What better excuse than to post a few more swingin' and stylish tunes? If you can't get enough of that horn riff from "Hold On I'm Comin'", this bit of New Orleans R&B should do nicely: Former James Brown Revue and Johnny & Otis Show backing singer Sugar Pie DeSanto (Umpeylia Marsema Balinton to her mom) is probably best known for "In The Basement", her duet with Etta James, but she's got plenty of killer tracks of her own. Unbelievably, Chess let her [...]
All day today, we're playing celebrating Robert Smith's (April 21) by playing your favorite songs by The Cure and other goth favorites. As a genre and a style, "goth" is pretty easy to stereotype (see The Damned's "Grimly Fiendish" for a particularly campy version), but the truth is its influence spreads far and wide. Goth is a thread that connects industrial bands like Einstürzende Neubauten to romantic new wavers like Gene Loves Jezebel (though you'd never find their fans in the same room!) through all manner of dark if not mopey music. Gathered here you'll find indisputable Goth pioneers like [...]

From: Sheffield, UK Lazy equation: (Viking Skull - The Boring Bits) x (The Cramps + Clutch). URL: Website // Facebook Thrash Hits Verdict: We admit to being shallow individuals at times. We're far more likely to click a link to a band that someone suggests to us if said band have an awesome name. Similarly, we're far more likely to click away from said band with an awesome name if they turn out to be rubbish. Wet [...]
Much like a barbecue, The Big Game is a sociological event that can either rule with excessive force, or totally suck. The difference between a killer party and one that winds up being the most forgettable day of your life is all in the details. Since I have almost no experience throwing Super Bowl parties, [...]
Jethro Fox. It gladdens our bitter and blackened hearts to hear yet more talented musicians coming from Liverpool keen to explore different musical avenues and happy to leave the jejune revivalists trapped in their own musical cul-de-sac, drowning in a well of dreary nostalgia. Of course everybody is influenced by something, but it's what you do with those influences that really matters. Jethro Fox take his which he lists as ranging from 60s sunshine-pop bands such as The Hollies [...]
With Beavis and Butthead back on the air after nearly a decade-and-a-half hiatus, I thought I'd take a moment to offer my belated thanks to these two badly-drawn boys for turning me on to a couple of bands that otherwise would have escaped my attention. Even before MTV got out of the music video business, Beavis and Butthead were airing videos that would never have gotten any airplay via mainstream channels. Presumably channeling Mike Judge's musical tastes, Beavis and Butthead provided US viewers with the first glimpses of several well-below-the-radar bands including the Dead Milkmen, the Cramps, Daisy [...]
Anyone have any idea how long Southern Culture On The Skids has been around? Would you believe since 1983? Time flies. (Clever response: You cannot, they're too erratic.) The current lineup of SCOTS features Rick Miller (the one constant since its inception) on guitar and vocals, bassist Mary Huff and drummer Dave Hartman. If you [...]
Now that I have a great turntable and pre-amp, I've been visiting the archives to see which albums and singles deserve to be re-recorded and re-posted. Obviously, the soundtrack to Urgh! A Music War was one of the first on the list. These new recordings sound light-years better than my last attempt, and I highly recommended you download them even if you have an older copy I posted. I've talked about Urgh! several times over, so I'll keep the intro brief. It's an amazing document of a time period in music, when the punk [...]
Here's an unlikely pairing: A commercial extolling the safety virtues of Volkswagen's new Passat, and "I'm Cramped" by the Cramps. ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ the-cramps-for-volkswagen/5834 4/

Moullinex & Xinobi are in the studio again, and you know when that happens the eclectic, madcap, Disco starts to flow. The four track 'X Marks The Spot' single is out now on Discotexas and, if you know Moulinex & Xinobi, the title track is everything you'd expect. When these guys hit the studio together, anything can happen. We first heard this track back in April when they dropped it as a completely live demo, it's now been refined but is no less live, it's freakshow Disco, infectiously groovy and full of surprises. [...]
Happy Halloween from Discotexas . The two label founders, Moullinex and Xinobi got together in the studio and after 8 hours of "singing, laughing, whistling, playing bass, guitar, wine bottles and hippie percussions" they came up with a delicious tune called "X Marks The Spot". The single is out today, backed with remixes by Glimmers and Drop Out Orchestra. Check out the original version below and stream the whole thing here . Trick or treat? Moullinex & Xinobi - X Marks [...]
While we're not great ones for themed mixes on MM, Halloween is one of the exceptions we like to make. Here is a perfect mix for whatever ghoulish event you've got lined up today! Fifteen corking tunes, from the skewed new wave pop of XTC and off-kilter indie of the Mountain Goats to the trashy surf rock of The Cramps and from the folk-stomp of the Men They Couldn't Hang and the gothic drive of Ghost Dance to the pounding blues rock of the Scissormen and 22-20s . Enjoy. [...]

Young Digerati have dropped their second Halloween cover version in the lead up to the weekend. Next up it's The Cramps 'Goo Goo Muck' falls prey to Young Digerati's synth workover. This time around things are a little more Dreamwave that their cover of 'Monster Mash', maybe the covers are designed to be played at different times throughout the night and this is defiantly a track for one your Halloween part's in full swing. I'm sure YD are having fun with these! ♫ Young [...]
