Christmas gives me the crazyhead. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the baby Jesus, it's just all of the expectation, commercialization, greed, neurosis, travel nightmares, and terrible, god-awful music that gets me down. What happened to peace on earth and good will towards men and all of that crap? Bah humbug. Here are some good blues, punk, country, and rock songs about having the Christmas doldrums. Zippity-do-dah . 1. The Legendary Tiger Man - Fuck Christmas, I Got the Blues.mp3 From : Fuck Christmas, [...]

Even if you've never heard it, there's something instantly familiar about the Swingin' Neckbreakers' "Brown-Eyed Girl."

The first of these musical behemoths is the imminent return of the legendary old skool punk DIRTY PILLOWS ! Yep, we put the band back together and will be playing this Wednesday, January 28 [...]

We have two entirely different music styles from Detroit, Michigan. Two not so different musical styles from Boston, Massachusetts and one kick ass band from the Garden State. The Shuffle Gods were pretty generous today. Song: Francious' Journey Artist: SSD Album: Power Comments: This was late era SSD when Al Barile decided that hair metal was the way to go. Well, DYS and every other early 80's Boston hardcore band made the move as well. Making the arrival of Slapshot that much more welcome. I don't mind this [...]
