Cribs, three piece punk band from England. They're all brothers!

BLACK SHEEP

This is a very important post.

As of right now, I would consider this band my favorite current punk band from Philadelphia.

Rasputin's Secret Police are raw as hell, and they went to my grade school.

Here are TWO videos from them, and you should check both.

BABIES IN RENO WITH THE VITAMIN D

Keep on rockin!!!! Black Keys are just starting to get some well deserved attention. Great band to see live, one of the best dirty guitar tones out there now.

RIGHT OUT OF THE BAG

Here's a band I've seen a few times around the circuit: Drink Up Buttercup

It's always cool to see a Philly band get some attention. Their sound is somewhat pop-experimental-rock. Almost like something you'd hear from Elephant 6.


Without further ado:

PISTOL PETE

Gary Busey as Buddy Holly. Need I say more?

A NEW HOPE

One of my all time favorite Nirvana performances, cover of the Velvet Underground song, "Here She Comes Now." Kurt's guitar cuts out midway through--nice!!

Enjoy!!!

HORNETS IN THE MOURNING

Here's a nice relaxing one for you.

BACK IN THE GRIND

Classic Beck

JUMPING FOR JAMES JOYCE VOL 3.

New Wavves video for Post Acid off their new album, King of the Beach!!!!!!!

Skateboarding Alien meets Encino Man?

INITIATE THE UNIFORM

The Midnight Special was a TV program from the early 70's to early 80's that showcased many up and coming bands from the era. You knew you "made it" if you were on this show.

Here's Cheap Trick performing "Surrender" on the show, one of the most important rock anthems from the 70's, turn up your headphones and rock out:

MY AUTUMN JACKET

The Thermals are a three-piece from Portland, Oregon. Good raw pop-rock. Definitely deserve more attention than they already have. Recording a new album I believe.

PIONEER CHANDELIER

The Apples in Stereo are a band hailing from Denver. They've been around since way back in '95 and have put out a total of seven amazingly pop-guitar-driven albums. Still touring too.

The lead dude, Robert Scheider, founded the "Elephant Six Recording Company" of which Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, Olivia Tremor Control, and plenty of other bands are a part of.

Here's a track off their first album:

STRUM THE GUITAR!!

Kurt say hello!!!!

DOWN WITH HIM!

To prove that Jack White is an ass:

APPLE BLOSSOM

Back in the mid to late 80's, there was a huge underground music scene in Olympia, Washington.

Many could argue that this band, Beat Happening, were the pioneers of this scene. Led by Calvin Johnson, who pretty much started K Records. Real punk rock. This is off their last album, but I recommend you listening to them all.

NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE

Absolutely fantastic.

SMASH HIT

Hilarious interview with Beck and Thurston Moore way back in 1994. When MTV was actually cool, and 120 minutes was still on air. Enjoy!!

GREEN LIGHTS, YELLOW HAT

I present to you, one of the greater punk rock bands of the past few years: The Ponys.

These guys really know how to rock, I totally recommend listening to all three of their albums.

FUGAZI!!!!!!!!!!

LAST IN LINE, FIRST IN THOUGHT

Here's a track from a new-ish band "Harlem."

Their new album, "Hippies", is packed with short, simple, catchy tunes. Which is awesome.

Here's one of my favorites from the album:

LASIK EYE SLAUGHTERY

If you are a fan of the genius Daniel Johnston, or haven't even heard of him, I highly suggest you watch this movie, The Devil and Daniel Johnston. Very interesting, you will laugh, cry, sulk, jump, laugh, dance, yawn....

PAINT ON THE PAVEMENT

Remember in 2003 when all the "garage" bands were coming out of the waterworks?

For example, The Vines, White Stripes, The Strokes, The Hives. They were apparently supposed to "save" rock music.

Yeah.....that happened.

Anyways, here's a band from Australia, where the Vines hail from.

ROTTEN APPLE.

Wavves is playing a show in New York tonight, first time back to the US for quite a while. Should be a good show, I'd go if I were you.

If you like Wavves, I'm sure you will enjoy this band, Best Coast. Pretty much the same concept.

Catchy stuff!!

JUMPING FOR JAMES JOYCE VOL 1.

I would have loved to seen Neutral Milk Hotel, very good performers.

RAWK 'N ROUL MUSAK

TOMORROW. 12-6. OLD SCRATCH AT 2PM.

BRING YOUR FRIENDS, DOLLS, AND PETS.

DEAR BELOVED, UNTIL TOMORROW

So after tonight I walked to my car, and what's hanging out on the INSIDE of my windshield? A praying mantis! Good luck, I suppose.

The Beatles' album "Please Please Me" is the most looked over album, ever. I think at least. One of my favorite tracks by the Beatles is a song sung by George Harrison called, "Do You Want To Know a Secret?" Very underrated track, the harmonies sung by Paul and John are so fitting. Actually being written by John, he let George sing it in order to "join in on the fun."

LISTEN:

FOLLOW THE YELLOWBRICK ROAD

The Greenhornes are a band from Ohio, very cool old school sound. The drummer and bassist went onto play with Jack White in the Raconteurs, unfortunately.

Check 'em out!

LAST TRAIN TO CLARKSVILLE

Had a pretty eventful weekend, good stuff.

This band, The Clean, pretty much set off the "Do It Yourself" motive way back in '81. Hailing from New Zealand, this brought the attention of many cool bands, such as The Chills, The Bats, and the rest of Flying Nun records.

Very cool sound, I suggest you look them up:

FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL

Seeing my friend John play the trumpet with the Dangerous Ponies tonight, should be a good show. 7:30 at the Blockery, everyone come on by!

Where do you think Jack White got his idea for a blues duo band? Ripped off the great Flat Duo Jets. These cool cats were around during the late 80s and some of the 90s, and they totally deserved more attention. Raw as shit rock and roll.

OH, and is that a Silvertone guitar? Of course, this guy knows his blues!!!

CHOCOLATE JIMMIES@@@$!!

Remember the Violent Femmes? Very underrated band. Their self-titled debut is one of the finest albums on Slash Records, a punk rock label from Los Angeles, who also had The Misfits, L7, and The Germs under their belt (talk about punk).

Although their record label was under a very radical punk aestetic, the Violent Femmes stuck to their more acoustic roots, very cool. Definitely a show I'd go see back in the 80's. Check them out:

LOST IN TIME AND SPACE.

It occurred to me today that Andy Hummel, the bassist from the mega-pop group, "Big Star", died recently. Very sad news. Not a lot of people are familiar with this great band, I totally recommend them.

Here you are:

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE IS DEAD.

Finally some good punk rock is coming back into the scene, and if you don't know who these cats are by now, you're missing out. Critical display of rock and roll.

Enjoy WWAAAAAAAVVVVEESSSSS:

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS.

Heard this on 88.5XPN, never heard it before. This Ben Lee character doesn't really seem to be very interesting, but this song is unbelievably catchy, take a listen:

MUGWUMP FROMP

Are you familiar with the NME Music Expo from 1965? Well, you should be. This was a fantastic all day event with artists such as The Kinks, The Animals, The Kinks, Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, and uh, The Beatles? Yeah, I'm already starting to build a time machine in my garage.

But take a listen to a little band called Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders, their drummer completely rips it in the beginning of their first song! Very cool raw sound, if we could only go back:

BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU

Just got back from traveling abroad, meaning, going down to New Jersey for a bit. A friend of mine put in a Man Man album on the way down, I saw them back in March and their show was one of the most energetic shows I've seen, lots of fun. Did I mention they are from Philly? Take a listen:

REDRUM.

So, I heard this song on the radio today, and I forgot how much Shocking Blue rocked the 70's, very underrated band, their chord progression and melodies are perfect, and without saying they are cooler than you or me, take a listen:

LOMTICKS OF TOAST

My cat just caught and ate an annoying housefly, yes!
I heard the Vaselines are coming to town, definitely want to go to that.

DEVO ROCKS.

Hello.

I'm still trying to figure this stuff out, so in the meantime, enjoy yourselves.
