MORE LISTS! Yes, list season continues, as I fight with borderline obsessive compulsive disorder and an overwhelming need to rank things using a system that makes no real sense and changes every ten or fifteen minutes. Two disclaimers best just means my favourite, you are allowed to disagree without either of us being wrong. I've not heard every blooming album released this year. Onward then, to the first batch of my twenty favourite albums of the year. You can find a bunch of other albums I liked that didn't quite [...]

Last year, while sorting out all things Fresno , we acknowledged rock trio the Fay Wrays , who made our ears sting, if not bleed a little. It was good pain, though, inflicted with fervor but not malice. Principals Ben McEntee and Eli Reyes, along with various contributors, are back to bruising with the new album "Strange Confessor," which, whether you merely allow for a splash of thrash or feast on a steady diet of post-punk, makes for good consumption. Reyes may be in L.A. soon drumming for Rademacher (who are working on a new album), [...]
Fay Wrays - "When We Storm the Gates We Sing This Song" This is a reminder of (my) youth, of days when there was no need to pay any worry to the future. It's the sound of never holding back and always letting go; this is what it feels like to let it all out. Imagine an ominous, gray-painted sky decorated with heavy clouds that, before you know it, unleash a sea of rain as the wind tries to start a mosh pit with you. It draws strength from post-hardcore, agility from post-punk, [...]
I like the mysterious lyrics of this song by Fresno post punk band The Fay Wrays . "The weatherman I feel no shame and on top of my head there is a weather vane... The one with power well I am him. When the tempest comes, I'll be there to eat your young." If they ever make this into a movie, sounds like a job for my man Breakadawn(!) Cage. (tx to Gimme Tinnitus ) Fay Wrays: Weatherman.mp3 [...]

[Cheers to Amusement Parks on Fire's Michael Feerick on his birthday.] Top 3 places I'd considering going were I not going to thoroughly enjoy Admiral Radley and the Happy Hollows at the free Also I Like to Rock show at the Hammer Museum (consider that an invitation to join me; we can karaoke the mock-Schwarzenegger chorus of "I Heart California" together): ☛ Au Revoir Simone holds forth at the Echoplex. ☛ Wires in the [...]
Mike Mancillas is well on his way to earning an advanced degree in the Indie Rock School of Hard Knocks. Mancillas (also known by his stage moniker Malcolm Sosa) is the frontman of the band Rademacher , a steady presence on the Silver Lake scene for four years now even though they live in Fresno . Rademacher got some deserved attention for 2007's self-released "Stunts," and since then the band's uneven output has been matched by its uneven lineup, with Mancillas being the only constant. He's now working on new material — more "classic rock oriented," [...]

"My Drag" by Squirrel Nut Zippers , from the album "Perennial Favorites" (1998) - The punk rockers of the mid-90's swing revival released their finest work to date in 1998: "Perennial Favorites." This bona fide masterpiece is chocked full of flavors from big band to blues, from gypsy jazz to klezmer, from dixie to tango, and a little acid-trip/dream-sequence circus serenade thrown in for texture. One of the shining stars in this stratospheric LP is track 7, "My Drag." When you put Katharine Whalen's smooth, seductive, Billie-Holiday-back-from-the-g rave vocals together with a tango bridge full of bari sax beef [...]
