Jake in the desert

Listening to some fucking EXCELLENT hardcore this morning (something that's admittedly sometimes difficult to find.)

This is New York's MINDFORCE and they're fairly well known around in hardcore circles, I believe. This is their first LP 'Excalibur' from 2018 and it fuckin RIPS-- the breakdowns, lyrics, everything else. Definitely almost some Warzone feel & some general early 00s hardcore vibes.

(yet again) - Thought I'd talked about New York's WILD PINK here, but maybe not. Thanks to @jeffrey I was alerted to this killer record juust barely past when I wrote about my favorites of last year. 'Dulling the Horns' is an amazing album. Imagine REM, Tom Petty, Weezer, Bob Dylan and Billy Joel all together somehow. Pretty sure @HailsandAles and @wendigo will dig this one, maybe I've already mentioned this to both of ya'll. Couldn't find it if I have. Anyway.

this week, I've been listenting to a lot of ELIMINATOR from NYC. Their name sounds kinda like a thrash band, but this is some solid deathgrind. They put out this 'Termination EP' in 2022. It rips. (I put their logo here instead the album cover, as I realized it's a little disturbing maybe. So, a warning there.)

I love when a metal band's name perfectly illustrates what they sound like, and for this week's , FOUL DECAY nails it.

Foul Decay is just one dude in Queens, and he makes gross, fantastic death metal. The first Foul Decay demo 'Sullied as They Are by Rot and Putrefaction' is great too, but this is their first true EP from 2022, 'Cesspool of Osseous Infested Confinement'.

These four disgusting tracks are just what you needed today.

YOUBET
"CARSICK"
BRAND NEW - THE ALBUM COMES OUT MAY 10, 2024
Mastodon Post

Carsick
from Way To Be by youbet

youbetband.bandcamp.com/track/

Two youbet tracks have gotten most YouTube plays so far. "Carsick" has far and away the better recording sound mix and it is the place to start.

A current post at the WFUV site says, "It's hard to nail down a standard genre for Brooklyn band youbet; the sounds on the forthcoming Way To Be, released on May 10, are unabashedly colorful and the labyrinthine song structures radiate a playfulness that is equally confounding and inviting."

wfuv.org/content/youbet-2024

Notice that one of the musicians is dressed up as a member of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

When I say I love you, you say, "You better"
You better, you better, you bet .....

SHARON JONES
"THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND"
Mastodon Post

This Land Is Your Land
from Naturally by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
[Daptone Records]

sharonjonesandthedapkings.band

Woody Guthrie really didn't like the song, "God Bless America." So, he wrote verses of his own with at least a working title of "God Bless America for Me."

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
God bless America for me

Sharon Jones took verses from that early creation and worked them into "This Land Is Your Land" in its most commonly known form, resulting in this excellent version of the song.

"SUSS"
"SALT"
Mastodon Post

Salt
from Ghost Box (Expanded) by SUSS

suss.bandcamp.com/track/salt-2

One or, I think, two members of SUSS were in a New Wave / Western band, Rubber Rodeo, out of Providence, Rhode Island. "New wave," in this instance, has more to do with The Cars, as one terrific example, and less to do with what 1980s/MTV kids call "new wave." Rubber Rodeo was quite good and it had a hit single, "The Hardest Thing."

SUSS takes the ambient country/western idea to completion. I have only heard "Ghost Box: Expanded." "Salt" is one of my favorite tracks.

SHARON JONES AND THE DAP-KINGS
"SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED, I'M YOURS"
*****
Mastodon Post

Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours
from Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Rendition Was In by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

sharonjonesandthedapkings.band

Sharon Jones said that, in earlier days, when she approached record labels, hoping to get signed, they said she was

Too short, too fat
Too old, too black

Thorough. Jones solved the problem by making herself into a rock star anyway.

From a great Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings covers/interpretations album, "Signed Sealed Delivered" easily earns its Five Stars. This is one of her best.

BAILEN
"These Bones"

These Bones (feat. Amos Lee)
from Tired Hearts (Deluxe Edition) by BAILEN

bailen.bandcamp.com/track/thes

New York City's BAILEN gets good airplay on their hometown radio station, WFUV. This is the group's latest single.

Succinct review: I bought it.

It is quite common for the album cut being promoted to be somewhere around Track 3. This is Track 13. Not the usual.

Time travelers BAILEN posted this track several days into the future, February 6, 2024.

THE KENNEDYS RECORD RELEASE TOUR 2023

The "Headwinds" CD release tour rolls into the New York metro area!


After a string of packed houses in Peterborough NH, Bethlehem PA, Plymouth VT, as well as upstate in Norwich and Saratoga Springs and out on Long Island, we will play two shows close to home this weekend. This evening (Saturday,) we return to one of our favorite haunts, the intimate and "down-home" Turning Point in one of the most charming Hudson river towns, Piermont NY. The venue feels like the comfortable basement of an old Hudson Valley house, and that's exactly what it is! Food and beverages are available, and there isn't a bad seat in the house.

On Sunday, we return for a full show to the Village Nights series at the Washington Square Hotel presented by Richard Barone, right in the heart of Greenwich Village. As longtime Village residents, we feel like we're on our home turf, and we love the feeling that we're carrying on the vibe and tradition of the basement clubs that nurtured great artists in the past. It's like walking in the footsteps of the rock and folk legends who stayed, and wrote songs, in that very hotel. Originally called the Hotel Earle, it’s said that Ian and Sylvia wrote “Four Strong Winds” and “You Were On My Mind” during their residence there. Roger McGuinn, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, The Rolling Stones and more all were one-time residents, and you can definitely feel their vibes as soon as you step into the lounge where we’ll be playing. That’s the second of two very special album release shows this weekend, as the "Headwinds" tour rolls on!

From New York, we’ll be heading to the Northeast and the Midwest before the month of September is through. See you down the road!
____________

What to expect at our album release shows:

We’ll play a mix of newly written songs from the Headwinds CD, as well as your requests from across our entire catalog.

Many of our upcoming shows are selling fast, so get tickets now before they sell out. Most offer discounts if you buy your tickets in advance

MIKAELA DAVIS AND SOUTHERN STAR

ALBUM OF THE DAY
Mikaela Davis, “And Southern Star”
By Ben Salmon · August 08, 2023

daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-th

Home in the Country
from And Southern Star by Mikaela Davis

mikaeladavis.bandcamp.com/trac

I am counting Mikaela Davis as a New England musician, in the sense that her Catskill, New York, home is really close to the western part of Massachusetts.

Mikaela Davis is getting good airplay on major radio stations I listen to: - WFUV in New York City and WRSI in Northampton, Massachusetts, which covers a large part of western New England. Davis and her band are very good.
