The Black Lips

Band: The Black Lips
Location: Atlanta, Georgia.



It makes me feel really uneasy to see this band strutted about everywhere. Their latest album is definitely worth the commotion, and I don't really think these guys will be the next White Stripes or The Strokes (this is bad, yes?) because of the fucked up things they supposedly do on stage, so it's all good.

Do like I do, and try to convince as many friends as possible to go to their show to see firsthand what all the fuss is about.

The Lawrence Arms

Band: The Lawrence Arms
Location: Chicago, Illinois.



My musical soul mate.

It all started with three songs that I found off of a random assortment of punk compilations and a few MP3 downloads. Before I knew it, I was going so far out of my way to catch these guys in concert almost five years ago. At the time, I had very few friends, none of which were interested in the show, I had no car, so I had to cut class to make the three hour bus ride, and I didn't even have a clue where I was headed. I ended up in Beverly Hills instead of West Hollywood that night. I eventually made it to the show after a long walk.

Many eventful things happened that night, and now, years later I still fall in love with this band every time I see them live.

I'm taking this time to post up a set of "hidden songs" that I always wanted as separate tracks (three of these are found within one track). I finally went and separated them, I hope someone can enjoy these as much as I do. They are not very representative musically of what the Lawrence Arms do, but they capture their spirit perfectly.
