Fuck you #Sandy the #frankenstorm . To hell with everybody who keeps ignoring global warming issues in politics and not trying to reduce your global footprint somehow. We're all guilty of this in many ways. I hope we survive this natural disaster and it does not become some apocalyptic scene. Anyway here's a playlist of a bunch of songs about inclement weather, rain, sleet, floods and snow to help you brave this situation. Playlist for badweather: 01. Smells Like Rain MP3 by Unsane from Occupational Hazard (1998) When [...]
SHOW PREVIEW: Beware this is celebratory and shameless plug for a bunch bands that used to play The Court Tavern in New Brunswick, New Jersey a whole fuckin' bunch. Before the Gaslight Anthem & Screaming Females there were these bands who played this juke joint more times than these bands can collectively count. The Court Tavern was our local version of CBGB's situated in downtown New Brunswick. Forever, this was the venue of choice to see a band live where chromosomes and some DNA floated around freely. Wasn't too big or too small but basically [...]
Everybody loves this little purple man. He can sling a riff smoother than silk. Call him whatever you like Artist, Maven or a pompous Perfectionist he kows how to write a song so if you make it sound like shit it's because you suck. Little Red Corvette MP3 by Montagna & The Mouth to Mouth from their CD L'avenir . First time I heard this it took me totally by surprise. I mean what's not to like about a really well done Prince cover right? [...]
The Texas Chainsaw Mashacre Here are some scary songs for Halloween along with a mash-ups to go with it to scare up your playlist. Mladek MP3 by Russian Circles from their record Empros - Slam jammer with a slayer and explosions in the sky tilt. You can hear Jason creeping around on this one. Does not get scarier than this. The Monster Mash MP3 by Bobby Pickett - A classic oldie but goody. Psycho Killer [...]
We love the Archers of Loaf around these parts. I'm not sure if Indie Rock as I knew it would have any real meaning without Icky Mettle . Seriously, the record is wholesome college noisy indie rock with just the right amount of grit and sing-along to make it a true college radio break-out. They got weirder as they went breaking boundries staying under the radar from major airplay. Meaning no top 40 hit but all hits on every record in their own right. So it's about time they did a reunion show. Don't get [...]
I was digging in the archives a few months ago looking up video footage to lend to the Cruel but Fair movie [ CBF on Facebook ] and i cam across half a set by Ex Models from a Aviso'Hara Record release show for Made From Scratch. Anyway. The banter is funny and if you dig these guys you should enjoy these live nuggets which are not available anywhere else. Ex-Models live @ The Court Tavern 2000 mp3s Girlfriend is worse [...]

Based out of New Brunswick, NJ in the early 90's there was prog funk alternative rock metalish band called Mr. Thumb . The group had two singers and a running gaggle of drummers. Above is the cover for a 3 song ep called " This time it's gonna fuckin' Hurt " on Hub city label Well Primed Records. The track we are featuring in this post was supposed to appear on a follow-up 7" and self titled album on Behemoth Records but it never was released due to financial issues at the time(isn't this always the case?). The band [...]
The time has come where every small town garage band can get paid directly by advertising depending on songs played directly on last.fm by their Artist Royalty program ! (Not download)I didn't believe it at first when announced this past January but only time will tell when the first reports come in this October. This is a huge leap for music fans supporting their favorite artists. Caveat is you don't belong to a online collection company that has the online rights and you must own world wide distribution. I'm no lawyer but I think US $10.00 @ .005 a [...]
