wowza! i havent seen too many of the other lineups out there, but me thinks, and of course i am biased, you'd be hard pressed to find a better couple shows to check out while y'all are galavanting around sxsw. so with out further adieu here are the lineups to the two shows. also thanks to the sponsors, listed below, who helped make this possible. most of the bands can be found via this american music , if not their respective websites have been linked to. wednesday's party, btw, has free torchy's tacos!

i have not run across a record so difficult to pin down or explain than the bohannons' debut record, days of echo . its not a metal record, but it kinda is, its not a southern rock influenced record, but it kinda is, and its definitely not an alt-country, whatever that is, record, but it kinda is. from what i hear though, they are straight metal, but i am not too sure about that. its like lead singer marty bohannon channels geddy lee fronting some weirder band than rush, minus the bass solos, thank goodness. when brother [...]
March 17, 2011 2115 Allred Rd Austin, TX, 78748 3:00-midnight Sam's Town Point in Austin launched SXSTP ... get it??? ... 3-4 years ago as an alternative to SXSW. And while that is certainly true, Sam's is an alternative to pretty much everything, including reality. I've written about Sam's before (both here and here ) and trust me, the legends probably understate STP's many charms. Wally Grossman bills his establishment as"the friendliest little bar in Texas," but that's not entirely accurate. Really, it's [...]
While I was on hiatus I enlisted my colleague TruerSound to curate the monthly Feel Bad For You comp for our friends on AltCountryTab.ca . TruerSound in turn enlisted the help of RomeoSidVicious and his mad programming skillz to turn the comp completely digital, with it's own URL and other fancy crap. TruerSound also enlisted the musical opinions of other friends/bloggers/jokers/sociop aths to contribute to this fine project, to make it more diverse and shit. Friends, I present to you, the February Feel Bad For You comp, complete with it's own website, [...]
This pick has been inspired by listening to old DV One mixes while I rode around today. From Bohannon's Stop & Go , released in 1973. Hamilton Bohannon - "Save Their Souls"

:: Vanilla Ice will be at Glastonbury .

Please no. :: Past Lives ' van got burgled... in Detroit of all places. Detroit, you say? Who would've ever guessed? :: The more I see from Scion Rock Fest , the more I'm [...]
What's good, soul children? If you're not hyped already, all you have to do is tune into the frequency we're transmitting and prepare for flight. For today... Live from Souled On California... I proudly present the majestic sounds of the almighty KinG . Hold on a minute, though~ before I send this out into the funky universe, I got a story to tell... Biggie -style... A few light years ago, this virtual stranger named KinG (aka Sherwin Keith Rice ) asked me for some feedback on a beat tape he'd [...]
Sorry folks have had a busy few days. Will race through this for the sake of getting it done. All this music is awesome. Including this Disconet remix of a golden Hamilton Bohannon tune which many may recognise as being manically reworked in Oizo's Gay Dentists. Funky stuff. As I've said before, the most recent Disconet greatest hits releases have been right on the money - there's an amazing Imagination megamix sort of thing on this one too. Bohannon - Let's Start the Dance (Disconet Remix) [ buy ] [...]
So this song randomly came on while I was listening to something else, and I realized where one of my favorite electro song got its roots. Of course you could have found out where the electro song got its samples just by looking online or what not. Maybe I'm late to the game and everybody knows the answer to this quiz but whatever. It was obvious to me within a few seconds of this song coming on, and the winner gets 10 Bastille Love and Admiration Pts. (notice the first letters have been capitalized so you know it's [...]

Finally it's time for the third and final part of my Disconet series. There's not really much to say about these great discosongs. All I can say is: enjoy! Devo - That's Good (Disconet Remix) The Flirts - Passion (Disconet Remix) George Kranz - Din Daa Daa (Disconet Remix) Yvonne Elliman - Love Pains (Disconet Remix) Bohannon - [...]
Here's an odd one Hamilton did in 1985. It's follows his stripped down, percussive formula, but adds prominent strange little sounds to the mix. This is the first of many scores from Tequila Sunrise's excellent 50 cent sale that I will be posting. Also, if you need more Bohannon, don't forget the mix I posted last April. Bohannon - South Africa (With Vocal And Rhythm Mix) Zshare | YSI | 320 kbps
Get on up, and give yourself a thrill. The economy sucks, but you can dance all night if you want to. Hamilton Bohannon was born in Georgia. After touring with Stevie Wonder behind the drums, he moved to Detroit when he became a band leader and arranger for Motown Records through the late 60's to early 70's. Bohannon became a major force in disco music when he started producing tracks under his own name. This track is like a 6 and a half minute build up. The disco stomp meets a B3 and a nasty bass synth [...]
Is Inside Out one of the saddest songs that the usually joyous genre of disco ever threw out? Garry Mulholland wrote a fantastic summary of its lyrical content in his book " This is Uncool: The 500 Greatest Singles Since Punk and Disco ".

A force de le croiser un peu partout et de discuter musique avec lui, il était temps de convier l'editeur Pilooski du crew D-I-R-T-Y sur Get The Curse. Pour lui, faire un Raw Material revient juste à faire sa playliste du moment. C'est aussi simple que ça. Et c'est pas pour autant que j'ai [...]

Been slackin' lately, having too much fun watching Lost and The Wire and getting into Alex Ross' The Rest Is Noise (no doubt the subject of a future post) ... for now here's some smooth late 70s funk to keep the weekend mellow ... Love Unlimited Orchestra - "Strange Games & Things" Bohannon - "Save Their Souls" [...]
