Playlist 16.07.2011: The Men, Graveyard, Violent Femmes, Dyke & The Blazers

Apologies for the sloppy show yesterday. Don't know if it was the holidays or the extremely shitty weather that caused it, but damn, Tegentonen sure had better moments. At least the music was great. Some gems in the shape of Dyke & The Blazers (this particular song was used by The Heavy on their single How You Like Me Now).

I also played Not Bitter, But Bored by Johnny Panic & The River Of Dreams. Doesn't ring a bell? Well, this was guitarist Alain Whyte's band when he wasn't playing with Morrissey. This song was recorded in the late nineties. Morrissey liked it and wanted to use it. The lyrics and title were altered and the song became one of Morrisseys biggest hits: Irish Blood, English Heart.

Another gem we played was an early version of Bruce Springsteens Born In The USA. Recored during the time The Boss was working on Nebraska, so quite a different take on this song.

Was there any new material? Sure, how about brand new stuff from The Men, Graveyard, Warpaint & Mogwai?!

Here's hoping for better shows. And better weather, because the summer here is more like the fall at the moment.

Playlist 25.06.2011: A Tribe Called Quest, Guitar Wolf, Black Lips, Pat Bowie

If I look on my calendar I see that the summer started last week. If I look out of my window however, I could swear it's the fall. After an early dry spell in april, it's been raining for most of the time over here. So, no Summertime to open the first episode of this summer, but some Electric Wizard. British band, they know all about rain over there. Seemed like a fitting opener.

It was a nice show yesterday; new music from the likes of Black Lips, The Feelies, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis and Guitar Wolf. I threw in a couple of classics from Pat Bowie, Skatalites and A Tribe Called Quest. About the latter, Michael Rapaport made a fantastic documentary about these guys called Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest. Watched it yesterday and was really impressed. One of the best musicfilms I've seen in recent years.

Playlist 16.04.2011: Arctic Monkeys, Night Marchers, J Mascis

Don't know what was going on last night, but there were so many mistakes (record players not working, etc.) that the show sounded like it was our first episode: a bit messy. Fortunately, I brought a bag of cool new records with me. Since it was Record Store Day, I managed to snap up quite a few nice releases and we played a selection of those items including Arctic Monkeys (pretty good stuff, put a soundcloud-link in this post, so you can check it out for yourself), Bruce Springsteen, The Black Angels and Dan Sartain.

Playlist 02.04.2011: The Night Marchers, Flats, Avengers, James Wilsey, Agent Orange

Seems that everyone's sharing that Soundcloud-page with the new Foo Fighters-record. So I wanted to pass on that and just present the list of tunes I played last night @ Tegentonen. I really wish I could share those new Night Marchers-tunes. They're really good, but only available on vinyl. This new 7" is limited to just 900 copies, so better be fast if you want one. We played a song from that fine piece of vinyl; Thar She Blows, a real classy stomper.

Besides that magnificent piece of music, there were also great new and old songs from Dan Sartain, James Brown, Flats, Obits, Secret Sisters (a great version of Buck Owens' My Heart Skips A Beat), Man Or Astroman, Bad Religion, Agent Orange, Warpaint and James Wilsey. I spent too much time babbling in between songs (a rarity), so I had to skip Non Ho Sonno by Goblin. Will see if I can play that next episode.

Playlist 26.03.2011: Dan Sartain, Obits, The Computers

I brought a lot of new records with me to the studio last night. Some of which should be out now (Obits), in april (Dan Sartain) or may (The Computers). I just had to play a track off that new Rival Schools-record. Pedals, as it is called is out now. I remember seeing this band in my hometown somewhere in I guess the early 2000s when they did't even have a record. Time sure does fly.

Furthermore I played some soundtrack-material for you from the late & great John Barry and Giorgio Moroder, whose Midnight Express theme The Chase recently got a nu-disco update courtesy of Martin Brodin. Pretty ok, if you ask me.
