SHOW PREVIEW: Beware this is celebratory and shameless plug for a bunch bands that used to play The Court Tavern in New Brunswick, New Jersey a whole fuckin' bunch. Before the Gaslight Anthem & Screaming Females there were these bands who played this juke joint more times than these bands can collectively count. The Court Tavern was our local version of CBGB's situated in downtown New Brunswick. Forever, this was the venue of choice to see a band live where chromosomes and some DNA floated around freely. Wasn't too big or too small but basically [...]

oh happy fucking monday! not sure where i got my hands on this little nugget, but its a promo that warner brothers and reprise released back in 92 or 93, i believe. it collects what were a bunch of tracks that werent commercially available at the time, but i am sure now are. so posting this one is like playing online casino games , its a crap shoot. anyway, this is what the folks that put it together had to say, at the time, about this "collectors" promo. "When you see it a few years from now, [...]
WHO: It's not a huge trade secret or maybe it is that I work for a pretty big advertising company. You can follow my every madman move on the twitters if you want. WHERE: Over the past year I've been working on this original creative content series called Create or Else that lives on a youtube channel and focuses on artists, creators and people who basically do some interesting shit. WHEN: We revealed the channel last year in Cannes France and now we're in the running to win [...]

Numerology is one of those real weirdo sciences based on some sort of mathematical religion I won't even begin to understand. What does interest me though is that our time on this giant landfill is limited so when there is a awesome calendar that ends on 2012 you have to begin to wonder what the Mayans knew? What is going to happen from a year from now? Obviously their civilization did not stick around or maybe they just got on the good ship, put on their sneakers and got out of Dodge. Whatever the reason when ever there are songs [...]

As the year and this decade winds down it's a new habit in my life to see who's passed on to the other side. Morbid I know but at the same time it gives me inspiration to enjoy interacting with my own family when I can and everyday extraordinary people. Someone once said to treat every moment and thing as it happens as a minor miracle. The musicians music people listed here either touched some aspect of music and if you take a moment to appreciate their achievements through to their demise. Their existence will have touched you too. Even [...]

The Box Social Genre: Rock / Alternative / Pop From: Madison, Wisconsin United States Mix together one part swagger, two parts guitar, several pounds of pop sensibility and one well worn corduroy blazer (you know, the kind with elbow patches) and you've got yourself The Box Social, a young, loud, snotty rock 'n' roll band from Madison. Formed in 2001 by high [...]
"I would have also paired up George Jones and a ticket refund counter." -- Tom, adding some visuals to the surreal "We Go Together" video montage "Okay, write down your predilection and then you'll tell me what it is after I say what it is." -- Marky Ramone, challenging Tom to guess his big announcement "You didn't say nothin' about the 1/8th notes on the high hat, how fast they are." -- Marky Ramone, lamenting an omission in Tom's critique of his drumming "You do Marky Ramone's throat lozenges, [...]

just an advanced warning that i probably wont be around much, if at all, next week. i have enrolled in a ccna bootcamp and its mildly important that focus all my efforts on passing the certification at the end of the week. whist organizing my cds for the ongoing burn-a-thon for the eventul sell off, i came across a few poster children records that i havent listened to in a long while. the strange thing about the poster kids is that i found most of my poster kids love was filled by seeing them live rather than diggin [...]

Radio Zero is an internet radio show that’s been running on and off since 1998. After a 6-month hiatus Rick and Rose are back and I’m embarrassingly excited. Radio Zero is by far my favorite podcast (This American Life coming in at second place) and I can’t even figure out why. The show is run by Rick and Rose of Poster Children fame, but they rarely mention the band. Usually it’s everyday stuff about raising their kid, seeing movies, the news from Champagne Illinois, or the occasional political rant from Rick (watch out for the hand of [...]
I love the Clash especially the song Clampdown but sometimes I wonder… What would the Clash sound like if they smoked 12 packs a day? MP3: Hot Water Music- Clampdown As it begins I’m lolled into a false sense of comfort, the opening bars of music are the same Clampdown I’ve come to know and love. Then Chuck Ragan's vocals come in. If the Clash sounded angry then Hot Water Music sounds furious. The lyrics are snarled and [...]
While going through some old CDs this weekend, I stumbled upon a brilliant record that I have neglected to listen to in years: Poster Children's Junior Citizen. Chances are, most people are not familiar with it because it never received the attention it deserved commercially, although it was praised by critics and is pointed to by [...]
Bombones "Stroke of Genius" (Freelance Hellraiser cover, by way of Christina Aguilera and the Strokes) I believe I jokingly once told a friend back in the initial heyday of mash-ups that I wanted to start a mash-up cover band. You can imagine how excited I was to discover this existed. Budget Girls "Glad All Over" (The Dave Clark Five cover) In my grand tradition of being very mildly acquainted with people who start bands that achieve slight success, I once had friends who were friends [...]
