Cover songs mixtape – Halloween 2009

The search for a new mixtape service (among other things) continues. 8tracks.com works, but it’s not the greatest. Enter mixtape.me, which ALMOST does the job, but I sorta hate the way it looks. Anyway, this playlist isn’t full of Halloween songs – just covers. …

Neon Indian – Psychic Chasms

82% – “Damn Good Record.”
Ok, so you’ve heard it, I’ve heard it; it’s been all over the blogosphere lately.  The hip thing for the past 3-6 months has been chillwave.  You know what I mean, hopefully: indie pop music of the more “laid-back” …

The Funniest Man In America: Neil Hamburger

I don’t really remember how we found out about this guy, but it’s (kinda) true what they say – that he’s “the funniest man in america” – actually, right now I don’t agree with that at all but if I did this would be my proof:

He has a few records out …

Sunday Mixtape is back!

Mixwit has been dead for some time now, and today I spent like 3 hours trying to make it work on my server – unfortunately, it was to no avail. Enter 8tracks.com. Mixes can only be 8 songs long, they play in random order, and don’t look like tapes at all, but …

Bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh are hitting the stage as Sublime, just like they did in February – only, now everyone knows about it so FANS will actually get to go. The show is part of Cypress Hill’s Smokeout, and while Sublime might get the most …

Best Interview Ever: Ian Svenonius Interviews Steve Albini on Soft Focus

3 Songs I Kinda Love (By 3 Artists I Really Don’t)

Let me preface by saying I have not heard any songs by any of these artists except for the ones posted below. I kinda feel like the rest of them will probably suck, so at the risk of losing esteem for the presented tracks, I think I’ll choose to remain ignorant.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: The Box Tops, The Buckinghams, and Jefferson Airplane

Yes I know it’s Sunday, so what? Since I haven’t been vibing on any music lately, except for Shellac (obviously), and I can only post the same 5 Shellac songs so many times before someone’ll throw a brick at my head until I can’t lift it anymore, I had to come …
