Sons and Daughters: “The War on Love Song”

February 27th, 2007 · Comments Off

In one of the cooler cross-medium experiments that I’ve heard lately, Ballads of the Book brings together Scotland’s greatest poets with some of their finest songsmiths. Though there are arguably some better known pairs (Vashti Bunyan & Rodge Glass, Idlewild & Edwin Morgan), I have to go with Sons and Daughters. I love ‘em and […]

Casper and the Cookies: “Sweet Pea”

February 26th, 2007 · Comments Off

Man, Casper and the Cookies really know how to hook me in. Last time I posted on them, they were doing “Sweet Transvestite” from Rocky Horror, and now they’re doing a song that I’ve loved since I was a kid. If you enjoy this cover, be sure to grab the rest of their performance over […]

VIDEO: Deerhoof & Busdriver: “Milking”

February 24th, 2007 · Comments Off

This video makes me believe that my biggest dissapointment of 2007 might be that I missed the Deerhoof/Busdriver tour.
