Video Rewind : The Wagon By Dinosaur jr

This old nugget of pure slacker goodness. I'm so bummed I sold my purple Dinosaur Jr shirt. It would looked nice on me now. I could listen to all of the albums from 85-94 all day long and not get sick of 'em. Although the SST ones are more popular and have a distictly different sound, this single has a special place en mi corazon.

Video Rewind : Arnold Layne By Pink Floyd

Dannng. It's been a week since I've wriiten on here. So I'm going to ease my way. How 'bout one of these lazy "Video Rewind's"? Ok, sounds good. One thing I've done since I last was here, was watch the dvd, Under Review: Syd Barrett. If you have a chance to check it, do it. It is a great look into this genius, and his genius music with Pink Floyd. His first single with Pink Floyd was this pop morsel of psychadelic perfection. It was released in 1967. But everyone knows this crap right? Well, anyway, it's the shit that's on my mind right now.

Video Rewind : TV Party By Black Flag

Sure, sure, Henry Rollins is my least favorite of all the Black Flag singers. And their first four years had the best music. And Damaged was far tougher than this song. But holmes. Homedog. Home slap. HOMESLICE. This song was FUN. C'mon...Black Flag with hand claps? I mean it sounds fun to me.

Video Rewind : Too Many Creeps By Bush Tetras

This video is kinda the bomb shit. Bush Tetras were some badasses. It's weird that so many better known bands have nothing videowise, but these obscure ass fools have this perfect and clear gorgeous video up. Man New York must have been the shit in '82.

Video Rewind : Mass Appeal By Gang Starr

So yesterday I went to the beach, and every time I go to the beach I go to this pretty cool record store. So I worked on my tan and then strolled into Cow Records. They have a ton of records which is cool sure, but what I REALLY love about this place is the massive collection of cassettes. Son of a bitch they have EVERYTHING. So after perusing the racks I ended up buying Hard To Earn by Gang Starr. Arguably one of the best hip hop tapes of all time. This video below is hardcore perfection.





Oh and listen up "son", if you happen to be in the 415 tonight check out all the sick rap at Booty Bassment at The Knockout on Mission. The Dogmaster D never EVER trips.

Video Rewind : Bull In The Heather By Sonic Youth

'Member this ol' thing? This was the jam in the 90s. I think I like this lp, Experimental Jet Set Trash And No Star more than most people. I think it's one of their best. Then again I don't think there is a turkey in Sonic Youth's catalog except maybe Sonic Nurse. That fucker was a serious turky. But this single and video is special. Weird this was a pop single. NOTHING is on the radio like this anymore. But back to the video. Kathleen Hanna looks ridiculous..in a goood way. I read SY opened their recent 7/4 show in New York. That sounds nice.

Video Rewind : Makes No sense At All By Husker Du

Happy 5th. Sometimes one of these god damned videos just makes you feel good. This video gem does that for me. It's so fun and good timey. Husker Du's "Makes No Sense At All", SST Records 1985. 1985. What a good year for records.

Video Rewind : Kill Surf City By JAMC

'Member this ol' thing? The Jesus & Mary Chain at their finest. So noisy and shrill yet completely melodic. Bands can only pray to achieve this greatness. The Beach Boys, Spector, and punk noise all baked into a nice shepard's pie.
