left to right: Burma Shave, Husky Burnette Hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee ( home of the National Tow Truck Museum ) Husky Burnette accompanied by drummer Burma Shave brings a rough, shambolic yet fist-tight blues that stomps, honks and grinds it out. My ol' neighbor lady'd say " That's Nasty !" She'd be so right. Husky and Burma rock it like a beast and that's how we like it, baby. Hunched, [...]

Howdy kids. Sorry for our absence as of late, We've been busy boys. The Play-Doh Launch night @ CATCH was huge and BEFORENOON 's 1st Birthday @333 was, as we have come to expect from the B4N team, classic. Anyways... I digress... I heard a cover version on a youtube link while I was looking for a Ramones video. It was by Jason Mraz. It brought out a very spitefull reaction in me as to the 'softened'version he did. Let's just say my reaction was opposite to the one Mraz intended by slowly and 'meaningfully' [...]

por Livio Vilela Quando eu propus para toda equipe do Bloody Pop a idéia fazer essas mixtapes e escrever sobre esses discos da década passada, nunca achei que fosse tão difícil escolher só dois ou três álbuns e, principalmente, só uma dúzia de músicas. Por isso, como sou the boss of this shit , me permito quebrar a regra e fazer uma MIXTAPE DUPLA E COM BONUS TRACK. 12 + 12 + 1 = 25 músicas! AE! E não é uma simples mixtape, é uma Mimimixtape . 24/5 [...]
MUSIC NEWS - Rock guitar master Jeff Beck has announced additional dates on upcoming tour that include the USA and Canada with the legendary Brit rocker's adding two dozen dates over the spring and summer.

Beck will then be on a break for a month before starting up again on June 3 in Boston, MA at the Bank of America Pavilion, then [...]
2009 was a pretty productive year for music on the whole. Started off with Little Boots being picked as the Sound of 2009 by the BBC, and look where she is now - can see the same happening to Ellie Goulding and Marina & The Diamonds, fortunately/unfortunately. A few strong releases came about, including K'naan's sophomore album Troubadour, one of my favourites, if not the favourite, of last year. Passion Pit started to get a lot bigger, as did the likes of CuDi, both of whom have blown up over the past year with strong debut releases. Can't really [...]
For those familiar with Spencer Krug , you know the drill when one of his many projects emerges with some new music. Acquire it, listen to it, and, in most cases, love it. For the newcomers... where have you been? Over the last decade, Krug has proven to be one of indie rock's more intriguing contributors. The guy doesn't sleep much, what with being a key member of every band you like (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Swan Lake, Frog Eyes, etc.). However, when he does take a few minutes to lay [...]
Been happy with Retribution Gospel Choir's newly released 2 , an album of classic rock and other guitar machinations for the current age. Recorded in their hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, 2 surfaces with catchy rockers brimming with crunchy chords, wandering leads, and a trailing storm of psychedelia, perhaps seen best on standout, "Poor Man's Daughter." "White Wolf" comes off like a Paul Stanley 70's era KISS stormer, and that's no bad thing at all, preparing a nice setup for "The Last of the Blue Dream," a tune half done inside [...]
Tony Coulter here, with a new batch of vinyl finds -- all acquired since moving to Portland, OR almost six months ago. While previous posts were focused on records from the Northwest, this time 'round I've thrown aside geographical constraints -- i.e., I found 'em here, mostly in thrift stores and dollar bins, but they're from all over. After presenting my favorite tracks from seven of these LPs, I'll finish up with two imaginary record covers. Enjoy.... ______________________________ ______________________________ _____________________________ Various [...]
Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life? Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair. Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life? Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. [...]
Give the Drummer Some's 6 Favorite Downloads from the MP3 Blogosphere You just gotta love the ironic touch of naming a nightspot in the the middle of landlocked Iowa the Surf Ballroom. No wild guffaws, though, as we doff fedoras in quiet contemplation of the tragedy , 51 years ago today, that put the Surf on the map. (1) Thirty years after making the experimental film New York Eye and Ear Control , filmmaker/painter/sculptor/wri ter/musician Michael Snow recorded this compelling piano/drum duet with fellow Canadian Jack Vorvis. ••• [...]
Todd photo: Lynn Goldsmith Here Comes The Flood proudly presents Crossroads , a track from the forthcoming new Todd Rundgen album Todd Rundgren's Johnson , reinterpretating the songs of legendary blues man Robert Johnson (1911-1938). MP3: Todd Rundgren's Johnson - Crossroads The world premiere of Todd Rundgren's Johnson was at the Palace of Fine Arts Theater, San Francisco, December 1, 2009. Rundgren played a 45 minute set of Robert Johnson songs, with Prairie [...]
Most Likely To: resurrect some of the '70s best rock unsentimental journey down. Alan Sparhawk has never troubled much over stereotypes. Although he fronts the much-loved slowcore trio Low, he is a Mormon who makes his home in Minnesota, and is married to fellow band mate Mimi Parker with whom he has two children. All this incongruity makes his more traditional rock side project the Retribution Gospel Choir that much more enjoyable. Sparhawk is no Ronnie James Dio wannabe; he is simply giving in to the undeniable force [...]
Chart courtesy of The Economist 01. Azari & III, "Reckless (With Your Love)" [ Permanent Vacation ] ( buy ) With the deluge of year end lists finally petering out I've finally had a chance to dig into music released at the end of 2009 that was overlooked. There's no better place to start than with Azari & III's irresistible tune, "Reckless (With Your Love)," one of the year's few house anthems. In keeping with the old school instrumentation and track structure, [...]
In the middle of the country, far enough for the trendsetting sounds of the East and West coasts to be heard but not necessarily felt , the soul men, blues breakers, jazz giants, and hip-hop kings in the "City of the Big Shoulders" developed a sound all their own. Muddy Waters Like so many of his contemporaries, Muddy made the trip up to Chicago from the South, but once he got there he [...]
No real surprises to report. Beyoncé earned a bundle of Grammys. Lady Gaga delivered a rousing - and surprisingly uncontroversial - duet with Elton John . Taylor Swift also cleaned up, though her number with Stevie Nicks sounded a tad off (as did Slash's guitar solo during T-Pain's performance). Best prop goes to Best Comedy Album winner Steven Colbert , who pulled an iPad out of his jacket during his monologue. And kudos to Kings of Leon for admitting they were a tad drunk while accepting the Grammy [...]
