Something to watch after you’ve stuffed your bastard faces tomorrow.
Fatal Flaw
This is the best guitar solo you’ll hear all week.
Smash It Up
The Damned smash it up at BBC Radio 6 Music’s 2017 Christmas Punk Party.
Let’s Make Stag Shows Legal!
I’m off the Nazi reservation this week.
¡Viva Cuba Libre!
Boots!!
I for one enjoy the occasional crowd-sourced live recording, which is why I was happy to come across the Mckenzie Tapes:
The McKenzie Tapes is a collection of live audio recordings from some of New York City-area most prominent music venues of the 1980s and 1990s.
The collection itself was recorded by David McKenzie, a Kearny, NJ-native and former Maxwell’s employee (that’s him pictured above!). It spans mostly from 1985 to 1993, and includes shows played not only at Maxwell’s, but also The Ritz, Irving Plaza, City Gardens, and more.
David generously sent his tapes to me (Tom) in hopes of getting them archived online. I’m looking forward to sharing all this great music over the course of 2018.
All shows are available to stream or download. There are so many good people out there in the world, it makes me want to cry.
Find ’em here!
An Intentional Joke?
It’s difficult to be this bad on purpose, so I think this is genuine. Priceless vocal and guitar break.
Every Day Of My Life
Go to my office, sit at my desk,
Predictably just like all of the rest.
I sit and I dream about far away places,
Away from the people with frowns on their faces.
All of my life is monotony
I’d go out for a walk but I know it would be
(Predictable)
Sure as the nose on my face
(Predictable)
Same for the whole human race
Once we (once we) had so many options
Once we (once we) had dignity and grace
Now we (now we) have got nothing but our own time to waste.
Insane Watch Restoration
For you, Makerbot.
