Ted Leo~ Where have all the Rude Boys Gone? The Specials - A Message To You Rudy The Slackers~ Rude and Reckless Jimmy Cliff~ The Harder They Come The Clash - Rudie Can't Fail Desmond Dekker - Rudy Got Soul
During last week's episode of the Office I got really excited while watching a commercial for some ugly SUV. "Why am I getting excited watching this car commercial?" I asked myself. Then I noticed that the background music was The Clash's cover of Pressure Drop. I should mention that in college I played this song so loud in the dorm that my neighbor started throwing her shoes at our adjoining wall (I don't know why she thought this would do any good.) MP3: The Clash- Pressure Drop (Toots and the Maytals Cover) [...]
The Real Roxanne - Respect 1988 Special Ed - The Bush 1989 Chubb Rock - The Regiments Of Steel 1990 One day, when someone will write a comprehensive history of hip-hop's musical development, I bet you that sucker's gonna forget about Howie Tee . On the blog tip, though, we got beat to it as Cold Rock Da Spot recently covered Howard Thompson (pictured above with cousin Chubb Rock making their own damn Grammy's) [...]
7 Means of Movement: Flying Ray and Bob, Air Travel. Eddie Floyd, Big Bird. Frank Sinatra, Come Fly With Me. Away and away the aeroplane shot, till it was nothing but a bright spark; an aspiration; a concentration; a symbol (so it seemed to Mr. Bentley, vigorously rolling his strip of turf at Greenwich) of man's soul; of his determination, thought Mr. Bentley, sweeping round the cedar tree,
they have a lot better songs than that "rudy" song. stop yer messin' around. listen to some good shit. The Specials "Gangsters"
It's time for the Friday edition of THEME SONGS . Most people I know have a special relationship with Friday, and so do musicians. There are a lot of songs written about the love and joy of Fridays, and I have collected some of them. Please comment if you like the mix or if you miss something, but before you start asking for The Cure's "Friday I'm in love", read my comment on Monday's post in the Theme series... Here are the [...]
We all have a musical mentor. Our parents always play a big role I think, and I've already given my pal James Strath quite enough praise on these pages already, so it's time to mention someone else: my cousin Steve. Steve is quite a bit older than me - about twelve years or so, I [...]

Pout Education Hour: a SKAndalous Musical History Lesson. OK, all you rude bois & grrrls, listen up. There is an infectious beat happening – one with roots deeper than y'all think that has influenced modern music more than one can even easily conceive. You might have heard about this sweet sweet groove, this lovechild of a genre known to the devout simply as ska. And you might be thinking that all my preceding words are superfluous because, really, what have a handful of punks really [...]
I caught about five minutes of Say Anything! this weekend. The movie starred John Cusack and Ione Skye, as a mismatched couple the summer before school starts. The part I caught was were she dumps him and he is sitting with a bunch of 13 year olds in the parking lot speaking to them like they know the kind of heartbreak he is going through. Then this kid just blurts out, "Bitches Man!". Awesome! Song: Bitch Artist: New Bomb Turks Album: The Night [...]
The second in our weekly series about old skool hip hop. Shane's away, so I am taking credit for 50% of this post, but hopefully he'd be ok with my choice of Special Ed. mp3:: MC Shan - Kill That Noise Considering I posted a BDP song in last week's inaugural edition of Old School Mondays, and I wrote a long-winded review of KRS & Marley Marl's new album, there's been a lot of KRS talk on the hill recently. And there certainly should be, Ack and I both enjoy KRS, [...]
My friend John turns 36 today. What I never realized is that he shares his birthday with Paul Hewson . Paul started a little band back in Ireland in 1977. Most people know him as Bono and his band as U2. When Boy finally came out in 1981 I would like to imagine that the following songs found a way onto one of his mix tapes . Death Cult is a reasonable expectation, as is, Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Specials. Black Flag and X were from a different side of [...]
