Drinking Music for the weekend

2012/11/09 by Jim Leave a Comment

Earlier this year I wrote a post on my other site, I Grok Grog, about good beer music and reposted it here.

Jim’s favorite albums of 2009

2010/01/14 by Jim 1 Comment

This is my best of 2009 mix, containing samples from my 20 favorite albums of the last year.  I’m not a professional music critic and I don’t listen to every album ever released by any means, so I’m sure there are plenty of holes, and if you’d like to tell me an album I missed, … [Read more…]

The Road Most Traveled

2009/01/16 by Jim Leave a Comment

Just your basic mix of cover songs. Ska covers! Bluegrass covers! Metal covers! Punk covers! I know, it’s been done, but dammit it’s MY TURN. It was brought to my attention though that on a few of these, the original songs may be less well known, so I’ve created a second mix containing the same … [Read more…]

You Don’t Have To Call Me Darlin’, Darlin’

2008/08/26 by Jim Leave a Comment

  Way back in the day, a bunch of kids thought rock and roll was boring and started playing some super fast, sloppy, but extremely catchy rock and roll and breathed new life into a music scene that kept throwing different repackaged versions of the same 3 bands at the music consuming public.

Don’t Dance Near The Chemicals!

Alright. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. I have a few in the works, an alt-country mix, a show about great drumming performances, some others. But they are still unformed. Today I had an epiphany. I just want to rock your faces off, that’s all. So I put together this mix. … [Read more…]
