This is the second song I’ve heard from The Breeders forthcoming LP, Mountain Battles. It doesn’t really go anywhere, but that seems to be the point, to an almost creepy, typically beautiful (Oh, Kim) and steadily hypnotic degree. I love it. The link isn’t an mp3, so throw your headphones [...]
I knew nothing about this band until about 4 days ago when my buddy came to town and put me on. This shit is super good; psycho-delic, stoney, and yes, face melting. I’ll give you the broad strokes, some told to me by my friend, and the rest gleaned from Wikipedia: Japanese, 70’s, rock/stoner-metal, lead [...]
One of the first posts on ridemypwny was Crime Mob’s “Circles”. Since then, Diamond has left the group, Princess released her first solo album, and Mass Appeal magazine recently did a good interview with the both of them, focusing on their similarities and differences and where their future plans are. Princess’ first album “Class Is [...]
Was that first Frank Ski track too repetitive? Maybe it didn’t have enough sass. Did you want something with a stronger Baltimore accent? This is just that. From the north side of the 12″ that had “Whores in This House” under its skirt. Miss Tony laces you with some knowledge that isn’t far from “Funk [...]
This Jackie Mitoo track is no doubt heavy. It’s simultaneously dark and hopeful, with the crackling feedback giving it that mellow, stay-inside-because-it’s-too-soggy-out vibe. “Deeper and Deeper” is a cover of a Barry White track, a track that was also sampled for Ghostface’s “The Watch”, which got axed from 2001’s Bulletproof Wallets despite being one of [...]
The Ohsees are a band from San Francisco that doesn’t seem to get their due. I saw them again recently with Blood On The Wall (just what I needed) and Erase Errata (back from the dead) at Bottom of the Hill. It was the best show I have seen this year. Some hints of the [...]
In honor of putting out another Just Like You! podcast I scrapped together what I felt were my favorite pictures I took in 2007. Below are links/instructions to both of them. The picture files are kind of large, so it may take a minute for the page to load.

Let Frank Ski put you in a hypnotic tramp trance. For some reason this song is relevant again. This could blend right in to some Hercules and Love Affair, The Tough Alliance, or Crystal Castles. But fuck those guys anyways. They don’t tell it like it is. This is the B-side from the “Tony’s Bitch [...]
This is a song from the Hi-Town DJs 1998 release “We Came 2 Groove”. As far as I can tell it is the only album they released, and so far I haven’t been able to locate any other tracks from it. But if the other 10 tracks are at all like this one, then that [...]
The dawn of spring has arrived, but that hasn’t done much for my mood. The wildlife in the internal landscape is still burrowed in for a lasting winter. Treat the little critters to a mushy tranquil concert put together by Sun An. Sun and I have djed together once but it has been much too [...]
In autumn of 2006 Iron Maiden, now 33 fucking years old, released their 14th studio album “a matter of life and death”. Few bands in any genre have had runs as successful or as prolonged as Iron Maiden’s “golden years”. Lasting roughly from ‘82 until about ‘90, their heyday began with 1982’s “number of [...]
