I have a treat of a Jawbox cover for everyone. It's from Evening Man, who has released one of my favorite albums this year (here's the album review I wrote for The Last Night ). If you haven't checked out The Last Night , go to Bandcamp right now and immerse yourself. There's a pretty neat little story behind the song choice. Jawbox was the first band that Paul ever saw live when they were opening for Stone Temple Pilots on tour. The original Savory has a grungey sound to [...]
howdy! man i actually i had like 3 posts planned for today, but yours truly is a dumbass. now, this is good and bad, well not bad just merely an annoyance for me. i was attempting to use fireftp, which is a great firefox extension, apparently i put the password in incorrectly, and after three attempts it bans the ip that is trying to access my server. great to know this actually works, but sucks when the guilty party is the person who actually runs the site. still may get at least one more up, but until then here is [...]

evening! it is raining like a mofo here in new orleans tonight. in fact there were some tornadoes not too far from here. luckily, at this point, we have been spared from such devastations and are only getting a wee bit of hail. ive had a few requests for a repost of this... which is is a pearl jam boot that may or may not be referred to as "first week rehearsals," supposedly taking place between 10.13 - 23 in 1990. whatever it is, there is some pretty awesome stuff here. until later... 1. even flow [...]
oh mondays, how i love thee. this here be a promo that was apparently sent out by reprise while mudhoney was on em in support of their 93 tour. pretty positive i was at the chicago show on the 17th, it was the only time i ever got see em for some reason. tis a shame, cause they were awesome. 1. suck you dry 2. make it now 3. fashion forecast 4. dead love 5. no end in sight [...]
top of the morning. i just realized its been almost a month since i posted a show. not sure what i have been doing the past month, but clearly not posting any shows. tis a shame, i know, but apparently my brain was elsewhere. that should all change starting with this built to spill show. i have downloaded a shitload of awesome stuff, so be on the lookout for those in the coming weeks. 1. intro/tuning 2. reasons 3. untrustable - part 2 4. [...]

Pavement is the greatest band in the world. Inherent in their sound is a sort of nonchalant swagger that is rarely reproduced. Their albums function as both separate entities and as a complete discography while their tracks can more than stand alone. But for me, it's Stephen Malkmus's off-the-cuff lyrics that truly hit home. Ranging from the apologetic yearning of Gold Soundz -"And you're the kind of girl I like / Because you're empty and I'm empty / And you can never quarantine the past"-to the absurdity of Blue Hawaiian -"Aloha means goodbye, and [...]

brother off sap // still consider this one of the best ep's ever released. even if you didnt like alice in chains this a departure from the whole "grunge" thing and more of an acoustic affair. so highly recommended. --> <!--
This week's BY REQUEST comes to us from The Steam Co.'s friend Anthony, who has spent a week in the office having 90's song off's with his co-workers. And winning. Here's to you, dear sir, and to your hopes and dreams of 90's DJ domination. We miss the decade just like you do, and even more than VH1. "The Spice Girls - Wannabe" "Oasis - Wonderwall" "Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit" "P.Diddy and the Family [...]
Too much nostalgia will make you grow hair on your palms, so let's all get it over with by looking through Fuck Yeah 1990s maybe once a month.
We're up to the end of Tom Defalco's 50-issue run on Amazing Spider-Man in our chronological review of the greatest long-running superbook of all time. It's interesting how for the most part Amazing Spider-Man writers tended to stay several years on the title, which is pretty uncommon in the grand scheme of comic book titles. Following some fillers and finishers, none of which are really worth looking for (or writing about), we get to the next major Amazing Spider-Man run . . . ISSUES 298-324: DAVID [...]

I was sitting and watching ESPN yesterday during lunch and OTL was featuring a report on the poisoning of the oaks at Toomer's Corner in Auburn. My brother goes to Auburn so I've actually been to the square and seen those trees. I know it's a big deal down in certain parts of Alabama but have to admit that I think the coverage those trees are receiving is a little over-the-top. It's sad that some fool would go too far in his zest for all things Bama and all things anti-Auburn in the rivalry. But as OTL [...]
Valentine's day is a test for those of us who are both cynics and romantics. The cynic in us wants nothing to do with the day, knowing that it's a purely commercial holiday that so many folks feel forced into celebrating. But the romantic in us loves it: it's a day when you get free rein to be mushy and be public and unabashed about your love. Guess which side I'm taking here? Yeah, I'm knee-deep in love these days. My wedding was just a few weeks ago, and my new wife Katie and I have been so [...]
Looking for great studying music? If you're like me, lyrics are distracting, classical music only works for so long, and bass-thumping electro just makes me want to dance. Thanks to our inbox , I found my new study session jam in Mixtape Edit Vol. 1 . We don't post instrumental mixtapes that often, but this is dope . As a producer myself, I get pretty excited when I hear someone pushing a unique sound. Beyond being rhythmically interesting, the synths throughout Mixtape Edit Vol. 1 are unparalleled (literally...1990 makes his synths from scratch). [...]
The underrated, 1990 , was generous enough to curate a toneful mixtape for DECKast #4, featuring his current listens. Moses' (aka 1990) track selection is really on point; it comprises a fluctuation of genres that seemingly helped influence and produce the founding basis of his music. The 10 track compilation showcases heavy glitch-hopped textures and hazed out beats from Brothertiger , Paul White , and Heralds of Change ; just to name a few. Next level chillwave material. Indulge yourself... DECKast #4 x 1990 [...]
