for some reason i had always strayed away from somebody still loves you boris yeltsin and the only reason i can give is that their name turned me off. not sure what i was expecting, but it sure has hell wasnt jangly pop. their new record pershing is simply just a great pop record that if you are fan of fountains of wayne, beulah, apples in stereo, etc will definitely dig these lads.

if for some reason you the slap in the face sounds of drive like jehu have never graced your ears, here are the two first tracks from their classic yank crime. from the ashes of jehu came the likes of rocket from the crypt and hot snakes, but spawned countless intimidators along the way.

wanna thank the fine folks at the scott ford radio board for hooking me up with these black rider demos. for those who dont know, the black rider is a “musical fable” in the form of a theatre production created by tom waits. in terms of sheer creepiness i would give these demos a pretty solid 7, only slightly less apocalyptic than bone machine.

Love the website, post some of the greatest stuff I’ve ever found, but have a hard time coming back as I can never download any to make my own copies….
Nevermind…. I don’t usually look in the left column….. which led me to pass up the all important comment.
“PLEASE NOTE!!!!!! READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! SAFARI DOESNT WORK HERE GET SOMETHING ELSE IF YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! KISSES”…. so nevermind, some of the greatest stuff I’ve ever found….
yeah, sorry about that. its an ongoing issue and one that doesnt seem to be going away, ever.
Great stuff. Dont suppose you have any Tom Waits soundboard bootlegs? Searched far and wide but only found audience recordings which, especailly given his sound, arent the best…
Great to get some Tom on line. He’s such a legend. Saw him last year in London, and he was amazing, even with all the hype, he lived up to it!
Can’t get those storyteller links to work though, from a few years ago. Pity!
Thanks again though…
i <3 SSLYBY and was thrilled with their live set a few weeks ago at sxsw. have you heard the box social? they have kind of a replacements meets fountains of wayne thing goin on…
