Deep Cuts: The Replacements

June 19, 2006 / Will Harris

With a new “best of” compilation hitting the shelves this week (notice it’s not being dubbed “greatest hits”), the fabled Replacements reunion is as close to reality as ever. There are two new songs included which resulted from a brief studio session last year between Westerberg, Stinson, Mars, and longtime touring drummer Josh Freese. Considering their proximity to age 50, one can only imagine that their once-fanatical live shows will likely be tamer. Although having seen Westerberg solo several times over the past decade, I wouldn’t expect to see three guys in rocking chairs and argyle sweaters, either.

So greatest hits be damned! Here are the Deep Cuts from one of the most prolific underground college bands to never really get known…

Super Furry Animals: “The Horn”

June 13, 2006 / John Paulsen

Granted, after eight albums, I’m a little late to jump on the Super Furry Animals’ tiny bandwagon, but their new(est) disc, Love Kraft, is pretty damn good, and “The Horn” is the most accessible single of the bunch. “Psyclone!” and “Zoom” are the other big highlights, but the whole album, consisting of less SFA psychedelia and more pop, is pretty solid.

Check out some song clips here.

News Flash: “Weird” Al Yankovic takes aim at easy target

June 13, 2006 / Will Harris

There’s a new, free download – at least, as of this writing – at “Weird” Al Yankovic’s official site of his new song: “You’re Pitiful,” a parody of James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful.”

It might not be up to the standards of classics like “Eat It” or “Fat,” but it’s good for a laugh…as most songs by Al are. (Okay, so I’m a fan and I’m partial. Shut up.)

Song of the Week: Muse, “Knights of Cydonia”

June 12, 2006 / David Medsker

Gather ’round, kids. Muse’s new single “Knights of Cydonia,” from their forthcoming album Black Holes and Revelations, is right here, and it is easily the tastiest slice of rock opera that Queen never did. GOD, I love these guys.

“Satan, move in our voice.”

June 5, 2006 / Captain Capm

Awww yeah. It’s now time to pay lip service to a guy with too much time on his hands, Mr. David John Oates. His site on supposed “reverse speech” has revealed a gold mine of hidden backwards messages through the years. Oates doesn’t only do it with music, but with speeches of dead presidents, famous celebs, and oidinary, everyday folks. That’s right, people. Your subconscious truly contains the TRUE hidden meanings behind what we say in our everyday speech! The devil is in the details, kids. We are Satanic and evil. We all secretly want to urge people to fuck, smoke dope, and praise Satan. It cannot be changed because reverse speech holds the key to our destinies!
