Triclops Genre: Visual / Grunge / Zouk From: San Francisco Since being formed by Fleshies singer John Mink (aka Johnny Geek, Johnny No Moniker, and, his latest in a long line of rather silly stage names, Johnny Known Variously) and ex [...]
In 1996 I was addicted to alternative radio. I could not get enough of it, listening to all those future one-hit wonders, buying their albums that I would later feel ashamed by, and learning to sing along to all those catchy choruses and wonderful guitar solos, had me by the balls, and so it's really not all that surprising that I would learn of another band thanks to their one hit in the late 90
Since I am too lazy didn't have much time this week, just a few random Christmas songs for you. Enjoy! Butthole Surfers - Good King Wenceslas (MP3, the new hymn of AA) The Legendary Tiger Man - Fuck Christmas, I Got The Blues (MP3, FCC-unfriendly, the Portuguese one-man band is supported by some foulmouthed children on this one) Joseph Spence - Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town (MP3, Spence is drunk with an out-of-tune guitar and he doesn't know the lyrics either, [...]
The Butthole Surfers were a very popular band amongst the skaters on my junior high school bus. I imagine that I wrote the Butthole Surfers name on a folder or two before I had ever actually heard them. It was that weird time all kids go through, I was building my identity and saw that the skaters liked the Butthole Surfers, so since I was a skater, obviously I was gonna like the Butthole Surfers....actually hearing them was mere red tape. It would be a couple of years before I had my own money and could actually [...]
(Deel 244 hiero ) The Guess Who - American Woman label: RCA jaar: 1970 kant a: American Woman kant b: No Sugar Tonight www.theguesswhocafe.com Ik kende de versie van de Butthole Surfers eerder, maar ook toen al was het het riffje dat mijn aandacht trok. Later dacht ik, zoals velen, dat het een anti-Amerikaans lied was van de [...]
Greetings from the land of the ill. I made the brutal mistake of rushing to kill the intense burning sensation which accompanies eating hot peppers with a cold glass of milk before remembering that my body cannot digest lactose. I feel like I'm on the brink of an terrible vomit-filled evening. Too bad, I was having a really good day. I hung out in Pasadena for a while, and then almost fell asleep in my notebook trying to write a short story. Have you ever tried to write something while half-conscious? I'll tell you right now, I started on page [...]
Today was the big chili cook-off at the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market. You're going to wait until tomorrow (isn't that the refrain of Silverchair's first single?) to hear all about it. If I had two describe it in two words, I will say, "Tears. Hair." I'm sure you will be waiting on the edge of your seat for my description of the event. Yes, there will be pictures. No, they are not good. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods [...]
Un mix fresquito para que uses en agosto. Recuerda que si pinchas en la cubierta, te la puedes descargar para imprimir. Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the city The Wiseguys - Oh la la The 5.6.7.8's - The Barracuda The Troggs - With a girl like you Stevie Wonder - For once in my life The Vestals - Another way to kill me Eiffel 65 - Blue [...]
(Below is a quick tribute to Bob & his Gimme Tinnitus ...) Q: Who has received the most posts here in the last two years? A: It's them Texas acid freaks -- way, way up at the top of the pile. piouhgd got the first bit of props ; and then last summer Rembrandt was featured. So it was only a matter of time before their 1987 album [...]
Yeah, yeah, you know "Pepper," whatever. So I'm trying to resist biting my fingernails. It's really hard because I feel this sensation on my fingertips pushing against the keys right now. It's the fingernails. I feel like I have strange hard things at the ends of my fingers and they don't belong. Oh, I left my thumbs out of this go-around. I'm trying, but if I have to break, it's for thumbs. So far I have fingernails, but they don't talk to me or dance or shoot colorful beams across the room. I don't know why I'm not [...]
Okay, this post is kind of random and odd. And unless you are die-hard BH Surfers fan or Tears For Fears fanatic it's probably not your thing. School's a mother, so I didn't have time to finish up some big finds I scored last weekend. You'll see them soon. Butthole Surfers The Hurdy Gurdy Man (Jim Melly Re-Mix) I don't think I ever have to do acid now, this song has to be the equivalent. I never knew this was a cover until about a year ago, how sad is [...]
Things have obviously gotten a wee bit quiet over the festive period. Normal service will resume soon (i.e. - the one-man group blog of the past couple of months...!) so until then here are a few places to get you free music fix (other than the plentiful links in the sidebar which you should be checking out anyway). A friend of mine recently sent me a link to the great Daytrotter site. This features writing, illustrations as well as exclusive sessions from bands, recorded live in their very own studio. They're not very keen on [...]
Yum Yum... I loves me some acid-fried punk rock (from Texas). Download: "Human Cannonball" (mp3) For a little bit more Butthole Surfers check out this week's Contrast Podcast (at 31:26)... here . This week's theme is great album openers , so you know every track is gonna rock, you dig? Official page is here . Myspace page is here .
I find it a little odd that most people (with the exception of retail) don't work on Labor Day . As Alanis Morissette would say, isn't that ironic? The name doesn't really represent the holiday as far as I'm concerned. Based on the title, one would think it's a day to celebrate working. Why would you ever want to party over the idea of working? It just doesn't make sense. And although Labor Day doesn't hold much meaning to most Americans, it's actually a holiday that's celebrated all over the world (but on May 1st in most [...]
Ok, these are bands that formed in the year 1982. After some thought, I decided to go thru every year in the 80's so next one will be moving back to get 1981. Some of these are pretty familiar, some maybe not. I am interested to hear ones you thought I should have included. I am restricting it to ten so obviously have missed a few good ones. Enjoy! mp3 Beat Box ( Art Of Noise ) mp3 Take On Me ( A-Ha ) [...]

MySpace Fan Page Although its not usual to hear rock-n-rollers discuss taboo subjects, Austin, TX-based Crust took obsession with filth to a whole new level, by discussing such themes as head lice, chlamydia and general pain associated with life at the bottom (with their traveling experience serving as a source of inspiration). The band also was [...]
