Episode 39: F. Scott Must Be Dizzy From All Of That Grave Spinning

Greetings Dear Listener,

When thinking of music from the 1920's, how is Jay-Z the first person that comes to mind?  Fuck Baz Luhrman or however you spell his name.  I am certain the world ended in 2012 and no on told us.  Shitting all over The Great Gatsby is more proof that we all died and went to whatever you consider your Hell to be.  I didn't know that despair and longing could swing across a movie screen in 3-D like they were Spider-Man.

But enough about the bastardization of our culture.  Let's celebrate it with 25 tracks of musical wonderment.

Fred Armisen, of Saturday Night Live and Portlandia, has developed a character named Ian Rubbish.  The premise of the character is a punk rocker that writes songs about how much he likes Margaret Thatcher.  There are four songs posted as a free download on the Ian Rubbish & The Bizzaros website.  The songs are really funny and really good.  There is a very obvious Clash influence.

There is a new Boris record out and very difficult to track down.  Praparat was not released domestically on vinyl or CD and the import prices are insanely high.  The few tracks I have heard were brain melting.

The Bosnian Rainbows pre-order is up and running.  The record will officially be released on June 25th.

Here's the link to check out the various bundles available:

Black Sabbath's "13" is also up for pre-order.  There's a deluxe version available from the Black Sabbath website that comes with extra goodies for the Sabbath aficionado.

Here's the link to their website:

Lemuria and Boysetsfire both have new records coming out next month on Bridge Nine.  Lemuria has a new single available and the pre-order is imminent.  The Boysetsfire pre-order is up and running.

In bands on tour news:

The Anti-Flag 20th Anniversary shows are underway and they will be stopping in Pittsburgh on May 30th and 31st.  Lemuria is one of the opening acts on the 31st so count me as excited.

Flag will be here on June 7th at the worst venue ever.

And the Japandroids are oot 'n' aboot and will be stopping through town on June 16th.

Thanks for listening.

Cazart.
