Man, The Go-Betweens certainly were a fun and extremely talented bunch of Aussies, as you can see in this video for “Was There Anything I Could Do?” Their poppy but nowhere near cutesy sound and style bring to mind other 80s bands like Let’s Active, Prefab Sprout, The House of Love and The Mighty Lemon Drops, who were a much-needed contrast to the Descendents, Bad Brains and Naked Raygun that were blaring through my Walkman headphones at the time. Rest in peace, Grant McLennan.

Planet Rock, population one. Thx to @michelemelcher for this find. Best shoulder & chin workout ever. Oh, and don’t forget to “crank under-handed.” John Jacobson teaches his original choreography for the song Planet Rock. Planet Rock is an original composition of John Jacobson and all credit goes to him. The original video is also available for free viewing on his website at http://www.musicexpressmagazine.com.

For those of you who are afraid of talking felines, here’s the equally mesmerizing, cat-chat-free original. via laughingsquid

Good to have Rival Schools back after a decade-long break. Their first long-player “United by Fate” is a masterpiece, love love love the song and video for “Used for Glue”. The video tells the the tale of young indie rock love  set to a fairly unromantic song. A welcomed contrast. Speaking of romance, here’s my [...]

This is one of my favorite songs ever. Is it good? Not sure, but it does take me back to a happy place when I was a little Belmartian kicking back in the Vista Cruiser staring out of the moon roof on the way to Two Guys to buy a new shirt for school picture day and maybe, just maybe, scoring a new long-playing record with the money my brother got from acting in summer theater. (Thanks Bobby Byrne Theater in a Nutshell!)

I know very little about hockey players, but this is pretty much what I thought would happen if you locked a bunch of these mulletted beasts in a room with some instruments. Be careful: It’s Red Hot!

“Are you ready to pump with ABS? This is one workout your sex life can’t live without!” I am and I have and I can tell you firsthand, the Buttermilkin’ and Angel Babies techniques have made me a much more delightful sexual entertainer in the sack. Now to tackle that ED problem…

Sure this video would be more popular if there was a “The” in front of Rock’s name, but there isn’t so just deal with the lack of Dwayne Johnson and let’s blast the shit out of our glutes and delts under the direction of Soft Rock and his hippie pal, Zar, who lives in Soft Rock’s shed and also looks pretty fucking fit, so laugh if you want to, whatever, but I wouldn’t mind being in Zar-type shape so I’m gonna do whatever the hell Soft Rock tells me while you giggle at your computer desk and amass no muscle whatsoever.

When I heard the name “The Corin Tucker Band” I pictured a dusty old Southern-fried band with a triple guitar threat all wearing Ronnie Van Zant hats and smelly vests playing endless masturbatory solos at state fairs. Forgive me indie rock, I did not realize Corin Tucker was the singer and guitarist for Sleater-Kinney, a band I enjoyed and admired for years. I am old and no longer have the brain juice to remember the names of all the member of all the bands I like. But, if you need someone to name all the members of Dag Nasty in chronological order, I’m your man.
