Tuesday Tunes: Shannon & The Clams

New Shannon & The Clams video. Woot!

Even More: Ty Segall - Goodbye Bread

I'm super digging the video for Ty Segall’s Goodbye Bread, which came out earlier this year on Drag City Records.

Flashback Friday: Lookout!

Up for some pop punk on this fine Friday afternoon? Good. Me, too. I really need some joy after this crazy week and seeing these old Lookout! Records videos filled with loads of my old Bay Area peeps is just the thing. 

If you're interested in taking a real trip in the "wayback machine," check out Girl Germs Radio.

Flashback Friday: The High Numbers

Here's a classic clip of The High Numbers (AKA The Who) live at the Railway Hotel in 1964. I love seeing the fancy footwork of all those fine mod dudes. Yup, I'm feelin' this song and can't wait for my Friday night to begin - let the dancing commence! I'm going to see NoBunny tonight and will be at the Missing Monuments/Paul Collins show tomorrow night - a full weekend of rock 'n roll!

Flashback Friday: Duran Duran

OK, don't laugh. One of the first big concerts I ever went to was Duran Duran at the Oakland Coliseum. In 1984, I thought they were foxy. I had a HUGE crush on bassist John Taylor. Yeah, OK, I admit it... he's still my total PBF.

Even More: The Flakes

I love this ol' gem from The Flakes! Great music from the Bay Area shot by Memphis filmmaker Mike McCarthy.

Even More: Shannon & The Clams

Behold! The new Shannon and the Clams video for Sleep Talk. Yay!

Tuesday Tunes: Bare Wires & Girls

Here's a great video from former Memphis resident Matt Melton and his band, Bare Wires. And one of my jams from the Girls' 2009 LP, "Album." I love that both videos were shot all over the Bay Area (and star some folks I used to see around the way, way back when).

Tuesday Tunes: Hunx & His Punx

I'm loving this video from Hunx & His Punx - F-U-N at the amusement park!

Scion A/V Presents: Hunx & His Punx - Too Young To Be In Love from Scion A/V on Vimeo.

Tuesday Tunes: The Rantouls & La Sera

I simply must pick up the new Rantouls LP on Chocolate Covered Records. They're tops!




I'm also enjoying this tune (and especially the video) from Vivian Girls off-shoot band, La Sera. 

Tuesday Tunes: California Love - Best Coast, Wounded Lion & The Touch-Me-Nots

I'm loving this new (long-awaited!) video for one of my major Summertime 2010 jams! Best Coast is having a real break-out year. In fact, I just saw that frontwoman Bethany Cosentino was named at #4 of the NME 2010 Cool List. Whoa.



I'm also loving this brand new video from LA's Wounded Lion for the single recently realesed by my friends at Trouble In Mind Records. Woot!



And, last but not least, my friends The Touch-Me-Nots have a brand spankin' new video out today! It was great to see these guys and grab some BBQ ribs with 'em while they were in town from Oakland for Gonerfest. Love 'em! This single's a fresh release from my friend Erin's label, Classic Bar Music.
