iggy and the stooges // burn

Without a doubt Iggy and the Stooges are the reigning grand-Godfathers of punk-rock. Since the bad boys hit the scene in 1973 it has been on and poppin’. And what better barometer for success than their out and out popularity? I&TS are more successful now in the latter part of their 40-plus career than ever before, go figure. But yet, the rational for their success is simple, the band simply kicks your teeth in and puts a shiner on your eye with the literal onslaught of their polytechnic counter culture musical fare. The music is still brash, raucous and in-your-face badass. Check out the track Burn from the bands 2013 release Ready To Die out now via Fat Possum Records.

christopher owens // here we go again

The music wants what it wants or else it does not care.

From the lovey dovey heart of a slightly nostaligic Christopher Owens comes a nice little jingle to mingle around your earlobe. The track is “Here We Go Again,” and you can hear as much as you please on his debut solo album ‘Lysandre‘, no release date as of yet, but when I know you’ll know. Peace.

Tennis – Origins

Ride with me. Come on just for a little while. Up above the treetops and out above the sleeping houses. Let’s make a left here and head west and float out over Lake Michigan. Now, look down below at the moonlight reflecting on the rippling waters. Now, close your eyes and just let yourself go. The band Tennis invokes such imagery, makes you feel like flying high and laying low. Their song “Origins” is just as seductive as it is charming and magnetic. Enjoy. Peace.
