Gay fight in L.A. at the Abbey…i have money on the dude throwing cheap shot haymakers!

Check out some Strokes and Jokes that were released this week

STROKES

-Mavis Staples “You Are Not Alone”

• I would still go to church if the music was like this. Jeff Tweedy took this legend to another level. Listen to “We’re Gonna Make It”
  

-Grinderman “Grinderman 2”

• It’s Nick Cave. It’s like drinking a bottle of whiskey, taking a viagra and letting lose on a porn chick in dark smokey room for 24 hours straight. Listen to THE WHOLE FUCKING RECORD

-Justin Townes Earle “Harlem River Blues”

JOKES

- Weezer “Hurley”

• Clever marketing for a really bad record.

-Linkin Park “A Thousand Suns”

• Absolutely horrible radio rock. Their first few records had anger and desperation that some how made it though the glossy production. Now these dudes write songs for suits and it sounds like it.

- Chromeo “Business Casual”

• Memo to hipsters: you are not Echo and the Bunnymen, New Order, REM or U2…so don’t try to be them. The new wave movement wasn’t ever that rad, and you trying to be the second coming of it SUCKS!…which leads me to the video HERE

Pedro The Lion - Second Best

The motel, the distances, cave into kisses cold and wet
Familiar exchanges, like needle pulling thread
The empty movements that once were so inspired
Desperate attempts to fan the flames without a fire
The mattress creeks beneath
The symphony of misery and cum
Still we lie jerking back and forth
And blurring into one

Second best oh second best
I can learn to live with this
Plus I really need a rest
After all what’s wrong with second best
What’s wrong with second best

Freddie Gibbs-STR8 KILLA-Dudes from Gary, IN. A place that makes South Central look like a play ground. Dudes flow is more legit than his background. He also is putting out his record through Gibbs Family, his own label (not imprint).
