Blake Schwarzenbach Is Awesome

Blake Schwarzenbach is the singer and guitarist from the defunct bands Jawbreaker and Jets to Brazil and right now I’m liking his music very much and feel like I ought to acknowledge that here.
My New Favourite Defunct Band

Jawbreaker. Big thanks to Jesse Lacey of Brand New for covering them on his solo tour; I’d never have heard about them otherwise.
Taking Back Sunday

For the past few years I’ve been a little embarrassed about liking this band, but there are some damn fine tunes on the new album. ‘Summer, Man’ is particularly delicious. It’s not the greatest album ever released, but it crackles and sparks in the right places and it’s overall very listenable. Perfect summer driving music. [...]
‘Grind’ by AIC

Great song, video and band. It’s been on repeat on my iPod for days.
Hips Don’t Lie

I linked to this video in this post, but it really deserves a post of its own. It’s a very strong contender for ‘the best video I’ve seen on YouTube’; the song is quite good, it’s very funny, and it re-uses recognisable content in an original way. Let’s hope that copyright holders never sink their [...]
The Misfits
Posted on May 4, 2009 - Filed Under Music | 1 Comment
I’ve been listening to this band quite a lot since I heard AFI’s cover of ‘Last Caress’. They’re incredibly good. Update: While browsing Misfits videos on YouTube I happened upon this little gem. It’s a fake mash-up of Shakira and Danzig (the Misfits’ first singer), and obviously the work of some incorrigible wag with too [...]
Oasis/Prodigy Slane Tickets For Sale

I have two and I’m selling them at cost price, which comes to €165.70 after all the ridiculous charges that Ticketmaster weighs down its tickets with. If you’re interested leave a comment and I’ll email you.
Trent Reznor’s Digg Interview

This is from a few weeks ago. It’s 40 minutes long, so it’s possibly only of interest to other Nine Inch Nails fans.
Tyrannosaurus Reznor Does It Again
Posted on April 29, 2009 - Filed Under Music | Leave a Comment
Frequent readers may recall this little outburst of mine from back in March, which resulted from NIN posting details of a European tour that at the time consisted entirely of festival slots. Fortunately, Trent subsequently added some arena shows to the tour and now I’m happily going to see them play in Amsterdam in July. [...]
Sappy

This isn’t on any of the band’s albums, so I hadn’t heard it before now. It’s a good song, but it kind of makes me sad listening to it and thinking about all the brilliant music the band could have gone on to make had Kurt not killed himself. Redundant and unoriginal thought, I know, [...]

I’ve said this to some friends recently, so apologies for repeating myself to them, but ever since Trent Reznor started twittering I’ve been avidly following his tweets and I think I finally understand the appeal of those silly celebrity magazines that some women buy. I’ve never cared about the daily life of Brad Pitt and [...]
Some More Richard Cheese

Hilarious Limp Bizkit medley. Live in Seattle.
Pirate Bay Verdict

From the BBC: A court in Sweden has jailed four men behind The Pirate Bay (TPB), the world’s most high-profile file-sharing website, in a landmark case. Frederik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Carl Lundstrom and Peter Sunde were found guilty of breaking copyright law and were sentenced to a year in jail. They were also ordered [...]

This is what YouTube was made for – Scar from The Lion King singing Richard Cheese and Lounge Against The Machine’s cover of ‘Down with the Sickness’ by Disturbed. Awesome.
Recent Musics, by drunken Me

These are both a few years old, but I’ve been listening to them a lot in the last few days. ‘Last Caress’ by AFI (Misfits Cover). Lousy camera work, but otherwise splendid. And I have to agree with the YouTube commenter who said that Davey looked way better back then, before he became stupidly muscular [...]
