Aly Spaltro can shut the pieholes of a roomful of malcontents faster than you can say “ironic detachment.”
And Erin “Dilly Dilly” Davidson is stealing back the electric guitar delay from U2. About time. Also, she sings like an [...]

As promised, here is a my cover of Baby’s on Fire. This was a fairly easy song to do, except for the glaring bit of difficulty in the middle in the form of the guitar solo. The rest, though, was easy and that left quite a bit of room for some experimentation. I should [...] I watched four skits in a row of SNL the other day and found them all funny. I can’t remember the last time that happened. It all started when we were told about the sequel to Dick-in-a-Box. So we searched it on NBC.com and found Motherlover. Here it is, unsensored: I have to [...] Sorry for being late! I’m pretty excited about having a podcast devoted to sriracha sauce. I mean, I’m not a super fan like many, but I like it well enough.

My haul from last week: Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band “Safe as Milk” (1999 Buddha reissue) I haven’t listened to much Beefheart other than Trout [...] I rarely have the opportunity to practice musical evangelism, something I love doing but that elicits only occasional and limited interest. To do it properly, I find I need to hold someone’s attention long enough to spit out an impassioned but excruciatingly detailed breakdown of exactly what is brilliant about a song, album, or [...] A while back, I mentioned that Jarvis Cocker (the infamous cad and frontman for the britpop band, Pulp) had recorded his second solo album with Steve Albini. I also mentioned how weird I thought that was. Turns out, Cocker had barely heard of Albini. He talked about how the sessions came together [...] |
