Blink 182’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is Not a Sell Out

by Stevie Sanchez If you’re one of those music lovers who dig fun, funky, feel-good music and likes to have their serving of green humor as well, then you would like Blink 182’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket album. This is their fourth studio album, released on June 12, 2001. Following the success of Enema of the State and The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show, the American pop-punk band has once again hit gold with this record. It has spawned hit singles like The Rock Show, First Date, and Sta

The Strange Boys
The Echo – Los Angeles Live Review: 6/30/09 *** The Strange Boys have the youthful, wide-eyed good looks of a pop punk band, although once you start listening to their music, they are anything but twee and PG-rated. Jangly guitars, classic garage rock structures and scratchy vocals quickly make way for the kind of whiskey-fueled, devil-may-care nonchalance that bands like the Black Lips have popularized in recent years. By the time the band arrived on stage, the front row—previously occupi

Three Killer Vinyl EPs by the Hussy
The Hussy like short songs. They keep it simple, just volcanic, distorted guitar and drums, punk beats and blistering garage-inflected tunes. Both guitarist Bobby and drummer Heather sing. Sometimes they take turns, sometimes they do it together. It’s catchy, anthemic, fun stuff. If what they’re doing in the studio is any indication – a lot of this sounds completely live – their shows ought to be killer. And they have three records out on vinyl, something that more bands like this ought to be d

Jeff Beck at the Royal Albert Hall last night: music review
Saw Jeff Beck at the Royal Albert Hall in London last night, an idyllic way to spend a glorious summer evening before the predicted storms over the next few days. We even caught an old-fashioned Number 9 Routemaster bus complete with a proper conductor for the last leg of the journey, something that turns us passengers into ten-year olds, drawing smiles and getting us talking to each other. No mean feat for hard-bitten Londoners. The Hall is huge and we had good seats in the banked stalls facin

TMR Music Review: Woodstock 40th – Sly and the Family Stone
Listening to the original Woodstock 3 LP vinyl set (later reissued on a double CD), one heard this rendition of “Dance To The Music” that was lifted along with the MEDLEY: Music Lover/Higher to comprise track 4 on CD 2 after iconic farmer Max Yasgur speaks. It was a dynamic slice of the Woodstock festival which now, thanks to Sony/Legacy’s 40th Anniversary Woodstock releases is -finally – and thankfully – put in its proper perspective. Along with previously unreleased material that origi

TMR Music Review: Dave Mathews Band – Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King
The GrooGrux King is a paradox. It is the return to some of classic song writing ala “Under the Table and Dreaming” or “Beyond These Crowded Streets”. The other side of the coin has some of the most angst filled emotional music ever recorded by the band. “Time Bomb” is a heavy stand out. Dave’s screaming over an electric guitar and Hammond organ is fantastic. The deep dark lyrics of the song adds to the theme. “Squirm” is another harder departure from typical DMB. I can hear a bit of old Aeros
