Song We Like: My Girl (Pass the Mic) by Gabriel Bernini

 Hello, hello everyone’s so beautiful out there tonight! Here is a good song to listen to if you are sure that life is terrible and everyone hates everything. (Evidently not.) Gabriel Bernini keeps it simple while making it all unnecessarily complicated at the same time. So full of love. (Featured on our #41 podcast, The Revolütion […]

Song We Like: Back Alley Brats by The Retinas

 The Retinas invite us to the back alleys of Philly, or maybe just to your bedroom to really get through some thoughts. These thoughts are thicker and fuzzier than your favorite winter sweater, with some deep 21st century melodies and harmonies down in there somewhere.(Featured on our #41 podcast, The Revolütion Will Be Puppetized)

Podcast 40 – A Human Disaster

 John’s stripping song. A lovin’ convocation. Rough toys. We unsuccessfully attempt to parse the Burger records business model. John invites challengers to beer-shotgunning contests. Roxy Music’s ultra-secret side project. More joy in marketing. And of course our music is excellent: Chris Bay with Bad Boys Valles with Trance de los Suburbios Thresher with Velcro Maxpain […]

Song We Like: Bombay Sapphire by This Electric Reptile

 John swears that this is Roxy Music in deep, deep, top secret disguise. Cinnamon thinks that talking to a horse and certain other phraseology hints at Eastern European origin. But any way you listen to it, this song will stay in your head, and it will make you want to drink gin. Right now. […]

Song We Like: Checkin’ Out Late by Maxpain and the Groovies

A harder, bluesier festival kind of song for these harder, bluesier, post-festival times. This is a slightly sad-edged, fast-groove song about partying on the road, perfect for those times when you’re thinking wistfully about your beer-shotgunning days.(Featured on our #40 podcast, A Human Disaster.)  

Song We Like: Velcro by Thresher

Post-hardcore means when you add big guitar melodies on top of monotone, distorted, driving grooves. At least that is our calculation, based on this song. John’s special pick of the week. (Featured on our #40 podcast, A Human Disaster.)

Song We Like: Bad Boyz by Chris Bay

 A song about a gay orgy. With that guitar solo. And Bad Boyz spelled with a ‘z.’ We’re feeling so much relief as we welcome back a part of the past that we didn’t realized that we missed until right now. (Featured on our #40 podcast, A Human Disaster.)
