Tough Shits - Prick Up Your Ears-Complete Tough Shits

We played with these dudes in Philadelphia.
Aside from being some of the sweetest dudes we met on tour, they were also the weirdest and the most fun. Their show was sweet as hell and involved a guitar being smashed....in front of twenty people. Either way, I knew we were in for a treat when Greg came in and asked if they had anyone for the guest list and the first person to be put on was the singer's mom. Mom was then treated to a set that included jerking off the microphone and talking almost exclusively about drugs.

The songs are fucking brilliant and arranged perfectly to strut their simplicity. Sweet guitar playing, great harmonies, wonderful lyrics. I'm super stoked on these dudes.

gg-g-g-g-g-g-get it. so most highly recommended.

Let's Go To The Dance

John Cale- Fear

Back to back days? Yes.

I figured I would put this record up because most of you won't like it at first and I intend to test your mettle.

Cale is awesome. This record is totally wussed out, but i can't stop listening to it so...

Fear

Chris Bell-I Am the Cosmos

I've been a tad bummer-ed recently about some shit, and then I remembered this record existed. If you feel like wallowing, or if you happen to be one of those people who can't cry even when they're pretty upset, this record can cure you. Take once a day (preferably at night) with two bowls and a glass of wine. You'll be blubbering like a fucking mental patient in twenty minutes.

It rocks too....but shit, his voice just heaves, makes my chest tight.


Get mad, or get even

Ace's Moon Landing-Skinhead Reggae Comp.

So...It has been ages, and I have no real good excuse. I just got the internet at my house so it's totally possible that I will be updating more. Either way, I have put together a comp. for all of you that includes my favorite skinhead jams from all of the stuff I have been listening to lately. There's some fantastic stuff on here and it is perfect for trying to pretend that it's nice outside (it is a balmy fifty degrees in Chicago right now).

This one should be a good jumping off point for most of you, some weird shit and some standards.

You A Pirate

This Thursday in Chicago
