NEED MP3S I really didn't like this show that much, but I tuned in every week just to hear the theme and see that outrageously awesome vehicle make ridiculous jumps. Oh, and to see her . . . The only T.V. show to have a pair of shorts named after it. Dukes of Hazzard-Weezer Duke of Hazzard-Blockhead (a tribute, not a straight cover) Just the Good Ol' Boys-Umphrey's McGee (direct link)

Hope you all had a good weekend. I know I did. There's a lot to be said about just chillin' and soaking it in, especially when you got Blockhead there to help pass the time with ya. He's mostly known for his incredible work with Aesop Rock but has a couple solo albums under his belt as well. They are indeed, the top notch .

Le passage à une nouvelle année est toujours l'occasion de se remémorer celle passée et de projeter de (bonnes) nouvelles résolutions...le plus dur étant de les tenir. Surtout, qu'après quelques jours, le souhait de bonne année n'apparaît plus que comme illusoire, dépourvu d'intérêt (la nouvelle année ayant commencé et avec elle les changements et routines attendus). 2009 donc et toujours les mêmes surprises sonores, la découverte de nouveaux genres musicaux ou de retrospectives auditives, de fusions innovantes en tout genre, de beats prononcés ou bien de mélodies calmes.

Most likely you've heard of boys noize (aka Alexander Ridha). There's been quite a buzz surrounding him. A friend of mine (John) can't get enough B.N. so I thought I'd do my part (So what if B.N's been blogged to death). His debut, Oi Oi Oi , came out in 2007 but his been putting out singles since 2004. Here's a vid for boys noize's & down . I feel like Electro, in very general terms, has gone in two directions. The first is more disco and poppy [...]
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. - Henry David Thoreau Amon tobin needs no introduction.. this is a long time favorite...and he's got a crazy flash website amontobin.com . Fingerbanger 1: Amon [...]

Welcome to yet another edition of Outloud. This week we are going to be taking a look at one of punk rock's great one hit wonders - Wreckless Eric [ Official Site ] Now I know what you are thinking how could a punk rocker be a one hit wonder? Aren't those bands and artists supposed to work outside of the system and stay out of the charts? This maybe true but in the early years of punk rock record sales were still important. Even though indie record labels like Stiff , Factory [...]

Thanks to all of you readers who participated by sending in your polls! You responded in exactly the way we hoped you would. In many cases, we were pleasantly surprised by the results. Especially noteworthy is the hometown love for acts such as alterna-rapper Brother Ali and Replacements disciples The Evening Rig . Furthermore, LCD Soundsystem being voted both one of the most innovative and overpraised albums is definitely worth pointing out (Ditto Arcade Fire). Unexpected entries from Ted Leo , Pissed Jeans , and MPLS-based Skoal Kodiak [...]
I don't make plans to see very many shows a month in advance, but a while back when I saw Black Moth Super Rainbow, Blockhead, and Aesop Rock the same bill, I added it to my list of things to do. I wrote about BMSR but didn't get a chance to see them at SXSW, so that was already enough to reel me in. Add in Blockhead, another favorite of mine , and you can name your price. Blockhead will be sharing the stage with DJ Signify, the two having just worked together on a [...]
