I can’t help myself, I love The Raconteurs (even if they do force a goddamn browser re-size on their homepage – ed.). I stand by my claim of Jack White being one of the finest lyricists of this generation and I think he and Brendan Benson just write great songs. “Consolers of the Lonely” is [...]
Watch You Bleed My lovely Mrs. will be pleased. I wonder how it will hold up against other classic in the genre: The Dirt, Please Kill Me, and Live From New York [got the heads up from Rex]
He has got to be insane. Aaron Horkey describes the print: “Embellished with 5 colors – acrylics, gouache and colored pencil. Each individual piece includes it’s unique print number hand rendered in paint, cradled inside the Detritus emblem at the bottom of the print. Surrounding flourishes on each number have been added using metallic gold [...]
Shadow and Cut Chemist (careful, browser re-size there- ed.) are two of my favorite DJs, so when they come together to do their sets of all 45rpm record mixes I am glued. I was actually lucky enough to get to see them on their most recent tour where they performed The Hard Sell. I have [...]
This is out of left field.
Elbow (check out that splash page, sharp!- ed.) is a band that should definitely get more propers than it does here in the U.S. The Seldom Seen Kid is the good Britpop that I love so damn much. Dude sounds like he’s smoked about 200 cigarettes and the band mixes up the sound enough to [...]
Like some folks have Jesus, I have John Reis (aka Speedo from RFTC) as my co-pilot and my homeboy. The guy makes great music and I search it out at every turn. The Night Marchers is his latest and greatest endeavor. It’s the good rock and roll. “I Wanna Deadbeat You” is a snappy little [...]
I just didn’t make enough time to do a lot of it this weekend. I knocked out a quick loop down to Arthur Ashe and back on Saturday morning before I left town for the day (for my fantasy football auction) and then I rode to the pool yesterday. I can’t really count that as [...]
Svn Fngrs is the latest Frank Black album (released under the Black Francis) but at only seven tracks (get it?) it falls between proper album length and a standard 5-track ep. If you’re into this guy then you will like it. He’s not the ‘Beach Boy from the Future” of ‘Teenager of the Year‘ anymore [...]
I really, really like the look of these little guys. Kidrobot has them for sale here. The only bummer for me is that they’re sold in blind-boxes so you don’t know what you’re getting until you open the box. That means I probably won’t buy them online. I hope World of Mirth has them for [...]
