It's Not That I Don't Like Your Cooking

Alright, I'm back.  I know I said that before...er, uh, two years ago.  But this time I am.  I could wax and wane on the changes in music since then, but that seems kinda boring, so I will just jump right in.

U Don't Like Rock N Roll-Hunx & His Punx

It's not that I think you're bad looking
You don't like rock'n roll
It's not that I don't like your cooking
You don't like rock'n roll
I think you got a nice body
You don't like rock'n roll

and so on...and so on...

I'm kinda surprised nobody did this earlier.  Take a snotty-cum-Brooklyn attitude (via the gay bar The Metropolitan), some garage rock, and a huge dash of equal parts 60's girl group/"We Got The Beat" The Go-Go's and you got Hunx & His Punx.  It's a very cool song...fun, great mixtape song.  In fact, everyone of Hunx & his Punx songs are like this.  We'll see about longevity and where they go with it (hopefully they'll change just enough each album to still be fun and fresh).

One of the other things I like about Hunx & His Punx is that their sexuality is both central and at the same time beside the point.  Yeah, it's a boy singing about boys and all that.  But what's cool, in 2012, it seems to be just that.

Eight Arms To Hold You-The Goon Squad

"Found" this on my Ipod...all you really need to know about the song is that it's from the Goonies soundtrack (yes, the Goonies), does not feature Cyndi Lauper and the video features an octopus.  Oh, and its 80's freestyle.  What's more to like?


1.       Seventh Heaven-Pale Sketcher

      Love love love.  Know nothing about the band.  Think they are from Austin, Texas.  Its kinda gorgeous and I actually think would be cool to hear in a club as the opening song.  Or last song.  Swirly beautifulness
