![[Playlist] A Meaty Vacationing Mixture](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4052057_lg.jpg)
Hello friends and others. I am off on a mini-vacation tomorrow (see above picture). When we get back from Mexico the plan is to finish packing up our house and move to Vancouver...finally. Life will be pretty wild over the next few weeks so I highly doubt that there will be much new music posted up here. As a present, here is a playlist that I will be listening to while sitting by the pool, eating tacos, drinking chi-chi's and playing some serious Scrabble. Till then... 1. Dirty Gold - California Sunrise [...]
As we move into a new year, one of the strangest pieces of news has been revealed. Album sales in 2011 actually went up for the first time in almost a decade. Granted it was mostly due to Adele's incredibly popular album...that still proves that the album as a musical format is still very viable. And while all the news articles still like to pronounce the death of rock and how pop has

I was never much of an Offspring fan back in the 90's . Thought they were too frat boy rock for my taste back then, but not too long ago we had a 90's theme party at The Vagabond and in the process of getting music for that event I got a couple of Offspring tracks "Self Esteem" and "Come Out and Play" . Thought those tracks aged well. They sounded good some 17 years later. Anyways randomly a few weeks ago I got sent an Offspring [...]
"Tell me why, I don't like Tuesdays...." Man, I don't know, there's just a rash of bad news today around the music world. Here's a taste of Bad News. - Electro whizbang Producer DJ Mehdi died at a party while celebrating his 34th birthday, when a mezzanine gave way and crushed some people. That's Bad News. - Grammy award winning rapper T.I. is going back to prison . He had been apparently serving time for violating probation in a weapons case. That's Bad News. - A concertgoer [...]

¿Vamos con otra serie de recomendaciones ? Claro, como cada sábado. Esta vez, como siempre, tratamos de hacer un poquito de cada cosa. Randal decidió elegir básicamente una de las mejores bandas de la historia de la música con Queen , Jackie va con Sondre Lerche , César con The Offspring y yo con Archers of Loaf , entre otras cosas, lógico. Archers of Loaf, "Web In Front" Un poquito de música sin tantos arreglos y sonido que parece improvisado, con coros que están [...]

Tweet Watching 'live' performances on the TV or Internet is a bittersweet experience. You feel pleased that you don't have to miss out but at the same time you're made even more aware how much you're missing out. You can relax on the sofa, rather than stand for seemingly unending, back aching hours. You can crack open a beer not purchased for £4.50. You can stay dry with no fear of British weather falling from the sky or British teenage urine falling from a passing beer can / urinal. [...]
Watch as The Offspring perform Pretty Fly For A White Guy and Self Esteem at this weekend's Reading Festival. Half the fun of watching this clip is the super-engergizing crowd in attendance.

The Associated Press reports that at least four people have been killed, as equipment fell from the stage as Smith Westerns were playing. Their frontman Cullen Omori took to [...]

What could be cooler than having a band write a song about you in tribute? Well, as long as the song is complimentary of course. Here's some toonage that fits the subject! Toonage: "Grant Hart" - The Posies "Strummerville"- Stiff Little Fingers "The Replacements" - Tommy Womack "Johnny's Gonna Die" - The Replacements (live July 1982)
It's been a while since I put together a Classics post. After all these years of turning my musical tastes in circles, a good punk song can still bring a smile to my face. Here are a few of them that are rock solid after many layers of dust are removed. *If this isn't your cup of tea, come back later and I will post some nice, fluffy, folky stuff. Free mp3: Social Distortion - Don't Drag Me Down [...]

If you visit the Channel Ten website via this link you can stream the show. Keep your ears peeled for some Australian dreampop in the background.
