SOME GREAT MUSICS VOLUME #18.


NO AGE.

This band is seriously rockalock. Hailing from smelly Los Angeles. The two piece is the illegitimate child of the DIY movement of years past. Its a fully realized merge of garage punk and noise and its fucking beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. GOD I FUCKING LOVE THEM. AH. It has so much energy its so great yak yak yak.

SHOW CITY VOLUME # 1.


HOT CHIP


Saw them last night at the Fillmore. There's never been a band to go so wikki wild live before ever. Its not even that they dance around a lot, because the don't. They have too many guitar bass and keyboard duties to attend to. But somehow, they get the whole crowd dancing so hard that you start to get a hemorrhage in your head. I don't know how it happens. Its wild, go see them as soon as possible.

SOME GREAT MUSICS VOLUME #17.


HUSKER DU.

"Most uplifting band of all time." I read that in a book somewhere. No I didn't, thats not true. Husker Du was a hardcore punk band from Minnesota throughout the 80s. The albums I have, Zen Arcade and New Day Rising will rock the shit out of you. Think like, the energy of Don't Stop Believin' but actually good songs. Thats Husker Du. Go listen and blow your fucking head off.

SOME GREAT MUSICS VOLUME #16.


MAN MAN.

WILD WILD band. These guys are from Philidelphia and make stuff that is very reminiscent of Tom waits.  Not copying him. Just paying homage to him. Like, Tom Waits obsessed grindcore.  No, not like that. That doesn't even exist. They're just a great band that employs the use of action figures, dogs barking in bathtubs, and fireworks to achieve a sound that is very unique and very catchy at the same time. Not many musicians can pull that off.

Alkaline Trio Artwork?

  
                           
Maybe you know of them, maybe you don't. But I was just listening to some of the new Alkaline Trio and I found that Matt Skiba, the lead singer/ guitar, does artwork. I found his pieces to be interesting. And I thought I might share them.

Food.


I have to say, Food, the greatest 'thing' to ever exist. Me, being who I am, love eating food. I find eating very, very fun. Usually when I it becomes a bonding experience. I usually eat with my family and my family LOVES sushi. It is very, very good. If you have no tried sushi i suggest you must try it. Though if you are allergic stay away. No one wants to get sick. 
But that brings me to my next point, TRYING NEW FOODS. WOO! nothing more exciting than trying new foods. If you have every watched the show Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmer. HolyMoley! Now that guy is living the life. He gets paid to travel the world, AND EAT! He travels all over to different countries in search of the, well you guessed it, bizarrest foods. He has a stomach like no other person alive. He has eaten everything from 1,000 year old eggs in Japan (which that was actually the only thing that he could not actually eat, so maybe he doesn't have the iron stomach. But at least we know he is human) to 3 month old rotting shark in Iceland.
Now this guy has been such an inspiration to me. He makes trying new things fun. I know that sounds corny but he has. Now every time i go out to eat anywhere i will try something new. For pretty much my whole life i have never eaten fish until recently. Now I LOVE it, any kind of seafood I eat. I actually just as MonkFish liver the other night, and I loved it. It was very, very good. And I always look forward to trying new and disgusting sounding foods all the time. I usually go for the worst sounding things on the menu.
Food. The Worlds Past Time. Eat foods, try new things, put your stomach to the test.

SOME GREAT MUSICS VOLUME #15.


JAY REATARD.

FATTEST MUSICIAN IN THE WORLD. Just kidding, he's not that fat. But, he is ugly and thats half the reason I love him. Jay Reatard has been making awesome shitty music for this side of a almost a decade, starting with his first band called The Reatards to his current solo album called Blood Visions. Its all rock, its all garbage, and i love it. Go listen. 

^OH SUCH A SHAME.

SOME GREAT MUSICS VOLUME #14.


M83.


These guys go BUCKWILD. MAN, I've been saying that a lot. M83 is a synth led band from France. They ball hard. I've heard a few people describe them as "music for an imax theatre" or something to that effect. Its definitely true. Their sound is huge. I can't even think how they could get so big a sound. It hits you in waves in most songs and just gets deeper and deeper. Most bands with this sort of direction become background music after a while, and that is barely true with this band. Listen to them, okay?
