This fan made video for the Black Lips’s new song “Noc-A-Homa” caught my attention the second I saw the “crying” indian on the side of my You Tube page. For other humorous, politically incorrect Black Lips videos featuring Native Americans, check out the 2003 classic “Fad” from their eponymous debut LP Black Lips.

Long Live Chief Noc-A-Homa!
It’s that time of the year when all the kiddies (including myself) are heading back to school and what better a way to make the transition than KLYAM Motivational Songs!
Black Lips– “Go Out and Get It” (2011)
Nobunny– “Live It Up” (2010)
Black Lips– “New Direction” (2011)
That should give you all the inspiration and motivation you need to conquer this school year.
Yeah, this is about the only time the words Black Lips, Nobunny, and school will come together in one nicely packed sentence.
Some truly kick ass, KLYAM beloved artists are coming to town this September!
September 2- Hunx and Hix Punx, K-Holes @ T.T. the Bears Place
September 19- Vivian Girls, Girlfriends @ Great Scott
September 24- Girls & Nobunny!!!! @ Paramount Theater- Emerson College
*ALSO HIGHLY NOTABLE: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23- FUCKED UP AND WAVVES @ ROYALE. AS SEEN ABOVE ON ANOTHER POST.
This is one of my favorite Peach Kelli sa-ongs :). More people need to get turned on to this band! If you’re reading this, tell your friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, brothers, sisters, moms, dads, grandma/pa, co-workers, bosses, local congressmen, the whole crew.
Turn your noggin to the righthand side of this page. Who is that there? Why that is none other than the Adam Green Machine. Our Band of the Week or should I say Man of the Week. Green’s unique brand of pop music evokes laughter, tears, and confusion- often all at one moment. I admit I just started getting into him and have only heard one of his records, Friends of Mine (2003), which will be reviewed in the near future. I would say he is bigger than most of our featured BOTW artists, but if you have not heard of him, seriously give his work some sincere eartime. Whether you like it or not, I guarantee you will walk away scarred for life.
Kisses!
Here is the music video for The Pains of Being Pure At Heart’s “Heart In Your Heartbreak” from this year’s LP Belong. This video has been out for months, but I saw it for the first time today in none other than American Eagle. (Somewhat)funny story actually. I was in AE and jamming to my ipod (Black Lips rolling) and suddenly I heard a song on the loud speakers that sounded decent, based on what I could then faintly here. I thought to myself this aint bad for an AE song. I could tell the guitar riff was familiar, so I threw off my earbuds and started to give the tune my full attention. When I heard the vocals come on I knew for sure it was Pains. I was a tad bit surprised, but in this day and age it is not that surprising to hear/see a critically acclaimed underground band in a mainstream setting. Finally, a big tv screen in the back of the joint caught my attention and I realized it was the music video for Heartbreak’, which I have never seen. I just caught the last minute or so of the video, but it looked pretty interesting. In any case, here it is for all to enjoy as most of you fans have probably checked it out, checked it out, checked it out before.
P.S. So, I guess they do BELONG in shopping malls after all!
Here is the badass, old school, analog version of Nancy Sinatra’s classic “These Boots Are Made For Walking.” One of my personal favorites, you know especially with me being a big fan of a nice pair of boots on a gal.
Better Than Something directors, Alex Hammond and Ian Markiewicz discuss the making of the film, Jay’s story, and his death, amongst other things. I really can’t wait to see this film!

Yessir, Black Lips at #2, should have been #1! Other notables (at least from my perspective as a fan) include Ween (#5), The Pains of Being Pure At Heart (#7), and Bright Eyes (#8).
Ty discusses the new record, KLYAM fave, Goodbye Bread with Johnny No No.
