Here’s a live video I recently viewed of my favorite Atlas Sound song, “Artificial Snow.” I know I’m a little behind and I’m sure Christmas is the last thing on everyone’s mind, but nonetheless this is a great performance from Bradford.
Today is John Belushi’s birthday and if he were alive today he would be 63. Sadly, he died thirty years ago today. RIP and Happy Birthday!
I love the Black Flag shirt! He was a big fan and tried to get them on SNL like he did for Fear. Belushi and old school punk rock always makes a great combo.
I miss these guys! Definitely one of the most underated bands of the past five years or more.
“I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia or if it’s actually good—I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s good. I love it.”*- Moses Archuleta, drummer for Deerhunter on “The Adventures of Pete and Pete,” but inadvertantly explaining how I feel about the 90s in general.
Indeed it was a great show and I love it too!

This song is dedicated to anyone out there that supports SOPA or PIPA, or any other Constitution violating law. I will not be a happy camper if the government blacklists KLYAM.

Can’t wait to see these guys at the Paradise Rock Club (Sunday, January 29, Boston, MA)!
As we close 2011, we celebrate the bands that made it special and Shannon and The Clams is certainly one of them. That is why they are this week’s Band of the Week. Check out their album Sleep Talk, it’s nuts! I really want to see this band live.
