MonkeyBeat 71: Best of 2011

From power pop to punk to country to soul 2011 was a great year for music. So I spend this episode showcasing the best I found, but instead of limiting myself to a "Top 10" list, I limited the list to 25 tracks from the albums that I listened to the most in 2011.

MonkeyBeat 70: RAPTURE!!!

Only a few days left to "get right" with the lord. So why not do so while listening to new music from Urge Overkill, Bill Cosby & His White Puddin Pops, Robert Pollard, Pangea, Kid Congo, John Paul Keith, Fucked Up and Barrence Whitfield & The Savages. Plus a rare track from Paul Revere and a topical word of warning from Andy Shernoff of The Dictators,

Tons of new music from the likes of Dennis Coffey, The Original Sins, Night Marchers, The Masonics, The People's Temple, Cheeseburger & more. Plus live recordings from Scott McCaughey's recent series of solo gigs in Portland.

80 minutes of killer tracks including new tunes from Kurt Baker, The Db's, Peter Case, Apache & Roger Alan Wade. Plus rare tracks from The 5,6,7,8's with Jack White & Leave It To Beaver star Jerry Mathers. Also a live song by The Ugly Beats from this year's SxSW.

Today I pay tribute to one of the greatest vocalist is rock, Kent Morrill of The Wailers, who passed away on April 15th, 2011. I also play Record Store Day releases from Ty Segall, Fucked Up with Danko Jones, Jill Sobule & John Doe. Plus new music from The Cynics, Cute Lepers, Teenage Bottlerocket, Elk River TFA, Gardens, Holly Golightly, Ha Ha Tonka & more.

New music from old artists is the theme of the show. Plus I talk about seeing a 65 year old man fake his death, the 10th anniversary of Joey Ramone's passing, the new site design of MonkeyBeatCity, podcasters begging for dough and making myself square looking so I can beg for a job.

No description is provided for this episode for fear of incrimination & prosecution.

Due to time constraints I opt to do a live show & surprisingly it's not a total train wreck! I even manage to have somewhat lucid rambling about the Power Pop-A-Licious music festival, Ben Weasel's SxSW fight & my friend's new podcast "SLEW".

I drop the news on what's been going on in my life, ask why there aren't unions for tech workers & try to to bum-out about it.

I blast right out of the gate with a rant over an audio comment left by a listener. That's followed by a recap of this last week's Bender, and how I got called out this week for being a major flake.

For those of you who think I talk too much and hate my rambling, this is the episode for you, because I ain't got much to say.

MonkeyBeat 60: Underappreciated, Good Tunes & Megatouch

As I state at the top of this show, I had a bummer day. Maybe I rant a bit too much about it, how last years was a good year for music and my dream of playing Megatouch with Lemmy. If so just skip past my jibber-jab and enjoy all the great music.

I can't describe how good the music is on this show. Just listen to it.

MonkeyBeat 58: Sonic Sounds

Starting the new year off with the longest show I've ever done, because I have a back log of great tunes left over from the long break.

It's all about digging up the past this week, with live recordings from the old Garageshock Festivals, new music from old artists & few audio snippets in tribute to a hero from my youth, Svengoolie ... Heck, who am I kiddin? I was in my early 30's last time I watch his show. It's the one thing I miss most about not living in the Chicago area. Sorry, Grandma, you're a distant #2!

This week I announce the winner of the George Lynch Mr. Scary G2G Pedal Giveaway. I also discuss some of the comments left for the last show, and play a ton of new music.

Win a brand new George Lynch G2G Mr Scary Signature guitar effects pedal. To enter, just leave a comment on this post before Midnight (PST) October 23rd, 2010.

Hatred and aggression are the themes this week. From telling jocks to fuck off, to making fun of fatties, to Indian rapers with cities named after them. Of course it's all bundled in sugary sweet melodies to help it go down better.

MonkeyBeat 53: It's The Music That Makes Me

It's all about high energy music this week, starting with a slew of new tracks including tracks from Stomp Records, followed by the garage-slop sound of Slovenly Records. Then a bit of a live bootleg recording of Paul Collins' set from his show in Portland last week, and a set of tunes by the bands who opened for him.

This show kicks off with some Pinoy Rock, followed by trip around the world for some of the rockinest tunes known to man, ending with a taste of less than docile cow punk.
