little hurricane – Homewrecker [Album Review]

September 1, 2011

In the real world I work in insurance. Rising claims from the summer rain and wind has made life pretty shitty. So when Oz sent over an album called Homewrecker by a band called little hurricane (yes, all lowercase),  I couldn’t help but admire the irony. This dirty blues duo from San Diego was brought [...]

The Middle East – Jesus Came To My Birthday Party [Music Video]

August 17, 2011

My kids took me to play putt-putt on my birthday in 100 degree heat. It was so fucking hot, I thought I saw Jesus. But I think I was just having a flashback or going through menopause or something. Anyway, the now-defunct Aussie band called The Middle East has just put out this video for [...]

June 28, 2011

White Denim have another new video for the tune “Street Joy.” Apparently, they have dug up some footage from my prom in 1988 when I rocked a purple cumberbund/bowtie and a mullet. Oddly, I didn’t get any loving that night. Anywho, D is one of the finer albums you will hear in 2011. The boys [...]

Centro-matic – Candidate Waltz [Album Review]

June 22, 2011

A few weeks back, Shirk and I were talking about the logistics of a potential Centro-matic live session. Unfortunately schedules didn’t work out, but Shirk asked me to describe them.
