Free Energy rises from Hockey Night's ashes
After an unsightly public breakup, ex members of Hockey Night have formed Free Energy and wrangled the attention of DFA Records. But is it any good?
Finally, the dudes from Hockey Night just started a MySpace & Facebook Page for their new band called FREE ENERGY. Their new tunes sound pretty awesome.. Here is a blog entry on their MySpace which they started today.. "NO RANSOM everybody grab a buddy there's a party in the pool!!! stay tuned for more news, shows, a limited dfa 73 single, videos, mockumentary, recipes, safety tips, sound legal advice, sure bets, and where to go for the best deals."
We are happy to announce that We All Have Hooks For Hands will be spending the first week of March recording their new album in Minneapolis with Dustin Miller (Hockey Night, Mason Jennings) and will mix it in April with Ian Pelicci (Deerhoof) at Tiny Telephone studios in San Francisco. Music in the Office: *MP3: Deerhoof - "Basketball" *MP3: Hockey Night - "Grim Break"

The other night, I saw The Unborn . It was bad, just like anyone would expect. However, there was one redeeming aspect of the movie. At about the one-hour mark, Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Harry Potter, Fifth Element, JFK) appeared in the form of a liberal and free-thinking rabbi. I was absolutely pleasantly surprised; in fact, I gave my friend a wee silent cheer. Rarely there is a movie I can disagree with that features Mr. Oldman and his wonderful accent. But as the movie progressed, my mind began to wonder. I began to question why [...]

Two battling LARPERS were caught on camera by Google Street View. I'm not kidding. Check it out here . After laughing for a good spell, I began to think about LARPing , and what it could mean to me: you know, the swords, the shields, the never-ending lore. So, I put a mix together of songs that I would pipe into my medieval helmet whilst I don the appropriate garb, wield a battle axe, and smite my enemies. Please, imagine a montage of me running through fields with a sword slaying some shit up while [...]

Alright here are a couple I jacked from Gorilla Vs. Bear. The first one is from a band I've never heard of before, Hockey Night (in the pic), but apparently they're working on an album with James Murphy from LCD Soundsytem, so I'm down. The other two are from an Austin-based band called Harlem. I didn't expect much, but it's got a good garage rock feel to it.

This is some of the best news I've ever heard: one of my longtie favorite under the radar bands has been Hockey Night , I fell in love with them after hearing their song For Guys Eyes Only several years ago, which has been a staple on all of my summer playlists since that moment. Well, sadly Hockey Night is not band any longer, but they have formed a "classic rock" band with LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy! This combination of greatness is surely to yeild nothing but excellence. [...]

I walked out the door today to sunny skies and a temperature in the mid-seventies. I couldn't be happier!

Here's a group of guys from Minneapolis who don't seem to take themselves too seriously but they obviously know how to engineer a solid jam. In an unconventional move the band is made up of two guitarists accompanied by dual drummers. While I don't know how much character this lineup adds to Hockey Night's sound, it definitely doesn't hurt... (more...)

I remember very vividly the first time I heard Dinosaur Jr's record You're Living all Over me . It was some number of years ago when I first heard what can only be described as the most awesomely trashy wall of sound ever created by any three human beings ever. If you haven't seen DJR live you don't really understand what the meaning of the word 'loud' is. Mascis, Barlow, and Murph play with an intensity greater than any death metal band that ever tried to be heavy but then you realize there are these amazing melodies coming out [...]

(Photo: Denis O'Regan) Welcome to Part 2 of what will probably be a trilogy of posts in tribute to the late, great rockers Thin Lizzy. In the next couple of days, I'll be finishing up what should amount to a CD mixer full of great Lizzy tunes. The difficulty factor for me is that I will be intentionally leaving out the band's two biggest hits, "Jailbreak" and "Boys are Back in Town." If you don't already have those tunes, you should really just pony up the two bucks they would cost you on [...]

I posted a track by Hockey Night many months ago, placing them next to a post about Thin Lizzy. As it turns out, these guys are way into the Lizzy and their new album looks like it will trading in their faux-Pavement moves for a more arena-rock oriented style. Very pleasing to one such as myself. The band was kind enough to send me a few demos from their upcoming album (but forgot to put me on the guest list to their show at Cakeshop! Bastards.) Anyway, they rocked that little basement as it was meant to be rocked: with [...]

Themed posts are back! This is an idea I had a long time ago (in a galaxy far away?) and it just kept getting push into the back of my mind. It started off as just a themed post using the word Empire, but the Star Wars kid in me thought that I could make it a two part post. So, I've made a theme for both sides of the war; Galactic Empire vs. Rebel Alliance . Making the initial attack will be the Rebel Alliance. All songs in this post contain the word rebel(s). [...]
