syd barrett remembered: i will if you will

“born in england as, roger keith barrett , syd was singer songwriter guitarist and painter, best remembered as a founding member of pink floyd. he was the lead vocalist, guitarist and primary songwriter during the band’s psychedelic years, providing major musical and stylistic direction in their best work, including their name, although he was left out of the group in 1968 amidst speculations of mental illness exacerbated by heavy drug use he is the one name best remembers of the work that included ‘the piper at the gates of dawn’ album.” by dd

Spank Rock: Energy live at the paris social club



the drum beat on this track is awesome. i have it in one of my mixes and i cant seem to find it now but i could swear it was without vocals or at least quite different. so i don’t know if hes sampling this or if this is from scratch. if you know let me know. i don’t know whats up with the heads and tails of the clip here, could have done without it, but skip that to the interior of the club and the music. quite red hot, paris social club. video by bryce ward.

I’m back… couldn’t let is go… just checked…. no wonder this is the base track from the can’s vitamin c. now, how does this guy even know who the can is? the dj must be german, if not its all nicholas jaars fault for pulling this stuff out again for the public. fuckin brilliant. I knew that track couldn’t be from this lame era we live in. regurgitation pays off it sounds great regardless.

TS… Meet ST

do you have bands or acts that you have said to yourself you need to see before you die? well i have plenty, and this weekend i was fortunate enough to scratch one of these bands off my list: suicidal tendencies. fronted by mike muir, younger brother of jim muir one of the original z-boys from venice beach skate days, suicidal combines many genres from punk/surf/thrash to metal and funk with a cali vato loco vibe. the energy was amazing, the sound was perfect and the band was tight, being that they are all serious professional musicians. a while back, suicidal collaborated with vans to release a suicidal X vans shoe as an ode to the original vans style of pool skating.  by jr

Britpop to the rescue: blur’s boys and girls

lately no matter where i go, and mind you i don’t go to too many places, i hear the same tracks from the attics of 90’s britpop. this song was in my head from last night’s shindig, and i have to admit i dug it up just for giggles. but let me tell you, guilt does set in, so now, the real point of this… when i was young, old folks would go to lame places and listened to their lame childhood tunes to feel “young and nostalgic”.  herds of amateur violinists would work day and night to replay those very tunes in every freakin’ elevator. well, we barfed at that nostalgia. where i was growing up there was no turning back. now what is it with our complacent lazy bum generation that has made regurgitating herbivores the trend to fend? do we not have anything new to give? well i suppose not, cause when we try, we come up with some self-help crap like: born this way… maybe it’s best we stick to blur for now and just carry on with the aging process… by dd
