When I was a kid, one of the first bands I really latched onto was Creedence Clearwater Revival...I guess it was a combination of that swamp-rock sound, John Fogerty's swampy, yet ferverent voice, and, more than anything else, some damn good songwriting. Oddly, I started with the lesser-known Pendulum album - I guess because it was their most current release when I started buying albums...of cour

A tip of the hat to the late (d. 1985) Mr. Ian Stewart, namechecked in the titile of the fun lil' Led Zeppelin track featured here. For those of you who aren't too familiar, Ian Stewart was originally slated to be a member of the Rolling Stones as their keyboardist (!), but was dispatched post haste to the rubbish bin by their new manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, because his straight-laced look didn't

Due to some computer malfeasance, I haven't had the LUXURY of being able to post anything on here since, well...since AUGUST. So, without further ado...Violent Soho are a new band from Australia...they are noisy, aren't they?

I'd be remiss if I didn't post the sublime original version by the highly underrated Ms. Ann Peebles, so here ya go!

Center focus on this track is placed on the rhythmic underpinnings of the drums, supplemented by deep bass and sparse 'melodic' leads provided by heavily processed guitars and synthesizers.

Here is an AMAZING Minimatic remix of 'Che Les Ye-Ye's', by the King of the hipsters, Mr. Serge Gainsbourg...enjoy, and I defy you to refrain from shaking your booty to this...

Here's a wonderful performance by Bill Landford & the Landfordaires (bit of a clumsy name, eh?), with object lesson in tow...
