I got shit to say tonight, but first some shameless self-promotion of my great critical analysis.Sunfold: Toy Tugboats - This CD pissed me the fuck off. I had a hard enough time explaining why in a quick blurb review, so I'm not going to do it again here. You want to find out why I hated it so much? Read the review.Chapters: Wife - Ian Curtis is alive and living in St. Louis?Lykke Li: Youth Nov...

Quick business/self-promotion to take care of. New reviews (by me) time:Monkey - Gorillaz do Chinese opera! Better writers than me have told me this is the best review I've ever written. I don't know how that's possible, since I don't threaten to assault a record executive or compare emo to the holocaust, but whatever.Hybrid: Soundsystem 01 - Great trance mix. Reviewing trance is a bitch though...

The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame announced this year's nominees yesterday. There are some noteworthy bands up for it this year, and hopefully the ones that really deserve it (Run DMC, IGGY FUCKING POP) will get in. But even if they do the Rock Hall has a lot of ground to make up in order to become remotely respectable again. Don't forget, these asshole let The Bee Gees and The Eagles in. Those tw...

Hurray for my commentors making my job much easier! Almost all of tonight selections were given to me by you very awesome people who have graced my very awesome blog with your very awesome presence. If any of you want to get hooked up with something, email me. This only applies to anyone who has sent me something, and you have to prove that you're you. I ain't hooking up everyone. I don't want ...

I bought Rock Band 2 over the weekend. Get it. It's awesome. If you haven't checked out the setlist for it, let me tell you, it's amazing. I expected to see classics like "Anyway You Want It" and "Aqualung" but there are some inclusions that are just totally awesome. "Painkiller" bitches! Heaviest song ever and a blast to play, even if I can't sing it for shit. I was also stoked to see "Rebel G...

Man, just when I was putting forth a concentrated effort to cheer myself up fucking Richard Wright dies. Pink Floyd got me through a musical dark patch in my life years ago. After grunge died out but before I discovered indie rock I was pretty much a classic rock/heavy metal fan exclusively (although I was oddly into Big Beat Techno as well) and Pink Floyd was my favorite band for a good five y...

I actually was able to hook up my turntable to my laptop without it sounding like complete ass, so I might actually record some shit this week. Does anyone know how good Audacity is when it comes to recording/audio clean-up? With my computer dying and other crap I've had a really shit week and while that usually means industrial music for all of you I'm going to mix it up a bit and try to stay...

My computer finally bit the big one today. It was the end of a long illness and its death should be celebrated as an end the suffering its endured for the past few years. Also, all my important stuff was backed up on an external hard drive, so it's not the complete end of the world. However, it does pose a problem since the laptop I am currently working on has no audio outputs for me to hook u...

I get much love from the comments: "There MIGHT be another post in a few hours. Don't get your hopes up too much though." FUCK. Do you really think that anyone cares about what you have to say? the only reason anyone goes to your blog is to download music for free. How does one respond to such insightful criticism? List my site statistics that show my rapidly growing fanbase? Reprint letters an...

There MIGHT be another post in a few hours. Don't get your hopes up too much though. New music review roundup: Motorhead: Motorizer - Fucking metal!! DragonForce: Ultra Beatdown - Fucking power metal!! Toadies: No Deliverance - Fucking...I dunno..um, it's really good!! And although I'm not reviewing it I do have to say that the new Metallica album is surprisingly not entirely awful. Yeah, I'...

First some business must be attended to. I am tired of getting variations of the following comment:"Dude, where are the songs?"Okay, now I want you to look at the top left corner of the sidebar. See the part that says "songs are only available for a limited time"? Good. Now piss off I got shit to do. Moving on. A few days ago a commenter asked if I could tape my "record hunts/digs" to show wha...

Tonight's post is vagtastical.Be Your Own PetBicycle RaceBicycle, Bicycle (Summer Summer EP version)The only time Pitchfork and I have been in complete in total agreement is in regards to this band. We both loved their first CD, liked very much their second and were completely and totally fucking bummed when they decided to call it quits this month. I had the lucky opportunity to see the whirli...

Super-ultra-cool Pop Will Eat Itself tracks! Hot off the turntable! I'm so happy I found these that I don't even want to complain and rant tonight! I know, I'm shocked and disappointed too, but don't worry my feelings of joy and happiness will soon pass.I'm going to try to explain where all these tracks came from and where else you can get them, but it's a little confusing and I'm writing this ...

Yikes.I wasn't going to post anything else this week but I found two soundtrack so batshit nuts crazy that I had to force myself to make time.Sounds From True Stories - Music For Activities FreaksI have a music/movie nerd confession to make...I've never seen True Stories.

Double Argh. Life is totally dominating my...um...life right now, so I apologize again for the lack of posts and the lack of amazing commentary by me in said posts. Too tired to talk right now.If you're looking for a rant go read my review of the new Lost Boys soundtrack. Holy fuck it's balls.DokkenBack For The AttackLittle known fact: I am totally metal. Doubt my metalness? Last week I went to...

Argh. It's been a long week and now Friday is approaching and I realize that I've only put up one post this week. That pisses me off because my backlog of awesome shit to put up is getting opressive again. I have to head out of town this weekend and I'm kind of throwing this post together just because I wanted to put something up, so it is super random, even for me.Faith No MoreAshes To Ashes (...

I've previously expounded on the ups and downs of working as a freelance music reviewer, but today I was exposed to a new low, lower than even that damn Tokio Hotel album.I had to review the soundtrack to Lost Boys: The Tribe, the straight-to-DVD sequel to The Lost Boys AKA the second greatest 80s vampire movie (Near Dark wins bitches). It was painful and a little bit of me died inside when I h...

I'm totally addicted to NBC.com's Olympic video site. Late night handball marathons motherfucker!Beastie BoysRock HardThis was one of the Beastie Boys' first singles and it's kind of (in)famous since it can never be re-released because AC/DC won't clear the very obvious sample of "Back In Black." What a bunch of dicks. I guess they are too busy signing exclusive deals with Wal-Mart to do anythi...
