We…Are..The Robots

Another great cover for you. First the original: “The Robots,” by Kraftwerk. Kraftwerk was arguably the defining electronic act of all time. Sure, the SIlver Apples started it, but Kraftwerk shaped it into what seems more familiar today.

“Brickhouse,” Rob Zombie Featuring Lionel Ritchie, mp3
I’m still learning the best way to embed an mp3 into my blog (if anyone can tell me how to embed a Quicktime file, I’m all ears). But until then I will be bringing you linked music files.
This one is a doozy.
It’s “Brickhouse,” originally performed by the Commodores.

Clipse, “Wamp Wamp (Pistol Pete Remix),” mp3
The original version of this song is a great track, don’t get me wrong. But Pistol Pete’s remix takes the slowed down, steel drums version and cokes it up, so to speak. It sort of gives me anxiety to listen to it, like the cops are going [...]

The Silver Apples- Not a product of anything

And now from a product to something that no one had any idea how to sell.
Tonight I’m going to see the Silver Apples in concert at the Empty Bottle. This has been a good year for seeing bands that I never should have had the opportunity to see. I’ve already written about Roky [...]

The only recording ever made of John Lennon and Paul McCartney post Beatles, A Toot and a [...]

Shout Out Louds, “Tonight I Have To Leave It,” mp3
When I was in college, I was a radio DJ (106.1 FM, WZND!). I purposely chose the overnight shift, which would allow me to play whatever music I felt like, rather than the music I was supposed to, as WZND was modeled after a commercial [...]

M.I.A., “Paper Planes,” mp3.
This sounds like my fondest memories of 80’s radio mixed with my nightmares about 80’s culture. Who said pop music has to suck?

Max Roach, Greatest Drummer of the 20th Century, Rest In Peace

He was 83.
The only drummer that has ever played a drum solo that you’d wait to hear.

Lee Hazlewood, “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’,” mp3
Lee Hazlewood died August 4th, shortly after releasing what he called his farewell album (right on the money, there). He had been battling cancer for a long time, so it wasn’t a giant shock, but distressing nonetheless. Hazlewood was known as the “Psychedelic Cowboy,” and [...]

Freezepop, “Do You Like Boys?” mp3
I think of them as bubblegum new wave prog, if that makes any sense at all.
