Sunday Morning Music-Fishbone

I'll be honest I kind of forgot about Fishbone, but with it being Black History Month they've started popping up in my social media. There was a time in my early 20's I casually followed them, not sure how I got turned onto them? Maybe they were at Lollapalooza one year? I actually own the... Continue Reading →

Sunday Morning Music-Truckfighters

Oh, you like heavy grooves, cymbal punctuated guitars, and long tracks? You're in the right place. One of my preferred bands for road music, Truckfighters hails from Örebro, Sweden. I first came across them in Pandora like a lot of music I find. I know that's not the cool music streaming service nowadays but back... Continue Reading →

Saturday Morning Music-Red Fang

I've posted Red Fang in the SMM before, but they're so good they deserve another post. Coming out of Portland with what I would call straight up heavy metal, their music videos are so good I have to listen to them in the background just to hear the song. They range from straight up hilarious... Continue Reading →

Sunday Afternoon Music-Documentary

Little different music post today. A documentary about Desert Rock. It's kind of long, but it's a good watch. Talks about the origins of desert rock, how the sound developed. Apparently in the 70's in Palm Springs they banned rock shows. Well, as we all know, you can't stop rock. If the Soviets got rock... Continue Reading →

Saturday Afternoon Music-Fu Manchu

I first heard Fu Manchu in 1998 on some KROQ (RIP) "new music" sample CD. I don't even know where it came from, it's been too long. The album had Evil Eye on it and I knew "oh my god these guys are amazing." Later I learned Evil Eye was on their 4th album. Fourth?... Continue Reading →

Sunday Afternoon Music-Beck

I am a casual follower of Beck and have been since Loser came out in '93. I know the whole story about how Beck didn't think the song was that good. For me, it was very different to what else we were listening to at the time. Sunday evenings are my time to chill out... Continue Reading →

Saturday Morning Music-Left Behind

I don't know a lot about this band, but I was poking around on some sites to find some new music and this particular track came up. The video for Waiting For The End sold me on it. I love bands that don't take themselves too seriously. Granted, this song was probably written long before... Continue Reading →

Sunday Morning Music-Mastadon

It's been over ten years since Mastadon's album Crack the Skye was released. It's still outstanding. In today's shuffle-all world are concept albums still a thing? Do keyboards belong in metal bands? Between the time meters, the lyrics, and the intensity and complexity of the writing, greatness emerges. No lie this is one of the... Continue Reading →

Saturday Afternoon Music-Kyuss

Despite being relatively local, somehow Kyuss escaped my notice when they were still active in the early 90's. I was even the age I could get to shows easily and still I missed them. I think in those years I was listening to Ministry, Sepultura, Helmet, some others, so I was genre-adjacent, just for some... Continue Reading →
