Swell Maps' Jowe Head on East Coast tour, including three NYC shows (dates)

Swell Maps' Jowe Head on East Coast tour, including three NYC shows (dates) Head is probably best-known for his time as bassist in Swell Maps where he wrote two of the band's catchiest songs, "Harmony in Your Bathroom" and the great "Cake Shop Girl" which did indeed inspire the name of the Ludlow St. indie rock venue (where he's played before). In 1984 he began a ten-year stint with Television Personalities. Since the early '80s, Head has also released solo records with various backing bands, most recently last year's Diabolical Liberties as Jowe Head & the Demi-Monde. He's also an accomplished artist. -[ BV, 2011 ] Onetime Swell Maps/Television Personalities member [...]

Music for bad weather and storm people

Music for bad weather and storm people Fuck you #Sandy the #frankenstorm . To hell with everybody who keeps ignoring global warming issues in politics and not trying to reduce your global footprint somehow. We're all guilty of this in many ways. I hope we survive this natural disaster and it does not become some apocalyptic scene. Anyway here's a playlist of a bunch of songs about inclement weather, rain, sleet, floods and snow to help you brave this situation. Playlist for badweather: 01.

Criminal hygiene rearrange your record collection

Criminal hygiene rearrange your record collection I don't know shit about this band called CRYMNL HYGNE but they have enough variety in their songs to satisfy most pavement fans, brit punk and the Swell Maps with one firm kick to the balls. I don't know how I do it but somehow this stuff finds me this way. Which is really is the soul purpose of this blog to make me turn on my bar stool. There have been dry spells at times then suddenly a few random hits and I'm in cheap beer heaven. Mangod I hope there is such a thing? I would [...]

Sunday Mix Tape Number 190

I don't have much to talk about tonight. I'm feeling kind of out of it. And by that I mean I'm a little depressed. Not in a "I'm going to down a bottle of painkillers!" way, but in more of a, "Jesus I need to figure my shit out!" kind of way. Though I probably wouldn't mind the painkillers. Anyway, I have a busy week ahead of me. I guess it's good to clear my mind of stupid thoughts and, well, focus on sports and getting drunk: there's the Red Sox game on Tuesday night against the Angels [...]

December

December My New Orleans Public School kindergarten report card. Same as it ever was. This has been a nutty year, filled with lots of sorrow which I worried I might never get over. But I did. Or at least, I'm out of the tunnel, and I amazed by my own resilience or whatever it is. Of course, music is the panacea, and I've found a lot of music to dig this year. So I'd like to share this mix with my readers. Including but not limited to: Cher covering The Kinks. Young Michael Jackson tackling the complexities [...]
