News: ATP New York Lineup

Hot damn, the lineup for ATP NY is looking awesome. Mudhoney performing "Superfuzz Bigmuff", Sleep performing "Holy Mountain" and Iggy & The Stooges performing "Raw Power". I'm loving this already..

The Definition of Appropriate...

Here's really cool live version of the song "Ritual Room" by Skin Yard from August 1990.

(How could I not post this?)

Thanks to Daniel House for bringing this to my attention. The live version of this song is really awesome. Enjoy!

EP: Goatsnake - "Trampled Under Hoof"

After taking a four year hiatus, Goatsnake put out "Trampled Under Hoof" in 2004. This is a great EP ... how can you not like Goatsnake's brand of muddy, slow, bluesy, heavy rock n roll? I feel like I can safely say that a) Goatsnake has never put out anything that isn't fantastic (obviously this is no exception), and b) Goatsnake is the best of all Greg Anderson's projects.

Also, there's a really well done cover of "Burial At Sea" by Saint Vitus on here that's definitely a must-listen track - especially for a dreary Sunday like today. Hell, you might as well make it an even drearier one by listening to this EP.

...So how about that Goatsnake reunion coming up?

2004, Southern Lord

Album: Killdozer - "For Ladies Only"

I've been listening to "For Ladies Only" by Killdozer a lot lately. This is a band that never takes themselves seriously, and this has to be the least serious of all their albums. Why, you ask? It's all covers. Elvis, Deep Purple, Steve Miller Band.... it goes on, and they're all done fantastically. There's something about Micheal Gerald's vocals that's silly, deeply sarcastic, and will really make you want to listen. Also, this will make you see these "classics" in a new light; in fact, it will make you realize how cheesy these songs really are while you enjoy how great the covers are. Their version of "Burnin' Love" is brilliant and they even make songs like "American Pie" sound good - at least if you're a fan of Killdozer you'll think so.

On a side note.. wasn't Touch and Go an awesome label?

1994, Touch and Go

1. Hush

2. Good Lovin' Gone Bad

3. Burnin' Love

4. You've Never Been This Far Before

5. One Tin Soldier - The Legend of Billy Jack

6. Take The Money and Run

7. American Pie

8. Funk #49

EP: Sons of Kyuss - S/T

There must be something in the water around here.. or its just feeling like a Kyuss / QOTSA kind of week. Here's another one for you and i'm going back even farther in time.

This is an EP by Sons of Kyuss, which I suppose is a pre-Kyuss band seeing as its the same lineup with the only difference being a slight name change. Kyuss albums like "Blues For The Red Sun" and "....And The Circus Leaves Town" have become legendary in the heavy rock world and don't really need any further uptalk; however, i was just talking to a friend about how great and overlooked Sons of Kyuss is. It's unfortunate that it's put on the backburner a lot of the time becuase this is some of the most rockin', dirty stuff the band ever put out and dear god - the riffs are awesome. This EP was released in 1990.

1. Deadly Kiss

2. Window of Souls

3. King

4. Isolation Desolation

5. Love Has Passed Me By

6. Black Widow

7. Happy Birthday

Album: Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age Split

released 1997

in the spirit of posting them crooked vultures and queens of the stone age...

the old goes into the new...the last kyuss and the first qotsa (technically second...their first release was a 2 song 7" the year before...both songs can also be found on this)

i'm hoping that by you (hopefully) being a queens of the stone age fan...you'll know who kyuss is/was

well...for those of you that don't...kyuss are considered one the first "stoner rock" bands (even before the band sleep)...and a then 14 year old josh homme played guitar for the band (then called the sons of kyuss)

but enough with the words

am i the only one that while listening to the them crooked vultures album feels the need to also listen to the queens of the stone age album SONGS FOR THE DEAF?
