More Music

Three day weekends motivate me to post on my blog!

I have two pieces of music to talk about tonight before bed. First point - and most important - Nathan's band is on college radio tonight. If anyone is up late, let's listen. Go here at 11:00 pm if you want to hear it live. The archived show will be available here, but I don't know when. It seems like the dj is pretty good about keeping it up to date.

Couple of side notes on Nathan's band: A) I really dig them, which is unbecoming on a wife. B) The lead singer has a side project which strikes my funny bone. It's exactly what I like in the vein of snarky punk parody humor. Find it here (it's less good without video). The best song is the Shania Twain medley. Classic.

The less important piece of music is Tim Armstrong's new record. I have to say that there are a few tracks on here that I just love. Specifically, "Wake up" and "Hold on." A few others are really good too. This record finds Tim playing up the reggae influence that I love about his catalog. All the songs are free somewhere, and can be listened to at rancid's myspace page. Maybe other places as well. Every song has a video, and my favorite is the one for "wake up."
