Mister Lonely (2007)
Mister Lonely Painfully indie. Diego Luna as Michael Jackson is SOOOOOOOO creepy. **POST TO BE EDITED SOON!** jessica’s blog
Oh No Oh My – Oh No! Oh My!
Oh No Oh My is an indie pop band from Austin. They have some new songs out, so listen to them if you like this great great great album. The first time I heard this record, I just smiled and smiled and smiled. Again, these are in m4a format. Expect a new full length album [...]

Books, books, glorious books
Although I cannot exactly do much reading for fun for awhile, I still like books. I may have posted this before, but I couldn’t find it, so here it (possibly) goes again. The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up? If [...]
Jahnke’s Record Collection: Whitney Houston
Usually with these blogs, I can jump right in and pinpoint when the album in question entered my life, what it meant to me at the time, how my relationship to the music changed over the years, and other such burning questions. But occasionally, we’ll have an album like this one: Whitney Houston’s 1985 self-titled [...]
Pygmy Lush – Rare Tracks
Pygmy Lush is comprised of members from such legendary hardcore acts as pg.99 and City of Caterpillar. This unofficial(?) release is one of my favorite albums to listen to while driving around or just laying in bed staring at nothing. Unlike their other releases, this is just straight folk and it’s hauntingly beautiful. The cover [...]
THE ULTIMATE POST-PUNK C-78
When I got big into digitizing my vinyl, it extended my already-crazed obsession with creating personal compilations of music, which started off in the 80s as tapes for potential girlfriends (who didn’t do that, right?) and continued into self-loving compilation tapes for myself. Then in 2000 I bought a car with no tape player, but [...]
TWINKLE’S OUTSTANDING DEAD BOYFRIEND 45
A couple of weeks back we posted the great 60s girly screamer “Don’t Drag No More” by SUSAN LYNN and called it her “dead teenager anthem”, before I realized that the guy in the song doesn’t actually die. He just gets warned that he’s going to die. It’s still part of a very prevalent 1960s [...]
Mesrine – Unidentified + Bonus Live CD
Mesrine is a badass Canadian grindcore band. Some may even call it mincecore, but we are not going to do that. The Unidentified record was already murderous, but then they added a bonus disc with some fucking killer live tracks. It was a limited edition though, so good luck finding it. Listen to this and [...]
SHREDDING THE BIG ONES WITH THE TIKI MEN
(Reposted by request) I own exactly one record by a modern instrumental surf band (correction: make that two records), and it’s the raw-ass 1994 EP I’m posted for you here today by Sacramento, CA’s TIKI MEN. “Sneak-A-Drink With The Tiki Men” is as hot and loud and bothered as the best reverbed-out 1960s stuff, and [...]
