The Cramps

The Cramps play for patients at a real mental hospital. I'm not sure this will improve their conditions though.

THE BITTERS

Every other blog on the internet seems to have already said exactly this, but I'll happily repeat it- this song from The Bitters is fucking rad.

The Bitters - WARRIOR

WTF

Ok, I know this is for charity, and I'm "too young" to really appreciate Dylan, blagh blagh blagh- but this makes me feel a bit sick inside.

SWAMPMEAT

Dan from Swampmeat just gave me a copy of his/their second album, "Camp Heartbreak," and it's fucking brilliant. I guess I'm a little bias, seeing as I recorded a quarter of it last year for a uni project, but even the parts I had nothing to do with are better than most of the shit you're probably listening to right now. Here's a couple of MP3's to convince you I'm right about all this:

"Brand New Cadillac"

"Murder Talk "

Oh, and to make things even better, there's a cover on it of one of my favourite songs. And for the record, Dan's a MUCH better singer than you will ever be.

The record will be available at some point from ColdRice Records, but message the band and Dan will probably post you one for cheap.
