Black Lips : We Didn't Know ... "Actually reminds me of the first time I
heard 'Let it Bleed' by the Rolling Stones; there's a similar kind of feeling that you get with records like this... it is kind of like
looking at really dirty but good pornography. It makes me want to
break into my parents' liquor cabinet, get whiskey-drunk, and play
with myself in the basement." - Village Voice. |
Free MP3. SSM : Break Your Arm For Evolution. "SSM toys with electro, progressive rock and punk-funk. What the songs share is a cantankerous rock spirit and, behind it, musings on life and death, from 'Let's Make a Baby' to thoughts like 'Before long you're gone, so prolong the inevitable'.- The NY Times - Washington Post - I Rock Cleveland - Boogie Chillin - Metro Times - Pop Matters - Urb | ||
