Back in college, there was a rule that a friend/roommate and I made that stated anytime Kid Dynamite came on in our room, we had to mosh, regardless of the conditions (studying, sleeping, showering, whatever).

I’m not usually much for compilations- they’re too uneven. But I was poking around emusic looking for something new to listen to and decided on the strength of the artists I knew to download the Magic Markers comp “A House Full of Friends.” It’s like listening to a mix from a buddy. Each band is […]

The first time I heard this album it was around 3 in the morning on a weekday and my first thought was “Fuck. Now I’m gonna have to stay up even later listening to this a million times.” Granted sleep has never been a big priority for me, but even if I had more important […]

Remember that Better Know A Letter series? Updates to come… really… Anyway if you don’t want to wait for that my buddy just started a GRE vocab blog called Get Me Into Grad School.

You Ain’t No Picasso is my favorite blog. Even on days when I ignore the rest of the Internet I still usually swing by the site to see what new MP3s Matt has up. Thats why even though I wasn’t a huge fan of the songs he posted, after reading his enthusiastic recommendation; I picked […]

To say that The King Blues was a complete dub/reggae assault would be limiting this London band. While there is plenty of amazing dub on their album “Under The Fog”, from the deep percussion almost Capdown influenced “Blood On My Hands” and “Come Fi Di Youth” to the familiar Slightly Stoopid sound of “Mr. Music […]
