I love the build ups on Weirdo Rippers (2007), No Age’s first LP (well sorta…). Everything is purposeful, in other words, I get exactly why they do everything, or at least I think I do. The anticipation, the quiet is made all the more exceptional when they finally explode into the heavier half of the song and include vocals as well. For a lot of artists, I can’t get into their build ups, they just seem to be creating dead space and wasting my time, which is probably not the case, but it seems that way. In any case, a great tune and this video perfectly captures it. Now, all I need is to get No Age to play in my basement…
A new upload from our dude Bernie, the busiest underground concert filmer in Boston, from that Peach Kelli Pop show in Allston a few weeks back. Here’s “Eenie Meenie,” which has been posted as a KLYAM song of the day before, but you know what…so what!
Anthony gives us a solid ten minute review- interesting thoughts as always; I can’t believe I had never conjured up The Ramones sound on “Raw Meat,” indeed I hear it now haha.

Good evening Rock and Rollers, here’s the (somewhat) new, badass music video for Shannon and the Clam’s “Sleep Talk,” the final track from the album of the same name. A review of this album will be up soon!
This is a really sad song of the “teen tragedy” variety; just listen to the words.
BUT! on a brighter note, this is a classic from the American Graffitti soundtrack (1973), of which I listen to religiously, especially during the summertime, and whadya know the sun is out and so am I… peace!
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.
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.
