Cinemechanica : Get Outta Here Hitler [ purchase ] The theme isn’t limited to presidents, so I figured, what better time to post this song? It is an instrumental, and listening to it, I hear no obvious connection to Hitler, who was, of course, known as the Führer, which means “leader” in German. And what better sentiment could be expressed about the leader of Nazi Germany, whose insane policies resulted in the death of millions, but “Get Outta Here”? I never tire of quoting Indiana Jones, who said, [...]

Jon Albrink : Her Majesty [ Purchase ] The Beatles Complete on Ukulele project, spearheaded by Roger Greenawalt, aimed to offer up the entire Beatles collection for free. The main caveat: there had to be a ukulele in the music. For the first few years (there are currently in excess of 180 songs in the [...]

Unknown Artist : Hail to the Chief Unknown Artist : The President How cool is it to have your very own anthem? That’s what the U.S. President has with “Hail to the Chief” a fanfare typically played by a military band before his appearance and after four “ruffles and flourishes” played on drums and bugles, respectively. In true military fashion, there are U.S. Department of Defense directives that afford official status to “Hail to the Chief.” Having worked for the U.S. [...]
[ purchase used on vinyl only ] I knew immediately what song I wanted to post for this week‘s theme. McKinley‘s Blues is a bluegrass classic, notably recorded by Flatt and Scruggs. It is also known as McKinley‘s Gone and White House Blues. But the version heard here is the only one I was willing to consider, and it is not strictly bluegrass, despite the impressive line up of musicians. Norman Blake is the headliner and singer, but Vassar Clements, Sam Bush, and Jethro Burns are all big names. Tut Taylor is not as well known as [...]

The Two Man Gentlemen Band : William Howard Taft [ purchase ] I take credit or blame for suggesting this theme for Presidents’ Day, an attempt to consolidate holidays honoring Presidents Washington and Lincoln into a generic Monday holiday recognizing all of the nation’s presidents, whether brilliant, like George and Abe, competent, mediocre, criminal or incompetent. In true American fashion, we celebrate this holiday with sales, and it has now morphed into “Presidents’ Week.” I had tons of ideas for president songs, but the first few that I came up [...]
Words // Adam Sharp It's (again) been entirely too long since I checked in around these parts, but I bring musical gifts as a peace offering. Going forward I'll be posting every week or so with music I've been listening to that I think you should check out, but today's post is all about catching you up on some unbelievable tunes I've stumbled upon lately. Here's some tunes I think you'll like. Enjoy. Nick Waterhouse - "I Can Only Give You Everything" [...]
Here's what I know about Ruler, its not much: Alphabetically the first bandcamp tags to describe the project reads "dignified, dramatic, folk" which I like right off the bat. Ruler is a brand new band from Matt Batey of Cataldo. They'll be playing their first show on January 29th at The Sunset with Portland's Lost Lander. [...]
Honestly, I like how Ayatollah flipped this beat - it's different than the other versions I've heard that use the same sample. For more info check out J-LoveOnline.com Read More about Hip Hop & Street Art at Flawless Hustle.

The rulers of the French house scene have returned for a second outing and have taken a heavier 1980’s rock sound for inspiration. Think of Pink Floyd featuring Queen mixed in with a filthy electro beat. Audio Video Disco was released a few weeks back and the eleven track listen sounds great if my ears are anything to go by. Following up the incredible Cross was never going to be easy an easy task so they’ve taken a slightly new direction and worked it to their own magic formula. Some fans of their debut may leave unsatisfied [...]

Bullion is set to release a new 12" through Young Turks on April 25th called 'You Drive Me To Plastic'. You can give it a spin below, but be warned, you'll need some funkadelic clothing on to really appreciate it.

It's raining again (F-you, Spring) but Bullion's Magic Was Ruler, taken from the re-release of 'non-LP' You Drive Me To Plastic, is made for shorts and tees, dodgy tans and the dance tent. It's pure sunshine. You Drive Me To Plastic is re-released on 25th May.
Totally got tricked this morning. We opened our eyes, noticed it was sunny and for a hot minute legitimately thought that Summer was here. Unfortunately, we were proven drastically wrong while standing there waiting for ... read more

If you like your guitars thick and drony, you probably will love Surf City. The New Zealand based band has just released a new record, and it's flying way below the radar. Maybe it's the timing of the release, but it seems like Surf City never gets mentioned when it comes to lo-fi psych pop that is starting to become incredibly popular in indie circles. While bands like Cloud Nothings, Wavves, and Sleigh Bells get the recognition, and deservedly so, Surf City seems to be slept on. So, lets do our part in attempting to [...]
