The random mid-90s alt-rock compilation; is there any better source for oddball rarities and bizarro obscurities? It's thanks to this trend of "let's package as many bands who we think the kids who like Nirvana might like together and see what happens" we have albums like No Alternative , with Soul Aslyum's awesome take on "Sexual Healing" and that crazy Carpenters tribute record with Sonic Youth's cover of "Superstar." Chairman of the Board , a collection of alt-rock groups taking on standards made famous by Frank Sinatra, doesn't have any classic cuts like those records [...]
To be honest I'm looking for motivation to get back into the 4 strings thinking. Besides literally trying to find the bandwidth to do it right with Eastern Anchors . I'm not sure why you'd need more inspiration than bands like Girls Against Boys for inspiration in particular when there is awesome tone, tube amps and distortion pedals are at play on every song. GvsB were a innovator in this spectrum of rock, however there are a crap load of other bass players who's bass licks are just as stellar. Kill the Sexplayer [...]
Photography by gimmesympathy ... I really really tried very hard to get excited. Not in a sexual way of course (because everyone knows that ain't a problem *wagga wagga*), but in a musical way. But still no luck in that department. I do have some new stuff in my iTunes worth blabbing about, but well, you know, it ain't working out for me. So it's time for episode number 5 in my series of old crap in new jackets, also known as Peanut's Forgotten Classics ! Girls Against Boys - House Of GVSB [...]
Louisville's Coliseum has a new album, House With a Curse , out today. And in honor of the hellacious record's release, frontman Ryan Patterson is taking the reigns of Buzzgrinder today. This video has circulated around on the VHS trader circuit for over twenty years now, I was very excited to get a DVD copy recently. When people talk about "heavy" music these days, they are way off base. This is what heavy means to me. Ignition guitarist Chris Bald [...]
Flight of The Conchords I'm keeping up my glacial pace of one post per month, so here's some songs to keep you sated.

Here we are, back at 1994 when the punk was punk and the grunge was grungy. The mid '90s was a hell of a time for film soundtracks to be perfectly honest. Every musical genre was retrofitted to movies, seamlessly holding them together, sometimes by a thin stream of consciousness ( Lost Highway ), or other times when the film enhanced the sounds of a depicted era ( Singles , The Crow ). Somewhere in the shuffle of this decade between hair bands and nu-metal, a movie came around that not so much defined a generation but instead became [...]
Along with the likes of SST, Chicago based label Touch & Go was the citadel of hardcore / punk / noise rock in the 80s, with such luminaries as Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Killdozer and Laughing Hyenas filling the label's roster. Unlike SST, however, the label didn't gave up its original direction and by the end [...]
ah the psyche(ic) squall of fucked guitar mangling and the relentless binary fug and thud of drums, in step with heart thumps, in beat with beta-theta-waves, coarsing synchronistically with my thick bloody blood through veins and arteries right to my pleasure points. the pedals, dear god (oh so many pedals), laid out like a battalion of tiny [...]

The Girls Against Boys album 'Freakonica', and even more specifically the song 'Roxy' always reminds me of 1998. That was such a good year. We drank too much, went out too much,we spent too much money...but never we seemed to suffer the consequences for it. Good times. * Girls Against Boys - 'Roxy' MP3
"It's like if the dude from Leaving Las Vegas had a blog." - Tom, blurbing @APMike's late-stage Twitterspace "If I find an Internet café, and I have an extra little Abe Lincoln sheet of paper in my pocket, I'll fold that into the feeder and jump onto the Mindweb and lay a couple of droppings out there, sure." - Travis Edgkin, confirming that he frequently posts on message boards "I dig the claws in deep, but I dig 'em in gently." - Travis Edgkin, revealing the way he handles denizens of his [...]

My car didn't breakdown, when I am not working I am hanging on a remote beach, and I have a tan for the first time in about 10 years. It's all good... Now for some summer tuneage. Song: Beach Bums Must Die Artist: Thee Headcoats Album: Beached Earls Comments: A little surf and sand makes this a great summer tune to blast over on "C" court. Getting to think about Childish band's always brings me back to the one band he never "completely" disses. Check out The Mummies: [...]

Below you will find mix number four out of five that has come about as a result of EAR FARM's Thanksgiving Mix Contest . The theme for this particular mix was suggested by Deborah. Her request: "10 Songs by Sassy Magazine 'Cute Band Alert' Bands... and yes, you'll probably need to do some research." Awesome. I actually loved reading up on Sassy and digging around to find out which bands were featured in their Cute Band Alert column. Some great ones, to be sure. If I was a [...]

Two weeks ago I was driving through Beverly Hills on the way to...somewhere. I don't remember exactly, but I know there was purpose for my being there. Oh, now I remember, I had to find a Wachovia to withdraw some money, and it turned out the location listed on their website was a new location which was still under construction. So actually, there was no purpose to my being in Beverly Hills. If my wasted afternoon had one positive aspect I could glean from it, it was the fact that I saw a large banner announcing the annual Beverly Hills [...]
Flat broke, full-up on Astro Burger, mildly sedated, and with nowhere in particular to go, what else can one do on a Friday night but sink into a comfortable chair and enjoy a nice feature length film? I found myself in this very position last evening. After a slightly uncomfortable experience at the previously mentioned hamburger stand (where it was suddenly realized no one had any money to pay for the food), and a rousing (boring) game of chess at Psychobabble, it was decided that the best way to usher in the weekend would be to bathe in the television's [...]
