Colleen Green’s EP “Cujo” Out Now + Catchy As FU(ZZ)

Today is music’s lucky day. Cujo, the latest offering of Colleen’s (out on Art Fag), is available now for streaming and go do that! I’ve seen “California Stoner Pop” thrown around to describe it, but like I said in the title it’s “Catchy As FU(ZZ)”. Once your ears get anointed in Colleen’s trademark drum-machine/layer of rhythmic distortion/captivating voice, it’s hard to think otherwise. I’m really blown away by “U+ME,” “Mike,” “Rabid Love” (pure pop greatness), “End of Time” (one of the lengthiest tunes of hers…the little period of overwhelming [comparatively] cleanliness is fantastic…sort of get a ‘LOUIE LOUIE’ vibe), “Jesse Has A New Girl” (sweet solo/lead guitar parts), and that song ’bout dogs “Cujo.” Did I just name every song on the EP? Think so.

Two Years Ago Today….

Two years ago today was one of the most incredible days of my life. Jay Reatard and his Shattered Records Tour came to town and being a huge creep I was naturally in attendance. At the time, I had never heard of any of the supporting bands: Useless Eaters (a Jay side project), Box Elders, Hunx and His Punx, and Nobunny. This show served as the perfect introduction to those bands and the last three have gone on to become some of my all time favorite artists. Jay put on an amazing show (sadly, one of his last as most of you know), the best I saw from him and one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. I can honestly say I have never experienced anything like the Shattered Records show before or since.

This video is a terrific example of what made Jay a unique live experience and on top of that this interview nicely illustrates his attitude toward live shows.
