Adam and I, filled with xmas spirit, get down and groove to the Spector xmas album…you also get to see Penny mauling the xmas tree in the background.

Tagged a while back by maurinsky (via Hazel) This is tricky, mostly tricky because of all I’ve had to leave out (two Galaxie 500 albums for starters). On Fire – Galaxie 500 (1989)Best album ever. Nothing more to say (except that its appearance in this list also represents the band’s entire output and that of [...]

Not only has it been a four year wait for this album but it’s been a nine month wait since they announced the new album…but now it’s less than a month away. The new album by The New Year is called The New Year and rccrdlbl.com has a track from it to download and it’s…well…unmistakably [...]
joanna newsomoriginally uploaded by mapsadaisical Mayo Thompson of Red Krayola is a funny guy – he wandered on stage dressed like an undertaker and spent a couple of minutes trying to attach his set list to the mic stand, he eventually gave up and placed it on the floor and then reached into his pocket [...]

I can’t remember being quite [...]
Obviously that last post was the very pinnacle of uncool so in attempt to restore my damaged credibility… What’s not to love about this video – Beat Happening set up in the street and life goes on around them…kids wandering around…traffic drifting past…customers wandering in front of the camera…all oblivious to the fact that they [...]
I get tired of the endless reruns of Friends on E4 – but the up side is that just occasionally while bombing through Freeview’s channels full of nothing you stumble across a gem – and there is no brighter star in the Friends sky than Danny DeVito…and we were lucky enough to stumble across his [...]

Hazel just sent me a link to this lovely (if a little ropy) live video of Stereolab performing Stomach Worm and god they were so fucking great it makes me wince to think of the doodly nonsense that passes for a ‘lab album these days – I keep buying them in the hope that they’ll [...]
