Del Gives Away New Album

May 4, 2009 RayRay One comment

Less than a year after his last release, Del the Funky Homosapien is dropping a new and totally free album called Funk Man: The Stimulus Package to all you fans of the hip-hop virtuoso. The album is available track by track or in one big file on Del’s fancy new Band Camp page (a healthy alternative to crappy myspace pages). Here’s first single “Get it Right Now!” which I’m likin’ a lot more than last single “Bubble Pop”.

Wilco Cover Woody Guthrie

May 4, 2009 RayRay Leave a comment

Wilco just recorded a cover of Woody Guthrie song “Jolly Banker” and they are giving the song away for free on their website. The only catch is that the band is asking that you make a donation of at least two dollars to the Woody Guthrie foundation. This song reminds me of the old days when Wilco had more twang to their sound and weren’t a jam band yet. Wilco also recently put out a live DVD called “Ashes of American Flags” which you can buy here.

Follow the jump as we take a trip down memory lane and countdown the top 5 old school video game tracks.

New Tunes from Malcolm Middleton

Malcolm Middleton was the man behind the pen for Scotland’s Arab Strap, and now that the band have gone their own way, Malcolm is back to his old tricks. This new single is the perfect Middleton tune, full of melancholy and wit. His new album Waxing Gibbous comes your way on June 1st.

Great Nostalgic @ Hole In The Wall 5/1

April 30, 2009 RayRay Leave a comment

Great Nostalgic is a band we’ve been following closely since we first discovered them so we were of course excited to hear about their CD release party at Hole in the Wall on Friday. Joining in the party fun will be fellow locals Sunset and The Sour Notes. The show should be a unique and new twist on your usual Great Nostalgic set because the band has invited the horn section from Hard Proof Afrobeat to play on a few songs. Show starts at 10pm with door charge being $3. The band will also be selling copies of their debut LP for $8 which includes a bonus disc of remixes done by local DJs. Here’s one of those new remixes available exclusively on ATH done by local DJ Business Man.

From The Closet: Blink-182

April 30, 2009 RayRay 20 comments

Not sure why I’ve had Blink-182 on the mind lately, but can you deny the catchy pop/punk tunes this band used to create? I highly doubt it. I remember when Enema of the State came out and I listen to it now just as much as I did back in ’99. This album also marks the band’s jump from a buzz band to a band that packed arenas across the country. I’ll admit that Dude Ranch provided a lot of success and mainstream popularity, but Enema took them to new levels. Hell let’s just celebrate that this album is about to turn 10 years old and you still love it! And let’s not forget that the band is getting back together! I chose one of my favorite gems from the album “Aliens Exist” which features a slick drum intro from then new member Travis Barker.
