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.

Add KhanWood Clarke To King’s Long List of Bands

Who? KhanWood Clarke. King KHAN, Sean WOOD [Spits], and Jeff CLARKE [Demon’s Claws]
What? A MoonStudio production. The joys of having your own studio. Old country music, a bit like when Nobunny picks up the acoustic
When?
 Sort of now, but the folks above need $$$ to get Wood to
Where? Berlin
Why? ‘Cause

If you take a listen to “Dirtiest Girl” (a demo), you will be greeted to fine lyrics as:

everyone knows you're the dirtiest girl in town
that you fucked every guy for sixty five miles around
but sugar you know I know my night at all
'cause it's always back to me that you seem to crawl

well every guy in town seems to know you're always at the bar
no matter which day of the week it seems to be
but after you wake up in some strange room on the other side of town
i know you'll always be coming back home to me

well i don't mind that you're a little pig around town
i don't mind at all if you like to sleep around
as long as you're home for breakfast, i don't mind at all

whiskey bottle, empty on the back seat of the car
where'd you sleep last night, I don't even want to know
as long as you're home for breakfast, i don't mind at all

“Indian men are built like brick shit houses and fuck like snakes” ends another sure to be classic, the demo “Old Gunga Din

Show Alert: Handsome Furs @ Brighton Music Hall

Date: August 17 (Wednesday)

Comments: The Furs played at Great Scott on April 13. I’m going to go out on a limb and say they enjoy playing in Boston to come back again as part of a larger summer tour. We fans enjoy them and look forward to the release of their third album, Sound Kapital.
