Barreracudas… ? Ok
This song punches every one of my rocky dopamine receptors right in the pants. In a good way.
Sandinista Turns 40
Self-indulgent mess? Misunderstood masterpiece? I usually have an opinion on matters musical, but it’s now been forty years and I’m still not sure what to make of this album. Which may be the point. Or not.
Crock Of Gold
I’ve been encouraged countless times by you people to get into the Pogues. I just might do it now.

John Boorman’s Lee Marvin Story
Whiskey Porn
A German or perhaps Scandinavian reviews my favorite Tennessee Whiskey. I’m posting this because things get funny at around 4:25, when he starts sounding like a 70’s porn actor getting “serviced.”
Here’s What Today Needs
Bob’s solo makes me giggle.

The Best Memphis Punk Band You’ve Never Heard Of
Happy Friday, you bastards, you.
In 2012, the documentary I directed about the Antenna club and the vibrant music scene which sprang up around it premiered at the Indie Memphis Film Festival. It had a successful festival run, but a commercial release of Antenna has been repeatedly delayed by music rights issues. With the help of J.D. Reager, we managed to convince Bob Holmes, who had become something of a recluse, to do an interview for the film. For three hours, he regaled us with some of the wildest Memphis music stories I have ever had the good fortune to hear. In order to honor the passing of a Memphis musical genius, I have uploaded the Modifiers segments from Antenna to YouTube and present it here for the first time since 2012.
Thus speaketh documentary director Chris McCoy.
