Husker Du - Zen Arcade (1984)Everybody is supposed to regard Hüsker Dü as one of, if not the greatest exponents of American hardcore punk. As such, we are all supposed to bow down to them and admire their "influence" on those who came after, right? They were the ones who, along with the Violent Femmes , encapsulated the very essence of what it means to be a teenager in the eighties. Indeed, if you try to bring some sort of order to the tracks, it appears you are listening to the somewhat sorry tale of a disaffected, disillusioned, alienated youth who drifts away from his familiar ...Music Emissions3 February 2012

Week 45: Pixies (Doolittle)Good morning, everyone! I hope this Wednesday finds you well and semi-alert. If you are neither of those things…may I suggest Pixies? Before long, Pixies are going to be the center of my argument as to why the U.K. is so much better with music than Americans are even though Pixies are an American band. But that’s neither here nor there (for now). For now, I’ll simply introduce you guys to forerunners of grunge music. 8 years ago I would have said Pixies were a band from Boston, MA but I have the joy of being ...Music for the Musically Challenged26 January 2012

Prove My Love: Amanda Palmer on Covering 'Vi ..Friday night at Australia's MOFO festival, Amanda Palmer will be leading a full performance of the Violent Femmes' self-titled 1983 debut — the one that starts with the one-two-three-four punch of "Blister in the Sun," "Kiss Off," "Please Do Not Go," and "Add It Up." Her backing band? Fellow Dresden Doll Brian Viglione, two gifted members of PJ Harvey's touring outfit (Mick Harvey and John Parish), and festival curator Brian Ritchie, who also happens to be the Femmes' founding bassist.

New Year’s Special: at the “Lord of Two Face ..A belated Happy New Year to all of my readers. New Years is the time not only for looking forward, but also for looking back at the old year and summing up. This is why the month of January takes its name from the ancient Roman god Janus, who had two faces, and was always looking behind him and forward at the same time. The Lord of Two Faces, a club named after him, would feature a selection of music that moves forward by drawing on the past in new ways. It’s a tricky thing to balance. The music ...Oliver Di Place7 January 2012

Feature: 2011: Jane Child's Nose Chainby Gumshoe • December 2011 I Can’t Review Digital Files I guess there’s no need to express my distaste for cold, cyber-whatever digital files when it comes to effectively reviewing music, but since a lot of promo people and labels think I’m actually going to pay attention to the SoundCloud files they “sent” me (don’t see a return address on these bitches, though), I figured I might as well sound off on the topic once again. The real, inherent question here is, “What do you want me to do with these?” Is it a dumb question? Sure ...Tiny Mix Tapes12 December 2011
