I Said Goddamn

Glorious power pop from Red Kross. Thank you, Jebus.

Sure, Why Not

Exclusively Released on iTunes for 4 weeks only

The Rolling Stones are pleased to announce the exclusive iTunes release of 'The Rolling Stones - Hyde Park Live' album, following their two successful sold out concerts in London's Hyde Park on 6 and 13 July.

The two Hyde Park concerts saw Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood do what they do best: performing foot-stomping, crowd-pleasing sets packed full with hit singles and anthems including Brown Sugar, It's Only Rock'N' Roll, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Sympathy for the Devil and Paint It Black , all of which feature on the limited edition iTunes release. The Rolling Stones 'Hyde Park Live' is available exclusively on the iTunes Store through August 19.

I Understand You're Fond of Music...

Attention: music class now in session! [en Español para los bastardos]

Shit

Dave Brubeck, 1920-2012.  Time Out, indeed.

Shit

You Better Stay Away From Downtown

After a 15 year break, Redd Kross is back. With some Fucking Terrific Power pop.

Shit

Character actor William Finley has passed. He was 69.

In his honor, here are five things you might not know about Phantom of the Paradise.

No, You're Not Confused

Ew

That's all I got.

Stupid But Funny

The Whigs - In The Dark

The next few weeks are going to be good ones for music loving Bastardos. New albums are on the way from the Hold Steady, the National, Devo (hey, Jay, have you heard?!), Drive-by Truckers, and my beloved Whigs. Speaking of, you can get a three song pree-vue right here courtesy of Dave Matthew's ATO Records. The first song, 'Kill Me Carolyne' is the first single. I am very seriously considering picking this up on vinyl. Because I'm that far ahead of the curve.

Where's Dildo?

Here's someone we all know enjoying Toxic Airborne Event at ACL.

YYZ

11-year-old girl taking ass and kicking names with this old Rush chestnut.

Um

Dave in New Orleans; Anyface show update

Because I know everyone is hanging breathless on my every move in New Orleans, here's an update. Made the marathon drive on Saturday, 12 hours with a couple of quick stops. Went to Le Bon Temps and had AndyGator beers from Abita, which are suspiciously strong. I'm thinking high gravity. Shrimp po boy on Sunday afternoon and an ice breaker practice with Paul Sunday night. Practice went surprisingly well, and the old guys could still pull out the stops on the fast stuff. Werts arrives today at 2:30 and we should be wasted by 2:45 or so. Fellow Bastard Andrew will arrive for the show on Wednesday morning. We also have people flying in from Durham, Minneapolis, and Seattle. Jay, here's the tentative setlist:

Blandscape
Black and Green and Brown
Long Ago Blown
The Last to Know
Ballad of a Punk Rock Legend
Down to the Mat
Love is Bland
Dirty Secret
Squirt Gun
No Disguise
She's After Me
Some Ridiculous Cover Song

More reports and pics to follow. Excelsior!

Holy Similarities, Batman!
