Soul Coughing – Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago

Video 11 Comments

now, i can't admit to soul coughing being extremely influential on a young joe's life. i definitely dug on them though. in fact, a very feverish young joe (which was a rare occasion, no matter what he occasionally told his parents early on school day mornings) saw them headlining at first avenue with low opening. if you're going to go to a show semi-out of your mind (non-chemically enhanced-- wait, or highly chemically enhanced too, i suppose), i might recommend low/soul coughing.

The Smashing Pumpkins – Thru the Eyes of Ruby

Video 33 Comments

high school week, eh? where to begin? my musical awakening began probably back in 6th grade (by awakening, i'm basically referring to when i jumped off the assembly line of manufactured crap feed by the top 40 dispensers), and it was not a moment too soon. there were a few bands that, if not immediately responsible, at least helped ease the ride. the pumpkins were one of them. the sonic, fuzzy wonderland that was siamese dream helped immensely. but we're not talking about junior high, we're talkin' high school. mellon collie and the infinite sadness was released about a month and a half after the beginning of my freshman year, and it really was the perfect soundtrack for it: sprawling, moody, unrequited, self-absorbed, pretentious; it fit the year like a glove. the fact that the pumpkins themselves basically acted like a bunch of freshmen didn't hurt. here's one of the album's opuses:

i didn't want to play the pumpkins, but i can't deny the role they played. and if i was going for a pumpkins vid alone, i probably would've picked something else, but, oh well. i never really bothered with anything after mellon collie, but that and that before it was pretty awesome. chamberlain is hands down one of the best drummers of his era, if not beyond. billy, despite being an insufferable prick, is also underrated in his chops, but i was underrated in my time too. 😉

Anna Calvi – Desire

Video 1 Comment

ms. calvi's been generating some heat across the pond through most of 2011. throaty, lustful, and proficiently wields an axe to boot (though those skills aren't so much on display in this video). compared favourably to siouxsie and PJ harvey, here she is on later... getting a good amount of sound out of three people.

First Aid Kit – Waltz For Richard

Video 9 Comments

i found this via a friend's post whilst scrolling through my facebook feed. apparently these guys are gathering some buzz (and you're right, hitman, everyone's ripping off la blogotheque).

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir10In7xv9Q

i dunno. my early impression is this is what simon and garfunkel might have sounded like in their early years if they were swedish sisters (hell, they kind of look like simon and garfunkel if they were swedish sisters).

Ty Segall – Goodbye Bread

Video 2 Comments

while we're on the subject of requests, bootsy asked us to play one a little while back. i told him to post it his damn self, but i guess he's shy, or summthin... in his words:

I'm digging on Goodbye Bread, the new record by Ty Segall. Here's the title track, first as rocking electric version (static imagery, but killer sound)

and then solo in a bathroom [ed: after the jump].

Franz Ferdinand – 40′

Video

i had been holding onto this to play after game 122, but a) it was in the hopes that we'd be fighting for something, b) i just remembered i was doing so, and c) that's going to fall smack_dab in the middle of rhu_ru week. so, uh, yeah. close enough.
