The New York Knicks are a franchise that is in serious peril. After luring high priced free agents Carmelo Anthony and Amere Stoudemire, head coach Mike D'Antoni has failed to find a point guard that could run his system of organized chaos. It seems like they have turned to NBA-journeyman and Brooklyn author/poet Tao Lin in order to save the franchise. Lin has been putting up great numbers in his first two games. Going nowhere all season without a real point guard, the Knicks turned to Lin on Saturday against New Jersey, and he delivered 25 points. He ...

I didn’t want to believe in Jeremy Lin at first. Dude burst onto the scene with a miracle game – after being cut by the Warriors and Rockets earlier this [...]

Let's shortly recap!

Jack Off Jill : Lovesong [ purchase ] Since its 1989 release via Disintigration, The Cure’s “Lovesong” (often titled “Love Song,” to the general apathy of its copyright owner) has been the object of dozens of published covers and countless live renditions by a mélange of artists representing all manner of genre. Its straightforward lyrics and their accessible expression of emotion guaranteed the song plenty of publicity and airtime, and its hooky, downbeat guitar and bass riffs laid over an anxious drumbeat and haunting, typically Goth-rock synthesizer chorus all proved not only catchy and memorable, but also easily replicable to even the ...

mp3: The Champs - Caramba From 1959, here are The Champs who, in my estimation, are a fairly under-rated group. Everyone knows and loves Tequila, but I'm often faced with surprise when I tell people that they've got several other instrumental gems in their repertoire. Perhaps it's because none of them stray too far from Tequila in terms of their general sound, but when your first release -- originally the b-side -- sells millions and rockets to number one, it's not surprising that you might try and replicate it. Caramba, which, according to Google translate, is Spanish for wow ...

Mister Daniel Ash, once of Bauhaus, went this roQ direction while Mister Peter Murphy went the “Cuts You Up” route – both of which fit perfectly on the Mother Ship.

The Truth Behind Houston’s Relative Obscurity: Why the late 90s destroyed all the cool teams. The Houston Rockets won back-to-back NBA championships in 1994 and 1995. From the 1976/77 season through those two championship teams, the Rockets missed the playoffs only 4 times. When the 1995/96 season began, “three-peat” was quickly ghosting from mouth to mouth in Houston. Unfortunately, Houston fell victim – as many professional teams did &nda..;.

Do I really need to write anything about Kenny Brown? Really?  Haven't we got to the point yet where his albums are issued at birth to each newborn child? If not this world is in a damn sad state.  Y'all know Mr. Brown learned to play mostly at the feet of Mr. Joe Callicott , and as a young man became R.L. Burnside's " adopted white son," playing guitar for Mr. Burnside (and on occasion with others like Junior Kimbrough) for twenty-six years. For the last few years he's been playing and hosting the North Mississippi Hill ...

Dark humor rules in this new video of "'67 Cutlass" from Murs album Rockets">Love & Rockets, Vol. 1: The Transformation. The video traces the narrative of the song, the ill-fated twists of a low-key drug run through the Arizona desert.

Murs just released the latest visuals for his single "67 Cutlass" off of his Rockets">Love & Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation album and they seemingly tell the tale of either a really crazy drug-induced trip to Vegas or some sort of crazy drug-induced hallucination while he was watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or pretty much any Cheech and Chong movie. Or possibly both. The weird thing about this video is that pretty much the same exact thing happened to me and a buddy of mine not more than a week ago. Crazy shit... iTunes Love and Rockets, Vol ...
