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)→
Ok ok ok ok ok. I’m pretty sure that LMC will most likely lose and sort of cred that it may have had, after this post. But here goes anyway. Except for those who have spent the last 18 months in a bomb shelter, or have recently awoken from a long coma, there is no … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #58 (LG)→
“Stick Around for Joy” is one of the first cds that I ever owned. It was released in 1992, which was probably near the high point of popularity for the Sugarcubes, in the US. ’92 was also the year that they broke up. It obviously didn’t slow Bjork down. In fact, in my opinion, she … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #57 (SC)→
One day when I was about 10 years old or so, I asked my older brother, who had a pretty extensive collection of music, if I could borrow a couple CDs. I was looking for something besides my usual suspects: symphonic rock, the Phantom of the Opera, and the Chipmunks. One of the CDs he … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #56 (Specials)→
Make no mistake, these guys are weird. But, they are also pretty awesome. This week, we are swinging back to the NYC Electronica scene. Fischerspooner was formed by New Yorkers Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner. They got their start performing in the Starbucks at Astor Place. So, you know the’re good. Hahahahah. For real, though, … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #55 (Fischerspooner)→
Earlier this month, I received an email from my brother Peter about contributing to the La Musica Coolica feature of Jake’s New Blog. He told me that my commentary about music was getting tired, and needed to be refreshed. Hahahaha. He didn’t really tell me that. But he did offer to chime in with some … Continue reading Guest Contributor→
Ludacris! Yeah, man. It is about time that I threw some southern hip-hip into the mix. Whenever I hear southern rap, it reminds me of the good old days before Lil’ Jon came along and ruined it all-up with “Crunk.” I mean, we all thought that Crunk was going to be one of those timeless … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #54 (Luda)→
First of all, sorry in advance. It is that time of day where I feel like everything that I bang out on the keyboard it hilarious/awesome, even though in reality it is total crap and laden with typos. It’s like punch drunk mixed with invincibility. Getting to the point: I mean, you have to love … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #53 (LT)→
Going back to the electronica side of things, this week. Paul Oakenfold is one of the World’s original trance djs. I feel like he is kind of a legend or pioneer, in his own right. Even if you don’t particularly care for trance, if you are a fan of music, then you can probably appreciate … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #52 (PO)→
Red Hot Chili Peppers. I have pretty much loved these guys forever. I got in trouble from my mom for the album cover of “Mother’s Milk.” I remember when they played at Park West with Oingo Boingo. The cover of “Mother’s Milk” has since been censored. Both Park West and Oingo Boingo no longer exist. … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #51 (RHCP)→
