Has anyone else checked them out? Not sure how I stumbled onto them (mention in RS? Pandora?) but the covers album is worth every $. The other 3 are fairly straight rock/punk/post/-ish/whatever, pretty solid. But the covers album really gives Nina’s voice a chance to shine (imho). Observe: Exhibit 2: Anyway, check ‘em out. Prowl [...]

This was one of two albums that I was actively looking forward to this year – the other being TV on the Radio’s Nine Types of Light which, while good, was not what I was hoping for. So far, I’m finding this album more satisfying (blasphemy, I know). I’m still not sure if it’s as [...]

(The Band). What, you thought this was going to be some soul-wrenching post about purity? Perish the thought; I’d have to stop sinning first! My first sin was dangerous punctuation. The second, was surely sloth for not posting this yesterday. I have their first album, self-titled, from 2009. And it is good. BUT. It didn’t/doesn’t [...]

Seriously. I find almost as much, if not more “new” old music of quality than I do new new music of quality these days. Some of it is just cases of “finally” getting around to listening to classic albums – like Derek & the Dominoes/Layla & Other Love Songs, which I’ve been playing as the [...]

Just recently my boys (2 & 3.5) decided that they liked Downbound Train [not embedded because I couldn't find the album version] – the title above is an attempt to transfer into letters the sounds that are produced by my oldest when he names the song. Yes, it IS adorable. Maybe they just like it [...]

I found these guys via a helpful suggestion from a TNC commenter. I wish I could remember who it was, and give them props, but I can’t – so whoever you are, know that you are awesome. I love finding stuff from bands with multiple awesome albums. It’s like Christmas jammed into Christmas with free [...]

Dear Leader : All I Ever Wanted was Tonight (2004). I tracked this down because Dear Leader is the band Adam Perrino (singer/songwriter of the late, awesomely great The Sheila Divine (seriously, check them out)) moved on to after The Sheila Divine broke up. This is their second album, I think. I picked the first [...]

I’ve been a fan of Social Distortion for quite a while now, and seen them live a few times but, beyond acknowledging it as one of their weaker songs (and they have many), never gave it much thought. Until I listened to this in the car home the other day, probably for the first time [...]

So, both of these songs came up on my player in the last week, and I haven’t listened to either in ages. In fact, I’d forgotten that both bands had songs on the subject matter. The older track (The Specials/The Special AKA, 1983), : And, of course, They Might Be Giants (which sounds EXACTLY like [...]

I haven’t done one of these in a while, so here we go. The Sheila Divine is a band we first heard while waiting in a club for a Frank Black show. We heard the track Hum (below) and it was so awesome I had to find out who it was. I asked around and [...]
