Les Savy Fav

“I don't know if we're trying to leave a message, but the last time we lived in hard times economically, the fallout from that, musically, was punk. Now we're suffering again and we get what? Freak folk? What was an enraged punk energy now seems to be more pacified punk apathy, whatever that means. The 70s was like a baby temper tantrum and this is like a baby with a snuggy rubbing its nose. I'm not sure that's a good thing."   -Tim Harrington (Les Savy Fav) via The Skinny

OFF!

This is exactly what rock 'n roll needs right now... music with some fucking balls!  Members of Black Flag,  Rocket From The Crypt, and Burning Brides have teamed up to form one hell of a band.  Punk aint dead fool...

ASS - 'My Get Up And Go Just Got Up And Went'

 

My favorite piece of music at the moment.  Perfect for a lazy snowy day with a glass of Jack Daniels in hand.  The musician is Andreas Soderstrom.  He is from Sweden and knows how to pick at a guitar.  Whatch him tear up the upright... (sorry for the shite ad at the start).

Aphex Twin is an alien. 'Melodies fom Mars'

I have always thought that Aphex Twin was ahead of his time.  I have also thought that he is not from this planet.  In coming across this album from '95, I proved myself correct.  He is an alien.  An alien who can produce really good music. 

Deerhunter - 'Desire Lines'

I am completely hooked on this song.  I cant stop listening to it.  It is perfectly imperfect, and thats why I love it.  Simple and melancholy with catchy vocals.  Deerhunter's new album, Halcyon Digest = good shit.
