A-Z, 1-2-3: The XX

Posted: 13th January 2011 by ed in Blogs, Ed

I knew this A-Z thing wouldn’t be easy but hen I hit the letter X I hit a wall.  The only band I had on my hard drive was X-Ecutioners.  Where did that even come from?!  Luckily I had have a hipster pal who I used to work with (and still live with) to help […]

I am running late in posting this so no time for my blathering. Just enjoy my fave tunes from Weezer. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here You Gave Your Love To Me Softly Perfect Situation

A-Z, 1-2-3: Violent Femmes

A few things happen to most of us in High School.  Awkwardness, puberty, a propensity to write bad poetry in an attempt to be “deep” and breaking away from Top 40 to find your own music.  I would wager that “Blister in the Sun” was the first song I heard from them but it really […]

A-Z, 1-2-3: The Urge

I saw The Urge open for 311 at some point in the mid-90s and liked them enough to buy their records.  I don’t think about them too much these days but the opening guitar in “Brainless” still gets me. Brainless – The opening track from “Receiving the Gift of Flavor” their 5th album and the […]

A-Z, 1-2-3: Too Much Joy

Posted: 5th January 2011 by ed in Blogs, Ed

I really would like to post this blog today so I will make a quick statement about Too Much Joy… I LOVE THIS BAND! There, I said it.  I could write for hours about why I love this band.  I will put it simply. They write perfect Power-Pop songs that have smart, clever lyrics with […]

A-Z, 1-2-3: Sugar

Posted: 4th January 2011 by ed in Blogs, Ed

Any indie music fan worth their salt knows the name Hüsker Dü.  Hailing from Minnesota (of all places) the band is credited as being a huge influence in alt music.  I can’t say that I was, or am, too into them but I certainly enjoy the work of member Bob Mould.  Bob put out a […]

Please, do not be alarmed!  I am only taking a break from it so I can get my on-air presentation of it on RadioYou (92.9 HD2) caught up with this blog.  See, I am a few letters ahead on the blog and I am super-anal and I want them to match.  It will only be […]

How to describe Reggie & The Full Effect?  Well, see, the band is pretty much one dude who was/is in The Get Up Kids.  That dude is James Dewees.  He was also in Coalesce if you care.  One day James decided to write a few songs on his own and hand them out on cassettes […]

A-Z, 1-2-3: The Queers

If I have said it once I have said it a million times… I like my music fast, catchy and under 3:30.  The Queers have that down to a science.   They are made up of 3/4s The Ramone’s plus 1/4 Beach Boys so they might not break any new ground but they certainly write some […]
