Now that I've wasted so much time here establishing a few traditions, I'd be remiss to honor not them... Almost every artist in the history of mankind has at least one title in their catalog that is a compilation, a stopgap collection meant to maintain interest between releases (often to boost holiday sales) or to fulfill a contractual obligation. This is the former, a chance to make use, one more time, of a lot of wasted time over the past twelve months. Three years ago, I reflected on the annual, childhood tradition of [...]

Bowery Electric: CBGB's Exile X-Mas Jahn Xavier with Lenny Kaye, and Tish & Snooky Here's a very special Christmas Playlist treat straight from DJ Tone . Once upon a time there was a little club called CBGB's OMFUG which was owned and operated by Hilly Kristal. He developed a home where a legacy of bands that defined NYC's underground music from The Ramones, Blondie to the The Patti Smith Group could perform. Every month these wayard punks that defined an era of music get together once a month. Punks in Exile from that [...]
I'm having surgery on my foot this afternoon, hopefully the start of the end of my long national nightmare of 2nd toe pain that has driven me crazy since May and hobbled my ability to do any activity that involves running. So that's a good thing I guess. And I'm trying not to think of the month that I'll have to forego driving and generally be stuck inside to recover. The house is stocked beyond capacity with every foodstuff that Whole Foods, Superfresh, Stop 'N Shop, and Sam's Club didn't have nailed down, and there's been a run or two [...]
Minimal, Techno, House, Electro, Dubstep etc....Musikgenres, die das Blut der jungen Gemeinde elektronischer Musik in Wallung bringen. Man fragt sich nur...was kann da jetzt noch kommen? Die Antwort liefern unsere nordeuropäischen Nachbarn! SKWEEE , was in Schweden und Finnland durch die Labels Harmönia und Flogsta Danshall bereits große Wellen geschlagen hat, soll nun auch zu uns überschwappen. Eine neuartige Bass-Spielart mit zeitlupenhaften Funk versetzt, wird aus alten, analogen Synthesizern heraus gequetscht. Just like "squeeze it"..daher auch der ungewöhnliche Name! Zum Auftakt der Worldtronics 2011 am Mittwoch ( 30.11.11 ) holen die [...]
Here is a blues book from the archives. Squeeze My Lemon: A Collection of Classic Blues Lyrics Click image for info @Amazon.com Product Description - "They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad/Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad." There's a lot more to the blues than three chords played on an old beat-up guitar. Squeeze My Lemon is a collection of some of the best blues lines ever recorded. From birth ("Born under a bad sign/I've been [...]
Manchester Orchestra - I Can Feel A Hot One Grizzly Bear - Boy From School Hangovers are shit. Really awful. I don't know if it's because I'm not 16 years old any more but a night of drinking will inevitably mean having to completely write off the next day as I battle off nausea and waves of gloomy shit. [...]
Mazzi & S.O.U.L. Purpose "Squeeze Freestyle"... A visit to Tokyo, Japan results in a show, event, & shooting of a Quick Flick (A favorite verse/s, whether new or old, that never got put to video) while he's there!

Squeeze: 853-5937 [ Purchase ] 853-5937 is one of those songs I liked as a child and I can look back on and say I am proud of childhood me for choosing Squeeze (I liked their other single "Hourglass" from their 1987 album Babylon And On even better) over a lot of the other stuff they were playing on the radio. I remember thinking back then that when I was older and had my own phone I would want to sing the chorus of this song as [...]

It's been too hot to really think of anything but nothing the past week. When I have had a thought, I've been trying to reconstruct my discovery of Rolling Stone magazine. (this all prompted by the recent death of Bill Johnson, who designed the magazine's logo ) The magazine was not readily available to me as a kid. I don't recall seeing it in the limited selection in the racks at either of the small, family-owned drug stores in town. I was familiar with Rolling Stone mostly through [...]

River City Extension have just debuted a new version of " Letter to Lainie ", which features guest vocals from Squeeze's Glenn Tilbrook .

It's not common to see a band play Bonnaroo , the Newport Folk Festival , The Bamboozle and the Vans Warped Tour . Sure, maybe The Decemberists are hitting 'Roo and Newport) and Lil' Wayne is playing Bamboozle and 'Roo, but there's little over-lap for all four. That is unless you're River City Extension , the New Jersey band who's cross-over, folk pop-punky sound has garnered attention from not only these festivals, but artists of varying genres. Case in point is Glenn Tilbrook of reunited 70's British power-pop band [...]

From Dickvandyke: SQUEEZE – SOME FANTASTIC PLACE This track, 1993's 'Some Fantastic Place' speaks for itself - and we can find our own personal references within. Written following the tragic death of the lady who had brought Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford together in the first place, it has a fascinating arrangement - given the poignancy of the lyrics. As a loving tribute and a celebration of a life, it does a mighty fine job. Nowhere as well known as ' Tempted ', 'Labelled With Love' or 'Black Coffee In B [...]
Digi G'Alessio »The Brown Book« erschienen bei phonocake.org Da sprüht es Funken, wenn Italiens produktivster Beat-Akteur die Maschinchen quetscht. Kurze 'Hooklines' an ChipSounds, dicke Beats und möglichst freie Timesettings in den Maschinen während des Livespielens charakterisieren seine Interpretation der Skweee-Richtung, die seit ein paar Jahren als ein recht konstruiertes Genre und Mikroszene durch die Welt geistert. Digi G'Alessio ist eines der Sternchen in der gerade sehr aktiven italienischen Beats-Szene. Mit einem Vorlauf als MC, Saxophonspieler und Gründer des famosen Duos "A Smile for Timbuctu" [...]

UK punkabilly band The Hitchers, who sound like the bastard love child of Squeeze and the Stray Cats, released their first domestic disc, Tees Valley Deadbeats , earlier this year (Spectra Records). The band quoted " We've been playing our own style of punk rock'n'roll, with the ambition to capture the infectious buzz of punk rock with the fun and style of the 1950s rock 'n' roll years. " While this disc was previously available only as an import, the band and their music aren't strangers to the American shores as they have been written up [...]
