I love this semi-obscure new wave gem, perfectly conjuring a white Angeleno’s dream fantasia after falling asleep to one of the high-wattage, unregulated Mexican radio stations of the 80s. And if you’ve ever fallen asleep to the radio (or, like me, let it play in the mornings, when you’re unable to get up and shut …
This is REALLY good. Much fuller than the lo-fi original. I know, I know, I’m missing the point. I always do… Also – Reggae, What Happened? The Critic’s Roundtable Talks London, Kingston – The single most trenchant and honest piece of writing about reggae, ever!
Leon Russell and the Shelter People is the greatest album which I’ve never talked about, never been drafted into an argument about. It seldom comes up in the best of all time lists, but should. Yet Robert Christgau disagrees with me: “Russell knows how to put music together, but he still has trouble putting it …
Thanks to Bob Smietana who says: “[This song contains] The theology of country music, in one song: God is great. Beer is good. People are crazy.”

It’s no secret that I used to consider "John in the Morning" [aka John Richards], KEXP’s vastly overpaid, morning drive time "Star" DJ, an absolute dweeb. Possibly a nice enough guy, but still…. However, after old pal o’ Husker Du Kevin Cole came over from Minneapolis to re-program the station a few years back, it …
They love the Beatles and the British Invasion, or at least sound as if they do. Their album, Madeline, will drop on 2/15/2011. Here’s a nifty live clip from the Crystal Ballroom: Here’s a tender love song from Paul, er Derby: . Band Website = Derbyrock.com .
Nicki Minaj-Super Bass with lyrics
Yes, she did. Here’s the story. Her truncated performance is below:
These earnest lads have racked up almost three million views on their cover vid of Britney Spears’ “Hold it Against Me.” Impresssive, especially since Britney’s own video has yet to drop:
Here’s the latest from the BBC. Eric Bell, whom Moore replaced in Thin Lizzy, when reached for comment, said “I still can’t believe it. He was so robust, he wasn’t a rock casualty, he was a healthy guy.” Here’s Moore with Bell on “Whiskey in the Jar”: And here’s Moore solo with “Still Got the …
Despite some great, great records, The Paladins never achieved the fame that their roots-rock, SoCal predecessors The Blasters and X enjoyed. Nevertheless, they remain an epitome of the hard-working, immensely talented, touring roadhouse band… and in the genre, you will find few guitarists more skilled than Dave Gonzalez. After spending a half-decade on hiatus, they’ve …

I found this lovely piece of video, Stars playing two songs, ‘Your Ex-Lover Is Dead’ and ‘Haunted’ with only a guitar in one song and a piano in the other. It’s enchanting. The Vimeo is below, but I think you should head over to the original site, La Blogotheque, to read about how it came …
This is a year and a half old, but I still love this vid, a timeless ChamberPop moment presented by Yourstru.ly. Enjoy:

Beavis & Butthead are BACK! http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/browbeat/archive/2011/02/03/hey-fartknocker-welcome-to-the-new-millennium.aspx Hey Fartknocker, Welcome to the New Millennium By Nina Shen Rastogi After months of chatter, MTV confirmed yesterday that Beavis and Butt-Head, those 1990s arbiters of suckage, will return to television this summer, well rested and presumably prepped to deconstruct a whole new generation of music videos. But do …
This will bring back some memories. Any guy who grew up playing football will feel this one. Reminds me of growing up back in the 60625 when it was still part of the 312 and running in the mud with a football till it got too dark to see at every park and empty lot …
