Good evening Rock and Rollers, here’s the (somewhat) new, badass music video for Shannon and the Clam’s “Sleep Talk,” the final track from the album of the same name. A review of this album will be up soon!

SOTD: Mark Dinning- “Teen Angel” (1960)
This is a really sad song of the “teen tragedy” variety; just listen to the words.
BUT! on a brighter note, this is a classic from the American Graffitti soundtrack (1973), of which I listen to religiously, especially during the summertime, and whadya know the sun is out and so am I… peace!
Cloud Nothings- “Hey Cool Kid”
Speaking of Wavves, I saw these cool kids, Cloud Nothings open for Wavves, nearly a year ago (June 22, 2010) at the Great Scott and though I have checked out their music from time to time, I recently stumbled upon this performance and I was really blown away by it… so blown away I just had to share it with y’all. I’ll keep my eye on CN in the future, as should you.
King of the Beach Revisited
So y’all know how much we loved Wavves’ 2010 classic King of the Beach (KLYAM Record of the Year), well in honor of the year anniversery of the digital release of the “Post Acid” single, Glen and I decided to dedicate twenty minutes or so to discussing the greater points of the LP, some of the band’s background/history, and most important of all, whether it holds up after one year and whether or not it will continue to receive as much praise as time goes by.

Not what you expected?….
Vingtage KKBBQ Footage @ Great Scott
This is a pretty rad video of the boys playing “Treat Me Like a Dog” all the way back in what could possibly be their first tour, Janurary 21, 2005. Wow, way before my time! Any KKBBQ fans out there that saw this?
SOTD: Adam Green- “I Wanna Die”
Dayemm, I’m really starting to get into Adam Green and this song is simply spectacular. I love the off color lyrics and awkward vocals. I’ve been a big Moldy Peaches fan for a little while now and I thinnk Green’s solo work is a nice, fucked up, musical venture for me to follow up on.
Hicks Vid of the Day: Bill on the New Kids on the Block
Just for all the ladies that went to see them last night with the Backstreet Boys HAHA.
“PLAY FROM YOUR FUCKING HEART!!!”
BOTW: Lotus Plaza!
Hey y’all, we have a new band of the week: Lotus Plaza. Lotus Plaza is the solo project of Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt. I just recently started listening to Lockett’s solo work and a couple of weeks back I made LP a “Band Rec,” but I enjoyed the music so much I decided, well fuck it let’s make em’ BOTW! LP has a very calm, atmospheric, dreamy sound, fans of Deerhunter and Atlas Sound as well should really appreciate this, like Atlas, I feel like this is really just an extension of Deerhunter, but instead this showcases the unique quality of Lockett’s songwriting. I know the whole shoegazy-dreamy description gets thrown around a lot, but it’s true. I find it best to listen to Lotus around dusk or when you can’t fall asleep at night or you’re half awake and about to start your day. In any case, it fits perfect with a hazy state, when your transitioning from one consciousness to the other. My favorite song right now is “Rain Down,” but I still need to hear more from Mr. Pundt. Thanks for the music.
