Maybe one day I should make a mix tape of power tunes. You know the ones? The ones that kind of help you get through those times when you wish you could write a song, but then you found somebody who expressed what was on your mind a little better than you thought anyone else … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #98 Guest Post (Stretch Arm Strong)→
Note from Jake: First of all, I was slammed today between real work and trying to launch Reagan’s blob sale. I had an idea for LMC, but there is no way that I was going to have time to execute. I came back from a meeting and found out that Pete had stepped up and … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #91 Guest Post (TSO)→

Pete’s Post: Sometimes I wish I knew more Spanish… I don’t though… so… short and simple it is. I really enjoy música de estilo de ranchera.

I thought about it last night when one of my line servers asked me the question: “If you could see any band or artist alive or dead, in the prime … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #77 (The Dead Milkmen) Guest Post by Pete→
I know that Jake is a pretty big fan of hip hop, or at least a much bigger fan than I, so it kind of surprises me that I have managed to find a group that I endorse, and Jake hasn’t written about. I will just cover the nuts and bolts, and maybe if I’m … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #63 (Imbibe)→
I am no a metal expert. I have never really cared for GNR. I think that the opening riff to “Crazy Train” is one of the all time sickest riffs ever… no contests period. My wife and I danced down the aisle after being pronounced man and wife to “The Rhythm of Love.” I have … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #59 (BT:WoT)→
