Wow. I realized it has been a while since my last post. I have literally been non-stop. This year is looking very promising. I bought sooo many great records so far and almost everything is top notch.

Here’s a few guaranteed great spins for your head:

Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears: Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is!

This record kicks so much ass. It’s soooo funky James Brown has to be dancing in his grave when this plays. It’s one of those records that gets you dancing around the house like a madman. Fun note: Someone named Josh Levy plays Baritone Saxaphone!

The Low Anthem: Oh My God, Charlie Darwin

Wow. If you are a fan of The Band or CSNY you will LOVE this record. If you buy the limited Edition numbered silkscreened package directly from their website you can download the album mp3s for free to keep busy while you wait for its fast delivery.

Neil Young: Fork In The Road

Uncle Neil has done it again! yeahhhh. This is the greatest, crunchiest, most-cohesive record he has made since Ragged Glory. If you like road songs and Neil Young, what’s to lose?

Black Lips: 200 Million Thousand

Just when I thought I was getting bored with these kids, they bust out another record of fun timeless garage pop! The cover art is a kid with braces or a witch…who knows. The album is a great spin.

Les Claypool: Of Fungi And Foe

M-M-M-M-Mushroom Men. This one will have you bouncing everywhere and it’s quite intense. If you eat mushrooms before listening to this album you’ll probably “bug-the-f*ck-out”. The Colonel is just crazy on this release.

The Strange Boys: …And Girls Club

Last year, after catching these kids live down in Austin, I hailed these kids as the next big thing. A recent write-up in Rolling Stone gives these kids their dew.  Fuzzed-out, acid, garage, pop and squeaky coming of age vocals. I just LOVE this record.

Grateful Dead: Road Trips 2.2 Carousel Ballroom 2-14-1968

This is the shit. Primordial Medicated Pig Pen Goo. This is my favorite period of the Grateful Dead and if you buy this order this 2 disc set now it comes with a bonus disc that smokes.

Pearl Jam: Ten (Remixed)

Brendan O’ Brien really did a great job remixing this classic. Back in the day I wore through 3 cassette tapes of Ten. I played it all day long over and over. For years I hadn’t listened just ‘cause I over did it…But now its fun again to recapture the album that started it all, with fresh ears.
