Jack White 's debut solo album is set to be released on April 24th, 2012, however, despite White's attempts to stop it being leaked (including sending promotional copies in the form of vinyl records only), it was leaked on April 15th. The album portrays the jigsaw pieces of White's career coming together to create thirteen exemplary tracks. A wide variety of genres are covered in the album from blues to garage rock, including White's signature catchy riffs, and distorted vocals. Styles from all of his projects including The White Stripes , [...]
SINGLE REVIEW: We like our jangle garage psyche and this track by Black Manila called "Fiasco" is right in the sweet spot of all groovy things 602s. Naming their top 5 influential bands as The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, T-Rex, The Stooges and John Lee Hooker. These are some pretty big corner stones that Liam Ramsden, Conrad Armstrong and Gareth Hoskins aka Sun King are taking on but would also say something a little New Wave is ingrained too. This new track by them is less drone than the VU with more of a sculptured song as there [...]
Depeche Mode : John the Revelator [ purchase ] Son House : John the Revelator [ purchase ] John the Revelator, aka John the Divine or John of Patmos, is thought to be a different person than John the Evangelist, who may or may not also have been John the Apostle, who was definitely a different person than John the Baptist. Now we're straight on all the Johns in the New Testament. John the Revelator, [...]

Son House - Death Letter Blues Simply beautiful.
"Oh, I'm gonna get me a religion, I'm gonna join the baptist church... I'm gonna be a baptist preacher, and I sure won't have to work..." The great Son House was a religious man. He even became a preacher for a spell, rejecting the blues as the devil's music. But he had a healthy sense of humor, too. Son House - Preachin' The Blues Pt. I MP3

It's no secret to native Texans, but to all you recent immigrants to the Lone Star State may have noticed lately, it's F-ING RELENTLESSLY HOT OUTSIDE! With Temperatures hovering above 100 and no relief in sight, it's hard to stay pleasant. Heat waves and droughts like this one are so damned oppressive, and may make you just feel flat-out angry and depressed at the world, your fellow man, and especially those teasing bastard clouds, hanging there just laughing at us and our collective misery. F those assholes, seriously its thundering as I write this with no rain to show for [...]
"In the late 1960's, the Seattle Folklore Society and KCTS public television video taped various acts that came through town." Thanks to Mr. Dante Fontana for the find!
Another Wild Weekend has started on the good foot, as I just bought me a ticket to see Patti Smith play an acoustic gig in an Amsterdam church in June. I'm cool, so on to the music posthaste. Edition #56 brings you brand new sounds by the Futurebirds and Yuck, and oldies to treasure courtesy of Son House and Vera Hall. Have a wild one. Let's warm up with a track from one of the finest roots reggae albums known to man: In The Light ('77) by Horace [...]
The White Stripes played their final show nearly four years ago, on July 31, 2007 in Southaven, Mississippi, bidding adieu to a decade requited with rock and roll and giving every guitarist with furi
Rory Block pays tribute to the old blues master, Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Son House (1902-1988) was a Baptist preacher, prison inmate, railroad worker, and legendary blues musician. A forthright songwriter - his earnest, open, unmistakable style and message, have earned him a special place in American music history alongside names like Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. " Looked like it was 10,000 people standin' around the buryin' ground. I didn't know I loved her, 'til they let her down ." Son House: Death Letter Blues
I'll readily admit that I was in a bad mood when I put this one together. It's probably pretty obvious with the selections. The theme was basically a soundtrack to a party at Eeyore 's. I like it a lot though, probably mostly due to me pulling out some of my favorite late 90s indie rock jams. I dare you to not like it, but then again, I won't really give a smurf if you don't.

"The real old blues don't call for no jumping...They can name it the blues, but that ain't the blues. The blues is just by itself. When you're lonesome and worried and don't know what to do...You wants to see them, wonder where they at, wonder where they're going. Wonder why they ain't seeing me. I trust them with everything I had. I turned my heart to them with faith and belief, and then they get up and deceive me. Now you don't know whether to cut their throat or cry again. That's the blues, b-l-u-s-e." - Son House. (via [...]
Last year I drove into the heart of the San Fernando Valley to cherry pick some records from this guy's collection who was selling stuff on eBay. It was a weird experience, being invited into this person's house to basically sift through hundreds of records for a few I was interested in, while he sat on the couch like a slob watching soap operas. I found some cool things, a second pressing UK copy of In The Court of The Crimson King , some Mark Lanegan records, a few other oddities and fun titles. Then I came across this [...]
I'm still in recovery mode after my weird sickness bug this weekend, so I'm going to make this quick. I'm feeling a little bit better, thanks for asking. I spiked a bit of a fever last night but slept for almost 10 hours, and today just battled some sporadic chills and fatigue. I think I'll live. If I don't, oh well! It was fun while it lasted, right? Go read some other creep's blog. Happy birthday, mom. I hope you enjoyed your squirrel's paw earrings, made out of 100% pure squirrel's paw! You're gonna be the talk of [...]
