For those unaware, The Quarrymen would eventually leave water, lose their gills, learn to live on land, kill a bunch of mastodon and evolve into The Beatles. Mayhap you have heard of them. The whole story can be found on her site as well, although perhaps in a more understandable form, so go check it out. Categorized as: Music and Stimuli

And amazingly, as I write this: no bids. I'm tempted to bid, myself. That song helped me get through college. Is that sad? This is all very sad, isn't it? Categorized as: Music and Stimuli

Label: Domino Records Josef K, named after a Kafka character, were a terrific Scottish band of the early 80s who wore their misery and angst on their sleeves. Their music is reminiscent of that weird kid at school who made everone knuckle under with a darting stare or a few phrases. Josef K were a dark lot who created solid art pop records in the vein of Magazine, Televison or the Velvet Underground. They had attitude, spite and a keen sense of pop melody that Devo would kill for. Although they initially seemed to be a brief blip on the UK pop scene at the time, in retrospect they were massively important. Categorized as: Music and Reviews

And no, that's not Gandalf on that snippet there. It's Jesus. He provides loaves, fishes, and rawk. Categorized as: Music and Stimuli

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Guess what? A vengeful cyberangel sent over links to two more songs from the Batman musical, which we've mentioned before. And holy shit, they are terrible. I mean really, seriously terrible. Like even Andrew Lloyd Webber on a bad day is thinking, "WTF is that noise?" Categorized as: Music and Stimuli
