Buffalo Daughter - Sax, Drugs and Rock 'N' Roll 7"

I love Buffalo Daughter. I just wore my New Rock/No New Rock T shirt this weekend. This 7 inch was recorded live at Club Quattro in Osaka, Japan on July 6th, 1999. I saw them once live at the Grand Royal CMJ showcase at Irving Plaza and it was pretty great.

Digital Hardcore

I was really into digital hardcore for a hot second in high school. During that time I bought these two 7 inches and the Atari Teenage Riot cd. I think both of these 7 inches sound a bit dated but the Shizuo 7 inch is better.

Video Thursday

I love this video. It's directed by Miranda July and it's simple but great. "Do you think I'm an animal? Am I not?"



I love videos where people dance on buses or trains. There have been many times when I was listening to Pizzicato 5 on the subway and half expected everyone to bust out in choreographed dance moves. This is probably one of my favorite songs of all time plus Cibo Matto are in the video. Also as a bonus, here is a remix of Ladyfingers by DJ Wally.



This video is a classic. I used to have an awesome Sonic Youth t shirt of two teenagers slow dancing but I lost it many years ago.

Ladies Who Lunch - Kims We Love + Everybody's Happy Nowadays

Ladies Who Lunch is Kate Schellenbach (ex drummer of Beastie Boys and Luscious Jackson) and Josephine Wiggs. They recorded these two 7 inches in the mid 90s on Grand Royal Records. The 'Kims We Love' 7 inch includes covers of Sonic Youth's Bull in the Heather and The Pixies' Gigantic. When I was in college I'd spend hours writing emails trying to get new records for my radio show. Since it was broadcast on a television (behind the cafeteria's lunch menu) a lot of promo guys wouldn't send me records. The Everybody's Happy Nowadays 7 inch is one pretty decent score from those days.
