Happy New Year! Hope you all had a good one. I am a little behind on posts ( I still need to post my experience at the Bouncing Souls Home For The Holidays, my top 10 of 2011, etc) but in the meantime, here is a little new year's mix for all of you punks out there!MP3:Thursday - Jet Black New YearBouncing Souls - The New ThingThe Lawrence Arms - 100 ResolutionsBedouin Soundclash - New Year's
Holy shit. Philadelphia super group (featuring Atom, Dan Yemin, Jeff Ziga, and Mike McKee) has finally, after half a decade, released some new material! Of course, it's only a 3 song EP, but I'll take what I could get from these guys.Instead of writing a normal review, I'll just post a few drunken tweets I got from my friend regarding Armalite. They get better as the drinks got heavier. -
>> We saw The Hush Now 's final show of the year Wednesday night and the quintet continues to be among the most formidable of Boston bands. We've been holding onto the fivesome's latest holiday jam "On Holiday" because, well, we're trying to hold the line against holiday creep. But now that Thanksgiving is over and done, it is time to confront the sounds of the season. The Hush Now 's aforementioned, bossa nova romp approaches irresistible, and we've had the one-song CD-R on repeat in the car for days. "On Holiday" is an uptempo confection [...]
I am a pancreas (I seek to understand me...) - Armalite There was a time in my youth i was almost wishing diabetes on myself. Like the best hypochondriacs, i saw and inflated every passing irregularity as a symptom, ignoring any sound medical advice suggesting an otherwise. I thought it would be a cool disease to have. That was the life upheaving, potentially fatal chronic disease for me. Not type 2 diabetes, however. That's for losers. I was gunning for type 1, which i [...]
Entitled - Armalite It has been a whole year since i last posted an Armalite song, and then i expressed a worried yet suitably defeated hope for a new album or something sometime from them. It has been a year, and not a word or single song. That may be it. It was expected. Busy adults with their many fingers in many pies, punk rock and otherwise - it was expected. We are lucky we received all we did. One really great record, a [...]
Hmm. Might have already done this particular playlist theme once before: Mermen: Scalp Salad.mp3 Adele: Cold Shoulder .mp3 Armalite: I Am a Pancreas (Seek to Understand Me).mp3 Bruce Springsteen: American Skin .mp3 The Teeth : It's Not Funny.mp3 The Killers: Bones. mp3 Grizzly Bear: On a Neck On A Spit.mp3 [...]
Every few years, when the moon becomes full and the goblins creep through the night, Armalite decides to play a fucking show. Although I actually headed down to Maryland this weekend, there was no way I was going to miss this rare occasion and I made it back in time (drove straight to the venue) to see this Philly supergroup.Being played at the First Unitarian Church in Philly, instead of the
Hey Hey Hey It's Election Day! Go Out And Vote So They Can Hear What You Have To Say (The Voting Machines Already Know The Results Anyway) Seriously though. Go out and vote. NOW. (If you don't live in the US... Go pretend to vote, that's what we do in the states anyway). MP3: Paint it Black - Election Day Guttermouth - Party of Two (Your Table is Ready) Armalite - When Nice People Think
Photo taken by Matt Simansky Well, Philly is going completely bonkers after winning the world series last night, so I figure Philly is the perfect spot to kick off the newest series: Housewives World Tour!!! In Housewives World Tour, I'll be showcasing my favorite bands from select cities, states, countries, and tribes! Besides the liberty bell and having sports teams that (usually) suck
Ok, I usually don't make political posts, but last night I watched some of the debates, and learned something: Complete contrived, saturated, bullshit... Both McCain and Obama. I had to turn the debate off in disgust. They don't even let these candidates debate, it's just them stating their stance on a few planted, pre-approved questions that a third grader could answer. Asking Obama "if
We here at housewives love Atom and his Package. I also love Kid Dynamite and Paint it Black. While the music isn't nearly as heavy as Kid Dynamite or Paint it Black, it's nice to hear Adam's voice with some fun catchy punk. To be honest, the music actually reminds me of None More Black (which was started by Jason, the vocalist for Kid Dynamite). While most of the vocals are done by Adam, the songs that don't feature him are just as catchy. I'm (hopefully) going to see them for the first [...]
This is our second annual list of records that music fans should have heard this year, or should seek out now that we've stamped them with our seal of approval. We pointedly do not dub these records "best of the year," although in many cases we feel that this is true. No, this list is created with the intention to highlight sets overlooked or ignored by the MSBM (tm), the Mainstream Blog Media. Our list, for example, does not contain the Joanna Newsom record. Or The Decemberists record. Even the excellent Asobi Seksu record [...]
