Pat Rock on Aug 25th, 2008Monday Jam: Sonic Youth - Hits of Sunshine (For Allen Ginsberg)

Someday I’d really like to explore Sonic Youth’s catalog. Here’s a song that I’ve listened to a lot this summer. It’s a lot more psychedelic than anything I usually listen to, but gets me going anyways.

Pat Rock on Aug 19th, 2008Monday Jam: The Olympics

Outside of dark horse democrats (Dean, Edwards, etc…) I am pretty immune to hype and I feel absolutely no sense of patriotism at all. So every four years the Olympics roll around and flies right under my radar.
This year has been different. From the opening ceremonies I have been hooked. I admit that the [...]

Pat Rock on Aug 4th, 2008Monday Jam: The National - Blank Slate

I’ve been meaning to post something from these guys for almost two years, maybe more. Ever since I heard their single, “Abel” off of their Alligator release.
Anyways here’s new single from the The National: Blank Slate
Let me know what you think.

Pat Rock on Jul 28th, 2008Monday Jam: Tegan and Sara - Back in Your Head (Remix)

Cute lesbian twins playing electronica with irresistable pop hooks, what’s not to love?

Pat Rock on Jul 14th, 2008Monday Jam: Robert Pollard - Western Centipede

I’m no music critic, I know what I like and what I don’t like, but I don’t have a lot of reason for either of them. Mostly I like music that “kicks me in the balls” whatever that means. It means a lot to me, but probably means very little to you.
For better or [...]

Pat Rock on Jul 10th, 2008Monday Jam: Standells - Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White

I’m feeling ornery, and blue collar, and class war-ish so here’s a nice litte blue collar/class war anthem for you.
Good Guys Don’t Wear White
I know I’m a bit behind on posts, and I’ve got some real goodies lined up, but first I have to clear the decks of some other work.

Pat Rock on Jun 24th, 2008Monday Jam: My Morning Jacket - Remnants

Unless you are living under a rock then you already know that My Morning Jacket’s new album, Evil Urges has been released. 2008 is the year of the Jacket. So far they have been on Saturday Night Live, Conan, and the covers of all the important music mags. They are on tour [...]

Pat Rock on Jun 16th, 2008Monday Jam: They Call Me Gutter-Man!

First a story, and then the Monday Jam
Home Repair Hilarity
I spent this Saturday and last Saturday 20 feet in the air hanging off a ladder removing 50 feet of gutter and the rotted out gutter board behind it.
Why did my gutter board rot and tear away from the house taking the gutter with it? [...]

Pat Rock on Jun 9th, 2008Monday Jam: Hot and Sweaty - The Erotic EP 2008

Oh my sweet rapture
I hear Jesus and the angels singing
Hallelujah
Calling me to enter the promise land
–Pedro The Lion
Its June, and all around you strawberries are bursting on the vine.
And by strawberries bursting on the vine I mean sex.
And by sex I mean it must be time for our second annual Erotic EP. Nothing preachy [...]

Pat Rock on Jun 2nd, 2008Monday Jam: Mudhoney - Hate the Police (And More!)

I’m a sucker for seeing bands from my youth so when I read that Mudhoney was going to be in Louisville I bought tickets as fast as I could click.
And we were not to be disappointed! The show was amazing. Julia and me met up with the Louisville boys (Kirk, Danny, and Brent [...]
