Since the ABC video on “The Day My Kid Went Punk” went down, I found this little jem.
In 1983, AM Northwest Portland with Margie Boule and Jim Bosley (a morning news talk show) had a punk segment with a live studio audience full of them. It’s a great incite to how confused the older people were of the “strange looking kids” that they were slightly frightened of. Quite entertaining. Their guest, Buck Munger, then publisher of Oregon’s music trade magazine “Two Louies” discusses the new Punk music scene in Portland.
Buck Munger, who is still involved with the music scene was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame this past January. Two Louies was considered Portland’s version of Rolling Stone and named after Portland’s greatest hit, “Louie Louie” by the Kingsmen. There is a tribute website dedicated to the magazine, including a history of Portland’s punk rock with some photos by people that use to work there. Pretty cool read if you have the chance.
Je deteste Serge Gainsbourg (I hate Serge Gainsbourg) is a compilation of mashups.
The free album mixes Gainsbourg with the likes of Notorious B.I.G, Sugarhill Gang, Eminem, Ja Rule, The Gossip, Kelis and more. (Although I would skip the first track with Offspring, its a bit annoying for my taste.)
Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz) lends his vocals to the new single “Saturday Come Slow” for Massive Attack’s upcoming release, Heligoland Heligoland comes out Feb 9th. Check out the other released Massive Attack single, “Paradise Circus,” here. Many of the songs are already up on youtube if you want to listen to most of the album.
“Girl I Love You” is pretty awesome.
[NSFW] The video features former porn star, Georgina Spelvin
and her 1973 adult film, The Devil in Miss Jones.
Off the upcoming album, Heligoland, out Feb. 9th. This song/video also features vocals from Hope Sandoval.
My favorite radio station on the planet has a new iPhone app, which allows me to listen to KEXP at anytime. This makes me very happy.
