Generation whY?
Check out T.V. Smith’s classic ballad about our docile generation here:
I’ve loved it since I saw him a few weeks ago with Jay Reatard.
No Way….Way!
I found a band extraordinarily similar to King Khan and the Shrines that I actually, yes actually, had an incredibly difficult time realizing that what I was listening to…wasn’t King Khan and the Shrines!
So what band do I speak of?
Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears!
A credit goes to WERS.org for introducing me to these soul geniuses.
Song of the Day
A mainstream hip-hop song for your listening satisfaction:
A Beautiful Bit of Poetry
Michael Nau of Page France
here’s a telephone
here’s a window
here’s a little dove to tell you how the wind blows
i’ve got a black heart
i’ve got a shadow
i’ve got a little dove that drags me off the ladder
you got a halo
a heart of gravel
little worms come out my darling rotten apple
i plucked the harp strings
until my hands bleed
but when that eye blinks ill be buried in the tree leaves

Band: The Morning After Girls
Release: 2009
Comments: A shoe-gazey effort that literally does not make you want to stop looking at your shoes. That’s because upon listening your head will consistently (but very very slowly) be moving down and side to side. I wouldn’t say The Morning After Girls are purely psychedelic, but they are quite a spacey group. The first track “The Best Explanation” is a decent defense for my just mentioned claim. Picking things up to a more “alternative” level is “The General Public.” Present is a certain quality of mainstream rock instrumentation (like Dandy Warhols). Continue reading CD Review: Alone
