“The Best Day,” by Atmosphere
Sure, it’s only Wednesday. But, still, I like where this is heading.
Honey, I’m home…
Yeah, so I let this thing fall off a bit. Need to get on that. I like sharing. I’m a sharer. Stay tuned for more semi-coherent ramblings and fleeting obsessions. You’ll barely regret it.
“Come Undone” by Isobel Campell and Mark Lanegan
For lovers and drinkers alike.
Ted Leo and The Pharmacists covering Tears For Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”
…performed live in the Onion AV Club’s Round Room.
Superchunk covering The Cure’s “In Between Days”
…classic song given the Superchunk treatment, live in the Onion AV Club’s round room.
Original video for “When I’m Not” by The Magnolias
…catchy as f#ck track 8 from the 1992 album “Off the Hook”
Side Note: This song first debuted as track 7 on the 1988 album, “For Rent.” Information on The Magnolias is scarce, so I cannot find anything that explains this peculiarity.
“Walk a Circle” by The Magnolias
…kick-ass lead track from the 1988 album “For Rent”
Ladies and gentlemen, The Magnolias
…painfully overlooked Minneapolis band. Somehow these guys failed to escape the shadow of Twin City brethren, such as Husker Du, The Replacements, and Soul Asylum. It’s true that The Magnolias were a bit less refined than the heavy-hitters. But what they lacked in grace, they made up for hooks. Check ‘em out.
New video for “Heathen Child” by Grinderman
…a bounty of noise, weirdness, and groove from Nick Cave and his sadistic side-project, Grinderman. Dig it…or else.
Mountain performing “Southbound Train,”
…live at Woodstock, Saturday, August 16th, 1969
