• Goodwill Hunting, Disc 1: It’s Not That Far If You Measure In Centimetres…
  My brother and I decided to visit one of the Goodwill stores in Brooklyn last weekend. He wanted to check out a bunch of things but I (of course) went straight for the CDs. Man, there was quite a selection! Shelves and shelves of CDs, and after spending a little over an hour scrupulously going [...] Read More » […]

• Free Energy: “Hope Child” | Hockey Night: “For Guys’ Eyes Only” [Songs]
  I’m listening to the full Stuck on Nothing album thanks to Grooveshark right now, but I don’t think there’s any song on there that will be as good as the one I’d like to feature in this post, “Hope Child”. It surprises me that two completely different songs can be on the same album (“Bang [...] Read More » […]

• Rhapsody vs. Napster vs. Bandcamp.com [Thoughts]
  When there were the wars between Rhapsody and the Yahoo! Music service, I switched to Yahoo! and loved it so much more. There was better selection, the interface was cleaner and easier to use, and the ability to create fine-tuned playlists was outstanding. When the Yahoo! Music service decided to shut its doors, an official [...] Read More » […]

• The Paper Scissors
  This is going to be short and sweet. After listening to 20+ bands on musicSUBMIT.com yesterday, I finally heard something that is worthy of your ears. If you like The Airborne Toxic Event, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Interpol, The National, Of Montreal, and Vampire Weekend, you're going to love this band. […]

• Guerilla Poubelle vs Charly Fiasco [Album Stream]
  If you’ve heard French punk before and think this is going to be the same, think again. Granted I haven’t actually translated the lyrics, but Guerilla Poubelle and Charly Fiasco do it with such sneer and authority that it’s how punk should be — loud, crunchy guitars and in-your-face vocals. Cool stuff. Guerilla Poubelle vs [...] Read More » […]

• Brixton Robbers: “Fuck the Shit” [Song]
  After hearing the Do You Remember When Punk Rock Was for Fun? compilation on Bandcamp released by Big Wheel Records, there were some bands that I wanted to hear more of — Brixton Robbers was one of them, and here is my favorite track of theirs by far. If you like tongue-in-cheek lyrics with awesome [...] Read More » […]

• Do You Remember When Punk Rock Was for Fun? [Song Picks]
  I came across Big Wheel Records when I was searching for “punk” on Bandcamp. I’m glad I did, since the Do You Remember When Punk Rock Was for Fun? has a bunch of good tracks. Here are my picks… Permanent Bastards – Those Forgotten Pioneers The Snips – Tired Tires Bon Vivant – La 236 […]

• Jingle Punx [Song Picks]
  Below are some of my song picks from the cover band (or most of the time), Jingle Punx. Enjoy! Jingle Punx – Beer Run Jingle Punx – Drink It Up Men Jingle Punx – Peter Cottontail Jingle Punx – Scooby Doo […]

• ROAR – I Can’t Handle Change [Album Stream]
  I never heard of ROAR before Quote Unquote Records, which is surprising because they’re very good. With art on the album cover that looks like one of the Three Stooges with Amy Winehouse you might expect a mixture of the two sounds (wait, that doesn’t really make sense). Anyway, if you’re a fan of Built [...] Read More » […]

• The Cheaters: “Angela Marie” [Song]
  It’s been way too long since I posted something, I know. Recently I came across “Angela Marie” by The Cheaters when listening to 500 Miles to Memphis radio on Pandora. Speaking of which, that band’s song “The Regret” is another amazing one — which I’ll write a post about soon. Anyway, usually I don’t like [...] Read More » […]
