Robyn: Be Mine, Indestructible, Konichiwa Bitches (Live)
Up until quite recently, I vaguely remembered Robyn from hearing her song "Show Me Love" some time ago and passing it off as another forgettable song by one of the many interchangeable female pop stars that have dominated the pop culture landscape since the dawn of the music video (More...)
The Monday Set: Air Miami – San Francisco – 10/11/94
Here's one of the better live Air Miami recordings I've come across. It was recorded in San Francisco during the '94 Teen Beat Circus tour which also featured a special one-off performance by Cath Carroll (More...)
The Stone Roses: Here It Comes (Live Video)
First off I have to get this out of the way. I cannot believe this was recorded nearly 30 years ago. Though their debut album which rocketed them into fame didn't come out for another 4 years after this was recorded, the track sounds really polished and close to it's final form (More...)
The Monday Set: Acid House Kings – New York City – 7/8/06
Acid House Kings released a new single earlier this month and have a brand spanking new LP set to drop later this month. One of TSOI's writers (Avalanche) caught them on their last US tour nearly 5 years ago. Here's a recording of one of their two NYC dates back in 2006 (More...)
The Monday Set: Magic Bullets – Los Angeles – 2/19/11
On a last minute whim we decided to check out San Francisco's Magic Bullets' instore performance at Origami Vinyl a couple of weekends ago. I wasn't that familiar with the band and had only heard a few tracks streamed from MySpace, but since it was a free show we had nothing to lose (More...)
Rammstein: Feuer Frei, Haifisch (Live)
Rammstein sold out Madison Square Garden. In 15 minutes. I still find it hard to believe that this actually happened. I suppose it is a testament to the law of “supply and demand” being that it was Rammstein’s 1st U.S. show in 10 years. But still, this is Rammstein we’re talking about (More...)
Oh Land: Sun Of A Gun (Live)
There's been a ton of hype surrounding Oh Land this past month and I have to admit that I've gotten caught up in it. Earlier this month we headed over to The Echo in Los Angeles to check out an early evening show the day after their LA debut (More...)
Jello Biafra: Bleed for Me, New Feudalism, Holiday In Cambodia (Live)
This was one of the more interesting shows I’ve been to. It was billed as a “benefit for the UXO” featuring Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, taking place on the “Rocks Off Concert Series” on a cruise around the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor (More...)
Yuck: Operation (Live)
It seems to me that most bands with terrible names tend to live up to them. Yuck, however, is the exception to the rule. They played on Saturday, opening for Smith Westerns -- and blew the headliners out of the water (More...)
Peter Hook: Atmosphere (Live)
Joy Division's eponymous debut album, Unknown Pleasures, came out in 1980 and therefore Peter Hook, bass player and I am beginning to assume primary song writer, decided to throw a 30 year anniversary tour to commemorate the album (More...)
