The Solution 2007-12-04 19:21:00 I found this cd used recently - The Solution
- Communicate! It's really different from what I normally listen to but I've started really liking it. It's Scott Morgan (Sonic's Rendezvous Band) and Nicke Andersson (Hellacopters) together on one album. "I Have To Quit You""My Mojo Ain't Working No More"
Heartless Bastards 2007-12-04 14:53:00 If for no other reason you have to like them for their name--especially because the singer is a chick, Erika Wennerstrom. One thing for sure, she has a very unique voice.Still trying to decide how much I like them. Some of the stuff borders too poppy for my taste, but I definitely appreciate the breadth of their style. Chech 'em out.New Resolution from the Stairs and Elevators album.

Hear the first song from Dig, Lazarus, Dig! 2008-01-02 14:57:00 Thanks to our international news reporter from the Great White North, Big O, for letting me know you can now check out the newest Nick Cave at www.nickcaveandthebadseeds.com. It's a catchy ass tune that you'll be humming a while after hearing it.Nick Cave on DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!!:"Ever since I can remember hearing the Lazarus
story, when I was a kid, you know, back in church, I was disturbed and worried by it. Traumatized, actually. We are all, of course, in awe of the greatest of Christ's miracles - raising a man from the dead - but I couldn't help but wonder how Lazarus felt about it. As a child it gave me the creeps, to be honest. I've taken Lazarus and stuck him in New York City, in order to give the song, a hip, contemporary feel. I was also thinking about Harry Houdini who spent a lot
Nick Cave 2008-03-12 16:31:00 AMSTERDAM 2008!! Besides smoking an insane amount of dope.......we will be seeing Nick Cave

Misc. Debris 2008-03-19 13:12:00 So here's what's coming up that y'all might be interested in checking out.Slim Cessna's new album, Cipher, is coming out on March 25th. You can download a couple of songs from their website here. From what I've heard, it's vintage Slim Cessna, which means it is damn good! The Rocket from the Crypt R.I.P. CD/DVD is out and available. I ordered mine yesterday and am anxiously waiting it's arrival. The Night Marchers release has been moved back to April 22nd, but keep your eyes out for them because they are touring. And of course, if you haven't bought it, or ordered it, there is Dig, Lazarus, Dig! I got my copy and it is a must have. Many reviews are already calling it the album of 2008, which ain't bad considering it is only March. Read more:Debris
We're lagging losers!!! 2008-03-19 13:11:00 OK, time to get this place moving again. Let's get on it sucka-fools!
Henry Rollins 2008-03-23 18:42:00 We met HenryRollins
after the show last weekend. It was a really, really good show. He was on for three hours and it was funny as hell!
Demons 2008-03-27 21:20:00 Check these guys out - Demons
. got most of their cd's...I think. Their hard as hell to find. They just released a new EP "Her Name Was Tragedy." You can check it on their myspace page. It sounds really, really good. It's too bad I have no idea where to pick it up from.
The best video ever? 2008-03-27 15:49:00 Probably not, but it is Hanging Ten in East Berlin, so the fact they even made a video
has to be worth something!

Good Nick Cave interview 2008-04-01 13:05:00 Pitchfork InterviewCheck it out. A good interview
with Nick about the new album, Grinderman, being inducted into the Australian Hall of Fame, and more. Nick Cave: Yes, that's another thing that's happened because of Grinderman. Grinderman embraced a lot of that stuff. Maybe it had something to do with Blixa [Bargeld] leaving the Bad Seeds too, I don't know. Blixa had an absolute disdain for anything like that, anything that was kind of conventional in terms of rock and roll. His whole approach to music was just different from that. With Blixa leaving, I think that Warren moved forward a little bit more. And he loves rock and roll, although he approaches it in a unique way as well. I think that came out in Grinderman, and there are elements of that that have come through to this record.
A bit of this, a bit of that 2008-04-20 15:13:00 Been a while I know but some new stuff out there thought you all may dig...Another Swedish import... Miss Li has some of the catchiest tunes out there. Her influences are many and her sound is unique. Check out some videos and streaming audio on her MySpace page. Don't listen to Oh Boy unless you want it in your head for the next 5-6 WEEKS. Playing at the HOB Los Angeles on April 28.Also from across the pond is Frank Turner. Some really funny, bitter and intelligent songs from this Englishman. If I had to compare I would say he's similar to Steve Poltz in song composition but his view of love and life is even more askew. Askewer? Kabobs? I digress. Check out some videos and streaming audio on his MySpace page. The Ballad of Me and My Friends is probably one of my faves. Playing
The Nomads 2008-04-21 22:06:00 Check these guys out - The Nomads. I just picked up their cd - Nomadic Dementia: The Best Of The First 25 Years. Its gotta be one of the best cd's I've picked up in a long time. out Monomen too. Another awesome band I just started listening to.
New Barry Adamson Album out 2008-04-21 12:02:00 Barry Adamson's newest album Back to the Cat is out now. I downloaded mine this weekend and it is a damn fine piece of work. You can hear a sample on his Myspace page. The album is kind of a mix of all his styles so far. Some jazz-noir, some funky soul, some movie soundtrack sounding songs, and a little bit of everything else. I also found this little video on youtube - Barry and Nick Cave performing together: Read more:Barry

Nick Cave - Heineken Music Hall 2008-05-08 18:09:00 I just got back from Amsterdam! It was my first time seeing him and was easily one of the best concerts I have ever seen. He played almost the whole new album. - Dig, Lazarus, Dig! - Today's Lesson - Night Of The Lotus Eaters - We Call Upon The Author - Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl) - Jesus Of The Moon - Midnight Man - More News From NowhereI would have liked to here Albert Goes West instead of a couple of those songs but oh well...He also played.

The Hold Steady - New Single Released 2008-05-22 13:44:00 Check it out here. It's from their new album Stay Positive that will be available July 15th. Has some more horns than previous stuff, but still sounds good to me.
Big Drill Car reunites! 2008-05-26 13:08:00 And not only that, they are also playing with Supernova!Of course, I am against all reunion shows on general principle, but still, Fitzgerald's is barely 5 minutes away and it would be cool to see them there... Read more:Drill
The Sound LA - 100.3 2008-06-09 17:42:00 I just stumbled upon this station one day when I forgot my iPod and couldn't find anything on the radio. It isn't the best station ever by any means, but it is definitely different from the usual suspects we have to listen to these days. The first time I listened I heard Death Cab for Cutie followed by Fleetwood Mac. I've also heard Vampire Weekend followed by Neil Young. Quite the mix - here's a Read more:Sound
New Calexico song available for free. 2008-08-01 20:14:00 Two Silver Tree MP3 Supposedly a new album is coming out in September and this is one of the songs. I like it much better than a lot of what was on Garden Ruin, which was a big disappointment for me. Read more:Calexico

Lucero 2008-07-31 16:53:00 I recently was turned on to these guys and I am digging them. If you like the alt-country or punk country stuff, they'll be right up your alley. They're a band that has been tagged as alt-country and punk country. They're a band that has written plenty of songs about girls and guitars, and about life, love, drinking, and life, love, and drinking while on the road. They expanded their lyrical palet
Tom Waits Show Review 2008-07-31 14:55:00 Times OnlineSounds as though he put on a helluva show. Too bad he isn't coming to the west coast on this tour. During the two-hour performance that followed, Waits
wove a spell as intricate and engaging as that of any performer I can remember seeing on a musical stage. Read more:Tom Waits
