You can have some Free Blood, but only if you don’t have Coachella tickets.
Posted on April 12, 2008 | 2 CommentsWhat's up with all the boy/girl robot duos that (as of last night) have begun to invade Southern California? It's strange because I'm not usually a fan of this crap, but I think I hear a new one every day, and not one of them has been bad. I can't help but think that my judgement is impaired, or this music is really easy to make. Regardless, they are spouting

All things lead to Steve Albini: or, the Mark E. Smith Squirrel Massacre
Posted on April 11, 2008 | 3 CommentsMark E. Smith (The Fall) is 51 years old and still punk as fuck. I saw The Fall like 6 years ago at the Knitting Factory with Midget Handjob (ex Misguided Youth, Clawhammer, Circle Jerks, etc. etc. etc.) and it totally sucked. That's right, I said it. But I won't dispute the claim that the prune is still a total bad-ass. He made the band (whose members probably went to -
Vanilla Ice is tough as nails.
Posted on April 11, 2008 | No CommentsNot. Dude is f**king weeeeeeeaak. But I bet he feels a lot stronger when he beats on his wife, blames it on her bipolar disorder, and gets held in custody without bail. I mean, that must be why he's done it more than once, right? What a dick. Oh hey and while we're on the subject of STUPID, what the hell does "wax a chump like a candle" even mean?

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
Posted on April 10, 2008 | 2 CommentsNotice, please, that this post's headline does not say "New kids on the blog." but that it does in fact say "NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK." That's no typo, folks. I figured that because our genius tag-line "New kids on the blog" (which took its first breath of life in Cody's Midfield General post) is so similar to the most obscenely popular boy band of my generation "New Kids On -
Gobloots is the sound of failure.
Posted on April 10, 2008 | 1 CommentI bet you like Bob Dylan. And I bet you like Bright Eyes, too. If I won both of those bets, it's highly likely that you'll be pretty into Gobloots. But here's the difference. Where the bob dylan generation gap exists, and where Bright Eyes is more than a tad bit melodramatic, Gobloots feels and sings about everything you've ever felt and wished you could sing about. (Little things, like -
NO AGE Cover Bjork Classic
Posted on April 9, 2008 | No CommentsThat's right bitches, Radiohead favorites (I can't find the photo of Thom Yorke in the No Age Tshirt!) and Los Angeles natives No Age have released into the wild their cover of Bjork's 'It's Oh So Quiet'. I can remember when I was 15, driving upto San Bernardino to see Pink at the Orange Blossom Festival, and listening to Post in the car all the way from Long Beach. There

NW MSTRKRFT SNGL RCKS
Posted on April 9, 2008 | No CommentsMSTRKRFT's last (and only) LP, The Looks, was my gateway drug to electro. At first pass, while sitting at my computer, I found the album a little dull. A week later I heard "Paris" at a party and from there slowly grew to love the whole thing. I've been waiting for anything new from these -
Prince signs on to play Coachella
Posted on April 9, 2008 | No CommentsOkay, I need to breathe before I have a heart attack. The walls in my office are closing in on me, my palms are all sweaty, and omg, I NEED to calm down. One word: Prince. -
The Teenagers Want You
Posted on April 8, 2008 | No CommentsDo you wanna be in the next Teenagers video? I sure as hell do (not). Those dudes are hilarious but the lyrics to the song 'Feeling Better' fucking blow. Maybe I'm tricking myself like I did when I heard these guys initially, like, are they kidding? And perhaps they are, but regardless
