One of the Velvet’s greatest tunes. This was too groundbreaking and slimy for the flowery 1967. Way insane.

SOTD: Misfits- “I Turned Into A Martian” (1982)
Dayemmm, one of the catchiest songs I have ever heard. Old school Misfits = some of the best Punk ever!
SOTD: “I See You On A Path” (Final Solutions)
A Jay Reatard band…This song is from the year 2003.
SOTD: Biggie- “Gimmie the Loot” (1994)
This is easily one of my all time favorite rap songs; it has everything- incredible delivery, danceable beats, dark, violent, but simultaneously amusing lyrics, flawless flow, and best of all you can sing along to it, it’s very interactive in that almost Fugazi way. You know what I mean?
And this is when y’all should be nodding your head and saying “nigga you ain’t got to explain shit…”
SOTD: No Age- “Dead Plane” (2007)
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…
P.S. Dean is wearing a Mika Miko shirt. Go Dean!
SOTD: Mark Dinning- “Teen Angel” (1960)
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!
SOTD: Adam Green- “I Wanna Die”
Dayemm, I’m really starting to get into Adam Green and this song is simply spectacular. I love the off color lyrics and awkward vocals. I’ve been a big Moldy Peaches fan for a little while now and I thinnk Green’s solo work is a nice, fucked up, musical venture for me to follow up on.
SOTD: Best Coast- “Sun Was High (So Was I)”
Classic pre-Crazy For You (2010) Best Coast; really getting into this tune now that it is the Summer, because you know that topic never comes up in the rest of BC’s music…
SOTD: “In Rebound” – No Age
SOTD: Buzzcocks- Oh Shit!
To all those with finals out there. Drink up, you’ll live longer. Perhaps not though.
