Uptones? In Berkeley? Ridiculous!

Berkeley’s ska nutters The Uptones have a gr8 promo track on Fun Fun Fun Recordings’ “MP3 Jackpot Winners”  compilation. Check out Ridiculous and the whole album, it’s stuffed with power pop goodness, most of it produced by my friend Matthew King Kaufman of Beserkley Records fame.

Ryan Adams Rant Redux

Ryan Adams now legendary meltdown on Jim DeRogatis‘ answering machine was making the rounds under the radar back in ‘04, when Blackbeard immortalized it at MP34U. Utterly hilarious, or unbearable depending on your perspective, this is what happens when an artist gets one too many personal insults from a critic, throws decorum to the wind and fires back. Little could Adams know that his rant would soon be downloaded millions of times and take on a momentum of its own.  I happen to like Ryan Adams’ music a lot, but I think I’d be down with this even if I thought it was shite! Little lite humor for your holiday fun =) Here’s the MP3.

“Mercy” is Massive

What a total hit. Great song, great vocal, great recording, great in every way.
