Song of the Day - Rumble

Link Wray & His Ray Men - Rumble from Rumble single (1958)

Banned from many radio stations in the late 50's, Link Wray's early experimentation of distortion and the 12-bar blues is an instrumental street fight. Are you ready to rumble?

Song of the Day - Throats and Tongues Alone

The Body in the Kelp - Throats and Tongues Alone from The Body in the Kelp EP (2013)

I've heard a lot of voice samples, spoken word samples, movies and TV samples, and samples of all sorts in my day (and a lot that I have posted here), but never have I ever heard such a wicked Mainely sample as this one. This song truly speaks to my Maine maritime heart.



The Body in the Kelp are a group made up of musicians who came together for the Portland Space Gallery's 5th annual 48 Music Fest. I couldn't make it out to this year's festival, so I'm not sure who made up this stoner meets doom meets blues band... but if I had, I would have thanked them for this beautiful piece of art.

Christ bub!

That feel. It's coming.

Song of the Day - I Cry (K.Y.)

Nasty Negligee - I Cry (K.Y.) from Level 3 (2012)

Despite closing for a very mixed bag of local acts and a touring band as eardrum shattering as Host, Sterling Black and the rest of the gang put on a fine performance yesterday for their Sunday matinee punk show in Portland.

Too bad everyone left to go to work or to church or wherever/whatever people do after 6 o'clock on Sundays...
