'Fearless' - Pink Floyd, 1983

Dec 30, 2008, 8:41am This Here Boogie

We've been absent here for the past week or so as we focusing our attention on fattening up over the Christmas period and decided to give the blog a break while we done so but in light of the events of the past 48 hours or so in relation to Steve Gerrard and with me being a Liverpool fan I decided to do a quick post to honor the man , the legend. Liverpool fans will already know this Pink Floyd song as towards the end it incorporates the song " You'll never walk alone " which of course is [...]

Linus' Fave Movie Director: Wes Anderson

Dec 29, 2008, 9:39pm Kickin' the Peanuts!

In an effort to salvage whatever indie credibility we lost with our "hamster on a piano" post, we find ourselves turning to Wes Anderson. Ole' Wessy's directed movies such as The Royal Tenenbaums , The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou , and, most recently, The Darjeeling Limited . He has inherently subscribed to the belief that all indie movies can be enhanced by an equally indie soundtrack. We at Kickin the Peenz have mad love for all songs by The Kinks and David Bowie. Anderson, however, hand-picks each song. Every song he uses syncs perfectly [...]

'Frankie Teardrop' - Suicide, 1977

Dec 19, 2008, 3:01am This Here Boogie

Suicide are a band hailing from New York and consists of Alan Vega and Martin Rev. While not achieving much critical acclaim in the late 70's and early 80's, their stock has risen significantly these past few years and they no longer remain within the depths of the underground scene. You can read more about the band here . Suicide were first brought to my attention after seeing a Bruce Springsteen acoustic show here in Dublin a few years ago in The Point. I think it was when he was on tour promoting the Devil's and Dust [...]

'Sunflower' - Paul Weller, 1993

Dec 18, 2008, 5:22am This Here Boogie

After The Jam and The Style Council (the former the biggest band in England in their heyday, the latter an oft-misunderstood genre-hopping collective who released records to declining returns in the '80s), Weller decided to go back to roots. Roots for Paul Weller means the '60s. Mining the guitar licks of The Small Faces and Traffic, and marrying it to lyrics about pastoral yearning and changing seasons (influenced strongly by Nick Drake), Weller created a career resurgence that broke the rules for aging ex-rock stars. 1993's Wild Wood album brought [...]

'Brilliant Mistake' - Elvis Costello, 1986

Dec 16, 2008, 1:00am This Here Boogie

On his tour of America in 1979, a brash young songwriter by the name of Declan MacManus made some unfortunate comments about James Brown and Ray Charles while out drinking. Costello's statement that Charles was nothing but a "blind, ignorant nigger" was intended to provoke Stephen Stills' entourage, whom Costello and bass player Bruce Thomas had encountered in a hotel bar. But when one of Stills' crew went to the papers, and Costello displayed an abrasive attitude and unwillingness to apologise at a subsequent press conference, his Stateside career was over. Albums continued to be released, but to diminishing returns. [...]

'Baltimore'- Randy Newman, 1977

Dec 9, 2008, 2:04am This Here Boogie

The Wire provided some excellent tv for me towards the end of this year and provided a great substitute for The Soprano's . The tv program is set in the city of Baltimore, Maryland which is the reason this song perked my interest as I had done a search for the word Baltimore in my music collection and came up with a few songs of but I think this is the best of the bunch. The song is taken from his sixth studio album called Little Criminals from which backed by [...]
