Yo! Here is a bunch of stuff you might be interested in hearing/downloading/jamming to/raising an eyebrow at! Your options are basically limitless! For more jams or by any of these artists use the 'tags' links at the bottom of the post! ♫ Klaxons - Flashover / Klaxons' massively acclaimed 2007 debut never struck a chord with me but now that I have been revisiting it I am realizing I missed out on an awesome album. This new track of theirs isn't getting me as hyped as I am [...]

Oh, side project, how I love you. It's rare these days that we get a peek at a stripped-down version of Modest Mouse, which makes "Lay Me Down"—the first new Ugly Casanova song in years —such a revelation. Ugly Casanova, if you remember correctly, is the name of Modest Mouse leader Isaac Brock 's twangy alter-ego band, one that traded electric guitars and dual drum sets for a calmer set of songs on 2002's Sharpen Your Teeth . That record was backed up by members of Califone and the Black Heart Procession, but here it almost sounds [...]

Ugly Cassanova is the side-project of Modest Mouse frontman Issac Brock. He's recorded a bunch of tracks for the soundtrack for the movie 180° South , and this is really the first batch of songs without the band in quite some time. The soundtrack comes out on June 22nd on Brushfire Records . Personally, this is how I remember Brock in his hey-day, all wobbling vocals with a touch of soul. The track "Lay Me Down" really takes off once the [...]

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Holopaw had a decent output back in their days on Subpop , but they had been quiet for the better part of the last four years. That is until Bakery Outlet released news that they would put out Oh, Glory. Oh, Wilderness. And, despite that singer John Orth has ties with Mr. Brock from Modest Mouse , you can't really feel the odd signatures and multi-instrumental moments that he [...]

Photography by Herky It's Friday but it's a gloomy, cloudy, and busy one, meaning the sooner we get this day done and start our weekend, the better! Personally, I can't think of a better way to finish off this week than with the shot of throat burnin' bourbon in an old motel that is Whodat Peckerhead's, from our Facebook community , new mixtape ! YAY! It's a wonderful [...]
I havent shared videos with you lovely people in a long time. Nothing paticularly new here, in fact this first offering for Ugly Casonova is a couple of years old. This has stood the test of time and still gets me giggling like the first time I saw it. Disgusting and cute in equal measures. Odd to say the least. Ugly Casanova - Things I Don't Remember Directed by Yuri A [...]

I'm taking a break from the blog for a few days to concentrate on life, love, family, and food. I hope everyone out there has a holiday full of happiness. I leave you with a small playlist of songs that might not make it into the standard radio station's wintertime set. Enjoy! mp3: Bishop Allen - Winter Coat mp3: Blitzen Trapper - Christmas Is Coming Soon mp3: Pas/Cal - I Wanna Take you Out In Your Holiday Sweater mp3: Ugly Cassanova - [...]

Le leader d'extrème droite autrichien Jörg Haider est mort lors d'un accident de voiture dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi dernier, alors qu'il sortait d'une discothèque ... Il roulait à 142 km/h, au volant de sa Volkswagen Phaeton V6... Comment sait-on que c'était 142 km/h , et non 143 ? La thèse officielle serait que le compteur était bloqué sur ce chiffre, mais les compteurs d'aujourd'hui étant numériques, nous en doutons. La vérité, la voici : les experts ont calculé le nombre de moustiques écrasés sur les phares... [...]
On Sunday night, I joined a friend of mine on a seat-of-our-pants road trip to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to see a quietly promoted warm-up gig for Modest Mouse before the band kicked off its big spring tour in support of its fantastic new album, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank . According to Tickets.com, who were the online sellers for tickets to this show, no more seats were available when I checked on Thursday night. A few phone calls placed to area record stores told me that the website's claims were dubious. My [...]

Xmas without snow kind of sucks. Xmas with 50 degrees and sunny is just downright scary. Someday you'll be able to sit down with your children for the holidays and tell them Xmas stories. . . after you describe what snow was like, and life before everyone moved into the bubble cities. But hey at least the oil companies are doing really well. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------------------- MP3: And it's all over, till next year. • Ugly Cassanova - So Long To The Holidays [...]
