Auf "Rad Times Xpress IV" besticken sich Black Bananas die Rockerweste neu mit genrefremden Sounds. Zusammen mit ihrem Freund Neil Hagerty gründet Jennifer Herrema in der Blüte ihrer Teenie-Jahre eine Band. Als Royal Trux bringt das Paar zehn Alben heraus, seit der Auflösung 2001 macht Herrema unter dem Namen RTX ihr eigenes Ding. Vielleicht war es einfach mal wieder Zeit für eine Veränderung, seit letztem November heissen RTX Black Bananas , sonst ändert sich nix. Zumindest von der Ausgangslage her nicht. [...]
In a recent interview with Pitchfork, Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux and RTX (now Black Bananas ) fame teased some new details about the long-delayed Avalanches release. Not only did Herrema team up with the Australian band to write lyrics for a new song titled "The Stepkids", but Herrema also told Pitchfork, "They said the album is definitely going to come out this year. And I heard [...]

The late standup legend Mitch Hedberg once explained how bananas were the opposite of traffic lights: "With a traffic light, green means go, yellow means slow down, and red means stop.
Influential rock duo Royal Trux originally released the sprawling triple LP "Singles, Live, Unreleased " upon their return to Drag City back in 1997 after a breif stint on the major label Virgin Records. The 32 track collection has been out of print for years, but will be re-released by Drag City on November 8th. You can preorder the collection now directly from the label for $25 here . Check out the bands cover of Nick Drake's "Suicide Is Painless" (AKA the M*A*S*H theme song) from the collection in the video below!
Tweeted by David Pajo , here's 53 minutes or so of Royal Trux live circa 1998 that sounds pretty fantastic. <!-- <!-- <!--
When blues inflected, scuzzy, frankly balls-out rock'n'roll came into prominence on the back of the White Stripes wave in the first third of the last decade, Royal Trux would often be referred to as one of the prefiguring bands from the previous decade who didn't gain their dues despite playing much the same way. Well, that's as maybe for posterity's sake. Revisiting their first four albums to look for pointers, though, is a tricker proposition. Here we find the formulation of a sound collage in which bluesy FM rock, Stooges heavy riffs, Velvets narco-noise and free jazz chaos [...]
Some advice for the kids going back to school. Rae Spoon has a new album and it is essential. I attended a Geist Magazine writing workshop led by Sheila Heti . The workshop was about making fiction from real life, and I don't know. I'm glad I went. I really enjoyed the passage Heti read from How A Person Should Be , her upcoming novel, and it was nice to devote a morning to thinking about writing. So yeah, I'm still bummed [...]
When Brad said he wanted to learn a musical instrument, Donna said nothing. When he bought the drum, she still said nothing. Now with that awful orange sweater and the maracas, Donna could no longer hold her tongue. Image: VivStrauss .

It´s a Wild Weekend yet again and I guess you all know what that means by now... Here´s another diverse bunch of goldies, with special thanks to the magic of the iPod shuffle. Hey ho. We´re off to a rather furious start with bassless Detroit garage trio the Gories and their highly inflammable John Lee Hooker cover Let Your Daddy Ride . Production: that late Memphis man Alex Chilton of course. Lower down your chariot, baby, and buy their glorious I Know You Be Houserockin´ cd forthwith. [...]
Vi avevamo già annunciato l'uscita di "Congratulations", il prossimo album degli MGMT . Il duo newyorkese si fa attendere dal 2007, ma promette di tornare sulle scene il 13 aprile con un disco fenomenale. "Congratulations" è stato registrato a Malibu e prodotto da Peter Kember. Kember è più noto con il nome di Sonic Boom ed è uno dei membri fondatori degli Spacemen 3 , storica band shoegaze di pop psichedelico inglese. Per registrare le voci femminili, Ben Goldwasser e Andrew VanWyngarden (questi, al secolo, i nomi dei due MGMT ) [...]

"You wanna go see Pavement with me?" This question was directed towards me within 5 minutes of entering my friend's house, by a girl who I had just been introduced to. She was roommates with my friend Manny - one of 3 girls that he was sharing a house with in Atlanta. One of the other girls was (very) pregnant, dating a cop, and smoking weed with him in the back bedroom. The third girl ended up sleeping with my friend Casey , after an evening of heavy malt-liquor drinking and the theatrical recital of [...]
Royal Trux - Mercury label: Domino year: 1994 side a: Mercury side b: Shockwave Rider Could it get more nineties-indie than this? I don't think so. I don't know why but even though I really like Royal Trux (because I was very, very much into nineties-indie), this is the only Royal Trux/RTX record I own. Time for some catching up. Or is it? Video of Royal Trux being very nineties-indie whilst doing various station calls .
Best new band of the week is Ausin's Harlem . Here's them doing a quality version of Royal Trux's 'Junkie Nurse'. Harlem - Junkie Nurse
oke, gini ceritanya; kemarin entah kenapa, saya tiba-tiba dengerin lagi Holiday in Cambodia's Dead Kennedys, Search and Destroy's The Stooges, dan Wasted's Black Flag, tiba tiba saya nyadar ada yang hilang. apa itu?, JON SPENCER SHIT!. arghhh, mamang Jon Spencer ini emang rrruar biasa lah kalau menurut saya. Karya-karya dia kedengeran kayak angin gelebeg kena muka, dasyat abis gimana gituch ne'. Melejit lewat Blues Explosions, Jon Spencer sebelumnya lebih dikenal di scene noise dan punk era 80s dan early 90s lewat Pussy Galore, dan Royal Trux. Sebenernya saya juga taunya Pussy Galore duluan dari si ngkud, baru kesininya saya denger [...]
In the eighteenth century it was often convenient to regard man as a clockwork automaton. In the nineteenth century, with Newtonian physics pretty well assimilated and a lot of work in thermodynamics going on, man was looked on more as a heat-engine, about 40 per cent efficient. Now in the twentieth century, with nuclear and subatomic particles a going thing, man had become something which absorbs X-rays, gamma rays and neutrons. It may be that the civil servants of the future will not be accredited unless they first receive a degree in brain surgery. - [...]
