The Music Machine - "Talk Talk" Video
A perfect garage classic if there ever was one. I've heard Music Machine's "Talk Talk" countless times over the years and it never fails to put a chill down my spine, but this video just adds a whole nother dimension! Check it: Read More

Clear Light "S/T": The Best 60's Record You've Never Heard
Ok, that the title may be an exaggeration because surely there are a ton of people out there that have heard this LP. But, up until recently, I had no clue (save for vague references) that this band had ever existed, let alone was so fucking ama ... Read More

The Voxmobile!
This is one of the most amazing and ridiculous things I've ever seen. Made to look like a Vox Phantom and equipped with a Super Continental organ, speakers and more, this car screams. The video is a bit cheesy (ok, ALOT cheesy) but it only ad ... Read More

FEAR: Live on Saturday Night Live in 81'
This performance is legendary on so many different levels and, amazingly, today was my first time ever seeing in. I'd heard the legend of Fear playing SNL on Halloween for years and for a good chunk of that time period (about 15 years or so) ... Read More
