Pat Rock on Apr 27th, 2009Monday Jam: Gorilla - The Shandells
“Go gorilla, go go gorilla”
That’s exactly how I feel today. Busy little monkey. So here’s the Shandell’s Gorilla to keep us moving along.
Life should be back to normal now. I got my new laptop last week, and we got internet connectivity again. Maybe I’ll write a post about the trauma of [...]

Just in time for spring here’s some mindless bouncy fun from Op. Ivy: Sound System.
Pat Rock on Mar 2nd, 2009Monday Jam: Liz Phair - Flower (EXPLICIT!)
Fair warning, this week’s Monday Jam has explicit language.
By now we’re all familiar with the story. Sometime around 1991 Liz Phair finds a tape of The Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street, listens to it, and writes the album Exile in Guyville as a song by song response to Exile Main Street. The [...]

Pat Rock on Feb 9th, 2009Monday Jam: Battles - Atlas PLEASE LISTEN
I implore you to listen to this song. This is what happens when cyborgs cleverly disguised as human beings inhale helium and then decide to show human beings how the ‘borg world rocks out with its cock out.
I cannot express in words how happy this song makes me. So if there was ever a monday [...]

Pat Rock on Jan 6th, 2009Monday Jam: The Killers - Shadowplay
So, I guess admitting that I like The Killers version of Joy Division’s classic Shadowplay tantamount to saying I liked an Avril Lavigne cover of the Ramons… Oh wait I would love that. Ok, tantamount to saying I liked a Kelly Clarkson cover of PJ Harvey… Oh hell who are we kidding? I [...]
Pat Rock on Dec 22nd, 2008Monday Jam: The Kinks - Father Christmas
This has apparently become my yearly Christmas tradition but what better time to meditate on class war than at such a materialistic time as this, in such a year as this?
The Kinks - Father Christmas.
But give my daddy a job ’cause he needs one
He’s got lots of mouths to feed
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have [...]
