I’ve been really busy with so many people coming to visit me I really haven’t had time to post here. I’m grabbing some quick songs to post before my parents come pick me up today, since now they’re up to visit this weekend. Everyone loves me!
Jarabe de Palo is a group from Spain I never [...]

Got a quickie today - this one comes to us from a vinyl album of songs from the Dr. Demento Radio Show (if you’ve never heard the Doctor’s show, it’s a place where you can hear the most oddball songs and skits around).
Today’s song is a cover of the Led Zeppelin song “Whole Lotta Love”.
“Whole [...]

Comic-con was lots of fun, [...]

Going in not knowing a thing about her, except she was on the Real World label, I expected something good and interesting, but she blew me away. For starters, Sevara has an immaculate voice that she really uses as [...]

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I’m going to the San Diego Comic-Con for the weekend (I’ll most likely be hanging out somewhere with my chums around the Keenspot/Keenspace booth *shameless plug*), and for the lack of posting while I’m away I’ve created the first radioKRUD Virtual Mix CD™! It’s a zip file (84 [...]

I am going to be very, very, very sad this week. Comicon in San Diego is a yearly tradition for me, but my moving to Canada prevents me from going this year. So I will miss the chance to hang out with fellow radioKRUDer Glenn while helping Dave pick up the slack.We’ve gotten a few [...]

I don’t know if any of you have ever heard of a website called http://www.pitchforkmedia.com but that’s where I usually go when I want to find very obscure songs by unheard of bands. Pitchfork Media deals with music news, album reviews, and they also provide a section where you download free MP3s of, as I stated earlier, [...]
