It’s May! I survived April by the skin of my teeth this year. I really have to start working on that underground bunker so I can hide from the whole world during that awful month. It’s going to need a lot of work though. I need enough power outlets for my Xbox, Wii, PS2 and my computer. I also need enough room for my LPs and my record player. I should probably figure out how to get a toilet in there too…and maybe have a tunnel that would take me directly to Jerry’s Records.
Shit, I got to get a shovel.
I need more rare punk for this blog, since I never have anything to put up when I’m feeling totally aggro like I am today. If you need to break something head over to Gimme Tinnitus, where you can get some hardcore tracks by Unsane, including ‘Scrape.’
Hot Hot Heat
Goodnight, Goodnight (EL-P Remix)
Goodnight, Goodnight (Boom Bip Remix)
Alternative garage rock remixed by underground indie rap. Why not?
VHS Or Beta
You Got Me (Baby Daddy Remix)
You Got Me (The Juan MacLean Remix)
Electronic dance music from a band named after a format war between two now-defunct video mediums. In 2020 I’m totally going to start my own band called Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD. The ironic part will be that it’ll be a jazz ensemble. Did I say ironic? I meant retarded. These are both off a 12” single.
The Dandy Warhols
Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth (Rock Snobs Vocal Mix)
Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth (Rock Snobs Dub)
Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth (Rock Snobs Open Road)
Ever seen Dig? If you haven’t check it out it’s a totally amazing movie about both The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre and how one of those bands consists of complete douchebags. Watch it and find out for yourself. These awesome remixes of their first big hit is off of a 12” promo.
Congrats on making it through April!!! I had a couple of scrapes myself but nothing to compare to your Aprils Past.
Thanks for link Mr. Turntable.
A great film. First time I saw it I was convinced that Anton Newcombe was the king of self destruction and master of sabotaging his career. Next time I saw it, I started to think the Dandy’s were a bunch of pompous assholes who deserved to have the song “Not If You Were The Last Dany On Earth” written about them. Call your friend a junkie in a song and what do you expect him to do…?
Once again. Great blog.
I don’t think that ‘Not If You Were Junkie On Earth” was about Anton. If it was…well, it’s not like he wasn’t one. Re-watch Dig! and if you get the chance listen to all three commentary tracks, The Dandies first then BJM’s and then the director’s. I think it paints a pretty clear picture as to which band was full of assholes. More importantly, it shows which band has grown since then. The Dandies admit many of their mistakes, but the guys from BJM are still d-bags.
