A Very Special Story- Salut les zinzins September 8, 2010En ce moment quand je suis épuisée, (ce qui est assez fréquent puisque j’ai un nouveau travail qui consiste à dire « taisez vous » 100 fois par jour) en rentrant chez moi je regarde des clips RELAX de zinzins potentiels. 1/ … Continuer la lecture → […]admin

- VIVA RADIO-TOO MANY SHOWS TO NAME August 11, 2010Yet another Viva-Radio Pyjamarama show catch-up. Seems like I’ve got 8 more shows, starting with three silly ones where I chose a word and picked all songs with that word in the title, then a bunch more awesome shows. Some of these show up in the Pyjamarama archives, some will stream live again during my usual […]Dan

- Voodoo Idols – S/T E.P. 7″ September 5, 2010First of two excellent 7inches by Voodoo Idols from Tampa/Florida. Second one has the better known We dig Nixon etched into the grooves. Nixon is great but I think Do the Kirk here is one inch(the size of my supermans cock) better. Rough and stomping with a great bass sound, pretty sax and a singer […]Ted Frat

- Untitled August 29, 2010TOUCH AND GO: THE COMPLETE HARDCORE PUNK 'ZINE '79-'83 (547 pages; Bazillion Points/2010)This has been waaay too long in coming. Touch and Go - the fanzine - had already reached mythological status by the time the 1990s rolled into gear. By last year, I figured that the periodical once known as Touch and Go was a myth. In all my years of being […]Dave

- These Cookie Crumbs Are Making Me Itch September 6, 2010For whatever reason, I still have the original Beastie Boys "Cooky Puss" 12-inch that was released on Ratcage (the same label that put out "Victim In Pain"), which I first bought back in the mid-80's. I used to own almost all of the early Beastie Boys stuff back then, which put all together would probably worth about 10 bucks now: […]Brushback

- Caught In My Eye September 4, 2010THE GERMS – Live at The Starwood, Dec. 3, 1980 (Rhino Handmade, 2010) There was always something incredibly severe about the way THE GERMS sounded, playing together. Pat’s guitar, so trebly and screee-producing, took an unholy joy cutting broken shards of riffs into Lorna’s dumpy bass runs and Don’s frequent rhythmic change-ups. Darby’s animalistic howl [...

- Sound from down unda September 8, 2010Here's some New Zealand rap from Christchurch duo Dark Tower. On this 1995 Ep, these guys didn't rap about how hard they were or how many bitches they went through. However like all hip-hop there is an American influence but instead these sons of the south rap about blackberry picking and coming from a rural background. The jam packed kiwi geograph […]Chris

- THIS IS ROTTERDAM, NOT THE MISSISSIPPI September 5, 2010OK, so tell me which town the following bands are from: 10CC, Barclay James Harvest, Sad Cafe. Any idea? Now tell me which town these bands are from: Joy Division, Buzzcocks, Fall. Got it in a micro-second?In the immediate pre-punk era, there was no way of telling where a certain band was from; all local peculiarities were wiped out in favour of a generic Tr […]Niels

RIP 1970s
The 1970s were the decade of my childhood. It was a different time. No worldwide web and no cable TV. People consumed less mass media back then and if they did, it was probably around a Zenith TV with goofy … Continue reading
