Until I did a little bit of research for this article, I never really knew if the Dead Milkmen were really a spoof or not. 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 hate to just bomb the bejeebus out of a post with endless photos, like this. But sometimes, you kinda have to. Here are a few more of my faves from Monday and Tues. See if you can spot those who own Olympic medals, below (they all own winter-x titles). Extra points if you name … Continue reading T-show faves part 2→
I have loved these guys since high school. I re-discovered them a few months ago when I was making a Pandora station. Tuesday is almost over (and it is either this cop-out or miss another week of LMC), so that is all I’m going to write about Deee-Lite. Also, I don’t know who to give … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #76 (Deee-Lite)→
Two of my favorite rappers on this track. The whole Blackstar collab is pretty hot. Anyway, if you are a fan of Talib Kweli, or Mos Def, then for sure you love this track, also. “Best alliance in hip-hop”– I tend to agree. One of the best, anyway. This is another one of those songs … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #75 (MD-TK)→
Well, most the day went as planned. We still have fish, since the dude who is supposedly picking them up, has now scheduled and flaked on 3 separate occasions. Complaining aside, today was ultra productive. Tomorrow is going to be another busy one, but I’m looking forward to it. Particularly, I’m looking forward to the … Continue reading Midweek, here we are.→
Ok, this one is a serious throwback. Going all the way to my days in Jr. high. They were before Silverchair and The Vines. At the time, Midnight Oil was like the coolest Australian band since Men at Work. They had a couple of songs that were kind of anthems of the era. Like, “Bed’s … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #74 (MO)→
I have to admit that the Black Keys‘ music is a little bit new to me. Every once in a while I would hear about them, or catch a little snippit of one of their songs. But I never really gave them a shot. About a month ago, they were playing a secret promo show … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #73 (BK)→
(Above: 2009 Mini 10k, photo by: me) The only official item that we have calendared for this weekend is a race that Reagan is running. It is the NYRR Mini 10K. It is a Women’s-only race that dates back to the 70’s– and “mini” refers to the miniskirts that were popular during the era. The … Continue reading Weekend, glorious weekend→
(Photo: David Koppe) For me the jury is still out, on whether I like Hot Chip. They kind of remind me of a modern version of XTC, or something. One thing standing in the way, is that their name reminds me of Hot Action Cop. I realize, that is my problem, not theirs, but still. … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #72 (HC)→
Nothing new or novel here. I’m sure that everyone has heard this song at least 1000 times. But, hey– it is summer. “Doin Time” is such a classic mellow warm-weather song. I couldn’t think of anything more fitting for tonight. Press play. [Phot0: Not sure who to credit. But I like it]
