This figure is limited to 500 numbered units, stands at 7 inches tall, and is made of polyresin. "It makes a great stockin stuffer for your drunk uncle," said Mojo.

The Patron Saint of Texas BBQ I realize some of you in other parts of the country (and the world) are still gettin' winter weather. Here in Texas it's grilllin' time. If you are in Minnesota or New York, stop yer bitchin' for a minute and see if you can get a whiff of my charcoal fire. Ah, sorry to be taunting you like that. Here in Texas barbecue is a religion, like football and drivin' fast. Barbecue is sittin' on the patio, a Weber grill smokin' some ribs while you listen to [...]
Reading Dan Charnas' The Big Payback, particularly the section on Yo! MTV Raps, I was reminded of how even a corporate entity like MTV had roots in such experimental programming. The rock corollary to Yo! was certainly 120 Minutes. The show checked out in the early '00s, but MTV has decided to revive it. The new 120 Minutes will be a monthly show on MTV2 with a weekly counterpart on the online counterpart MTV Hive. The show will premiere on MTV Hive this Friday and make its television return later this year. [...]

So, it turns out I neglected a GIMME TINNITUS Tradition. I didn't post my End of the Year Dump . Here is all the stuff I meant to get to last year but for some reason or another just didn't get around to, sorry y'all. But you know what? It makes for a pretty awesome mixtape. Listen. Downloadables: resolution of one (mp3) by guards (d/l the GUARDS ep @ Bandcamp ) Halcyon Days (mp3) by So Cow [...]
Don't you love to listen to music when you can tell the artist is having a ball making the recording. As I was thinking of the old days when MTV used to play videos, I got to thinking about the original VJ's and Martha Quinn popped into my head. Then a song about Martha Quinn called Stuffin' Martha's Muffin by the one and only Mojo Nixon . Mojo was a darling of the early MTV. Until he wrote a song that dissed MTV.(maybe it was that Martha song). Then he was banned from their high falutin [...]

I had been so busy preparing my birthday tribute to David Bowie that it slipped my mind that the Chameleon of Pop used to get his birthday cards on the same day as the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Yesterday marked the 75th anniversary of Elvis Presley's birth in Tupelo, Mississippi. Like Bowie, Elvis was also an actor, although the films he appeared in were merely vehicles for his star status and internationally-recognised persona. And, like Bowie, Elvis was a huge influence on the development of popular music. Of course, his music wasn't as innovative or original as [...]
Longtime cult figure and musical iconoclast Mojo Nixon has spent over 20 years on the fringes of music, flirting with mainstream popularity in the '80s with his mix of rockabilly, blues and bizarre lyrical content (See "Elvis Is Everywhere," "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child," etc.). After pulling a Jay-Z and "retiring" from music earlier this decade, the singer returns with Whiskey Rebellion , a collection of 17 unreleased songs the singer allegedly had stored on cassette tapes and re-recorded. Rebellion is pure Mojo, as the singer's raspy voice and off-the-cuff, storytelling style of narrative will [...]
When my alarm went off this morning my local radio DJ said something like only seven days till Christmas, and my mind went holy crap where in heck did this month go. The insanity and madness that is gripping the North American continent will soon be over. I don't know what it's like in other parts of the world right now, so I can only speak of present experience. This will be my only posting to feature Christmas music this year. Homercat will probably grace these pages a couple more times this year and then it will be vacation time [...]
Any Mojo Nixon fan will greedily scarf up this offering before it has much of a chance to get to know the shelf. Especially since this is out of print, although I do believe you can download the mp3's from Amazon or Itunes, I think. A fantastic example of what happens when attitude, rockabilly, and smart lyrics go out drinking together. Whereabouts Unknown came out in 1995 and shortly into the opening track, "Gotta Be Free," he is talking about having his penis enlarged, and later on, "Tie My Pecker to My Leg" is probably his bawdiest [...]
It's not often that an artist with as many albums as Mojo Nixon decides to give them all away for free. Mojo Nixon is def not for everyone but might as well give it a shot.Link:Amazon - Mojo Nixon Discography
For three weeks, you can download his entire catalog for free. Do it. Why not?
According to Digital Music News , in celebration/honor/whatever of Mojo Nixon's new album Whiskey Rebellion which comes out on October 7th, 2009 he and Amazon.com are making his entire catalog free for downloads for three weeks starting October 7th!! You might recall Mojo Nixon from his halcyon MTV days when he seemed to host every other week and his videos for "Burn Down the Malls," "Elvis is Everywhere," and "(619) 239-KING" played very frequently. He also had the video for "Debbie Gibson is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child" which starred Wynona Ryder as [...]
Jim Dickinson, keyboard genius and producer, has died . Born in Arkansas and growing up in Memphis, Dickinson was a member of Atlantic Records' house band The Dixie Flyers. This group - wheeled in to beef up other people's tracks - positioned Dickinson behind the piano for some great works. It's his keyboards on Teenage Head by The Flaming Groovies; on Spirit In The Dark by Aretha Franklin and - crucially - on The Rolling Stones' Wild Horses. It's fair to say there wouldn't be a Wild Horses without Dickinson's involvement. During the 1970s, he [...]
Due out August 25th, Jesse Matheson's, debut album "Pleasure Pounds" is sure to entertain. Jesse is known for lyrics full of fun and innuendo. An interview with CBC Radio 3 highlights that part of his inspiration for the title and substance of the album is women's body. He equates Pleasure Pounds to a woman's love handles, and food. Trust me, you have to explore this artist and listen to his music to fully understand where he is coming from. Nonetheless, those with appreciation for individuality and a sense of humor will love this release. Be sure to pay attention to [...]
Us older folks remember the crazy antics of Mojo Nixon from the early days of MTV when they used to play music videos. I discovered Mojo before he started showing up on MTV and loved his stuff. Basic rock with Mojo's guitar and Skid's washboard Percussion. Highlights from this album include Stuffin Martha's Muffin (about VJ Martha Quinn), Jesus at McDonald's, a cover of Alice Cooper's Be My Lover. This is out of print and if you manage to find a copy, prices start from $60 and go up from there. It's a sloppy, drunken mess, and I mean that [...]
