Photograph of the week - Adam Ant shot by Janette Beckman

Photograph of the week - Adam Ant shot by Janette Beckman We can't even go into how f**king amazing Janette Beckman's work is.  We just caught her show in LA at Project Space. It was phenomenal.  Her career has covered some of the most important musical movements in history - the late 70's British punk, mod and 2-Tone scenes and birth of hip hop in the early 80's in NYC.  Beckman's snapshot of Adam Ant above is one of our favorites.  A very quitenessential young Ant in London, taken in 1980.  Shot just before Ant-Mania was about to [...]

Random video of the week #54 - EMF "Unbelievable"

Random video of the week #54 - EMF "Unbelievable" Everyone has jammed to this groove at one time or another.  I remember living up in the Bay, and this track just rocking the clubs long before anybody actually knew who EMF was.  The band actually played the SF hood a few times and I'll always remember the EMF shows as some of the craziest, wildest live events to take place during the 90's.  They even spawned a huge pit, yes pit, at each show - who would have thought? Take it away -

No Title

No Title We guess it was only a matter of time, but still this one is quite unexpected.  Not in a bad way, as we actually dig this album, but it seems a bit obsure which actually makes it a bit more intriguing.  Anway, Curiostiy Killed The Cat get the full reissue treatment for their most well known album, Keep Your Distance .  The album hit #1 in the UK back in 87', thanks to the massive hit, Misfit .  This new [...]

Vintage: The Go-Go's "Automatic" live 1981

Love this track from The Go-Go's .  Probably runs second in our Go-Go's list next to Lust To Love , a pretty unbeatable song. We are drawn to their more "dark" leaning stuff vs. the overly cheery, happy, poppy material.  The below performance was shot in 1981 at Palos Verde High School in Southern California.  The show was later released on video under the title Totally Go-Go's Live .
