Reaction / From Ashes Rise (Nightmares, 2003)
Allow me introduce you guys to some legitimate hardcore punk from Pittsburgh.
Down At McDonaldzzz / Electric Six (I Will Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master, 2007)
I love Electric Six and so does everyone I sent this song to. We interviewed lead singer Dick Valentine back in February and had some fun.
Don’t Touch Me (Remix w/ Reek Da Villian, Spliff Star, Lil Wayne, Nas, The Game & Big Daddy Kane) / Busta Rhymes (Blessed, 2008)
Seriously, tell me this isn’t the best hip-hop jam you’ve heard in a looooong fucking time.
666 Conducer / Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Baby 81, 2007)
BRMC is one of my favorite bands, and I don’t know why they’re not at least bigger than the fucking Strokes.
The Stations / The Gutter Twins (Saturnalia, 2008)
The Gutter Twins is Mark Lanegan’s new band. Saturnalia is one of the best and most overlooked albums of this year so far.
If I Was Your Girlfriend (Live) / Eels (Useless Trinkets, 2008)
There are a lot of fucking Eels fans out there. I’m not one of them. I picked up this disc for one track; the Prince cover (I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man) I originally heard live on Jonesy’s Jukebox on Indie 103.1 here in Los Angeles. The version with Jonesy was far superior by the way, and if anyone out there has a copy, PLEASE send it in. I will love you forever. But anyway, this track caught my ear and it’s one of the cuts I didn’t delete out of iTunes.
Frontin’ On Debra / Beck, Pharrell Williams & Jay-Z (DJ Reset Mashup, 2004)
I found this on vinyl at Amoeba in Berkeley. Throw it on at a party, and you’ll probably get laid.
60 Revolutions / Gogol Bordello (Gypsy Punks Underdog World Strike, 2005)
I finally got around to digging into this band recently. Had been meaning to since seeing the lead singer play Alex in the hilarious and moving Everything Is Illuminated movie (which is highly, highly recommended). You have to love them. Sample lyrics: I’m gathering a new generation / that’s gonna stand up to it- / To this karaoke dictatorship / where posers and models with guitars / boogie to the shit for beats. / I make a better rock revolution / alone with my dick!
Got Ma Nuts From A Hippie / The Fratellis (w/ Pete Townshend) (Attic Jam, 2007)
A random live track that grabbed me awhile back. We did an interview with The Fratellis last week, and we’ll be posting it here soon.
[...] Stations can be heard on my Kim Jong-Il Communication [...]
[...] the best Tribe shit, and it might be the best new hip hop song I’ve heard since Busta’s Don’t Touch Me: Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media [...]
