Billy Bragg is one of those guys who you can tell is pretty cool, but you can’t tell exactly why. When I first heard his music, I thought it was hilarious. The biggest reason, was the heavy re-verb, mixed with the heavy cockney accent. He was a one man show. Just him and a electric … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #11 (Bragg)→
The other day, one of my friends accused me of not liking hip-hop. I was completely stunned, at first. The more that I thought about it, the more it made sense. Because, honestly, I haven’t really been a fan of a lot of the stuff that has come out recently, claiming to be hip-hop. I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #10 (Ain’t no)→
Yamaha released the specs of the 2009 YZR-M1 (Valentino Rossi’s bike) this week. It is all of the usual crap: >200 hp, >320 kmph, Ohlins, Marchesini, Brembo, etc., etc.. But the part worth noting, was not in the spec sheet. Rossi gave a Q and A, which was also released this week. Rossi spoke briefly … Continue reading M1 and Paul’s Boutique→
The first time I ever saw/heard of the White Stripes was back in the days when there were actually videos on MTV. I saw the video for “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.” That song is still one of my favorite White Stripes songs. Come to think of it, that song probably is my favorite … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #9 (W. Stripes)→
I’m really going to blabber on this time. Plus, I don’t really have a lot of spare time. I was just sitting here working, this song was on the playlist rotation and I felt like sharing it. I actually don’t really know much about the Cardigans, except that they are Sweedish, I think. Hahahaha. I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #8 (Sick and Tired)→
Reagan’s sister organized a little Christmas program for the family. Everyone shared a little thought, talent, song, etc. with the rest of the fam. Reagan and two of her sisters put together this contribution: Chrismasettes from Jacob Breinholt on Vimeo.
As cleche as it may be, I had to do a Christmas song this week. This is the second ska song that I have shared. I promise, I’m not some sort of rude boy wannabe, or something. It is just happens that this is one of my favorite (secular-style) Christmas songs. The last ska song, … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #7 (Christmas Installment)→
Alright, this one may be a bit surprising. Nelly Furtado. Yes, that girl who sings “Promiscuous.” I first heard of NF, when I picked up the Whoa Nelly! demo at some record store in SLC. I liked “Well Well,” pretty much right away. I admit that it was mostly for the way it sounded in … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #6 (Nelly F.)→
This music post was inspired by Reagan. She has had a crush on Perry Ferrell (no relation to Will), since she saw a picture of him in an Nieman Marcus ad walking some dalmatians. Perry is, of course, the singer for Jane’s Addiction, then for Porno for Pyros. As you may recall, Dave Navarro, was … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #5→
I was reading GQ this morning and I read a little blurb about Lil’ Wayne, that confirmed my embarrassment of our country for liking him so much. I feel like it is finally wa(y)ning (waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! like the pun?) now. But, I swear, for a while, there you could not listen to a hiphop station, without … Continue reading Suspicions confirmed→
