I always find it amusing that I gravitated to Throwing Muses in the early 90′s and never listened to the Pixies for another 10 years after discovering the Muses. Throwing Muses University (Amazon MP3) was a high point in the early 90′s indie-rock thing that was happening.

Here’s Throwing Muses most known song “Bright Yellow Gun”. (I cringe about the “Bright Yellow Gun” t-shirt I often wore to work). Kristin Hersh is doing her snake charmer dance proud here.

Throwing Muses is touring again and will be at The World Cafe Live Tuesday, March 10, 2009.

Split Enz “I Got You”

Great song – I wish I was listening to this type of music, when it came out.  I had a few bands that fit this genre that I listened to in the early eightie – like Tears for Fears, but I feel I missed the boat on a bunch of bands like Split Enz (especially considering how much of a Neil Finn/Crowded House fan I am).

I’ve been bad at reading my blogs and writing anything. It gets that way in the summer I think; last thing I want to do is write.

Anyway. I really like the new album from Santogold. Perfect summer album. Here’s the single L.E.S. Artistes (iTunes) from their self-titled album.

Looks like Kermit the frog has gone to pot. Check out this video using the great Elliott Smith song “Needle in the Hay” (iTunes).

The Sad Kermit Website tells the whole story of Kermit’s sad decline.
