KLYAMER Shuffle: Chris
Inspired by Glen’s earlier post, I hit shuffle on my ipod and this is what came up….
Black Lips– “Born to be a Man” (2006)- The best way to kick off the list.
Bill Hicks– “My One Man Show” (1990)- Another one of my favorites!
Pixies– “Here Comes Your Man” (1989)- Wow, the third song in a row with the word “man” in the title.
Beat Happening– “Black Candy” (1989)- The first BH song I ever heard; one of their greatest offerings.
Descendents– “Clean Sheets” (live) (1987)- Damn, I’d love to have been present for this recording.
Elvis Costello– “Accidents Will Happen” (1979)- FUN FACT: In E.T. (1982), the character Michael (Robert MacNaughton) can be heard singing this in the scene when he comes home from school and is looking in the refrigerator.
Rage Against the Machine– “Mic Check” (1999)- Top five best 90s bands, end of story.
Minutemen– “This Ain’t No Picnic” (1984)- A lot of 80s underground shit in this mix.
Primus– “My Name is Mud” (1993)- I remember hearing this as a kid and thinking it was the most fucked up thing I had ever heard, until Frank Zappa….
Hüsker Dü– “Turn On the News” (1984)- Maybe the huskers’ best.
I would not say this list is totally representative of my tastes in music, but I enjoy everything here and I have for quite some time.

Bloody Premiere: Black Lips- Family Tree Music Video!
This photo looks like it is from four years ago, but it oddly fits with this video, you’ll see.

This is by far their most fucked up video. By the way, if the two fine ladies featured in the video are reading this, call me! Oh and bring those executioner masks.

SOTD: Black Lips- “Ain’t Comin’ Back” (2002)
I was shocked to see that this song has never been posted on this site! What is up with that? What is the world coming to? This is the Lips’ first single, “Ain’t Comin’ Back” and damn is it exquisite. Vintage Lips- even in their early days they contained all of the Punk Slime that makes them the Black Lips; especially Cole’s little, out of control, six year old vocals. Excellent. Every fan MUST hear this.
P.S. ya ya with all the recent, perhaps excessive Lips posts, we’re starting to look like a Black Lips fan site, which in some ways we are and always have been, but in other ways we’re something totally different. Always keep that in mind and check out everything we have to offer, you would be surprised how much shit from all areas of art, entertainment, news, politics, and just about anything else you can/will come across on KLYAM. One could find posts on Carl Jung, G.G. Allin, how to swallow pills, famous supreme court cases, Anarchism, and an in depth analysis of two girls, one cup… God, the list is endless! I guess I like to think of it as a life appreciation site, but that sounds really, really gay and not in a “it’s not that I think you’re bad looking, u don’t like Rock and Roll!!!” kinda gay, I mean the Un-PC, “this is lame… this is so gay” kinda gay. Alright, I should probably quit while I’m ahead.

Funny, Unofficial, Fan Created Noc-A-Homa Video
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!
KLYAM Motivational Songs for the New School Year
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.
