Two weeks ago, we told you about the first ever Girls Got Rhythm Fest taking place at Amsterdam Bar & Hall in St. Paul on May 11-12. The two-day, female-focused music festival is headlined by R
Watch "5678!" above from Australian born and raised artist, Butterfly Boucher who has been living in Nashville creating her first official album since her 2009, Scary Fragile which was her sophomore LP. BB's debut Flutterby and her single "Another White Dash" made a strong first impression, and we have been following BB since. We're excited to hear the new album, 'Butterfly Boucher', out April 17 http://soundcloud.com/two-dog- media/04-warning-bell[/soundcl Bud] Warning Bell - Butterfly Boucher
Let's hear it for the girls! This spring, women, men and any other forms of music-loving life have a reason to get excited about girls with guitars. Announced just two days ago was word of a brand ne

Third Man Rolling Record Shop outside Frank in Downtown Austin (03/18/11) Lazy blogging maybe, but I really just wanted an excuse to post my picture of the Third Man Rolling Record Shop. Third Man Records has confirmed the March 29 release of three new Live at Third Man albums: Reggie Watts (TMR 80-who will perform two shows March 30 at New York's Music Hall of Williamsburg, tickets for the second of which are still available here ), Cold War [...]
White and the Japanese 'Kill Bill' trio roar through 'Great Balls of Fire' and 'Hanky Panky.'
Prayers and best wishes to Japan. It's not even 2012 yet and between Japan, Chile, Haiti and New Zealand, it appears that the Earth is pissed off. Or something. Now we'll have endless news stories in the U.S.A. about what would happen if the "big one" hit ( insert your city here ). As I live in New York, it's just another unpleasant possibility to ignore. Tsunami's, earthquakes, nuclear attacks... we're all dead pretty much instantly; why bother stressing.
Joining the growing list of awesome reissues from Jack White 's very own Third Man Records (see Jon Wayne - Texas Funeral ), the label has just announced they will reissue The 5.6.7.8 's self-titled LP, which will become the group's first domestic US release. Don't worry if you haven't heard of them before. Join the club. Believe it or not, the all-female Japanese trio have been putting out American-inspired garage rock for almost two decades now, but most of their fan-base and recognition has unfortunately remained in Japan. We [...]
On its 1995 six-song EP, Bomb the Twist, The 5.6.7.8 's manage to deliver all the basic elements of every rockabilly-surf rock band ever in just over 15 minutes. Well…sorta. The 15 minutes part is right, the every element is a bit of hyperbole. Much like the biochemistry of life, on the surface it looks pretty complex, however, when you look close enough you see that there are really only a handful of chemical reactions that occur. Just over and over again, with various different players involved. Surf rock is the same. In the quarter hour of listening [...]
Morning- happy pill. Get to work - several cups of coffee Lunch After lunch - more cups of coffee Pre Train - beer On Train - beer Post Train - Agriculture Home - Beer Dinner Post Dinner - Beer Nite - Sleeping Pill. Rinse, Repeat. Sorta like my very own 12 step program, but I missed one rung somewhere. Nobody seems to know what's going on lately. Reminds [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , The Hit List If Quentin Tarantino 's movie career can be encapsulated in a single blast of music, it's the twang-laden rumble of Dick Dale 's 'Miserlou.' Energizing the opening credits of ' Pulp Fiction ,' it's a hard, fast piece of retro cool set in an eminently modern (and post-modern) context. Plus, it's exciting as hell. Few other filmmakers have been so renowned for their ability to find just the right piece of music to set a mood, accent a moment [...]
Today marks the third birthday of Mainstream Isn't So Bad . That's right, three years ago on this day I put up "El Posto Numero Uno," never imagining that three years later I'd be putting up "MISB Turns Three!" Heck, I didn't imagine that MISB would last to its three month anniversary, never mind three years. Since it's birth, MISB has been all about sharing music that I find in my musical journey through life with all of you. And while I don't delude myself with any grandiose dreams of mass influence, hopefully along the way I've [...]
Sometimes, Youtube can be a treasure trove of musical stuff that you couldn't even make up high on Acid. Here are a few: Patti Smith singing "You Light Up My Life" on a Saturday Morning kids show: The Seeds on a cheesy 60's sit-com lip syncing Pushin Too Hard: The Grateful Dead on Playboy's "After Dark": The 5678's on Ghoul A Go Go : and last, but certainly not least, The Standells covering The Beatles on The Munsters!: [...]
With New Years Eve nearly upon us, likely there'll be many a party starting, so here's a small flood of party, if not necessarily Party!, songs, which float my boat & might do the same for yours. There's (sorta) glam-rock from Hello, a cracker from Pink, who knocks out some rather good songs on occasion, the raucous(ish) Donnas, a Noel Coward cover, some great garage/punk from Japan, and well, just more really As I hinted, these mightn't all be good tunes to play at your typical party - what would be?. I spose mine would have to include [...]
After much mulling about, as I thought about making this like my usual month long compilation posts and have all the songs run under 80 minutes in length so they can make for a nifty CD compilation, I had a real hard time whittling down my selections from my 45's to just 80 minutes of music. Then today I picked up a record I bought in Minnesota during my vacation and inside the record were two more 45's I bought as well but forgot about and I also received two more 45's in the mail today.

BREAKING DOWN THE FOURTH WALL photo by Jeffrey Panis It's time for a pre-summer roundup here on the blog. These have been very busy days. As I approach the 2-year anniversary of the RSL Blog (August 1st) I looked for a way to celebrate this summer. Continuing on a tradition I started last year, I am hosting live music parties throughout the city this year. (Think of these as one-stop shopping for amazing talent.) [...]
