You Give Me Fever

i used to always think that if i were to be a palm tree,
things would be swell.
turns out having that many dates at once can be hell.
*badum-psshhh*
sue me.

Fire Party - the Curtains (psychobilly)
one of our country's finest psychobilly band, i've heard great things about their live performances & their recordings are well done. listen well, you may see these boys doing great things before you know it.


Skylarking - XTC (new wave/psychedelic)
even though the band hates the shit out of this album, people consider it their finest work. reminds me of '68 Beatles with a bit of early Kinks and a twist of synth junk.


Separates - 999 (punk)
second album from an early london punk band. strangely, i was introduced to this band through a Manic Hispanic parody. spooky eh scoob?

I Don't Wanna Die For Indio

i'm sick and tired of being beaten down by your words,
they drag me up & down breathy staircases.
if your lips shoot me with another venomous line,
i'm going to stand right up, look you in the eye
and say:
'shhhh'

/music


Songs of Praise - the Adicts (punk)
are you a joker in the pack? if you don't have this album, you're not. so get with the times & enjoy this great album.


Worship & Tribute [drum & bass] - Glassjaw (posthardcore)
this is a must-have for any fans of gJ, all it's composed of is the bass & drum tracks from the album W&T. it's an interesting way to listen to Gj's most popular album. i like to think so..


Braindrops - the Fuzztones (garage)
fuzzy punk from NY's best garage outfit. thank you rudi protrudi.

Dance With the Devil's Uncle

do you ever wonder if animals feel any type of emotion?
i have,
so i rounded up a group composed of a dog, a cat, two iguanas & a horse.
i taught them how to live in society and live like humans.
in the end, they all formed a suicide pact and offed themselves.
leaving a note that read:
''lief iz a reel dowhner''
never did get to teach them proper grammar..

/music


It's Alive - the Ramones (punk live)
a classic set from one of my favorite bands. you must have it in your collection.


Walk Among Us - the Misfits (punk)
i first bought this album when i was 13, it blew me away, it still is my favorite album to this day.


S/T - the xx (dream pop/lo-fi)
filler. but dreamy filler. get it and find out..

You Cold Busted

i think i've had too much to drink.
'i'll tell you when i've had enough!'
sometimes i wish you'd come home.
'why don't you just stay away forever!'
i love you.
'bye'

Big Beat From Badsville - the Cramps (psychotic rock 'n roll)
at 320 anything sounds awesome. haha. plus it's the Cramps.


Southern Boys - Legendary Raw Deal (rockabilly)
one of paul fenech's side projects, i like this one most. classic roots stuff, ya know?


the Mirror Conspiracy - Thievery Corporation (trip hop/dub)

It's So Lonely Coming Down

all of these little lies are eventually going to catch up to you.
i'm going to play stupid until then,
'just smile & nod', i told myself.
know this, the longer it takes for the truth to come out,
the worse it shall be for you.
i suggest you get it over with,
so everyone can be happy.
pull the goddamn trigger.

/music


Psychotic Sounds For Freaks & Weirdos [strange house] - the Horrors (garage punk)
their first full length release, a bit tame compared to their first EP but it's just as good. i need to stop doing this, i need to just tell you if it's good or not. it's good.


Treasure - Cocteau Twins (dream pop/post-punk)
i recently got into this group, they're hypnotic & dark, just the way i like 'em. it's good.


Sodbusters - Long Tall Texans (psychobilly)
a classic, from start to finish, this is good ol' psycho rock 'n roll. it's good.

Life Is Just A Party

i enjoy being overly dramatic,
it's the 'cool' thing to do, in my world anyway.
i'm sure you can tell,
what with all of my poor attempts at being deep,
in each of my posts.
sometimes i go back and read them,
i'm about as deep as a puddle.

/music

The Don Killuminati (7 Day Theory) - 2Pac (hip hop)
a classic from Makaveli, it hits hard and leaves an imprint on ya.


This Island - Le Tigre (riot grrrl electronic pop)
a toned down album from our ladies in LT, in comparison to their self-titled release, this is easy listening. i said it.


The Living Road - Lhasa De Sela (latin/french/english-mesh eclectic soul pop)
another album from my favorite multilingual singer. a little darker this time around which makes it that much better.

Youth Gone Wild

i had a dream about a dead person last night,
except in this dream,
they kept on living and i was the dead.
i liked the change of pace, but i'd rather keep my place.
who wants to be dead anyway?

/music


British Steel - Judas Priest (heavy metal)
a real heavy rocker from the guys in Judas Priest, one of my favorite cuts from them. it's fast-paced, melodic as shit & a punch in the face.


The Chronic - Dr.Dre (hip hop)
along with Snoop's Doggystyle, as a kid this album was all i would listen to. i thank my mother & father for being who they are and introducing me to the doctor.


Castaways & Cutouts - the Decemberists (nautical folk rock)
i love almost anything this group does, i also enjoy boats & sailors & other sea-faring things. go figure.

If Cats Could Cry

i chucked stones across a house,
i broke my record because it was far too scratched,
i tossed a brick,
and killed a cat.

it is the beginning of a new month, second day or not,
it has just started.
i wouldn't mind if anyone decided to join my blog,
i want new contributors.
if anyone is interested, feel free to e-mail me.

also,
big 'ups' to yesenia.
thanks for enjoying the shit fest i consider a blog.
:^)

Power - Ice-T (hip hop)
ice's second album, i remember i bought it for the album cover when i was 16, i can never pass up a sharp dressed ice-t. i mean, who could? thankfully, it wasn't a 'judge-a-book-by-it's-cover' kinda deal, as the album is great.


the Record - Fear (punk)
a must have for anyone. 77 at it's finest, although recorded in '81. fa.


Holy Diver - Dio (heavy metal)
for about a week after listening to this, i was constantly avoided by god fearing citizens on the street, i could never figure out why. i mean, it's only ronnie james dio. :/

muha, muha.

i have decided to pass out apples with razorblades in them.
happy haunting.
/music


Bossanova - Pixies (sub pop rock)
almost the end of the line for our favorite incestuous rockers. a classic album.


Midnight Marauders - A Tribe Called Quest (hip hop)
a good listen for casual fans of hip hop or hardcore fans of a tribe called quest.


Unclogged - X (acoustic punk)
a wonderful session from one of los angeles' greatest punk bands. get this.

Inject Me With Love

it's getting cold.
the clouds have been rolling in & out daily,
the rain has yet to make an appearance.

'shoot me in the face, yeah?'
"okay"
'with what?'
"a water gun"
'that'll never do..'
"why not?"
'because i want to feel something'
"don't worry, i'll tuck you in the for big sleep"
/music


Deliver The Word - War (soul)
this is my father's favorite War album, i felt the need to spread it about. enjoy it as he & i have.


Peel Sessions (December 10 1979) - Joy Division (post-punk)
the version of Love Will Tear Us Apart is beautiful. much better than the studio recording.


Hell's Winter - Cage (hip hop)
a darker release from Stoney Lodge's outpatient, one of my favorites of his work.
