My eye doctor told me to not work at a computer as much and to be a full time musican… hmmmm… where does the cash come from?

Time to start writing whimsical folk musical that gets used on adverts for cars and mobile phones?

The Jesus Lizard - Gladiator (19,700+ listeners on Last.fm)
Disjointed noise-rock from 1992’s Liar.

I had the unusual pleasure of attempting to interview David Yow when making this video last year. The only usable excerpt can be found at 6.20 - the rest of the conversation was a series of misunderstandings. Great to have met him though.

STEVE JOBS AT HOME IN 1982 — “This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.” —Steve Jobs

That’s all very well until you get tired. What, no bed, Steve?

JOE CORNISH // All Night Garage // 0 plays on Last.fm
Ok, so it might not be Christmas, but this funny song rings my (sleigh) bell any time of year.
For those who don’t know, British comedians Adam & Joe run a weekly segment on their BBC 6 Music radio show called Song Wars. Their challenge is to each create an original song based on a theme agreed in the previous episode. They are not ‘musicians’, and mainly seem to use GarageBand.
Over the duration of the series, they’ve accumulated quite a lot of these songs, which were today released as a compilation on iTunes - and this is one of my favourites.

FUGAZI // Furniture // 20,851 plays on Last.fm
Here’s one you may have missed: Furniture is one of Fugazi’s oldest songs, yet it wasn’t released until 2001 on the Furniture + 2 EP that accompanied their last album, The Argument.
Basic, funky and forthright, it definitely feels like early-era Fugazi (before Picciotto joined in on guitar), comfortably sitting somewhere between 13 Songs’ Waiting Room and Suggestion, now with the snappy percussion of a drummer who’s had a decade in which to polish his act.

My first post on WoopWoop.

Slint - Good Morning, Captain
From 1991’s Spiderland, with 22,690+ listeners on Last.fm
“Considered one of the creating forces of post-rock, Slint formed in Louisville, Kentucky, United States in 1986 from the remains of Squirrel Bait. Though they disbanded circa 1991, they continue to be a massive influence on today’s post-rock scene.”
Slint on Wikipedia…

A classic.
