Cocteau Twins – “Heaven or Las Vegas” »

This song is a mystical wonderful experience; it is transition time for the Twins known as Cocteau on the album of the same name, and all of this despite the fact that my granddaughter is a flaming lesbian from the Land of Wind and Ghosts. A great deal of bittersweet lead guitar […]

Stereolab – “Three Women” »

I do not know if this Stereolab cut from the new album “Chemical Chords”, which is to be released in August, is in reference to the Robert Altman film “3 Women” or not. The lyrics, however, are sung entirely in French and not enough interviews have been conducted as of yet to get this […]

Best Ramones Tunes (That I Have Heard) »

Now, I don’t know very much about The Ramones or their albums or their lifestyle, or what have you. I will say that I do know that I like a handful of their tunes. Now, please allow me to share them with you…
”I Don’t Wanna Go Down To The Basement”, pretty cool and […]

Beck ~ “Chemtrails” »

Okay, at times this almost sounds like an introspective Stereolab cut, and those familiar with “The Black Arts” from “Sound-Dust” will get what I mean exactly. Also, Beck is emoting in some sort of Morrissey universe here in places as well, so basically, he doesn’t exactly sound like himself. Truthfully, anything beats that […]

The Doors – “Wild Child” »

This song is off their fourth record which was released in 1969 entitled “The Soft Parade”, the album had a chart-topper in “Touch Me”, and indeed we all did. While it must be said that Jim Morrison was part lizard, which is something that I always found difficult, as I being a man naturally […]

“Dollars and Cents” - Radiohead »

“Dollars and Cents” is the 8th track from Radiohead’s 2001 album Amnesiac, which is often unfairly looked at as a “collection of Kid A b-sides.” While I do not believe it’s as good as Kid A (not many albums are), it does stand up on it’s own as an excellent album.
It’s always been one […]

“Norwegian Wood” - The Beatles »

“Norwegian Wood” is the second track from The Beatles 1965 album Rubber Soul.
It was their first song that made use of a sitar. Sitar, which is an Indian instrument that George Harrison had become fascinated with in ‘65, would also be featured on 1966’s Revolver and 1967’s Sgt. Pepper. The song has a mature […]

Shoe Salesman & Skull (But reverse the order) »

Hello! Today we have a two-for-one going folks, just like a Patty Deutsch special-guest-appearance on Match Game! Firstly, let’s look at Sebadoh’s “Skull”, shall we now? Far be it from me to enjoy the music of Sebadoh, Dinosaur JR, or even Folk Implosion for that matter…but regardless yo, “Skull” is one awesome […]

“Lights In The Sky” - Nine Inch Nails »

Trent Reznor released the new NIN album The Slip on Monday. I’ve only listened through it a couple of times so far but my favorite track at this point is “Lights In The Sky.”
It sounds a bit like “1 Ghosts” as far as mood goes. Without the heavy distortion that’s on the piano in […]

Beck – “My Mind is On You” »

This is a Beck song that is largely unknown, to animal and animal alike, perhaps even vegetable. I will say that this is a beautiful little number, think Simon & Garfunkel and then drink a large soda pop with ice, and you may perchance to comprehend the song of which I am speaking. […]
