I hope everyone enjoyed their Record Store Day and got plenty of nifty neato keen exclusive records. I sure as hell did and in the coming weeks I'll probably be posting them. Until then here are some especially bitchin' tracks that I've been meaning to share for a while now. Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride (Steir's 1999 Ride Club Mix) DJ Rap - Good To Be Alive (Deep Dish Remix) Sometimes shit is creepy man. Not a week goes by after I mention how [...]
On the official website for Louisville, KY's HullabaLOU Music Festival , there are two separate definitions given. One for hullabaloo , which is a noun that means "Great noise or excitement; uproar." Then there's one for HullabaLOU , which (according to the site) is a noun that means, "A three day summer music festival July 23-25, 2010 at Churchill Downs Racetrack in Louisville, KY." They're missing another definition, unfortunately. It's another noun, and for HullabaLOU , and it's something along the lines of "a three day summer weekend in hell, likely filled with upset [...]
1969 represented the end of the '60s in more ways than one. While Woodstock has come to symbolize love and peace, the Altamont Free Concert destroyed the hippie movement due to Meredith Hunter's death at the hands of the Hells Angels. The Beatles started the year with their infamous rooftop concert, but by that fall, John Lennon had officially decided to break the group up. While Lennon was writing "Give Peace a Chance", Charles Manson murdered Sharon Tate and other across the Atlantic. In the middle of all this change and chaos, Easy Rider hit theaters. [...]
"You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I don't understand what went wrong with it." - Jack Nicholson, in Easy Rider While we're celebrating events of 1969 this year, it would be a shame to forget the movie Easy Rider . Perhaps the most famous road movie of all time, it was a touchstone of the era and a landmark in American moviemaking. You should know the story: two rebels hit the road to discover America as it was in the late 1960s. They encounter everything from happy hippies in [...]

Vampires might be trendy now but everyone knows that (were)wolves are the next big thing. Until then, here's a mixtape of what all the wolves are listening to these days.
Buy a slogan-printed T-shirt, get the song whose lyric it's emblazoned with as a free download with it? Eh, you know, why not: Universal Music Group and the Wal-Mart-owned UK supermarket chain Asda are teaming up on such a promotion, with four shirts featuring lyrics from Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild," Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town," the Cure's "Lovecats," and, uh, a Hard-Fi song. (NB: The shirt at left is not in the promotion, it's just something I found while searching on "lovecats shirt." There were a lot of shirts with similar sentiments!) Given peoples' [...]
Yellow roses weren't the only flowers sprouting in Texas in the sixties. Psychedelic music found a hospitable home in the state's fertile soil.
Okay here it is almost the end of March, I'm far from sales quota, like 100K, but I going to give myself so family time. if you're not an Ontarian it's March Break and the kids are out of school.

Quale appassionato di musica non ha le sue canzoni preferite per i momenti in cui si trova in auto? Da sempre c'è chi si sceglie i dischi giusti e chi si crea le proprie compilation, che se una volta erano su cassetta, ora sono in cd o direttamente sotto forma di playlist dei lettori mp3. Una nota marca di automobili ha stilato la compilation ideale per i viaggi in macchina. Trovo sempre divertente scorrere questi elenchi ma, allo stesso tempo, sappiamo quanto siano troppo personali per non creare dissenso. In ogni caso, questi sono i pezzi proposti come [...]
When I was in Ghana, my friend Patrick's mother sent him the Easy Rider soundtrack. He thought it a strange choice for her. I didn't see the movie until a long while after so I never really connected the music to the film. I always connect it with Pat's mother and Africa. MP3 File
Delaware, Ohio Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride
by David Klein Like perfect games in baseball, perfect numbers are extremely rare. A perfect number is an integer that is the sum of its positive divisors. Twenty-eight is the second perfect number; six is the first. The early Hellenistic mathematicians were aware of just four perfect numbers, and I feel a bit like one of the early Hellenistic mathematicians. I only know of a handful of 28 songs, (and most of them are far from perfect.) But perhaps, like the hoary number crunchers of yore, I am ignorant of a trove of pickings that will be [...]
sure, i'm talking about this tune. but i'm also all up in legs about the new rub board. not sure what happened to the hollertronix board . if don't know, now you still don't know, niggah. Steppenwolf "Magic Carpet Ride (HCY & Darko Remix)"
i've pretty much been obsessed with Easy Rider since the first time i saw it, junior year of high school. every time i hear these first few riffs i can't help but see them rolling down the highway. i say, god damn. Steppenwolf "The Pusher" PREVIOUSLY: Death from 4 of 300
One Crazy Summer is another film that was very popular in my household, as was the other Savage Steve Holland / John Cusack movie, Better Off Dead . Any time that movie was on HBO or Cinemax, we were watching it. It's a wacky, off-beat 80s comedy starring Cusack as Hoops McCann, a wannabe basketball star who really can't play basketball. He decides to channel his frustrations from lack of basketball talent into illustrating the perfect love story. To help Hoops get some perspective, his good friend, George, takes Hoops [...]
Well it's finally time for spring break! No matter where you go or what you do, the music has to be good! But what songs go with spring break? What tunes would YOU take? So I did some surfing, but search results for spring break were disappointing: iTunes = 2 EP's "Shut Up" & "Big Bad Love" both with six remixes each Google = lots of info on travel deals and packages, photos, road trips and hot spots Yahoo = the usual stuff; parties, hot [...]
