I was driving around L.A. in my Blacked Out Suburban (Really!) trying to explain to this girl how 'Rock/Psych/Garage/Punk' etc... *yawn* doesn't mean anything to me anymore.
I am simply unable to relate.
However, I totally understand every single track on this record.
It's as if Birdman and his YMCMB family are speaking directly to my life on numerous levels!

DEATH SQUAD MC Article

2011-04-08T12:58:00.000-07:00

Interesting article regarding both the credibility and authenticity of a clothing/goods designer in Oceanside California. Although I do not personally know the author of the article, nor the designer in question, I do find value in his opinions regarding the exploitation of social sub cultures (in this case motorcycle culture/and apparently Union Made Americana) and the reckless borrowing of others designs and graphics. I do not consider myself an expert on motorcycles even though I have owned a Harley for four years, but I am confident in failing to see any integrity in blatantly branding your business on something you have no perspective on. In addition, after researching the accused designer, it seems they have built an entire identity from the most prevalent trends in the fashion/design industry at the moment without any intention of acknowledging the original concepts or offering a foundation of understanding. It should only feel right to pay tribute to what inspires us and not further dilute the genuine and original article.

Death In June & Les Joyaux De La Princesse- 'Östenbräun'

2011-03-28T18:49:00.001-07:00

Death In June and Les Joyaux de la Princesse collaboration. Originally released in 1989 as two cassettes in a cardboard box with a postcard and mail order form. The initial release was 300 copies, and was later reissued on CD in two forms; 300 in a cardboard box with two inserts, one of which was signed, and 3000 standard copies. Very exceptional, ambient and understated.
A very pleasant blend of French industrial cold wave and neofolk.

A neo-folk necessity, imperative to own.

ADULT LATE NIGHT

2010-11-24T17:32:00.001-08:00

Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions- 'Bavarian Fruit Bread'

2010-11-23T21:57:00.000-08:00

When fashion school chicks turn 22 and move to Brooklyn, they cop an apathetic, brooding attitude toward everything and listen Chelsea Wolfe because it compliments their Ann Demeulemeester. They would buy a Scout Niblett record but 'What is she wearing?!
Well, in 2001 those girls were 13 and Hope Sandoval was delivering soul crushing blows to the human spirit. That's it really.

Mazzy Star- 'So Tonight That I Might See'

2010-11-23T21:39:00.001-08:00

Staying stationary for awhile...

Cowboy Junkies- 'The Trinity Session' and 'The Caution Horses'

2010-11-23T20:49:00.000-08:00

Margo Timmins making it very easy for me to smoke a whole pack sitting alone in the dark. 1988's 'The Trinity Session', featuring the Velvet Underground cover 'Sweet Jane' went platinum in the USA and double platinum in Canada. 'The Caution Horses' released in 1990 features a more polished, pop rock sensibility and contains the singles 'Sun Comes up, It's Tuesday Morning' and 'Rock and Bird'. If 'Trinity' is Van Zandt, I would say 'Horses' is Kristofferson. Neither record does too much for the health of my lungs however.

BSPS- 'Monoliths'

2010-10-29T14:14:00.001-07:00

Derrick Cruz has done it again with his new collection 'Monoliths'.
Each "Monolith" is individually hand-carved from wax and cast directly to metal. Metals used include bronze, copper, white brass and Thai gold. No molds are made of any piece in this series, thus each is one-of-a-kind.

THE CAST NYC- 'BITCH CLUB'

2010-10-29T14:09:00.001-07:00

My good buddies Chuck and Elisa are getting real down on the Lower East Side.
Do yourself a favor and get your girl into some leathers... And pick yourself up some scumbag tee shirts as well!

Young Buck And 6 Tre G- 'The Realest'

2010-10-22T00:16:00.001-07:00

If you download one track this year, this may be the one.
The most important social commentary of the year.
Oh, you don't believe me? Visual proof is provided below.

Boo Rossini And Young Buck- '601 To The 615'

2010-10-21T23:54:00.000-07:00

By far the harshest dose of reality I have heard this year. Features tracks with artists Lil Wayne, 6 Tre G, Young Jeezy and Yo Gotti.
Highly recommended and regarded, Imperative to own.

Young Buck and The Future- 'Back For The Streets'

2010-10-21T23:29:00.000-07:00

Exceptionally refined street bangers from ex G-Unit member and controversy ridden Young Buck produced by The Future.

Superdrag- 'Regretfully Yours' and 'Head Trip In Every Key'

2010-07-06T20:11:00.000-07:00

The second full length from Superdrag and quite possibly their best and most layered elaborate work to date including 'Do The Vampire'.

The debut full length from Superdrag released in 1996 on Elektra featuring the singles 'Sucked Out' (a heavily rotated MTV Buzz Bin favorite) and 'Destination Ursa Major'

Candlebox-Self Titled

2010-07-03T01:44:00.000-07:00

The self titled debut from Seattle's Candlebox sold more than four million copies and peaked at #7 on the Billboard charts in 1993. It's good, trust me. I don't foresee the DumDum Girls attaining this level of success.

The Keggs-To Find Out/Girl

2010-07-03T01:33:00.000-07:00

Possibly the best garage song released in the 60's, 'To Find Out' by Detroit natives The Keggs brazenly rip through two minutes of slurred speech, dissonant guitar, loose drums, and wild abrupt screams. Rumor is that all of the pressings of this record were destroyed in a house fire and shortly after the singer was decapitated on a motorcycle.
My Life...

The Cramps-Psychedelic Jungle

2010-07-03T01:22:00.001-07:00

Psychedelic Jungle was released in 1981 on I.R.S. and featured the guitar playing of Brian Tristan of The Gun Club. This is how the contemporary psych rock 'hip-set' bands wish they could sound like except they're not children of the 50's and music pioneering creeps.

Beat Happening-Dreamy

2010-07-03T01:17:00.001-07:00

Fourth Studio record from Beat Happening released in 1991. Worth it just for 'Red Head Walking'.

2010-07-03T01:06:00.000-07:00

Brilliant edit of 'So Into You' by Shudder To Think off of The Pony Express Record released in 1994.

Shudder To Think

2010-07-03T00:48:00.000-07:00

The last Shudder To Think full length released in 1997 before the group disbanded a year later.

The most underrated alternative rock record of the 1990's from Washington D.C. based Shudder To Think. This was their major label debut from Epic Records.

2010-02-18T19:52:00.000-08:00

Varg Vikernes was finally released from prison on May 24, 2009 from his Norwegian prison sentence after being denied parole four times. Vikernes, also known as 'Count Grishnackh' was serving a prison term for the 1993 murder of Mayhem guitarist Oystein Aarseth and numerous church burnings.
Varg Vikernes had reported to the Dagbladet paper "I'm ready for society — and I have been for many years. I have learned from my mistakes and become older. Now I just want to be together with my family. My mind has never been in prison; I think all the time about what I should do on the day that I am released." He added, "I have barely seen my son since he came into the world. Even though I hear his voice on the phone almost every day, it is very tough to not be present while he is growing up. I miss my family. And I look forward the day that I could work on my farm, create music, write books and be with the wife and kids around the clock — and live a normal life. I have received tremendous support from my family. It means a lot."
Vikernes had serves almost 16 years of a 21 year sentence. He is now living with his family on his farm in Telemark Norway planning a release of new Burzum material.

I look forward to it.
