The Doors - "The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)" - Song of the Day - 6/3/15
 |
| From Left To Right: Robbie Kreiger, Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, Jim Morrison |
"Texas Radio" refers to high power Mexican radio stations that blasted into Texas in the 1950s. Not restricted by American regulations these stations, whose call letters started with X, could have up to 150,000 watts. Morrison wrote the lyrics years before this was recorded, and used to perform it as a poem.
Apparently, according to unverified sources, "The verse, "Comes out of the Virginia swamps cool and slow with plenty of precision with a back beat narrow and hard to master" is most likely a reference to Morrison's first real experience with the music scene. From 1958 to 1960 Morrison lived in Alexandria, Virginia and frequented the Juke Joints (blues clubs) on Route 1 just north of Fort Belvoir where Black Blues musicians would play on Friday and Saturday nights. That area where the Juke Joints used to be is right on the eastern edge of a swamp."
Either way, we love this damn song.

Dispatch - "The General" - Song of the Day - 5/27/15
 |
| Dispatch |
Dispatch formed in 1996 in Vermont and gained a considerable amount of fame before taking a hiatus in 2002. They came back "for good" in 2011, playing periodic shows between that time span, and is currently working on their 6th studio album.
On January 1, 2015, Dispatch announced that they would be playing a benefit show on July 11, 2015 at Madison Square Garden in New York City to shine light on the issue of hunger in America. DISPATCH:HUNGER is set to be the only show in North America in 2015, and $1 from every ticket sold will go directly to starving Americans. John Butler Trio is slated to guest at the benefit concert.
Due to increased demand, on January 20, 2015, Dispatch announced that they would be adding a second night to their DISPATCH:HUNGER show, set for Friday, July 10, 2015 at Madison Square Garden. Dr. Dog is slated to guest at the concert.
The audio on this video isn't all too great, but it's pretty entertaining nonetheless. Hope you enjoy this song as much as we do :)

Weird Al Yankovic - "Amish Paradise" - Song of the Day - 1/7/15
Today's song of the day is taking us back to 1999 when Weird Al released his revered parody to Coolio's "Gangsta Paradise." Weird Al was recently added to the lineup for Governors Ball in NYC. Hope our friends in the northern states are doing well to keep warm through this polar vortex we find ourselves in. Have a great day friends :)

Duece & Charger Release Official Video for "Always Broke" feat: Benn Moore
"Deuce & Charger are a core collective of musicians,
performers and DJs enhanced by an ever-expanding family of collaborators
including former Nightmares On Wax vocalist Phoenix Pearle, Leeds duo The Witch
Hunt and hotly-tipped new solo artist Yo Preston.
Their debut release is 'Always Broke', which features
the stunning, soulful vocals of up-and-coming solo artist Benn Moore. The track
perfectly captures the Deuce & Charger sound: soaring strings and
punchy breakbeats blended with uplifting vocal hooks and poignant lyrics."
Finally having a proper video, this track is better than ever.
Here's a remix that is pretty fuckin' awesome.

Big Gigantic's "Touch the Sky" - Song of the Day [2/6/2014]
With the release of Big Gigantic's new album just days away, we thought a little taste would be a good thing. Here is the brand new video for "Touch the Sky", aka Track #4 from "The Night is Young" which officially drops on Tuesday 2/11. They launch their supporting tour the next day in Sioux Falls, SD.
We've had a chance to listen to an early release version of the album. A blend of familiar BigG sound, along with a few tracks that diverge from what we expect from them, we are still digesting the album as a whole. We can't wait to hear what you think.
For a chance to win a pair of tix to the MPLS show on Valentine's Day, check out the #BigGigianticLove contest going on over at MNUnderground.com

Pink Floyd - "Breathe/Time" - A Song of the Day Two'fer [12/26/13]
Many people had to go back to work today after the Christmas holiday, some lucky folks have spent the entire day in their pajamas. No matter where you fall on that spectrum,do yourself a favor, grab a piece of couch. Here are 9 minutes of some of the best rock ever laid down on vinyl. Performed live a the Royal Albert Hall in September of 2009, these guys can still rock even in their late 60's and early 70's. Dark Side of the Moon celebrated it's 40th birthday this year, and is arguably one of the most important rock albums of all time.
- Rock on... \../

Griz's "Hard Times" - Song of the Day [10/15/2013]
At just 23 years old, Detroit native Grant Kwiecinski (aka GRiZ) is more than your average DJ. He's also a producer and classically-trained saxophone player who is reinventing electronic music with his funky, sax-infused sounds. With his second full length album "Rebel Era" due out in a matter of days, GRiZ just unleashed the album's lead single and accompanying video, "Hard Times".
For those that want more Griz, and only Live Griz will do, you are in luck. His "Rebel Era" tour is underway and coming to a dancefloor near you... Can anyone say Minneapolis next week? I can :)
