Fionn Regan & All Sorts Of Other Shizzzz...



One of my favorite labels, Bella Union, recently signed Fionn Regan. Bella Union is home to The Dears, Mazarin and Midlake amoungst others. He'll be supporting Midlake in their upcoming June/July UK tour. His sound brings to mind contemporary greats like Woody Guthrie, Neil Young and Nick Drake. Fionn Regan's MySpace.

The Humpday Cover Up

The Republican HumpWhoops! Did I just make a political statement?! No! I keed! I keed! All you rightwing MOKB readers don't need to abandon me just yet. Are there any of you out there? Don't answer that, I don't care. I know Papa Dodge is out there and I don't want to get him fired up trying to convert me...I just thought it was a funny humping image. Oh Google Image Search, I love you.

World Cup Fever Continued:

2006 FIFA World CupI heard Spain looked like world-beaters today! 4 goals against a Ukraine team that isn't that bad. I watched the majority of the Tunisia v. Saudi Arabia match on my lunch hour. Some fantastic goals...Saudi Arabia's first goals since World Cup '98 and Tunisia with an equalizer in the 92nd minute! Wow.

Hey, how bad did Ronaldo look yesterday?! What a disgrace. Oh how the mighty have fallen. No way Ronaldo takes over the all-time goals scored in World Cup matches this year...he only needs two to tie the record, but I'll be suprised if he actually sees the pitch for the remainder of the Cup. Oppositely, how amazing is Ronaldhino?! That's no secret though.

I haven't linked to my homeboy GvB in a while, so head over there and check Cassettes Won't Listen's cover of RJD2's De L'alouette which is used in the current Adidas' Impossible Team (+10) World Cup sponsor commercials. Also check their cover of Pavement's Cut Your Hair. Chris and I both have World Cup Fevaaaa!

Also, visit YANP who has the mp3 audio of Boy Least Likely To's recent covering of George Michael's Faith.

SAVE THE BLOGS! (and The Internerd for that matter)

This is way important! I point you to my friends at Mocking Music who have given you an excellent base of knowledge about Net Neutrality and the bastards trying to do away with it.

They want you to sign the petition, and I want you to too, but I also urge you to get informed and call your congressman or woman! Get informed here!

Honor Student : The Cake



My homeboys, Matt & Oz, over at Honor Student are back with a new short called The Cake. These are the cats that brought you Boobs, which I posted on a while back. You can still view that one on their site as well. Many of you find MOKB everyday because you are sick Pervy Perversons who Google "Boobs" all the time. I'm just kidding, you dirty pervs, I love you and the Honor Student boys for making that happen.

Hey Dodge. I have World Cup fever in a bad way as well. Too bad the US rolled over on Monday.

Anyway, thanks for the link to the RJD2 song. I was wondering what the tune was in the Adidas commercial.

Oh,, dodge man thank you, I saw Fionn about two years ago in my hometown with about 6 other people, and I've been trying to find stuff by him since. Hunter's map is an amazing song. And speaking of the world cup, what a win for germany, eh?

I'm one of your right wing readers, but I'm not a Republican, so don't worry.

But codifying net neutrality into law is a bad, bad thing. Keep the internet safe from government regulation!

Thanks for the link Dodge. More importantly, thanks for helping to raise awareness about this issue that could affect us all in the very near future.

How come every douche bag to comment on a blog is named "Anonymous"?

Oh right, they don't have the balls to leave their anonymity at the door and reveal who they truly are.

You sir (or mam), are a coward. Not only do you hide behind your computer, you also hide your name.

Was my comment cliched? Sure. Are you a spineless prick? Definitely.

I am the only Republican, right leaning, independent music fan I know. I support my local independent record store (Vintage Vinyl, St. Louis, MO) and recognize the flaws of my paradigm and those of the leaders of my party... I just see a few more on the other side of the fence. I will say that I have always been astounded that in a musical asthetic that derives its name from the word independent, there is almost a homogenous quality to its fans: liberal. Seems rather free thinking, don't it?
