Oh Hai,

So you missed Insubordination Fest 2008 huh? Well, that's ok - because I apparently have a lot of the lineup on wax and decided to put together a small sampler of exactly what you missed. Maybe you won't be so cold and callous next year when InsubFest 2k9 rolls around 'eh?

Oh and in-line p.s.: 'Zup Matt Ramone?

Wow. So the album "Skuffed Up My Huffy" by Japanther totally smokes! I got mine off eMusic, but I'm sure it's either a) on the nets or b) you can buy it directly from the band ;)

First off, let me say if you've tried "getting into Japanther" but just can't, it's most likely because you've never seen them live. And that is a shame. Their new album is out now and honestly it's one of their best so far. Below is a totally sweet youtube vid from their set at Plan-It-X fest2 a few years back. I never liked them before seeing them live. I just couldn't figure out what it was all about. But then after I saw them live at the fest, it all just kind of came together. Needless to say you should check 'em out. Think Neutral Milk Hotel meets Information Society.

Hey Girl! - Spill your guts!

So, the first time I gave this LP a once through, I wasn't super thrilled with it. I snaked it based on a review out of Razorcake or something. Sometimes you miss the fish and shoot the barrel, they can't all be winners. But for some whimsical reason I sat down and decided to give this a once through again. *clears throat* A'WHOA! This is pretty good. I'm not here to write an essay on why you should pickup this album, but here's the skinny. If you like the idea of what a couple of angry, yet energetic, young teen musicians have on their minds - and wonder what the ramones first show must have been like in an alternative world where they were truly female, pick it up.
