Not that it really has anything to do with this, but back when we were much younger and before we were married, the wife and I drove down from Indianapolis to Bloomington to see Sloppy Seconds at some club there. They were awesome as is their Christmas song, "Hooray For Santa Claus." And if you want more than just the few songs below, here are the links to Day 1 , Day 2 , Day 3 , Day 4 , and Day 5 of this series. MP3: [...]
My baby is teething like crazy and sick so I've been back and forth between finishing this post and running upstairs to calm her down when she starts crying. What a day... MP3 Strung Out - Solitaire from the 1996 album Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues The Groovie Ghoulies - Bye Bye Brain from the 2000 album Travels With My Amp Allister - Jimmy's Dreamgirl [...]
So, longtime readers will remember when this lovely ole blog first started, there were 3 writers... and no direction at all. We didn't really know where we wanted to take the blog, and it was just more of a fun hobby for us. AquarianBeauty, although she doesn't write on here anymore, used to be our expert in pointing out interesting websites, stories you may have missed and comics deep within the
How does it go again? On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree and a whole bunch of Christmas MP3's. Something like that, right? Well, the season is finally upon us so here come Christmas and holiday songs of all shapes, sizes, genres, etc... I posted many of these songs last year but there are more than a handful of new gems for you to add to your own Christmas mixes. So, if the title didn't give it away, there's gonna be twelve of these posts so if [...]
Written By Phillip Mottaz Dedicated to those songs that I can't stop playing, humming, or thinking about; the 4+ minutes you fall head-over-heels in love with. Past instances have included 'Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry," Johnny Cash's "Ghost Riders In The Sky," and Interpol's "Length of Love." In 2002 I was involved in a comedy show where the style was quick hits, one right after the next. That show was partially inspired by the random acquisition of Short [...]
Today is Charles Darwin's 200th birthday, and I don't know about you, but I'm a huge nerd when it comes to evolutionary biology (seriously). It's amazing how one man completely changed the way the world thinks in terms of science and our origins, and how some people still refuse to believe evolution happened.A few months ago, the Church of England apologize to Charles Darwin (126 years after the
No I'm not kidding. Thanksgiving is here and, dammit, I'm in the holiday spirit already. Plus I just really like Christmas songs... especially punk Christmas songs. I need to plug in the turntable and rip MP3's of the Smoking Popes Egg Nog 7" and the Squirtgun White Christmas 7" as well. Until then, however, these songs will have to do. In addition to this batch, I've got some jazz songs, some ska/reggae songs, and a whole bunch of your standard indie Christmas songs. Enjoy. MP3 | [...]
I don't know about where you live, but it's pretty much been raining nonstop for the past week up in this shizzy. Oh well, at least I had the DUI accident with a stolen car that happened to be filled with crack right outside my house to entertain me. MP3: Choking Victim - Crack Rock Steady Some Girls - The Rains Melt Banana - A Hunter In The Rain To Cut The Neck Up In The Present Stage Me
Come on in, the party has just begun! DJ Frankenstein is spinnin' tunes tonight and he's definitely got some treats for you. Have a safe and happy Pooky Night everyone! Zacherley - Zombie Zoo [originally by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers] Originally from Tom Petty's 1989 Full Moon Fever , this odd cover gives it the novelty horror treatment courtesy of Mr. John Zacherle , Vincent Price - Monster Mash [originally by Bobby "Boris" Pickett] The funk [...]
So I just got back from my homecoming at my college (where the housewives began), down in good ole Fredericksburg VA, and it was completely siiiick. Went to two shows down there (Flobots and Fburg locals The Trasmitters), and both were pretty damn good. I was able to avoid all the college sport games (not so hard to do when your school doesn't have a football team), and So this one goes out
Alright everyone! Today is the day that Sasha (Midwestern Housewives long lost indie writer...get your computer fixed already!) mom graced the world 23 years ago by giving birth to one gnarly radical gal! Lets have our usual rounds of birthday songs, shall we? MP3: Groovie Ghoulies – Happy Birthday The Vandals – Happy Birthday To Me The Vandals – Bad Birthday Bash [...]
Birthday! It's our birthday month! Indie Mom and I traditionally take the entire month as our own (hey, nothing else is going on anyway) and plan some way to celebrate our nearly-same birthdays together. For the past several years, our fave band Radiohead has cooperated by scheduling a concert in our area around the time. That's where we'll be this coming Sunday! Groovie Ghoulies : Happy Birthday from Travels With My Amp (2000) The Bird and [...]
So, I wasn't going to post this because I thought it was a little conceded, but screw it, I don't care! Today is my birthday! Although for some reason it doesn't really feel like it… Anyways, here are the essential songs I listen to on my bday! MP3: Groovie Ghoulies – Happy Birthday The Vandals – Happy Birthday To Me [...]
Sometimes you just don't have time to be putting up with long epic bullshit. So take your crazy guitar solos elsewhere, because here is the top 20 songs that finish under 35 seconds (Holy smokes batman! You can listen to every one of these songs here, and be done in under 10 minutes!) 20 . River City Rebels – He She It Raging gang vocals. 19 . Atom and his Package – Bloody Lip [...]
Wow, this one took me forever to review… (it's been in my queue for quite some time now.) Sadly, the Groovie Ghoulies announced their break-up last May, just a few days before their 9 th studio release "99 Lives". The Ghoulies final recording is a pretty solid addition to their already large discography. While there is nothing really groundbreaking here, 99 Lives definitely continue using the same formula that made the Ghoulies who they were, and [...]
This isn't a political blog but just for the heck of it I thought I'd throw my two cents in on the democratic presidential debate tonight. And hey here's some music too! Dennis Kucinich - I am proud to call Denis Kucinich my myspace friend. I love Kucinich, I think he's by far the best candidate, or at least has the best ideas… maybe he's too liberal (and short?) [...]
June 17 th is an important date in history. Today in 1944 Iceland became independent from Denmark and formed a republic, in 1823 the waterproof material for raincoats was patented. In 1958 Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys was born. Jello was not the only important punk rocker born on June 17 th though, so was SilverUnity! Time to break out the cake, the gifts and the party hats! MP3: Groovie Ghoulies- Happy Birthday Song MP3: The Vandals- Happy Birthday to Me [...]
