Poisonous Times By The Old Haunts

Speaking of catchy punkish stuff coming off the West Coast (The Muslims are from San Diego), let's look north. I am talking about Olympia, Wa. (of course??), home of The Old Haunts. I don't remember when I first thought to post this, but it was a while ago (the album came out this past April). Anyways, if you don't know it, love it...

Listen: "Poisonous Times" (box.net mp3)

Former bikinikiller Tobi Vail is now drumming for The Haunts. They go through drummers faster that some joke metal band that was in some mockumentary a while back.

New Direction By The YMD

The YMD (formerly known as Yah Mos Def) are gonna release Excuse Me, This Is Yah Mos Def early next year. Now, this MAY be changed to Excuse Me, This Is The YMD, but I'm just guessing.

Listen: "New Direction" (box.net mp3)

Hey, anyone sampling Bikini Kill and Minor Threat have got my vote, and with a song title like "Jive Like Jehu," one can only hope for a feedbacky sampling of Drive Like Jehu. You know, something like this... "Caress" (yousendit).
