This is one of my favorite Peach Kelli sa-ongs :). More people need to get turned on to this band! If you’re reading this, tell your friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, brothers, sisters, moms, dads, grandma/pa, co-workers, bosses, local congressmen, the whole crew.
Great Frank Sinatra Drinking Quotes
“Alcohol may be man’s worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy. “
“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.”
“Basically, I’m for anything that gets you through the night – be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels. “
BOTW: Adam Green
Turn your noggin to the righthand side of this page. Who is that there? Why that is none other than the Adam Green Machine. Our Band of the Week or should I say Man of the Week. Green’s unique brand of pop music evokes laughter, tears, and confusion- often all at one moment. I admit I just started getting into him and have only heard one of his records, Friends of Mine (2003), which will be reviewed in the near future. I would say he is bigger than most of our featured BOTW artists, but if you have not heard of him, seriously give his work some sincere eartime. Whether you like it or not, I guarantee you will walk away scarred for life.
Kisses!
Pains- “Heart In Your Heartbreak” Music Video
Here is the music video for The Pains of Being Pure At Heart’s “Heart In Your Heartbreak” from this year’s LP Belong. This video has been out for months, but I saw it for the first time today in none other than American Eagle. (Somewhat)funny story actually. I was in AE and jamming to my ipod (Black Lips rolling) and suddenly I heard a song on the loud speakers that sounded decent, based on what I could then faintly here. I thought to myself this aint bad for an AE song. I could tell the guitar riff was familiar, so I threw off my earbuds and started to give the tune my full attention. When I heard the vocals come on I knew for sure it was Pains. I was a tad bit surprised, but in this day and age it is not that surprising to hear/see a critically acclaimed underground band in a mainstream setting. Finally, a big tv screen in the back of the joint caught my attention and I realized it was the music video for Heartbreak’, which I have never seen. I just caught the last minute or so of the video, but it looked pretty interesting. In any case, here it is for all to enjoy as most of you fans have probably checked it out, checked it out, checked it out before.
P.S. So, I guess they do BELONG in shopping malls after all!

Greatest Interview Ever!
Perhaps not. But, still a classic. Just a nice little glimpse into the world of Black Flag and underground music in 1984. It is equally humorous and awkward.

Chris’s SOTD: Nancy Sinatra- These Boots…
Here is the badass, old school, analog version of Nancy Sinatra’s classic “These Boots Are Made For Walking.” One of my personal favorites, you know especially with me being a big fan of a nice pair of boots on a gal.

The Lips explain how they are helping out some up and coming bands in the music world. “[In] Chicago, we’ve got the Mannequin Men; in Minneapolis, we’ve got Birthday Suits, and we’ve played with them a lot of times over the years. They’re cool. They’re from Japan.”- Jared Swilley on MTV News.
