Tags: great american music hall, mark kozelek, sun kil moonsup, jiggas? hey you can buy and download sun kil moon’s april in either flac or 192 mp3 for $9.99 or $7.99, respectively via kozelek’s label caldo verde. it’s pretty damn great, i must add, but i dont know if i dig it as much as ghosts. i much prefer kozelek’s louder, more crazy horse inspired stuff, where as april is pretty mellow overall. you can also do the same for the retribution gospel choir record, which is freakin awesome.
i make no attempts to hide my sordid musical past, in fact i know kind of relish the fact that my tastes werent always so defined. with that being said, it was with great excitement that one of my absolute favorite songs from my early 20′s. it’s amazing the shit you have to listen to whilst in the car sans ipod. i even sat through a rush song, in order to hear this.
jet city woman off queensryche’s empire
i always find it very interesting when a band/artist, who had seemingly made very little impact on societies musical conscience during their run, gets resurrected out of nowhere. no where in my brains would i have thought that dexter romweber and his band flat duo jets were going to gain some kind of resurgence, let alone a movie/documentary in their honor. during my time spent with a few of their records – most notably go go harlem baby, white trees and introducing – i attempted to get friends to hear what hear in the flat duo jets, but just about every one of the records was met with mostly utter distaste. their brand of twangy garage rock can be a hard pill to swallow, to be quite frank. but the rewards are rich if you can just stick with em. if you dig the likes of the black keys, white stripes, etc you may find the flat duo jets to your liking.
here are a few tracks off two headed cow which happens to be name of the documentary and of course the soundtrack too. chan marshall and jack white make appearances in the two headed cow.
flat duo jets myspace / chicken ranch records
here is part two of the dylan boot, you cant kill an idea. definitely check out “hard rain,” and probably my third favorite song of all time “knockin on heaven’s door.”
1. gamblin man
2. the times
3. hard rain
5. shot of love
7. solid rock
10. in the garden
12. its alright ma
13. it aint me babe
Tags: bob dylan, dexter romweber, flat duo jets, queensryche, sun kil moon, two headed cowone of my most anticipated records of the 08 is now available for consumption, of sorts. stream the new sun kil moon on their myspace page, which can be found right here. havent listened to it but i have it on good authority that it “slays,” thats coming from kyle at more cowbell. so, take it for what its worth. he’s typically pretty right on.
the gutter twins are on letterman tomorrow evening, that is wednesday march 19. they are also here in atlanta @ the roxy on friday, a show that i will actually be attending thanks to tessa @ driveafastercar.
i am always willing to give japanese ladies the benefit of the doubt and such is the case with water fai – a quartet hailing from osaka. i have not listened to this but they claimed to be influenced by mogwai and yo lo tengo, couple that with the first tidbit and i’m sold. their new record girls in the white dream is out on 4.18.

Tags: mark kozelek, sun kil moon, the gutter twins, water faihey, a new sun kil moon song and record! thanks to ryan @ muzzle o’ bees for bringing it to my attention. chiggity, check. its called “moorestown” and is going to be on april, which is due out on 4.1 on kozelek’s caldo verde records. cant say i am overly excited about the song, its more like early red house painters than sun kil moon, but in the context of the record it might make more sense. its not bad, by any means, just not particularly exciting either.

wanna do something nice for your boy this joyous christmas, hanukkah and/or kwanza? awesome! well, i have come to the conclusion that i want to stop using google ads, just cause i think it mucks up the joint. but, and here is the problem. thus far i have ammassed like 70 bucks in adsense revenue but the payout is a hundred. so, if you could, and you dont have to of course, but if you could click on one, every once in a while, that would be great. you dont have to do anything after that, just let the page load and x it out. i am hoping that over the next few weeks i can get over that hundred dollar threshold and they would then be gone. i sure would appreciate it.
btw, the new black mountain, in the future, is fuckin awesome. 100 percent killer, no filler. in case you missed and havent heard. here is the first single…
black mountain site
have you guys heard of thunder ant? its carrie brownstein and fred armisen doing something, for which i cant tell right now cause my work wont let me download or listening to anything that is up on the site. but the photos make it look even more interesting; carrie riding on the back of a mustachioed gentlemen’s cycle, fred screaming into a cell phone, fred dressed like gloria steinem and shopping at a feminist book store, fred and carrie dining out, etc. i am sure its going to be grand whatever the hell is going on.
i am always amazed on how people find my site, or more matter of factly, what they are searching for when the stumble onto these pages. so, for 2007 here are the top 10 off the wall search terms that somehow lead to captains dead.
10. the letter “t”
9. eat me out
8. doogie style fucking or just doogie style
7. drunk lesbian sisters
6. vagina
5. boner and/or cock wake up
4. prostate pics and/or prostate songs

2. pictures of licking women’s legs or just women’s legs
1. ball stretching, ballstretching pics and/or ballstretching gone wrong
i totally scraped that not listening to anything new for the rest of 07 at about hour number 12. i just knew i couldnt do it. i feel like such a quitter, but lets be honest no one likes a quitter and thats why i still smoke. anyway, this little lady is rulin my world at the moment. thao (nguyen) with the get down stay down is like a real fuckin perky cat power doin it with paul simon’s backing band featuring a human beat box. awesome!
her and their new record we brave bee stings and all is out on 1.29.08 on kill rock stars.
