It's always a better year for songs than albums, and here's my list of Favorite Songs of 2009. I've stopped using the word "best" as that implies some sort of higher standard. People can argue that "Lisztomania" is not the best single of 2009, but they have no grounds to say it's not my favorite. Anyway. Most of these were actual singles, and the rest could've been and when making this list I kept that in mind. Singles are ephemeral; it's ok if you don't end up listening to them a year from now. But I think a lot [...]
1. Sea Lions - Let's Groove ( Yay! ) The Sea Lions remind me of two things: I had a cassette of Surf Classics when I was a kid that got endless play through many snowy Ohio winters on my walkman. I vaguely remember what songs were on it, but more than anything I remember the sunny-warm vibe I would get from listening to it. The second thing they remind me of is 7 Seconds, well, more like the mellow younger brothers of 7 Seconds, a band that got me through my high school years. [...]

Photo from France Has the Bomb's myspace France Has the Bomb apparently chose their name because they wanted something that when you heard it, you wouldn't immediately know what they sound like. It worked. Based on their wasn't sure what they'd be like, but since they just put out a single on Hozac I had a pretty good idea. Based in Minneapolis, but with roots in Chicago their sound straddles influences from both of those cities. Their songs have lots of scratchy, jagged guitars [...]
Here ya go, something for the weekend. It's the March installment of the the Finest Kiss Basementcast. If this is going to become a regular thing, I guess I should get a theme song and some back ground music for the talking parts. A real microphone might be nice too, one of those big foamy ones would be perfect. Maybe I should get some advertisers too. Naah, I kind of like the furnace as my background noise, at least until I sell out. basementcast : download [...]
France Has The Bomb blowing up the Turf Club with the Ponys Saturday
Srini Rahdakrishna talks about the Twin Cities vs. Chicago, sharing bandmates with ten other bands, and finding time for rock and roll around studying for actuarial exams.
France Has The Bomb Song Featured in BMX Video
Minneapolis' France Has The Bomb recently posted to their myspace blog a link to a BMX video featuring their song "Grim Trigger." The video shows late 90's BMX star Brian Foster performing, for lack of better description, a bunch of crazy stuff I would never dream of trying my hand (or pedal) at. It's a [...]

7" Review: France Has the Bomb/Tiger Bones
It's a split between two upper-Midwestern bands with similar lo-fi inclinations, but different approaches in terms of complexity and structure.
Weekend Checklist: Godsmack (ugh), France Has The Bomb, and, well, Godsmack (ugh)
Not all weekends are created equal. July 24-26.
Read What We Read – The Jayhawks, Hootenanny, and Paul McCartney
Today is (was) June 29, 2009, and pleasantly cool in the Twin Cities! While surfing about I happened upon this video by Simian Mobile Disco that really got me hoppin'. The tune is "Audacity of Huge" off their Temporary Pleasure album, and I thought you might enjoy it. That is, if you're really into rocking 80's [...]
Read What We Read – Rock The Garden, Lynhurst, and Jack White Blames the Internet
Today is June 18, 2009, and I tried using Worchestershire sauce on the beans to deter the rabbits. Don't try it, it ended up deterring the beans. Some days I simply don't find a photo or video compelling enough to post for the fun of it, and when this happens, I say to hell [...]

King Khan and the Shrines, Mark Sultan & France Has the Bomb @ Triple Rock Social Club
The Shrines sauntered on stage shortly after midnight to a completely packed Triple Rock crowd that was well lubricated and ready for a party. And after the initial opening musical introduction, a la P-funk, the man of the hour made his grand entrance to an especially rapturous response.

D.I.Y.
Back in the early 90's Simple Machines put a pamphlet that they called the Mechanic's Guide. It was a how-to guide for putting out a record and starting a record label. The guide outlined the steps it takes to put out a 7 inch record, cassette and compact disc and covered all the bases from designing the sleeve, to getting the tracks mastered and finally how to sell them. Back in the day, you used to have to write them to order a copy, now you can click a link and read [...]
