The 50 Albums Everyone Needs to Own, 1963-2013

May 20, 12:00pm Flavorwire
James Brown Night Train lIve 1963
No one buys albums anymore, goes the music industry truism. And yet, for all that the format's commercial viability may or may not be on the wane, sitting and listening to a great album from start to finish is one of the greatest pleasures that music can bring. Flavorwire recently got to thinking about how one might build a record collection if you really only did buy one record a year.  So here's the result of our thought exercise: 50 albums you really should own, one a year from 1963 until the present day. Yes, of course this mean things [...]

20 of the Flat-Out Funniest Songs in Rock ‘n’ Roll

May 13, 12:00pm Flavorwire
Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue
In an attempt to save you (not to mention ourselves) from the general Monday-morning awfulness that tends to follow a lovely spring weekend, Flavorwire has compiled a playlist of indie/rock/generally guitar-based songs that are genuinely funny. These are 20 of the flat-out wittiest and most amusing songs we know - and we guarantee that at least one of them will make you chuckle. (Note: we're discounting actual comedy songs here, so no Lonely Island/Flight of the Conchords/etc.) Keep the hilarity going by adding to our list in the comments. [...]

Hey Kids, Grow a Pair: How Music Blogs Neutered Indie Rock

Apr 17, 10:44am Your Music Is Awful.com
Hey Kids, Grow a Pair: How Music Blogs Neutered Indie Rock Donita Sparks of L7 For my birthday this past January, a friend bought me a book called Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge by Mark Yarm. It’s a collection of stories told through interviews with the folks involved in the creation of the Seattle scene all those years ago.  The stories come from band members, club owners, press members, booking agents, sound guys, and kids who just hung around the clubs.  Mostly anecdotal stuff, stories about rock shows and getting high in the parking lot before hand.

Not Released, But Sounded Sweet in 2012: Selections from a Year of Record Collecting

Dec 20, 2012, 8:01am I Rock Cleveland
Redd Kross - Switchblade Sister
Eric's Trip - Songs About Chris (1993) With our pocket computers running Shazam, Spotify, YouTube and Google, it's nearly impossible to lose a song due to a lapse in human memory any more. This wasn't always the case. In the '90s, my pants pocket often held one very important, folded up piece of paper. This piece of paper, it could have been been a bill or a piece of homework, really deserved a more permanent place on my self, one not so prone to washings, would have been ideal. For on this piece of paper was a list of [...]

Fall Fundraising Drive: Riz Wants You…

Fall Fundraising Drive: Riz Wants You… DJ Riz in The Rocket circa September 1992 ...to Power KEXP during its Fall Fundraising Drive ! Digging in the vaults, I unearthed this print ad for a September 1992 issue of The Rocket , featuring our own DJ Riz ! Back then, Riz was responsible for the drive time shift on weekday afternoons. What might you have heard? Well, I couldn't find a playlist for September 1992, but according to an issue of Feedback ("the only newsletter that matters from KCMU 90.3 FM") dated July/August 1992, the artists at [...]

[Introducing] – 3 1/2

Mar 2, 2012, 12:00pm Listen Before You Buy
Tweet The frustrating truth of so much exciting music is that well over half of it can slip through the cracks so very easily. Thankfully, some great sounds are able to be given a second life as well as the attention they so richly deserve. It is impossible to introduce 3 1/2 without first explaining a bit about Co Wave . Focused on manufacturing records and tapes, the co-op records a wide array [...]

10 Egregious Omissions from VH1′s ’100 Greatest Women in Music’

Feb 21, 2012, 2:30pm Flavorwire
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion
We recently took VH1 to task for including some fairly undeserving - and a few just plain awful - acts on their countdown of the "100 Greatest Women in Music." So, who do we think would have been more deserving? We're so glad you asked! Although it's lacking in many categories, female rockers were especially slighted. We've attempted to point out some of the most egregious snubs, keeping two rules in mind: 1. VH1 has limited itself to the past 20 years, so it's only fair to follow suit. 2. It's not realistic to expect a [...]

Las armas secretas

Nov 15, 2011, 8:00am indieHearts
Las armas secretas Por Bárbara Pavan Cuando las mujeres no eran más que simples pop stars y Melanie Griffith era el símbolo de todo lo que es Girl Power con su secretaria ejecutiva, en 1988, las mujeres comenzaban a sentirse intranquilas mientras una tercera ola del feminismo pasaba demasiado tiempo debatiendo cuestiones filosóficas sobre el sentido del género y miles de ellas vivían situaciones agobiantes en el trabajo y en el hogar. Después de años de lucha, las mujeres aún seguían siendo un pedazo de carne, y esto aplica también a la música. [...]

11 ’90s Bands We’d Love to See Reunite

Sep 14, 2011, 2:00pm Flavorwire
Elastica - Connection [Uncensored Version] (HQ Official Video)
We've been raving of late about the debut record by Wild Flag, the new band that features two-thirds of Sleater-Kinney (namely, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss) along with Mary Timony of Helium and Rebecca Cole of The Minders. The album is great in its own right, and also because it's the closest thing we're likely to see for some time (and maybe ever) to a new Sleater-Kinney album. Anyway, as we were listening to it this week, we got to thinking about '90s bands we'd like to see get a second shot — somehow it seems that in amongst the [...]

CSS organizes cooking mixtape With their third album, La Liberación , out on Cooperative Music this August, Brazilian electro-rockers CSS are in promotion mode big-time. But with their U.S. tour being over (for now at last) as of May 21st, the group is going to need a new way to generate some buzz. Proving themselves to be genius yet decidedly wholesome entrepreneurs, the five-piece have put together a mixtape entitled Songs for Cooking . As if the title wasn't obvious enough, it's a playlist that lasts long enough (just under 50 [...]

Want to give some equal time to the female guitarists out there, since I've been shining so much light on the dude guitarists lately.
