As a result of the ACL hangover we are a bit behind and we apologize for that. We promise to have some ACL posts up pretty soon. Until then enjoy the new release information for today. It looks like another pretty solid week. As always let us know if we have missed something of substance. This was kind of rushed so I'm sure we did. Akron/Family - Love Is Simple Akron/Family - Ed is A Portal (mp3) [...]
"I got one shot and the night is young, so don't wait up for me." The Donnas ~ Don't Wait Up For Me from Bitchin' by The Donnas Thanks for reading my blog! xoxo, asley
There's nothing better than listening to some chicks with serious attitude (especially chicks that would kick my ass for calling them chicks) playing with reckless abandon, fast and furious, cutting to the chase without all the instrumental solos that leave you daydreaming. Atlanta band The Coathangers fits the bill perfectly. The foursome is set to release their self-titled debut on September 4th, and its 17 tracks weighing in at 31 minutes reminds one of a Ramones album: no playing games, it's all business. In this case, playfully perverse (observe songs titled Don't [...]
Time to listen to tracks with hours of the day. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Midnight from By The Way Fairweather - South Street, 1am from If They Move... Kill Them Iron Maiden - 2AM from The X-Factor Matchbox 20 - 3am from Yourself or Someone Like You Our Lady Peace - 4am from Clumsy [...]
Photo nicked from here Even though Tim's off getting set to wed, he's made sure that we've been taken care of this week. You see, he's prepared the next two Contrast Podcasts in advance so we would not go without. Hooray for Tim! Hooray for forward planning! Hooray for automation. And this week, hooray for Crash, who enjoys pretending life is like a song ! For this week's episode is his idea: DJ Russian Roulette. The idea is this: [...]
A Week In Music Friday The name Friday comes from the Anglo-Saxon Frigg - the Goddess of beauty. In Latin languages the name mostly comes from Venus who was no shrinking Violet in the beauty stakes herself. There are lots of musical choices available for the Friday slot. No surprises there then. It seems like all songwriters spend the working week in a state of increasing gloom until Friday comes along. A few drinks later with the creative juices flowing [...]
This has been a pretty jam packed week. Brian and I had our home inspection done yesterday morning and so I was late to work and had very little time at all the night before to save up drafted posts. But today is not just any Friday. No. It is the Friday before vacation for me! **runs around, arms over head, squealing with delight** The Donnas - " Friday Fun " (mp3)
Due to the passing of former Girlschool guitarist Kelly Johnson, I decided to make this week's Friday 5 all about girl rockers. It just seemed to be a fitting way to pay tribute to Kelly and Girlschool, as they probably paved the way for all of these bands in one way or another. MP3: Sahara Hotnights - Visit To Vienna MP3: The Coathangers - Parking Lot [...]
Took the week off to move from Arusha to Iringa. First thing was we had to rebuild a tree house for the kids. I so feel like we traded up moving down to the middle of the country. We are so much closer to the game parks and the wife's hometown, but the connection sucks out here. Song: White Palms Artist: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Album: BRMC Comments: The half way track on their eponymous debut. I loved this song like nothing else and first heard it [...]
"Not even trying to sugar coat it. You're aimed at me, but you're shootin' blanks." The Donnas ~ Revolver from Gold Medal by The Donnas complete lyrics in comments
I was in the middle of drafting a response to Kirstin's challenge this month describing this great conversation Matt & I had a couple of weeks ago about some of the selection-topic-related reasons why women weren't represented much in our last few playlists, when I realized that Matt had just done it rather eloquently himself in a comment on this month's selection post . Read it to see where our heads be. Now that that's out of the way, let me focus on my list. Kirstin's challenge was wide open to interpretation, and because there [...]
Das neue Dinosaur Jr. Album Beyond erscheint am 1. Mai und den Album Opener Almost Ready gibt?s vorab als Download. Dinosaur Jr. - Almost Ready
Today in Music History: In 1969, John and Yoko were featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, on sale for 35 Cents. John was named as Rolling Stone's 'Man Of The Year'. When I first heard The Donnas back in 1998 I was struck by their Ramones meet the Runaways type sound. I thought that these girls held a lot of promise. I mean this was pretty good stuff for a group who recorded their first album while still in high school [...]
today's post will be short on words and medium length on music. it will be huge on me telling you that i am going on vacation tomorrow. but don't fret, loyal ydb readers, i have some wonderful guest bloggers filling in for me. now, i have to go take all of my shampoo, shaving gel, water bottles and tylenol gel caps out of my carry on, so i'm just going to leave with something near and dear to my heart: a selection of covers, just for you! self - what [...]
