Before the storm, I was given the opportunity by fellow 'FMU DJ's Terre T and Joe Belock to engineer 2 sessions. Check the blog posting here for the FMA tracks of Ivan Julian's live set from the Cherry Blossom Clinic ! A mere 5 days later, Deniz Tek and the Golden Breed occupied the very same room and blasted out a set of 5 killers for Joe's Three Chord Monte program, which are posted below for your ingestion -check out the interview as well in the archive!

For this installment of Video Vault, we've got this high quality video of the almighty Radio Birdman performing "New Race," from 1977. YEAAAAHHH HUP!
The suits responsible for promoting the Indy 500 today have repurposed (as they say in the biz world) Radio Birdman's '70s punk song "New Race." Of course "New Race" has nothing to do with Indy car racing: There's gonna be a new race / Kids are gonna start it up / We're all gonna mutate / Kids are saying yeah hup. But, hey, the ad campaign gets an old band new exposure. "New Race" sounds a lot like a Ramones song [...]
The video above comes from Portland`s very own one-man band `Boy Eats Drum Machine`aka Jon Ragel who bleeps our radar this week, anyone who mixes turntables with saxophone, has my vote any day. Almost a miniature Roxy Music meets Breakbeat without the make-up, so neatly compacted into our post mod ern digital age. Refreshing. Ivy : Worry About You Learn More And Buy [...]
![Hot Topic: The Music Biz's Latest Savior? [The Biz]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1322826_lg.jpg)
One might argue that the last thing the Internet needs is another music store. But Hot Topic might have actually put some thought into its new venture, ShockHound , which at the very least does its competitors better by giving the consumer more than just "piles of context-free MP3s." At this point, it's nice to see someone at least trying to mix content into a sales model, and seeing credentials like "former editor-in-chief at Ray Gun " on the site's attendant press release is encouraging. "Our goal was [...]

Amateurs de nipponeries, ceci est pour vous. Teengenerate est un groupe de rock'n'roll sauvage comme le seul le Japon sait en produire. Sauvage. Teengenrate l'est assurément. « Smash Hits » sorti sur Estrus en 1995 fait office de best of. On y trouve entre autres, leur premier 45 tours « Get me Back » des reprises des Zeros, des Nervous Eaters, le « Midnight To Six Man » des Pretty Things ou encore leur version du « Burn My Eye » de Radio Birdman. Fun. Teengenerate l'est aussi. Je résume : fun et sauvage. Recette parfaite.
The one and only Radio Birdman will be playing the last show of their North American tour tonight. If you're in the Denver area, you should definitely head over to The Bluebird Theater and check it out! Founded in Australia by Michigan native, guitarist Deniz Tek and vocalist Rob Younger, Radio Birdman was one of the crucial forebears of underground, high-energy punk. Blending the Motor City sound of bands like The Stooges and MC5 that permeated Tek's youth, with elements of surf-rock, Radio Birdman developed a [...]
well, after years of half heartedly wondering what david yow, ex-jesus lizard and scratch acid, was up to my search has come to an end. apparently, he's fronting a newish los angeles based trio called qui. they arent exactly newish, i suppose, seeing as they have been around since 2000 but qui is [...]
#10 - Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not ( Domino ) Anche se all'ultimo posto disponibile, nella mia top ten del 2006 le scimmie artiche ci dovevano essere. Pompatissimi dalla stampa britannica, giovanissimi, grezzi, genuinamente pop. I 13 pezzi dell'album sono 13 potenziali singoli buoni per le radio, per il dancefloor, per i nostalgici dell'epoca brit-pop, per le ragazzine e per chi adolescente non è più. Aiutati dall'essere nel posto giusto al momento giusto, gli Arctic Monkeys sono stati sicuramente baciati dalla fortuna, [...]
The clusterfuck of music continues. . . "We Dance" "We Dance (Alt. Mix)" by PAVEMENT: The deluxe 2CD rerelease of Pavement's third album, Wowee Zowee , hit the streets a few weeks ago. I almost ordered a copy until I scanned over the tracklisting and realized that I, in some format or another, own almost all of the material. Thank god for eMusic.com, where I'd previously bought most of the b-sides from the likes of the Pacific Trim EP. It was just [...]

I made my way downtown last night to catch Ghostland Observatory's performance at a little venue on Congress called Trophy's. I left the show thouroughly rocked to the maximum and dripping with sweat, I don't think I have witnessed such a powerful force from a two piece band since I saw the Stripes a few years ago. If you have an opportunity, I'd highly recommend that you see Ghostland Observatory in concert. Another Austin band called LIONS opened the show and were quite good, more on them later. My alma mater is taking on [...]
