I'm going to see the band X on my birthday. I know they're old, but so am I. And they're not as old as Bob Dylan (who I'd still pay to see). Here's a great live version of my favorite X song, followed by the studio version (which somebody recently asked me to a re-post). X – The Have Nots (Live) (mp3) ( buy album ). X - The Have Nots (mp3) ( buy album ). Here's another great X song. [...]
Happy Leap Day to the world. I hope you're enjoying this arbitrary addition to the calendar. I also hope that you'll enjoy this collection of songs and gems I've found during the past month or so. Some of them percolated down to me through the blogowebs {way cooler sounding than blogosphere - or should we use interblogs?}, some came to me through email, and some I found on albums that have been sitting in my giant pile of discs to listen to {and don't even get me started on the thirty or so albums sitting as almost [...]
The former X-man turned Knitter turned sort of all over the place musical genius that is John Doe will be setting off for a few weeks of dates with another group of like minded weirdos: Wilco . Both will bring their repertoire of alt-country and folk rock to some of the more interesting tour stops one could muster, including Mobile, Alabama and Upper Darby township in Pennsylvania. Doe will be playing tracks from his most recent LP, A Year In The Wilderness , which found him sharing a songwriting pen a few times [...]
I nearly did The Top 2007 Songs From 2007 (like this insane post from last year ). I decided to focus on 27 instead (2007 minus the zeroes). These are the songs I think are the most well-written , well-performed , well-done and well-worth a listen. 27. The National ~ Ada There is a great chance, if The Duchess and I ever have a baby girl, she will be named Ada. 26. Great Lake Swimmers ~ I Became Awake I always [...]
We certainly need a good weekend of things to do that don't involve being engulfed in flames and covered in soot and ash, yes? There's a bunch of Halloween shows this weekend but don't let getting dressed up in Jack Sparrow attire hold you back from checking out some bands. Monsters Are Waiting plays a show after a few months not playing a show at Club Underground with War Tapes. Funeral Party,
John Doe was a founding member of the punk band X. On his solo effort A Year In The Wilderness, his sound occasionally strays into bland folk and country territory. But there are a couple of rockers... **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**

It's been a long time since I've heard a song that I can't stop listening to. The last time this happened to me was probably when I first heard Jarvis Cocker's "Don't Let Him Waste Your Time," but that one was in my rotation for a long time before I knew I was obsessed, so I don't think it counts. This song is my newest obsession; I heard yesterday it for the first time, and I've probalby played it ten times since then. John Doe feat. Kathleen Edwards - The Golden State. This is from Doe's new record A Year...
I really like this baby polar image that I used for last week's Graboid, so i'm going to use it again. I'm kind of bumbed out a little bit this week because there are a lot of great options to spend your time with, as The National is playing tonight in Atlanta along with Feist / Grizzly Bear , Battles and Snowden playing shows on Friday night Let's not forget that Bonnaroo is starting tomorrow as well. What do all these have in common? Well, I'm not going to any of [...]

Everybody around the station is in great spirits, thanks to all of you who supported KEXP during our successful Summer Membership Drive . An astounding 3500 listeners pledged during the week. Thank you all. I'm personally happy that my neighborhood, Ballard , retains its title as reigning Hood-to-Hood Challenge champion (pulling in nearly $60 grand on our own!). I'll be toasting the rest of you 'hoods with a frosty cupcake . If only everyone else were so happy. Seems like everyone else is in a fighting mood! The pugilistic [...]

OK, Fuck the Web Sheriff. I've just been using it as an excuse not to post. It didn't bother me that much. I've been a fan of John Doe & X since 1980. I remember taking a cassette of X's Wild Gift and my walkman and skiing all day to John & Exene. To this day, I still think of skiing when I hear "Adult Books" or "In This House That I Call Home." I saw them live in Madison probably in '82. They were great. Well John Doe is still at [...]

A few months back, I posted an mp3 for the song "Kjøtere", the first single from Johndoe's latest album "Dødvinkel". Little did I know, said record would go on to become of my favorites for 2006. How would I? Just like you, I only had one (albeit great) song to go on. So let us revisit Johndoe once again, this time with the song "Nattskift". Frontman Jonas Skybakmoen explains the lyrics: "Nattskift" literally means "night shift". It's a song about not knowing what will come later in life. When you get older, you seem to think a lot more [...]
A solo project by John Nommensen Duchac (aka John Doe ), founder of the seminal L.A. punk band X , primarily consist of country, blues and folks composition. According to band bio describing his latest solo project, " The latest chapter (2004 and solo record # 6) begins w/ a desire to make an electric record that is utterly simple, musically and lyrically. Not wanting to return to punk rock, “old music†makes a comeback in the J.D. vocabulary. Loving the collaboration of the last record, J.D. calls some other friend/guest stars. Over a [...]
