Go, little record go...

my favorite song from my least favorite Pixies record as played by the band and Letterman's house band, including Nick the Lounge Singer's
keyboard player (who gets way into it.) I was really bummed on this when it came out, but it has grown on me over the years. This track and Alec Eiffel are good jams. Still, I'll listen to
Doolittle when I need a Pixies fix. I love that Nirvana was worried that everyone would think Nevermind was a blatant Pixies ripoff. Fifteen years later and Nirvana are remembered as the band that changed the music industry and the Pixies are that band at the end of Fight Club.

Note: how crazy does the longbox look when Dave holds it up?

Naked Raygun

After playing a few shows in late 2006, Naked Raygun has announced that they are back as a full time band.

Well, we think it’s about time to stop all the rumors that have been flying around since our show at Riot Fest 2006. So, we can now officially say it: Naked Raygun is back for good! More shows, releases and of course some unexpected surprises! We’re all really excited about this and cannot wait to connect with new fans and reconnect with the fans who have never let us down.

I went to the Riot Fest show, and although it was in a huge room, not usually condisive to punk or hardcore, they were awesome. I really wish I had gone to the "unannounced" show on the night before Riot Fest. Hopefully I wont have to go to Chicago to see them again.

As an added bonus, here's a live set from Cleveland in 1990. Coincidentally, this was the day after my 18th birthday, and I didn't go to the show. I think False Hope played too. What was I thinking? The sound quality is great, the set was broadcast over the local college airwaves. (link removed)

In case you were wondering who was the greatest band in the world...

This video should give you a pretty good idea. Another video from the now defunct CBGB's. If you haven't already, get the Bad Brains DVD. Now if Interpunk would send me mine, my life would be closer to being complete.

Smash It Up- Young Ones style

I stumbled across this looking for Young Ones content for a friend. I wish it was the Damned version, but according to the creator at pinkbucket.com, the Offspring cover worked better. I'll take their word for it.
