KINGADEBEECH! These are the coolest kids fo sho.

This week’s Band of the Week is none other than our Honorary KLYAMer Nobunny!!!! Do we really have to explain why he is the BOTW- I don’t think so. His Ramones drenched bublegummy punk slimy all the timey Rock and Roll deserves to be communicated to the masses on any given day, but today (or this week I should say) is more signifcant than any other day. For, we are two short days away from seeing the bunnyman in the flesh! Live it Up!
Up first, the orignal version of “The Model” by German synth pioneers Kraftwerk
Next, the cover version by the menacing, 80s noise trio (or should I say quartet ;) ) Big Black.
Perfect video!
So, who did it better? Well, I’m going with Big Black on this one, although I love both versions; Kraftwerk’s version I think is truly the better version, but I prefer BB’s cover because they are one of my favorite bands and they simply nailed it in this instance.

Let’s break out the champagne!… or most likely the schnapps, times are tough, you know haha.
But, seriously Nobunny @ the Church on thursday June 30, come or stay home like a little puss. I’ve been waiting for this day for months.
The Ponys are, yes, quite underrated. They did some touring with Black Lips in 2007, released albums on In The Red and Matador, and have had some songs appear in commercials and video games. Still, though, I (and others as evidenced in YouTube comments) feel they’ve been under-appreciated. Here’s to hoping good fortunes to The Ponys.

Lowell mASSachusetts FUZZ MEISTERS/ORGAN DONORS SINBUSTERS have a musical long piece out. It is called Second Coming. It was recorded at the ole stomping grounds of Micky Ward’s nephew…The DIRTY DOUGLAS. The famed. These songs that you are about to entrust your ears upon are chaotic.

Yessir, here is the comic book Old King Cole Younger was referring to in the new classic “Spidey’s Curse” from the Black Lips’s recent LP and KLYAM favorite Arabia Mountain. Spider-Man and Power-Pack was a 1984 issue distributed in sex education classes to teach the youngsters about sexual abuse and how to prevent it.
This website is a great resource for infomation on the comic: http://www.politedissent.com/archives/982
Here are the lyrics to Spidey:
Peter Parker’s life is so much darker than the book I read
‘Cause he was defenseless, so defenseless when he was a kid
It’s your body, no one’s body, but your’s anyways
So Peter Parker don’t let him mark ya, it’s so much darker
Don’t let him touch ya, he don’t have to stay!
Don’t fill a spider up with dread
Spidey’s got powers, he takes all of the cowards
And he kills them dead
But when he was younger, an elder among him messed him in the head
So Peter Parker don’t let him mark ya, it’s so much darker
Don’t let him touch ya, he don’t have to stay!
The teacher looked at everyone with a PSA
She saw that our hearts were gone
She saw that in everyone!
Peter Parker’s life is so much darker
Better tell him, man
‘Cause it’s your body, no one’s body, but your’s anyway
So Peter Parker don’t him mark ya, it’s so much darker
Don’t let him touch ya, he don’t have to stay!
Don’t fill a spider up with dread
Don’t fill a spider up with dread
Don’t fill a spider up with dread
(Dude, they are conjuring up those demons. Basically, they’re taking spells out of that book. Or they are taking demons out of that book and working it into a song that basically conjures up these demons, man. Oh dude, it’s way insane. Dude, trip out on this!)

Tonight, June 23- Strange Boys @ The Church
and

Bass Drum of Death and Kal Marks @ Great Scott
This is probably my favorite Reatards song.

I just heard the track “New Direction” from The Black Lips latest LP Arabia Mountain on an advertisement for movies being shown on AMC this month. Hearing the Black Lips on my tv is pretty odd, but kinda cool too.
