West Coast Wax Vol. 4

Front 242
I was on a 242 binge this weekend. Went through their early, early stuff: Geography, Back Catalogue, and Offical Version. I really dig how mature the band is on Official Version. That album definitely paves the way for their critally acclaimed masterwork, Front by Front.

Simon & Garfunkel
I can’t get enough of that Simon & Garfunkel sound. Great for those moods where you feel you’re all alone and you can’t connect with anyone. Exactly how I feel ALL THE TIME.

N.O.T.A.
I don’t know too much about these guys other than their obscure hardcore punk. I recently came across this great site: (site link here) where the guy uploads complete albums of hidden treasures he’s unearthed throughout the years. Since his main flavor is hardcore, I frequent that site often.

Sorry
Got this album from the link above as well. Decent Fuzazi style tunes. Like N.O.T.A., I’ll have to give each of these albums another listen before I can allow them to “sink in.”

Thelonious Monk
"Again with the Monk?” Yup! Master Dub has his Miles Davis kick, I have my Thelonious Monk kick. While I was working for DWA I stumbled across a few Monk albums that I was able to import. Like last week, Monk is great early morning coffee drinking music. Very digable man.

Ok, we’re doing things a bit differently now. I’m not sure yet if this will be a reaccuring thing but instead of touching on specific albums, I’ll instead touch on the band. I listened to a lot of music last week. Bands that didn’t make the top 5 cut were: Elvis Costello, Descendents, Jim Croce, Naked Aggression and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Be sure to check back next week (probably late again) for more music you’re sure not to enjoy.

My name is Jingles Jerry and I approve this post.
