The line-up for this year's Goner Fest , the Memphis garage-rock festival put on by the label and record store of the same name, was recently announced. Now in its seventh year, this year's Goner Fest, which will run from September 22 to 26, is highlighted by the return of Guitar Wolf (pictured), the storied louder-than-loud Japanese rockers whose first American album, Wolf Rock , was released by Goner in 1993. Eric Fiedl, the founder of Goner, will perform himself, with The Oblivians (also recently reunited) headlining on Friday night. Other sure-to-be [...]
The last few weeks we've posted a few of these summer mix things. But one guy didn't subscribe to the whole 'fairest of seasons' spin we were putting on summer. Liam P. Manley thinks that while winter might be a bully that kicks the shit out of you six months out of twelve, summer's just the guy who says they're your best mate and then talks shit about you behind your back.
Here's an update to how to score tickets to one of the best weekends in your life. It could possibly end up like a scene in "Hangover", you know, without the crazy person jumping out of your trunk. From Matador Tickets for "The Lost Weekend" aka Matador's 21st birthday celebrations at The Palms will go on sale this Friday morning at 9am, PST. Here's the details you've been hassling all of us about over the last [...]

Hace 21 años Matador vió la luz. A lo largo de su historia han desfilado artistas de todo tipo entre su catálogo. Hoy, en su mayoría de edad, son una de las disqueras independientes más influyentes en el mundo. Han creado un festival para celebrarlo.
I had written about this back in April, and looks like I speculated accurately. Just not to the magnitude that I thought. Matador is going balls to the wall with the 21st birthday business. It's time to start thinking about the pro's and con's of the Palms Hotel and Casino. Pro-It's close to the In/Out Con-It's off the stip Pro-the Real World use to kick it at the Palms Con-the Real World use to kick it at the Palms We could be [...]
The New Bomb Turks blew the roof off of the place - pure rawk n roll madness. As an added bonus, after the show, there was an open bar serving free Bushmills ! Oh, and after the bands, the place became a LESBIAN CLUB. I'm talkin' hundreds of sapphic sisters getting down. Unfortunately, they were for the most part NOT " lipstick lesbians ", they were more of the "I want to look like a teenage boy" crop. Oh well, it was still fun to be around... despite the withering glares that J-Lo and I received as representatives of [...]

Japanese Appropriators of Poor White Man's Culture The Rock-A-Teens Woo-Hoo The racist rockabilly at the Irish pub does not want to be your friend. He already has a pudgy girlfriend with poor skin, a Betty Page haircut, and a nose piercing that makes her like a bull. He has a brother. His brother is a bus-driver. That's a job. A thankless fucking job. His [...]
Well this is just horrible, I have only been posting once or twice a month. Not very blogger of me is it. I'll use the excuse that I have been working very hard trying to make my sales quota and getting my bonuses. ( I really am just a lazy bugger and have been downloading audio books (mp3) like crazy. I do have a moral dilemma about this, I am only downloading copies of books that I already [...]
Me loves me some Sarah Palin ! She's stepping down from her Governor-Ship to "help America" or some other crap. I am personally hoping she does a girl on girl vid with this skinny, soul-less, evil skank . So, we get to look forward to the next couple of years of Palin's "punditry". No doubt, by the end of the summer she'll have her own show on Fox News (you know - the "fair and balanced" station); and then of course, the 2012 Presidential run. [...]
You're probably going to laugh at me, but I ate pho for the first time today. It was delicious. Super-spicy and weird and great. When you carry out from this local Vietnamese place they put raw beef in a little plastic baggie, and it is your job to very quickly transfer the beef into the piping hot soup so that it can cook all the way through. Somehow it works. It goes great with fresh spring rolls filled with pork, shrimp and herbs, too. Sunday is here again. It is time for another mix tape. I'm pretty sure [...]
Atomix Supplex ... Déf : Un son qui file a 200 à l'heure et qui provoque chez l'auditeur une soudaine montée de violence . Vous aurez donc compris, Atomic Supplex est sans compromis, un savant mélange alliant la sauvagerie des Magnetix à celle celle des Guitar Wolf, le tout expédié aussi vite qu'un morceau de rock'n'roll sous speed. Ne peut avoir que des conséquences néfastes pour la tête du connard d'en face. [MP3] Atomic Supplex - Atomic Supplexed By A Girl [...]
Autotrash Genre: Rock / Punk / Rock From: Stockholm, Sweden Swedish music is more than ABBA Eurovision, Peter Bjorn and John whistling, Cardigans 60's inspired pop, Ace of Base Euro dance and Roxette MOR. There's another, darker, noisier, dirtier side to Sweden. The side of The Hives , Love Is All , [...]

No one ever rocked the leather m/c like the Ramones. Thanks to this post at Strange Reaction , I got to thinkin' of my original m/c Black Leather Jacket. It was 'round 1983 or so and, being the broke suburban kid I was; I didn't have the cash to buy one. It always amazed me that the so-called gutter punks all had em... probably mommy and daddy bought em for em when they went back to their Connecticut homes. But I digress. I started going [...]

This post originally began as a collection of cheesy theme songs, but eventually grew into a mass of songs from the soundtracks of movies I love and adore. A good majority of them are 80s classics since I was born in '81, but there are some newer and older gems mixed in too. I had a lot of fun gathering them, since just hearing them brings back tons of good movie viewing memories (read as: makeouts). It also reminded me of how much I've always wanted the opportunity to compile a soundtrack for a movie. I have no idea how [...]
It's my assertion that the word "Hands" has now replaced the (some-years-old-now) " Wolf " as most-preferred indie band name constructor term (though, granted, "Bear" was a contender there for awhile). AIDS Wolf, Wolf Eyes, Patrick Wolf, Guitar Wolf, Wolf Parade... prepare to be edged out by Bear Hands, The Shaky Hands, Cut Off Your Hands, Hands, THE Hands, Hands and Knees... Obligatory smattering of Wolves & Hands mp3s: ::: Wolf Parade - Shine A Light ::: ::: Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position ::: ::: Guitar [...]
