This isn’t a political blog but just for the heck of it I thought I’d throw my two cents in on the democratic presidential debate tonight. And hey here’s some music too! Dennis Kucinich– I am proud to call Denis Kucinich my myspace friend. I love Kucinich, I think he’s by far the best candidate, […]
The Slackers
I moved to Brooklyn a couple weeks ago so it’s about time I showed some blog love for a Brooklyn band. And since I have yet to find a job what better band than the Slackers? I think one of the most interesting Slackers albums is 2003’s Close My Eyes. More than typical party-ska Close […]

Radio Silence
No music today folks. Today, June 26th is a National Day of Silence for internet radio and the Housewives are showing solidarity. “On March 2, 2007 the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB), which oversees sound recording royalties paid by Internet radio services, increased Internet radio’s royalty burden between 300 and 1200 percent and thereby jeopardized the […]
Luna
A friend lent me Luna’s album Rendezvous a couple of hours ago and I already have a burning desire to tell the world about it. I don’t know how I missed this band before, they’ve been around since 1991. Anyway I highly recommend Rendezvous, singer Dean Wareham’s voice is a nice complement to the jittery […]
I’m A Fucked Up Dancer, But My Moods Are SWINGING!
Greatest. Album. Title. Ever. Which is appropriate that the band I Against I would be really creative with their album name on account their band name is stolen from a Bad Brains song (a hella good song). Anyways, back in their heyday, I Against I hailed from Holland, and never really caught on over here […]
John Vanderslice
Vanderslice, go ahead, say it out loud, Vanderslice! What a great name. To be honest I get kind of bored by his recorded work but I’ve seen him open for the Mountain Goats at a few shows and each time his energy and showmanship have astounded me. TinyMixTapes has a fantastic interview with Mr. Vanderslice […]
Adem
Adem Ilhan is most well known as the bass player for Fridge but beginning in 2003 he began recording indie/folk under the name Adem releasing Homesongs in 2004 and Love and Other Planets last year. Although some track have quite a bit of instrumentation they still have a sparse beauty. His crooning reminds me of […]
Bambi’s Dilemma
silverunity: It’s no big surprise that we housewives love Melt Banana, although I never thought I’d be saying this… Melt Banana is punk rock as all hell, and Bambi’s Dilemma proves it. Bambi’s Dilemma, which Melt Banana released last month, was under fire from longtime fans, saying that it wasn’t experimental enough, and some even […]
Spoon
I like Spoon’s new album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga like I like the rest of Spoon’s albums, in small doses. It’s really great catchy music and Brit Daniel’s crisp voice is the perfect complement to the tightly orchestrated parts. The problem is by the end of the album it all starts to sound the […]
