some tunes floating 'round the turntable

as far as i'm concerned, it's always good news when the beastie boys release a new album. here's a cut (if you can't hear it here, check it on youtube) and a couple of other tracks that have been floating around of late.

The Beastie Boys - Make Some Noise
The Fall - Aspen Reprise
Lil' Kim - Queen Bitch

Listen to all three tunes on Youtube.

The riches of Post-Punk

How many great songs and bands emerged in the so-called post-punk era.  I'm still getting around to catching up (30 years later!) with most of them.  But no other period of music is doing it for me as much as this one right now.  Bands like Public Image Limited, Wire, Joy Division, Pere Ubu, Mission of Burma, The Fall, Gang of Four, New Order, and Echo & the Bunnymen.

Here's a great song I just recently discovered.  I listen to it like I eat Triscuits.  Can't do it just once.

Echo & the Bunnymen:  Monkeys (listen on Youtube)
