I spy a few illegitimate couplings rising up from the past.
british sea power - valhalla dancehall
i'm sorry pi, i have no idea why this horse only has three legs.
Zap the zeros and ones on this shiny silver disc with a laser beam and it sounds like the New York Dolls arguing with the Mick Taylor-era Stones about drugs, girls, and who’s headlining, while the Beach Boys and Ronettes laugh and egg them on.
Call ‘em “throwbacks,” but Miss 45 are some of the few remaining survivors of their generation to believe in the spirit, attitude, and redemptive powers of rock and roll in a world gone apeshit over air-brushed, record company-commandeered automatons with shitty names willing to barter their souls, publishing rights, and first borns for fame, infamy, Class 1 narcotics, bling, or a photo op.
Unrestrained manic pop thrills that crackle, chug, stomp, and distort in all the right spots. Stand back and try not to get anything on you.

Me neither, but I appreciate your concern.

kiss the anus of a black cat - hewers of wood and drawers of water
Listening to "All Night Long" from Buckcherry. Really good hard rock band.
Smetchie slipped me some Imelda May...damn good recommendation, thanks! Clark, Imelda May is RIGHT in your wheelhouse...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_NkJw...
Yay!Janine, do you like Andrew Bird's instrumental Useless Creatures?
Oh, geez, my iPod just started playing "Jessica" as covered by They Might Be Giants. I think they're playing it on the accordion. And with a clarinet.

That IS a great cover of "Tumbling Dice," isn't it?

I'm listening to some Japanese pop and rock and assorted other stuff that appeals to my tastes, including this song by the Pizzicato Five:Mon Amour Tokyo
tricky - knowle west boy
special thanks go to jools holland for introducing me to this guy.
How is that album? I haven't bought his recent stuff.
"I Love My Evil Twin" by The Stalking Horses. Which just came on, and I was like, "What's THAT?!" And hey, I know that group, and that SINGER, personally!

I loved Pre-Millenium Tension. If you want a decent overview, get "A Ruff Guide" - it's a decent compilation, and has a lot of my favorites on it.
i have ordered 'a ruff guide' from the library.the decemberists - the king is dead
murder - gospel of man
What do you think of the Decemberists album, Janine? I really enjoyed it. There were a bunch of songs that sounded a little reminiscent of other acts, "Hey...is that an REM/Gillian Welch/Wilco song" etc., but all of the influences were bands I like, so I didn't mind.
i like it too, i'll have to listen to it some more tomorrow.
itunes:andre williams - i hate cha
blaudzun - jezebelle
swans - reeling the liars in
tim christensen - india
sigur rós - ára bátur
hjaltalín - debussy
rupaul - i saw daddy kissing santa claus
vampire weekend - campus
peggy sue & the pirates - the new song
loney, dear - i was only going out
i hate cha, jezebelle! i'm reeling the liars in, to india, on my ára bátur (year boat) debussy. i saw daddy kissing santa claus on campus. 'twas the new song, i was only going out.
The brain trust at CBS must've thrown a rod when dreaming up an experimental series of 10" four or five-song EP's back in 1980 called NuDisks but they produced a few winners, namely the Clash's "Black Market Clash," Cheap Trick's "Found All the Parts," and this one from the Continentals, who were never heard from again.
A shame, really, because with production from Tommy Ramone, the title track here - "Fizz Pop (Modern Rock)" - is perhaps THE great lost power pop track of the decade, a chugging, crunchy, sugar-coated kick in the pants, a near-perfect shake-up of guitar pop, punk swagger, and greasy swing.
Mostly hit and miss, cutting through Jim Carroll's pipedream to be a word-fixated, electrified folk singer who does everything but sing - imagine Patti Smith with testicles - is sometimes worth the hassle for those songs where he sounds like he's either trying to outrun an avalanche or catch a bus, i.e., "People Who Died" and "Jealous Twin."
