In the summertime - Mungo Jerry I don't know about women. More on my mind is this pressing consternation i should be doing something, making worth of it, distress over wasting another Summer.]]> text/html 2011-07-12T16:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3575932/video-yellow-ostrich-cover-mungo-jerrys-in-the-summertime/
Yellow Ostrich recently did a cover of Mungo Jerry's "In The Summertime" for the 7 part series of A.V. Club's "Undercover Summer Break." "In The Summertime" being a playful classic from the 702s, Yellow Ostrich changed the pace of the song with some hard hitting guitar riffs and a ridiculous saxaphone flare. It's pretty damn awesome.

Summer, Summer, Summer...it turns me upside down. Well, not really. I live in the Northeast, as I've said in the past, because I'm not that big on the heat. A lot of folks love the summer weather. Heck, half of them don't even need air conditioning. That's definitely not me. I don't mind a good dip in the ocean, but I'm not going to work that hard to make that happen anymore. Something about all these extra pounds I figure. My friends go to Cape Cod almost every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day and I just can't get [...]]]> text/html 2011-06-28T20:16:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3554148/mini-cation/
The concerts are at a lull, the weather is nice, and I'm tired of staring at computer screens. So NMC is taking a tiny break. Posting will resume on July 5th, hopefully the return will bring something new and fresh. In the meantime, I will still be posting concert reviews that I desperately need to catch up on at Sunset in the Rearview. I have been working on some list making and here are my favorite picks of artists/bands that you should get to know, or revisit, that released LPs or EPs over the past 6 months.

Are you afraid to ROCK THE HELL OUT? Have you lost what's in the heart of music? the soul, the feeling, the wonderful rhythm cursing through your body as your feet start dancing by them selves and the smile on your face would out grin a Cheshire cat? Witnessed last night was a gent with more feeling in his frame than I'd seen in a musician in a very long time, and more style in his little finger than 90% of bands you see flashing their up turned collars and 'oh my heart bleeds' tshirts in the 'trendy' parts of [...]]]> text/html 2011-02-11T21:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3196199/live-collection-the-smashing-pumpkins/

The sun was out today on this rather nice October afternoon, so I thought I should visit a song that was supposed to be posted months ago. In 1970, British pop / blues / skiffle band Mungo Jerry released their dbut single, "In the Summertime" - a song celebrating the care free days of summer. Admittedly, while it is indeed a very good song (and one of the biggest sellers of all time), the]]> text/html 2010-08-28T20:51:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2784393/2010-indie-summer-mix-vol-vii-navajo-bixby-the-drums/
We've arrived at the second to last mega-MP3 summer songs playlist/mixtape for 2010 as summer slips away, the days get shorter, the heat cools off, and people are planning fall activities; in the cafe, we refer to them as the Last Blasts mixes.

The homey DJ Pussytive from Helsinki hooked this one up just moments ago. If you live in the Helsinki area, get mentally prepared, I'm on my way. I'll be there the last week of July!

:: "Ronnie James Dio was probably one of the coolest motherfuckers in the biz ." Not that there was any contention about this point, but when it comes from Phil Anselmo's mouth, most folks accept it as gospel. :: This picture must be Photoshopped ; I was never at Sasquatch. Speaking of photos from Sasquatch, I thought the Shabazz Palaces dude was pointing to his belly button there for a minute.

So I've been getting a huge amount of songs on the soundcloud dropbox, and keep them coming I've already posted a decent amount of them and have more to listen to still. Well this track was submitted with no description simply titled 'Summertime Hot' and with the artist called Johnny Bug. I couldn't find much about this character, but this track is soo sick. Give it a full listen through to really appreciate it. It starts with some Mungo Jerry then MIMS and then even some Damon Albarn. Regardless if you know the original tracks, you'll probably enjoy this crazy [...]]]> text/html 2010-03-16T09:57:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2408164/under-grooves/

Put a scrambler or a hard tail in that picture and I'd be down for a death deed. In my head these two songs go together like bangers and mash, and one makes me think of the other as I recall riding with my dad in a 67 Buick Skylark, skin stuck to the vinyl bench seat with no AC, in the exhaust filled stifling dead heat of summer, down to the docks to go boating. It's not the memory, but the feeling that brings these songs together. Nothing is ever perfect, but there is something good about [...]]]> text/html 2009-07-18T10:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1866768/the-tsururadio-society-presents-23-days-of-summer-mixtape/

It's not most the biggest or the best thing in the world, but water slides and family make for good times no matter what!

Filed under: The Hit List The summer of 2000 belonged to ' Thong Song ' and ' Who Let the Dogs Out .' The dog days of 1997 would have been unrecognizable without ' MMMBop .' But the truly timeless songs of summer are the ones written about the season itself. These all-time summer hits are hotter than black vinyl car seats in Arizona and more fun than running through the sprinkler. 10.

This week is National Bike Week in Ireland (June 14-21). According to its website, it is a week devoted to "a series of nationwide events organised by cycling groups, communities and local authorities supported by the Department of Transport." These events have included inititiaves aimed at getting Irish workers to cycle to work instead of taking their cars, free bike check ups, and sponsored cycles and races. In tandem with National Bike Week, the Department of Transport hope to implement the first National Cycle Policy Framework in this country. One of its main goals is to [...]]]> text/html 2009-06-19T15:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1805883/in-the-summertime-when-the-weather-is-high/
All I can say is... sorry, guys. I've been nagging at myself to post on here for some time now, and while I wish it were some great tragedy that kept me from you, it was mostly plain laziness. I can say, however, that I was about to post here when I suddenly, devastatingly, and accidentally deleted most of my library of music (don't worry! After crying for several hours I realized I had a backup). That aside, here I am again. Hopefully that won't happen any more but I'm not making any promises. Phew, now that that's out of [...]]]>
