La Musica Coolica #85 Wrapping up a Month of Guest Posts and Covers with Marshall Arts
Note from Jake: Everyone, sorry that this post is a day late. Pete had the entire month worth of these cover songs written and ready to go, before September was even over. I tried to get this thing in the queue before I went on vacation, but was having a difficult time rounding up the…

La Musica Coolica #84 The Month of Guest Posts and Covers Continues, with Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash… No introduction necessary. Nine Inch Nails… ’nuff said. “Hurt” was written by Trent Reznor and released in 1994 on the NIN album “Downward Spiral.” In 2002, after his wife died, but before he died himself (wow, really?), Johnny Cash released the cover. I heard the Cash version on the radio in the work…

La Musica Coolica #83 The Month of Guest Posts and Covers Continues, with Vandals
Pennywise has always kind of been hit and miss with me. They do not really have a huge variety of sound, and their singer kind of gets on my nerves after a while. I don’t think I ever bought one of their albums new, but I do know that I have owned a few of…

La Musica Coolica #82 Kicking of an October full of Guest Posts and Cover Songs
Cover songs. Tribute albums. I know that there are those out there who have a strong distaste for cover songs. Some who feel like it is taking something precious and personal and corrupting it in some way, and therefore ruining it. There are also some who think why should you try and change a good…

La Musica Coolica #81 (Best Coast)
Yes, Best Coast. You may or may not remember, Reagan and I saw them open for Kid Cudi earlier this summer. We both really liked them. They are kind of an odd combo: Two cat loving middle-aged white women, and a dude on guitar that looks like he grew up listening to metal. They are…

La Musica Coolica #80 (Billy Idol)
In case you haven’t noticed (and you probably haven’t) LMC has been on a several week long hiatus. It isn’t that I have run out of music to share. It is just that I feel like I have been distracted/uninspired for a while. Today isn’t even Tuesday, and I’m still not feeling super inspired. But…

La Musica Coolica #79 (Dj Shadow)
Photo: DJ Shadow by Zach Dilgard I first discovered DJ Shadow on one of my downtempo Pandora stations. He is probably most famous for the track “Organ Donor.” I feel like most people know that track when they hear it, even if they don’t know DJ Shadow. Anyway, he has some really good mixes, and…

La Musica Coolica #78 (Quantic)
Will Holland, a.k.a Quantic, is a man of man sounds. If you are a fan of music, then you will be a fan of something that he has done. I first started jamming to Quantic a few years ago, when “Pushin’ on” was released. I can’t really describe the flavor of that album, but it…

La Musica Coolica #77 (The Dead Milkmen) Guest Post by Pete
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…

La Musica Coolica #76 (Deee-Lite)
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…
