Mal Blum is a folk/punk singer-songwriter in the same vein as Amanda Palmer or Kimya Dawson. It is probably not an accident then that she has actually found herself alongside those two at different points in her touring career. She has also made headway across this vast land alongside Melissa Ferrick. But this post isn’t to name drop in order to make Mal sound cooler or [...]
E-Dubble is to food flavored songs as marinade is to tofu. The two just go together, are needed by each other, in order to make things work. E-Dubble’s latest foray into the world of food based phrases is “Big Ships”. This track is the newest entry in E-Dubble’s first Friday series in which he releases a track on the first Friday of the month. There’s [...]
Broken Anchor’s retro Americana sound debuts in LP form in July. Fresh Lemonade is ten tracks, including the already mentioned “Never Leave Me Alone”. After having the chance to experience the entire album it is hard for me not to agree with LA Magazine’s assessment that “this is Budweiser tallboy music, best heard coming from the stereo of a used Cadillac.” I don’t even drink and as soon as [...]
Right before Christmas the The Hyper Actives released a critically acclaimed debut album called Rock N Roll Lives Again. The album pays tribute to some of their adrenaline fueled forefathers like AC/DC, Motorhead and Dead Boys. The album is largely made up of three chords being played for about three minutes (or less) as fast and aggressively as possible. It is a fun time packaged [...]
Put an apple in front of a shark and a bunch of weird shit happens. Namely acid drops become tender toilet paper affairs, drum sets are the new grass naps and raccoons tattoo themselves with pot leaves. At least according to Sex Jams. Sex Jams are a raucous party punk band that knows how to get the beers in the air and the acid on [...]
I move stealthily along the brick wall avoiding all spots of sunlight that peek through the crumbling masonry. It should’ve lasted longer than this, shoddy work if you ask me. Somewhere suggestions of dancing massage my ear drums. It seems everyone else is doing it but me. I quickly glance around, I don’t want to be the only one not dancing. Sure enough, an old [...]
Remember FIDLAR? I mean I haven’t posted anything about them in twenty-four hours. 1440 minutes ago (give or take a few) I mentioned that they had a kick ass EP that they just released called Shit We Recorded in Our Bedroom. It consists of four raw and ready hits including “West Coast Girls”, “Shrooms” and “Crackhead Ted.” But here at writeclickcooklisten we are most concerned [...]
My breakfast mantra is “you are eating for breakfast, what I eat for dessert.” Never does this ring more true than weekday mornings when kids come into my classroom eating things like french toast sticks with high fructose imitation syrup or sugary cereal or cinnamon buns or pop tarts. Is it any wonder that they come across as tired and lethargic just halfway through the [...]
Action Bronson, everyone’s favorite chef turned rapper, is back with another track produced by Party Supplies. In this single, titled “It’s Me”, Bronson shoves drugs up his a**, pimps a Porsche with seats made of mastodon, orders girls from a catalog, dines with centerpieces of swine and, of course, piles high the cheddar. What would be an Action Bronson song without some sort of food [...]
