http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog music for short attention spans Thu, 17 May 2012 14:00:02 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This podcast was recorded while I was supposed to be on-air for a freeform shift at KJHK. However, thanks to the remarkably intense blooming of the cottonwood trees here in Kansas, my allegies have rendered me pretty much housebound for the next few days. Thus, you get to hear a ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4239 Behold! The new video for Kepi Ghoulie's "I Bleed Rock 'N' Roll," the title track to last year's album of the same name. Released today, the video features appearances by members of the Dollyrots, Phenomenauts, and the excellent 1-2-3-4 Go! Records. You can buy the album on LP or CD ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4243 Nerd alert! Uber-geek author Neal Stephenson -- along with his collaborators on The Mongoliad Greg Bear, E.D. deBirmingham, Mark Teppo, Joseph Brassey, Erik Bear, and Cooper Moo -- will be hosting a live video chat this Thursday, May 16, at 6:00 p.m. Stephenson wrote such modern sci-fi touchstones as Snow ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4234 Dave Thompson is rapidly becoming one of our favorite music writers here at Rock Star Journalist. There's something about his writing style that's rather informal and relaxed, as if he's just a well-informed bar mate. However, the man's research and facts are spot on, and regardless of how loose his ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4230 The debut release on Limited Fanfare Records is this haunting single from the Ettes. The last record I heard from this trio was 2008's Look At Life Again Soon, which was fuzzy, echo-y, garage-y rock 'n' roll. It was fun, and I couldn’t get over how much this band made ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4227 It's been a good long while since I blew through a book as quickly as I did James F. Broderick's Now A Terrifying Motion Picture! Twenty Five Classic Works of Horror Adapted from Book to Film. Out now from McFarland & Company, Broderick's book is an enjoyable read. As I said, ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4222 Jacked to the gills on caffeine, hiding in the basement from the mugginess of the outdoors ... I got a little twitchy and repetitive on this week's show. Expect to hear a certain word many times more than you want to over the course of the podcast. I apologize for ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4217 There Is A Light is a self-published comic from Geoffrey D. Wessel and John Keogh that I picked up while waiting to talk with Tom Brazelton at C2E2. These guys had the booth directly to the left of his, and I chatted with them while Tom was working on a ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4213 It should surprise no one that the first release on Mike Conte's new label, Demon Problems, is a split featuring his band, Early Man. The other act is "LA's impossibly loud hardcore/punk duo," It's Casual. Early Man contributes the song after which the label is named, while It's Casual offers up ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4209 Strange rantings and ravings this week, as I complain about many things. Then, suddenly, like a bolt from the blue comes a rather coherent and deeply-thoughtful analysis as to why oi / streepunk never took off as a genre. Bizarre things happen in the basement, y'know? Next week's show is shaping ... http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?p=4205
