This blazing Kap Bambino track, “Hunger Texas” – is making BBQ sexy. This one goes out to all our friends at SXSW in Austin this week. I’m taking the liberty of making it everyone’s official theme song. I hope the music is as good as the damn meat. THE MEAT, that’s all ya’ll talk about!

Duffy, sexy, sultry, delivering the blues, she’s kind of like blond, sober, version of Amy Winehouse. I wonder how long she’ll be able to keep that up. Getting wasted always makes for good new writing material.

Duffy - Tomorrow

Duffy - Mercy - Dunproofin’s Thankful Mix

The Breeders have been on hiatus since 2002. Its a little known fact the the band was started by Kim Deal of The Pixies. The Breeders are full of all kinds of history, research, them, interesting stuff. Well its amazing that they are back with a new album, “Mountain Battles”. The Breeders , in my opinion, they rock even harder than they did back in 90’s, loving the entire album - Bang On is right.

The Breeders - Bang On

The Breeders - No Way

When are The Kills coming back to New York? They need to let me take them out for a night, New York is still all that, maybe they’re just not going to the right places. If they are looking for “Midnight Boom”, I know where to find it.

The Kills - What New York Used to Be

The Kills - Cheap and Cheerful

When The Black Keys opened for Radiohead on their last US tour, I missed their performance, because I was “getting ready”. Still kicking myself for that one, definitely some stupid girl s&*%. But in my defense, no one told me what time their set was starting, they just told me to get over to “the spot” for “the pre-game”. Speaking of games, make sure you spend some significant time on The Black Keys website, killing nerds, Atari style.

The Black Keys - Strange Times

The Blows, great name for a band, cute, from Spain, named their album Upskirts, and sing songs about going to a Disco, seems like they’ve got a lot going for them right now.

The Blows - Disco

The Charlatans also known as The Charlatans UK (why this is, i don’t know.) I started listened to them when I was a wee little teenager. Their last album, Simpatico was released in 2006, they are proof that solid bands stand the test of time. Cheers to that, and to many more.

The Charlatans - Mis-takes

The Mae Shi - L.A. punk, making their way through SXSW with a buzz. They wrote a song, “Boys In the Attic” - and i’m going to have to dedicate it to my boys, Molly Shannon, Molly Shannon.

The Mae Shi - Boys In the Attic

MSMS are a secret gem hidden away in Seattle. They recorded their entire first album in their attic. Keep your eyes and ears on this band - I have this “feeling” about them.
