Fa Fa Fa Funky.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5-G2_1Zj6c[/youtube] Did you know that Dee Dee of the Ramones recorded a rap album as Dee Dee King in 1989? This single is not on the album but still terrible and entertaining in a kind of car-wreck way. Seek out the whole album if you hate your ears. I like..

Phish Lights Up Hampton in Reunion

Me and Nardwuar.

Hey, I forgot to mention this happened: I went to see Nardwuar’s band, the Evaporators, earlier this month and I got a chance to meet the man. Nardwuar is very friendly and a seriously cool guy. It’s a bit late for a full review but I will tell you two..

Ratatat Interviewed On the Sound of Young America.

We posted their video for “Mirando” back in July. My friend Jesse recently interviewed Mike and Evan of Ratatat for his radio show and podcast, the Sound of Young America. I’ve featured the show a few times before on the site, and his interviews are always worth a listen. Stream..
