SOTD: Ramones- ” The KKK Took My Baby Away” (1981)

I think of this song every time some bastard takes away some (would be lucky) femme from me.

Cool vintage video! Man, I need to invent a time machine, so I can take girls with me back to the glorious days of The Ramones. And then after that we will journey to all of the annals of great Rock and Roll! In the meantime, stay tuned for more Rock and Roll.

Finally Next Day Blinds…

Who? Haha, well I bet you know some of the members or their respective bands that became popular in the coming years. Notable members include Cole Alexander, Jack Hines, and Ben Eberbaugh of the Black Lips and Spooks as well as Coline Mee of Deerhunter, amongst others. Naturally, line up changes have occured in those groups and those do not represent the current line ups for either band, but all of those dudes made notable contributions to the aforementioned classic Atlanta bands.

BOTW: Big Mess!

Hey y’all tis a beautiful day in the neighborhood because our prestigious Band of the Week is none other than Lowell’s finest, Big Mess. I’ve seen these guys a few times now and every time they have been outstanding. They are an all instrumental band (at least live), with some great guitar hooks. The drums are truly a powerhouse. All in all, an excellent sonic experience. Check them out!
