Now this is a protest song featuring all sorts of riot mayhem, police and anonymous action by the band Atari Teenage Riot. ATR wants you to lip sync to this tune and film yourself doing it with a black flag in the background. No not Rollin’s and Ginn’s Black Flag logo. A solid black one like the illustration above. A sure fire way of getting on a watch list so be sure to wear a mask with the mouth cut-out at least. Make sure to look angry and sinister! Atari Teenage Riot – Black Flags (feat. Boots Riley) by Alec Empire/ ATR
Songs about the color black: TV Party MP3 by Black Flag – Probably one of greatest songs about complacency my dear sheeple. Flat Black MP3 by True Widow. Make sure it’s not a glossy black but something rebellious and ominous looking. Thin Black Sail MP3 by British Sea Power from Valhalla Dancehall (2011) Black Window MP3 by The Nico Blues from their EP Color Me Black and White MP3 by Night Surgeon from Day For Night (2011) Black Diamond MP3 by The Replacements from Let it be (1984)- Probably the best kiss cover ever. Black Satin MP3 by The Raveonettes from Lust Lust Lust (2007) if your classy though and have black sexy sheets. Why not!?
VIDEO PREMIER: When ever there is a #2 in a song title I think of the melvins #2 Pencil track. Don’t ask me why it’s irrelevant here. This new The Nico Blues – “Folk Song Number Two” video is shot entirely on GoPro Cameras and is as folky sounding as kraftwork sounds like van halen. What? Yeah, seriously folks if Mitch Easter started producing the shins or superchunk he’d have them sounding like The Nicos Blues. Great band. Enjoy!
Here’s a few pop rock ditties and for some weird coincidence they almost all have album artwork that’s moslty silverish looking. Totally ironic or is there some computer color black and white virus I don’t know about? Did our ageless youth forget about color? The Madison Square Gardeners – Teeth Of Champions
Best album title ever. In the first corner we bring you some alt-country that is as much like Tom Petty as it has some Stones /Black Crowe like impersonators from let it bleed Brooklyn U.S.A. playing on it. I tease as I really like this music being a closet alt-country fan and all. Actually what is really weird is that this music is what I really envision middle america sounding like if it were a island and they just kept reproducing. Classic keyboards and tiddy 3 part vocal harmonies with a track that talks about girls and that true love ain’t always “innocent” do remind me of Mr. Petty tonally and that Alice in Wonderland thing. You’ll see just listen in your ear holes. Download:Innocent MP3
The Owsley Brothers – Separated At Birth
In the next corner actually hailing from Florida are these guys who create minimalistic bad livers acoustic-type black t-shirt rock. BRMC analogy in tack this is a schlitz crowd. To hell with your PBR that’s too high-brow. The Brothers hail from and offer many citrus flavored types of songs but this one is called “Under the Shade of a live Oak” is a very good place to start so long as you have your beverage. Full release coming this April or so we hear. Download:Under The Shade of a Live Oak MP3
Jordan Bolton – Silver Age EP
I like the play on words for the title on this one. Which acknowledges that the golden age of music is way dead and asks you to appreciate the new. Jordan is a 18 year old song writer from Manchester England, and I suspect laptop engineer; who writes some bass driven tunes where he then layers on keys and light guitar work around his melodies. Basic formula that works really because of it’s simplicity and by Cobain’s sake he was born in the 90’s! His singing reminds me of mix between Pete Yorn and Robert Smith. He’s going to be one to watch. Check him out. Download:Black And Grey MP3
The Nico Blues – Blame The Boredom, Blame the Basements Ok if there were a Oscar for one of them talkies with color for best little short indie band video these guys should win. Even if James Franco is a tool. I’m not sure he will never live that performance down but all the rock music on this one is memorable like that first time you got some – here’s the video interweb single and number one hit “Living Proof”. Enjoy a healthy blast of guitar parts, sing along parts and big drum bangin’ parts. This collection of rock guilt will give you a swath of good times and far from that sloppy seconds feeling as this one is totally a FREE album download –dude. Why pay if you get the marketing KY-Jelly for Free? If you like that friendly Tape n’ Tapes vibe, the geeky-ness of weezer and something for the Bros’ who dig the Pixies. Then these songs will play nice in your Prius. Download:Living Proof MP3
