IT’S A HIT!

Jay Reatard – “It Ain’t Gonna Save Me”
You got a stupid hair cut, Jay Reatard. Real stupid haircut.

But this track is good:

This too:

Wavves – “So Bored”
So, Travis heard about another user with an instrument and he’s “stoked.” I gave ‘er a listen and I like this track pretty good. But I don’t like you, Wavves. And I don’t like the extra ‘v’ in your name. Shit’s ridiculous. That said, when Courtney Love starts sending us money again, we’ll get a Buddyhead stage and pay you to breakdown like that every-night for a week.

Sparks – “Lighten Up, Morissey”
This song would’ve been a hit on account of the title alone. Doesn’t hurt to have been written by the ever-awesome Sparks. And what was I saying about rad power-pop and sex-predators…oh yeah:

And speaking of (non-violent) sexual offenders…

No Bunny – “Raw Romance”
Last week, I swore to nuke any casette tape that came my way. But I just can’t do this seven-year old jackalope no wrong. So I won’t review it. Instead, I’ll just hold my tongue and let technology make the rabbit’s retarded little tape into actual music. And it’s pretty fun b-side stuff. Buddyhead loves you.

IT’S A MIX…

Iggy Pop – “King of the Dogs”
Well, it’s not last years Stooge’s albums and it’s not a a Sum41 collaboration. But it’s no Tom Waits, either.

DESERVES THE DICK.

Mastodon – “Divinations”
Right here. Get your clown shoes, right here.

Free Energy – “Dream City”
ATTN: “Free Energy.” Please re-title your song “SOUL-LESS GARBAGE MADE BY DICK-LESS FAKES.”

Best,
Rock n’ Roll

Trumpets and na-na-na’s, indeed.

The Mars Volta – “Since We’ve Been Wrong”
Gauging by the title, I assumed this track would be an apology for all those off-key Yes covers. Turns out it’s another Yes song. Fool me once…

Modest Mouse – “Guilty Cocker Spaniels”
I’m impressed. I figured this was just going to be about rape. Now, start writing good songs.
