Misfits

It's Halloween. Time to bust out those dusty Misfits CDs (and I ain't talkin about the newly reformed Misfits).

Listen to some bootlegs from the early 1980s (in real audio).

Medication has an unreleased Misfits song "Archangel".

Or check out some Misfits covers: there's Violent World (with neo-punk, alt-metal, and alt-rock versions of yer Misfits favs), and there's Fiend Club Lounge (cocktail/lounge covers by the Nutley Brass... WARNING the link will play a sample and there's NO OFF Button).

Sufjan Stevens

It's Sufjan Sunday!!

Oh that Sufjan Stevens... he's gonna put out one album for every state. The Alt-folker had a nice spotlight in the emusic magazine. You can read an interview with him at Pitchfork. Then listen to Sufjan on Morning Becomes Eceletic here.

The guy has got all sorts of mp3s spread around the internets:
3hive
Amazon
download.com
soundsfamilyre

Plus... he composed a song just for NPR. The story is here. The his song about that annoying lordgod woodpecker is here (mp3).

Large Hearted Boy

Sidebar Expansion Fun: Large Hearted Boy is being added to the blogs section. Whoo-hoo!

Beulah

Why Did They Have To Break Up? Episode 1

Part of the Elephant 6 family, Beulah are... well here's a quote from pitchfork...

"Beulah are a band that know how to rock out and write endearing pop songs at the same time. Their melodies scream, "Feel the love!" It's a good thing, people."

They have like a ba-zillion mp3s available for download at insound. They also have some videos and webcasts available at their website.

Listening to them makes ya think, "Why Did They Have To Break Up?"

FYI, former singer and guitarist Miles Kurosky is working on some solo material.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have their website under construction. They have an interesting (and annoying) way of letting you know (WARNING: Requires pop-ups). This probably has to do with their planned reinvention.

But if you say "I don't care about the fact that they want to sing campfire songs in an effort to change their "image", I just want to hear them rock," then click here.

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra

Take a break from the indie rock and listen to the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra.

OK, what is Afrobeat?? "Afrobeat is a hybrid form of jazz and Nigerian traditional music popularized and developed in the late 1960s in Lagos, Nigeria by Fela Anikulapo Kuti. It also incorporates other elements of West African popular music such as highlife, palmwine, apala, Afrocuban, and Afro-American funk and soul music."

Listen:
From download.com

From epitonic
"Hypocrite" (mp3)

Spoon

Archive dot org has a couple of Spoon bootlegs:

6/14/2005 - Gothic Theater, CO (I must say I take some offense at the "Fuck New York City" comment made by Brit between Small Stakes and The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine. I mean, come on! The people on in Englewood, Colorado know they suck. Sorry people of Englewood, Colorado but you know it's true.)

7/30/2005 - Street Scene Festival, CA (with a kick ass version of Me And The Bean.)

Goldie Lookin' Chain

If you're looking for the best in white UK goof-rap then look no further... Goldie Lookin' Chain has got a website. It's got streaming audio and videos, plus the spliff game.

Cat Power

Cat Power has put out The Greatest in advance of her new album (due in early 2006). I must say... much less rockin' than the You Are Free material.

Blood On The Wall

The Social Registry has got some Blood On The Wall tracks. Get 'em here.

You might ask "what does Blood On The Wall sound like?" I'd answer "What do THINK thay sound like? Huh. BLOOD ON THE WALL!!"

Any-hoo, you can click above and find out if you're interested.

Tom Verlaine

Download.com has got an instrumental Tom Verlaine track from 1992. It's just like Television only the vocals have been replaced with guitar.

The Occasion

Saw The Occasion at the Canalroom last night. They have been on tour with Acid Mother Temple (ASIDE: who are friggin' out there man! Think Rob Zombie and Hawkwind having sex with Boredoms).

Aerosmith

Just a thought... I was talking with an Aerosmith fan who likes new (suck) and old (rock!) Aerosmith, and will be seeing them soon on their current tour. He said he was going to run out and buy their new record so that he would know the songs if they play them live. Now the idea of sitting through a set of new Aerosmith songs sounds like a human rights violation to me. I proposed that they do a tour where they only play their older material. My friend dismissed this saying that the tickets would not sell that well. I guess I won't be seeing Aerosmith anytime soon.

Bloc Party

Listen to a mp3 of a Bloc Party concert from the good folks at NPR.
