Snoop has gone reggae

So I'm in the car listening to a song by Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeroes on the radio, and when it's over the dj said it was by Monsters and Men. That's so uneconomical it makes me puke. Why do we need two of those bands? And people get mad at me for not driving a hybrid...

John Prine fans:

Somehow this particular This Mortal Coil song never caught my attention until today:

Hadn't ever read the poem it's adapted from it, either.

I was at the show Dave Grohl is talking about.

I picked up the new Soundgarden album, King Animal. I've listened to it twice now and am pleasantly surprised. I wasn't very optimistic when I heard they were "coming back", but it is definitely a Soundgarden album (if that makes any sense). Nothing cutting edge or different, but they didn't change who they are.

Chris Cornell sounds a little older, but he can still wail. They still rock with their unusual time movements/changes/shifts. It's a bit overproduced, but not too much. They released some demos and you can buy the "extras" CD which I recommend. This album could have come out in in 1998 and fans wouldn't think they skipped a beat...and that's kind of cool.

I stopped off to buy it today after court. As I was making the purchase while wearing a suit, it dawned on me that the phrase 'the more things change, the more they stay the same' never had as much meaning as it did right then and there.

And I'm OK with that. Rock on GRB!

On June 6th, 1987 Howard Kremer made a radio tape. 25 years later to the day Howard and fellow hip-hop enthusiast Jensen Karp (AKA Hot Karl) rediscovered it. Now sit back and enjoy a treasure trove of audio from America’s first hip-hop program.

Six hours a week New York radio stations WBLS and KISS broadcast the birth of hip-hop, straight from its birthplace. Their frequencies traveling through the night air to the warm transistors and boom boxes of a then teenaged Howard Kremer. This innovative new style of music completely informed the rest of Howard’s life, and forever changed his and countless others’ taste in music.
