This is one of my favorite episodes of the year. I look forward to it and I think that all my anticipation has paid off. I had so much fun putting it together and I think you'll have a lot of fun listening to it! 2011 Artists of the Year ***Featuring*** Dessa Doomtree King Post Kitsch Me First and the Gimme Gimmes New Found Glory NOFX P.O.S. Rise Against Smashing Pumpkins Wild Flag
If you don't know Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, they're this supergroup that played punk versions of non-punk songs - usually songs that you wouldn't ever in a million years consider for punk covers, like "Mandy" and "Don't Cry For Me Argentina." I knew a dude who was way, way into them, but the [...]

So, they didn't have two of my top 10 (which I posted earlier this month) so I naturally replaced them with Me First and the Gimme Gimmes EP's. This is to vote in the Hype Machine's blogger category for their Zeitgeist 2011 (I love end of year stuff!!)

In honor of our once liberal and sane President deciding that detaining and torturing American Citizens is a good thing ... I'm not quite sure I understand why Obama is increasing his "asshole quotient", especially as the Repugni kkk an candidates seem to be on a "can you top this heinous statement" tactic. Unless of course, Obama is planning death camps for the extreme right wing!!!!!
McKinley High finally opens their production of 'West Side Story' and we get a bevy of songs from the classic musical, plus one number originally by Billy Joel for some reason.

Science Fiction/Double Feature at a deadly pace it came from outer space and this is how the message ran.. original: rocky horror picture show cover: mefirst & gimme gimmes cover: the dresden dolls every halloween it seems quite fitting to find the cult classic rocky horror picture show gracing your cable station repeatedly during the countdown [...]
If you click on the tag at the bottom of this post, you'll see that the Sing in Japanese EP by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is a highly anticipated release around these parts. So I thought I would do a liveblog of my first listen. I have listed the songs' English titles below and I will write whatever crosses my mind while each song is playing. I'm kind of wary about doing this because...well, they'll be singing in Japanese! If someone familiar with these songs could comment with some context on the [...]

Tweet We don't write about it much but we love Punk Rock. Though, to be frank with you, it's an on and off relationship. We get on, we've not fallen out, and every-time we get together it's easy, natural and feels, you know, right. But then we don't talk again for a while, everything goes quiet but we never harbour any bad feelings towards one another and I know the door is always open for me to return. Punk Rock is so kind to me. [...]
Five years ago today I wrote this . Yesterday I wrote this , as part of this project . My friend Tyge has compiled stories from 20 different people remembering their day 10 years ago. It's strange... after 3,652 days, and countless articles, books, movies, documentaries, and TV reports about September 11, 2001, you would think there wouldn't be much left to say that you'd be interested in hearing. But as [...]

Frankly, I've no fucking idea what Friday is this week. Between our Electric Circus gigs (yes, good guess, the second of which is indeed tonight, and look, only a fiver in - what value!) keeping up with the blog and the minor matter of actually trying to run a record label I don't know whether I'm bloody coming or going at the moment. One of things I like about putting on gigs at the Electric Circus is that I get to DJ inbetween and after the bands. It's much like writing a blog, releasing records or putting on [...]
So, this is the culmination of the rumors and the hearsay! Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Sing in Japanese I'm excited to hear how this turns out!
So, a bit of a follow-up on the mystery of the next Me First and the Gimme Gimmes theme. On Twitter today, Fat Mike (@FatMike_of_NOFX) said, " Can't tell you what the theme of the new Gimmes EP is, but check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =kVz6Ogfowjo&feature=related " So, I click on the link and the video is clearly from one of the Asian countries. So I'm thinking to myself, "Wha? Is this some kind of joke?" Then the Fat Wreck Chords Twitterfeed (@fat_wreck) tweeted this: " Me First and the Gimme [...]
So about a day ago, Fat Mike (bassist for NOFX and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, head of Fat Wreck Chords) tweeted, "New Gimmes record is almost done, and let me say its like nothing we've ever done before. I don't know if that's a good thing or not" And it got my mind reeling about what it could be....and I'm stumped. So far, they've done: Have a Ball (70's covers) Are a Drag (Showtunes Covers) [...]

Last week, we dedicated all of our Song of the Days to the more Super of Rock and Roll acts. There truly aren't enough days in the week, so we rounded it out with a few more tunes to make this most super of playlists. Never before have we pulled together a playlist with this much collaborative talent, and we will be hard pressed to do more going forward. Check out the playlist below, along with a brief explanation of each tune. The Traveling Wilburys - Handle With [...]
Today, is a bit of clean-up day. I started a new job recently, so I haven't been able to keep a steady update going...so now I'm playing catch-up with a lot of releases all of y'all may have missed. First up, a new EP by the Me First and Gimme Gimmes. Their first new material in over five years. It's an all Australian EP, in celebration of their Australian tour...let's hope there's more

I don't have a whole lot to say about this week's releases, especially after what I thought was a pretty thick batch last week. But if you want to relive 2004, you can pick up that new record from The Go! Team . Or if you want to relive 1999, there's always the new Me First and the Gimme Gimmes . :: Bobby Long - A Winter Tale
:: Bridges and Powerlines - Eve
