Well I'm back to posting after a couple days off...and just in time for Valentine's Day. I had to run out to the store last night after work to pick up my gifts, which included a stuffed dolphin, a nice little card, and about a pound and a half of chocolate. Felicia's been sick too, so I picked up some Tylenol Cold formula as well. It occurred to me as I was checking out with my pound and a half of chocolate and cold formula (I had already gotten the card and stuffed animal elsewhere) that it probably [...]
( Amateur Female Jello Wrestling ) The only time I've ever had a real one-night-stand was years ago on Valentine's Day. Not usually my thing, but I didn't really have a choice in the matter. She had cool tattoos. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------------------- MP3: Okay, I still like covers. Here's one for your V Day. • Cassettes Won't Listen - Fuck And Run A band's place in myspace .
Our boy Jay from Cassettes Won't Listen dropped a cover of Liz Phair's one night stand contemplations from Exile In Guyville and reworked it for the fellas with scratches and updated beats. Just in time for you to pile on the self pity on Valentines day. xoxo Merry Swankster Cassettes Won't Listen - "Fuck and Run" Liz Phair - "Fuck and Run" Previously : Interview with Jason Drake of [...]
Just in time for Valentine's Day...Jason Drake aka Cassettes Won't Listen covers Liz Phair pre-suck era... Cassettes Won't Listen - Fuck And Run (Liz Phair Cover) Cassettes Won't Listen's MySpace .
A quick scan of the I Rock Cleveland archives, will reveal that I've long been a fan of New York's electronic, rock, and hip-hop wizard, Cassettes Won't Listen. So, naturally, I was intrigued when a message came in my inbox a couple weeks back promising a special Valentine's Day single. Secretly, I was hoping that the V-Day surprise would be a cover of "Total Eclipse of The Heart," but once I got my ears around his cover of the "F*ck and Run" from Liz Phair's landmark album, Exile In Guyville, any disappointment I may have had, was [...]
Hey everybody. I'm feeling kind of stuck these days, and one thing I'm stuck on is Cassettes Won't Listen . One song of theirs, in particular, is fast becoming a soundtrack to my days. "Where Did Go" has got this line that just repeats over and over: Where did my mind go? Where did my mind go? And I can't get past this question. Don't get me wrong. Sometimes it's really a good thing when a song gets lodged in your brain, as it keeps you [...]
We all go through those ear plug moments where although we love music, there's just a time that comes in your life where you just don't feel like listening anymore. It's a slump that happens every so often for me, where I stare at the stack of CDs on my desk as if it's a mountain I don't want to climb. Sorry that this PMS (pause music syndrome) of mine has affected you, the readers of WNR. I'm doing better now though, rediscovering my love for music once again by becoming more involved in production and editing with [...]
You can thank our friend Jay Drake, the mastermind behind Cassettes Won't Listen for this little holiday gift. He's leaked Scissorkick his newest full-length record The Quiet Trial , and we will return his kindness by posting a track for you all. I posted a favorite CWL track a while back ("Lunch for Breakfast") but his newest LP may appeal even more to SK readers since its mostly an instrumental affair. Again, CWL incorporates the ol' kitchen-sink production mentiality, approaching the digital studio without limitation, insistent on filling the album with more hooks than a tackle [...]
What's that catchy phrase they have in the business? Try it before you but it? That's it. Cassettes Won't Listen has been one busy man this year. He's dropped remixes for some of the indie worlds buzziest bands like Midlake, Asobi Seksu, and The Diggs and next Tuesday, Cassettes Won't Listen will be releasing the instrumental album, The Quiet Trial. I've had the pleasure to give it a few spins and have found it, well, quite pleasurable. The mix of rock and hip hop on The Quiet Trial will likely bring to mind such eclectic samplers and producers [...]
MS fanatics have been circling their rooms in frenzy, distraught that our latest podcast has been held up for a couple weeks. For that I apologize. I will not, however, apologize for quality! Or sucker punches. Kid should've been paying attention. As anticipated, in all its CD-R length magnificence, is a not-so random sampling of the music that shaped the now departed summer. As always, the best albums are represented, the best tracks of sketchy records are liberated, and this time we've taken more pains to represent the changing music [...]
Gigga what you ask? "Gigga" the new instrumental jam by Cassettes Won't Listen. Jam, if you haven't noticed just happens to be the word of the day, and this particular jam features, a smpled loop from a vm backed up by a so fat and so funky bass beat. It sounds simple, but it's all in the execution, my friends. Oh, I'm lovin' this jam. Cassettes Won't Listen - Gigga.mp3 Cassettes Won't Listen are still working on that long player [...]
We would like to introduce you to Cassettes Won't Listen . When we kicked back, threw on the headphones, and listened to this artist we thought "I am unable to think for myself right now. I am listening though. Unlike those damn tapes." What did you think? Use a tag or comment to share your thoughts with everyone. Enjoy. Genre: Rock-Pop-Folk Label: Dope Lotus Source: [...]
For months i've seen these Cassettes Won't Listen remixes featured everywhere, but i've never gotten around to listening to these myself. Not until a few days ago that I found in my email the newest track to recieve the remix treatment, “Everyone’s Starting Over†from NYC's The Diggs which is on their debut LP Commute . It's a solid remix, and was enough to make me search the internet for all these other remixes from Cassettes Won't Listen (also from NYC). [...]
photos by Devon Banks The sixth edition of Beg Yr. Pardon was clearly the most fun I've had there yet, and not just because I've let myself be enveloped in its loving embrace in my role as 1st half DJ. There was a sort of hanging energy in the room there on Tuesday that has only peeked in previously. There was an almost rowdy edge to the room by the time we headed into the beer frame around 11, but it was always relaxed and fun. It came [...]
Last night's edition of the Beg Yr Pardon party at the Delancey in New York City was a real good time. Too good. Sitting at work today is no country drive, let me tell you. Now, our digital snapshot camera gets some great photos, but it's clearly not designed for high quality sound + vision. With that caveat, we give you a taste of Cassettes Won't Listen. Cassettes Won't Listen - "Lunch for Breakfast" [...]
"Wake up." Merry Swanskter recently interviewed Jason Drake, the man behind Cassettes Won't Listen . The two spoke about how Drake came up with the band's name, the live show, the blogosphere, the remixes, radio airplay, and much more. Speaking of radio airplay, I heard "Cutting Balloons" on KEXP earlier this morning. Read the full interview over at Merry Swankster. CWL plays tonight's installment of the always popular Beg Yr Pardon [...]
It's that time again folks, as tomorrow night brings us the latest offering in New York City's favorite ongoing indie rock party, Beg Yr Pardon . This latest version of BYP has a bit of an electronic bent, featuring MS.com pal Cassettes Won't Listen (recently interviewed by, uh, us), as well as sets by EZ Machine , My Teenage Stride , and Animandible . As usual, BBQ, baked goods, and an anchor leg featuring free beer are all prominently featured. Almost convinced, but wishing that I was [...]
Photo by Rick Purcell There is a new interview with Cassettes Won't Listen on the Merry Swankster bloggy. It's not bad and it has a few questions from readers that don't prompt as detailed answers, but they are kinda funny. Anyway, CWL is remixing tracks for bands all over the place, including Asobi Seksu, Midlake, and the one below from The Diggs. I think you'll like it. [...]
today's post will be short on words and medium length on music. it will be huge on me telling you that i am going on vacation tomorrow. but don't fret, loyal ydb readers, i have some wonderful guest bloggers filling in for me. now, i have to go take all of my shampoo, shaving gel, water bottles and tylenol gel caps out of my carry on, so i'm just going to leave with something near and dear to my heart: a selection of covers, just for you! self - what [...]
