Have You Sassified Yourself Of Late?

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Dude is so satisfied, he’s unflappable
Hey, dudes and vagina-vehicles (that’s my new endearing term for ladies — they are, after all, things used for transporting vaginae (is that the plural of vagina?)). I actually had time to pen an entire TOP TEN today. It’s been a few weeks since the last one, right? Well, I’ve [...]

Chango – Chango (Self-Titled)

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

A CD copy of this album came into the store last month, and I took to it immediately due to the fact that the band and album share a name with everyone’s favorite hipster coffeeshop in Echo Park. The music contained on the gramophone record sounds nothing like the mind-numbingly bland “indie-rock” one would normally [...]

Cows – Cunning Stunts

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

This one is perhaps one of the best albums released by one of my favorite bands. I’ve heard Nicci tell me it sounds like something she would have liked in high school, but I think she’s not listening closely enough. Mark Prindle gave it a ten-star review. He noted that Cunning Stunts was a sparkling [...]

The Wind Harp – Song From The Hill

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

This one is just plain-fucking-weird. It came into the store a few weeks ago and I snatched it up immediately. I’d read about its rarity on another music blog several months earlier, so the fact that it found its way into my store was quite exciting for me. Nevertheless, here’s the story behind The Wind [...]

Record Reviews: Up-Tight, 5ive, And Daturah

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Ah, work. Where I spend money I don’t have on LPs because I see them cross my path during the day and grow to desire them more and more greatly over the course of the next several hours. And how tired I am when I come home. How bored I am waiting for something to [...]

The Moment Of Truth: What The Shit?!

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

It’s one of those things you don’t really expect to happen because it seems so completely outlandish…but I found myself watching “The Moment Of Truth” on FOX last night. The premise of the show, as I understood it at the time, was that people sit down and answer 50 or 100 personal questions about their [...]

Jackie-O Motherfucker – Live on WFMU / Freedom From / Cross Pollinate

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

There’s this band. We’ll call them Jackie-O Motherfucker, because that actually is the name of the band. When I first read the name of the supporting act for the Godspeed You Black Emperor shows at the Warsaw in Brooklyn was Jackie-O Motherfucker, I couldn’t be more excited. What the fuck kind of name is that? [...]
