There are so many staple albums that I listen to on a regular basis, but never posted on because I always assume I already posted it back in ’07 (good year). Of course you know what they say about assuming: It makes you fucking asshole. Dillinger Four’s Situationist Comedy was my first introduction to D4 […]

Well, after a nice long weekend in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I’m back in “so I guess it really is Fall” Philadelphia. It was incredibly depressing waking up this morning, and not having ‘going to the beach and then hit up the hot tub’ as the only things on my to-do list. On […]

Ok, so I’m going to be gone from the blog until Tuesday-ish or so, as I’m heading down to North Carolina for a good friend’s wedding of mine. ~Sigh~ They grow up so fast. I feel like it was just 2 months ago we were out playing 4 square… Oh wait, it was. Here’s to […]

So, it turns out that I got sick a-fucking-gain, hence the lack of posts here at the Housewives. To top it off, I’m going to be leaving for a wedding for a few days…. so you won’t hear anything from me on Thurs, Fri, and Mon. There is a lot of solid shit that needs […]

Last night I headed out to Philly’s North Star Bar to catch Off With Their Heads with The Casualties and Youth Brigade. Since The Casualties were playing, I was expecting the place to be packed, but there was surprisingly a really low turnout. Detournement:First up was Jersey’s Detournement. The members of this band have a […]

Ugh. So melodic hardcore band The Steal announced that their last show will be with Paint it Black and Ceremony on September 18th, at The Peel in Kingston. I was lucky enough to see these guys once open for Armalite in Philly, but at the time I wasn’t familiar with any of their music. They […]

(Dear Blogger and the incredibly incompetent IFPI: This is not an IFPI release. I am on the promo list for Fat Wreck, which, by the way has no association with the RIAA or the IFPI. Don’t believe me? Check the damn Fat Wreck website FAQ. IFPI, you have NO jurisdiction over the label, and have […]

Well… unfortunately it is Monday again which mean that 90% of people (I verify that this statistic is made up) are back at work and/or school. Here’s a miscellaneous assortment of tunes to help get you through the day.MP3:Bouncing Souls-The Freaks, The Nerds, And The Romantics Folly – BrokenSlackers – Everyday is SundayTotally Michael – […]

I seriously don’t think I can see Paint it Black enough. So regardless of the fact that this would be the 3rd time seeing them this year… I headed out to the Philly’s First Unitarian Church to catch them with the legendary Naked Raygun. Yes, you read that right, 80s Chicago punk band re-united and […]

The Bouncing Souls have certainly changed their musical style over the years, but their latest digital release for September (entitled “Badass”) made me nostalgic for their first ever studio release: The Good, The Bad, and The Argyle. A lot of fans often put this album on the back burner (or back on the shelf I […]
