On Wednesday December 3rd, Dr. Dog will be taking the stage at the 930 club. This is one show you do not want to miss. Dr. Dog (from Philadelphia) have a psychedelic-poppy-rock and roll sound, that reminds the listener of bands such as the Beach Boys and bands that sound like the Beach Boys. I have been hooked on Dr. Dog since I saw them at the Siren Festival two years ago. At the time I had no idea who they were, and was simply waiting for We Are Scientists to come on stage. Needless to say, Dr. [...]
Brown F.I.S.H. - Bootleg III: F.I.S.H. & Friends... The Mixtape Brown F.I.S.H. is a pretty important group in Baltimore hip hop that I feel like I've never really given enough coverage to on here, partly because a lot of their activity predates this site (I remember seeing them open for Black Sheep way back in '02). Plus, they're really deep into a whole different side of the scene (roots reggae and slam poetry and live R&B bands) that I'm not as into, although I totally respect what they do. In [...]
Seriously! Why do males have to go about peeing on everything?! Can it just be as simple as, just because they CAN? Case 1 in point: Steve Lipiski , a New Jersey councilman was arrested for pissing on a crowd in the street from the balcony of a club while drunk. That is, he openly exposed himself, let loose a stream of urine in front of his friends and a crowd of complete strangers around 10:00 p.m. on a Friday [...]
(from The Witching Hour #49; December 1974) Duke, the Action Dog! When some woefully unprepared suburban adventures try to scale the slopes of Mt. Avalanche in mid-January.... Duke is there! When Mommy is sleeping off a hangover doesn't notice little Timmy's excursion into the abandoned Black Lung Mine... Duke is there! When the enemies of Freedom TM need a little impromptu menace to the genitalia to keep them in line... Duke is there! (Though [...]
Sometimes something that seems like a good idea at the time really turns out to be the sort of thing that could potentially end up getting you a latex glove in your pie hole by the border police. Something Port O'Brien knows all too well... Port O'Brien : Suspicious Band . I gave my dog one of those "treat balls" that you put treats in and it apparently keeps the dog entertained for hours figuring out how to get the treat out. It seemed like [...]
This week in the City Paper , I wrote a feature about Gearie "The Grench" Bowman of Sleepin Giant Media , a Baltimore music video director who's been making some really impressive videos over the past year. I've posted some of his work on Gov't Names in the past, including Heavy Gold's "Drug Dealer," 100 Grandman's "Take It 2 The Top," and Bossman's tribute to K-Swift, "I Wonder." You can see them all on Sleepin Giant's YouTube channel , along with other videos for Tim Trees, DG2 and WildOutCamp, and [...]
Rod Lee - Volume 7: Club Armageddon (Club Kingz Records) It's an event in Baltimore club music anytime Rod Lee releases an album, especially a new album amidst all the reissues of his early albums this year, and this one has been getting hyped up since way back before the new Club Kingz Music Store on Park Avenue opened in August . And like his last album of new material, 2007's The Producer , nearly every song is a Rod Lee production, [...]
Just outside a very old cemetery Columbus, Ohio Jonathan Coulton - Creepy Doll Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon
I have to say it. The sheer volume of music that is out there nowadays is almost maddening. Going through all the randomness that is considered music to find the really good stuff is virtually a job-or in our case it actually is a job, so aren't you glad that we are here for you? And because I cannot sit passively by and do nothing, I have decided to actively making my contribution toward good musical taste and the sanity of the collective mind by recommending UI-Approved, Must-See CMJ Marathon Artist Wild Sweet [...]
DJ Diamond K - K-Swift Tribute (High Rolla Records) Diamond K was one of the first people in Baltimore to put together a dedication track for K-Swift after her death in July, and now he's got a mix CD tribute to her. It's really just that one song and a few others at the beginning of the CD that are about or for K-Swift, and the rest of it is kind of a regular mix of new and old Baltimore club music, including tracks by Rod Lee, D.O.G. and [...]
D.O.G. - G Pack Music (7 Entertainment/Invisible Set Entertainment) Two and a half years ago, D.O.G. remixed Blaq Starr's "Ryda Gyrl," and while it wasn't the first hip hop version of a Baltimore club song, it was by far one of the biggest, and in a way its popularity was the main catalyst for my City Paper article Best of Both Worlds about the crossover between rap and club music. One of the things mentioned in that article is that D.O.G.'s main in-house producer, Sean "Mocca" Banks, was teaming up [...]
Miami bass, this video got me dyin'
Vu je savais pas trop commencer mon premier message, je me suis replongé dans les archives. Je me suis arrêté sur la critique du troisième volume d'Ed Rec et j'ai remarqué que Phantomas avait beaucoup aimé le titre de SebastiAn, Dog (personnellement, je préfère l' edit de Choreo ). Et comme je suis un garçon bien élevé, j'ai envie de cirer les pompes du patron et de vous proposer deux titres dans [...]
Hey all. I hope your Saturday goes well. Mine already sucks! I should've taken the advise I offered in yesterday's post. Whatever, there's been enough "whoa is me" bullshit around here for the last month. Here's the news. • Remember in Idiocracy , at the very beginning of the film (the only part of the film really worth watching), they talk about dysgenics and the dumbing down of America as a whole? It's not fiction. I've written about it so many times on this website that it should probably have its own label. Now TIME Magazine is [...]
