La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
This is an ever changing and (hopefully) expanding list of some of the songs I have mentioned before in this blog or simply stuff I have found somewhere on the web that I find interesting, but have no time to write about. All files have been found somewhere in cyberspace (and NONE of them have uploaded by me, so I cannot help you with any requests you might have - just keep returning and something new might pop up), so they will be available until the artists, record labels, fans, whatever decide to remove them. Thanks to a few readers, [...]

Happy end of August, Waveriders! The kids are getting their fresh new haircuts and being prepped for the return to school, the summer nights are a little more chilled, big men in pads and leotards are chasing around other men holding an oblong object of sorts, all of these events just leading to autumn. Sigh . . . that means hockey season is right around the corner. You can't see my smile right now, but ever see a picture of the Cheshire Cat? Yeah. I think you're getting the picture. Anyway, I digress once again. This has been a super [...]

photos by Toby Tenenbaum , words by Black Bubblegum " Great fucking show. And! Hotboxed my first port-a-potty. Fun!" - Anonymous | July 1, 2009 1:17 AM The rain let up, the band came out, and a wonderful evening of music in Central Park ensued. Explosions in the Sky , the Austin based quartet, brought its rolling, meandering, lyric-free virtuousity to the heart of NYC and held a [...]
Power Pop is a term you hear fairly often when talking about oldies that sort of split the atom between Bubblegum (think The Ohio Express or The 1910 Fruitgum Company), Pop (think Three Dog Night, The Grassroots or The Lovin ' Spoonful) and Rock (think The Doors or Cream). I was reading that Pete Townshend of The Who is generally credited with coining the phrase in 1967 when asked what type of music his band played. Referring to "I Can't Explain, Happy Jack and Pictures of Lily he replied "Power Pop." I never knew this [...]
The Singles Collection is contributor Jason Jackowiak's weekly column focusing on rare and essential 7″ releases. We gladly accept all types of 7″ for consideration. Ok, after a few snags and some schedule wrangling, we're finally ready with our latest all- Sacred Bones edition of the Singles Collection.

It took Oregon what ... two decades to finally ban smoking in bars? But the Beaver State is all about being ahead of the curve in making sure kids don't mistake smokeless tobacco for bubblegum (I don't recall bubblegum making me projectile vomit). It all went down April 22, when the Oregon House of Representatives voted to slap a $2.14 tax on all cans of smokeless tobacco weighing at least 1.2 ounces. The bill also bans smokeless tobacco companies from targeting youth through event sponsorships and billboards and cartoons. Of course, it doesn't seem [...]
I became a Soft Pack fan (FKA - 'The Muslims') when I heard their single "Parasites". The song reminds me of some underground alternative rock I used to listen to when I was a kid. Their normal sound has a great indie punk rock vibe, however there were a couple acoustic versions of their songs I caught up with a few months back that showed me a different side of their music. These versions of "Red Headed Girl" and "Call it a Day" (off of their EP they titled 'The Muslims') are [...]
From the opening sweep of strings on "United We Stand" — the cut leading off Elton John's Spirit In The Sky - Rare Sessions 1969-70 — there's little doubt we're back in the 1960s. It's sunshine personified, standing in stark contrast to the brooding paranoia that would flow through soon-to-be classics such as Madman Across The Water just a couple years later. That would have to wait. Here, we have a portrait of the artist as a young man, paying homage to popular tunes of the day through a set of 10 cover songs. What shines [...]
words & photos by Black Bubblegum There is barely enough time to do anything in Austin during SXSW... hence all the food carts and restaurants with open window counters for eating on the go. That said, I think it's a true testament to how much I liked Providence's Howl that with all of the other great bands playing at the exact same time, I wanted a second helping. After missing them at the [...]
Neil Young's much-delayed Archives, Volume 1 box set will finally be released via Warner Bros. on June 1st. The lavish 10-disc set, available in Blu-Ray (retailing for $299), DVD ($199), and CD ($99) versions, features every studio album Young recorded with Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, and solo, as well as rarities and live tracks, from his earliest work in 1963 through his peak commercial years, 1972's Harvest era. It looks to be, quite literally, every note Young committed to tape during these years. A preorder page has been set up, featuring [...]

by Black Bubblegum Houdini is an album by Melvins released in 1993 on Atlantic Records. It is regarded as one of the band's more accessible records. Melvins were one of Kurt Cobain's favorite bands; he is given co-production credit alongside Melvins six tracks. Cobain played guitar on "Sky Pup" right handed on a right handed guitar even though Cobain was left handed. He also added percussion to the percussion-only sprawling noise of "Spread Eagle Beagle". -[ Wiki ] Well it isn't [...]
by Black Bubblegum Mastodon @ Scion Rock Fest - Feb 28, 2009 (by Michael Woodruff) Less than 36 hours after Mastodon left the stage at Scion Rock Fest where they played a few tunes with Scott Kelly of Neurosis (!!!), the band announced a tour that includes a NYC date at Irving Plaza (May 9th, tickets on sale soon ) and a Brooklyn show at Music Hall of Williamsburg (May 10th, [...]
Beppe Loda is another pioneering Italian dj from the same school and era as Daniele Baldelli, and, like Baldelli, his legacy has been been overlooked until recently. In the last five years both of them have been recognized as the innovators they truly were and are. Without them, the genre known as Italo disco might never have happened or at least wouldn't have spawned as many forward looking records before the bidness men got hold of it and turned it into a Stock, Aitken, Waterman bubblegum Frankenstein. Loda is currently enjoying a renaissance [...]

She was a teenager, and it was the 80's. She left behind a wardrobe of brightly colored clothes, rainbow stickers, [...]
