I always wonder if artists think their fans are annoying. I tweet at artists all the time and sometimes they reply. This week I had to rappers tweet at me. Well, one of the re-tweeted me. People like Cage and MC Paul Barman who write back are so awesome. Thanks for being cool with the fans guys. I already could personally relate to the music but to see a real side seals the deal for me.

Dogcast! Under The Dog Podcast #5 A Mixtape For Tarty Tart

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

This is my first mixtape pod in the sense that I am making a mixtape for a friend and posting it online, except I have really put anything on tape as I don’t even have the equipment to do such a thing.

It’s dedicated to my friend Tarty Tart who writes the blog Love Shack, Baby. Check her out, buy music, subscribe to my feed here and enjoy the Dogcast!

Track Selection

So the first group of tracks are all female singers with the exception of the Aus-Rotten track which has a guy and girl singer and the same for Smart Went Crazy.

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks – Orphans

I picked this track as my opener because it seemed like the best opener, a nice way of saying some of this music will be challenging.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum – Phthisis

I chose this track because Tart always says she likes heavy music but hates growl singing, same goes for the stolen babies track.

Ponytail – Celebrate The Body Electric (It Came From An Angel)

I picked this one because I think Tart would like it, and I think she needs to be exposed to more challenging music.

Stolen Babies – Awful Fall

See Sleepytime notes

Aus Rotten – The Second Rape

I chose this track because Tart is a feminist and this track is a feminist anthem of sorts.

Sleater-Kinney – Modern Girl

The previous song is kinda depressing so I thought I would cheer it up a little bit with some Sleater-Kinney though I understand the lyrics are a bit tongue in cheek.

Smart Went Crazy – I Liked You Better When You Were Sick

This track and next one were chosen because Tart needs to hear more music from Washington D.C. because it’s all amazing.

Owls – What Horse You Rode In On

See above and also, a Chicago band Tart may not be familiar with.

Nickel Creek – Can’t Complain

I played this one because Tart doesn’t like bluegrass and alt-country enough.

Nurses – Technicolor

Portland band, really nice guys, great music.

Pigeon John – Money Back Guarantee

Tart doesn’t listen to enough hip-hop so what better way to sneak a song in then with a Pixies sample!

Dismemberment Plan – Gyroscope

Another D.C. track and an awesome band Tart needs to know and love.

Rival Schools – Favorite Star

I’m not sure if Tart is familiar with Walter Schrieffels and his body of music

Against Me! – Baby, I’m an Anarchist

Because Tart is a Vulgar Socialist and Statist. But I still love her regardless!

Archers of Loaf – Plumb Line

I chose this track for exposure and because she’s an indie rocker, and nothings gonna stop her.

Tom Lehrer – Masochism Tango

I found this track appropriate because she likes to over share on twitter sometimes, but that’s fine with me.

Frank Turner Poetry of the Deed video

Frank Turner was on the 3rd dogcast! and is one of my favorite artists doing ex-punk folk. His previous band was called Millions Dead and was kind of like these arms are snakes.

Millions Dead – Holloway Prison Blues

Stream the new Coalesce “OX-EP”

You know you want to hear the new Coalesce EP and it’s streaming over at http://www.lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=13534. It’s coming out on Tuesday has 7 tracks and only costs 8 bucks and is Brootal!

Sorry for the delay, things have been KARAZY! Indie hip-hop hardcore and metal about in this weeks episode of the dogcast!

Cabinet – Carry On

The Black Heart Procession – When You Finish Me

The Paper Chase – Your Money Or Your Life

Converge – Cruel Bloom

Busdriver – Sorry Fuckers

Anti-Pop Consortium – Apparently

Brother Ali – The Believers feat: Slug

Chali 2na – Graff Time

Clutch – Abraham Lincoln

Pelican – Geometry of Murder (Earth Cover)

Buried Inside – II

Hatebreed – In Ashes They Shall Read

Every Time I Die – For The Record

Evile – Time No More

Baroness – A Horse Named Golgotha Video

Very high concept video that reminds me of a cross of Natural Born Killers, the Video for “Heart Shaped Box” by Nirvana and the Dark Crystal, that Jim Henson creature feature from the early 80’s.

The song feature’s a fuzz solo that seems strait from the 1990’s that fits the cinematography to a t. I really wish they would have made a video for a few different songs on the new record as I really think there is some potential crossover that could be taking place with this band. These guys could easily get tons of fans from the Tool/Muse crowd as well as anyone who is into classic rock casually.

I’m really hoping Baroness’ new record takes off this winter and I can 99% guarantee they will be in my best of the year list.

Baroness – Cavite
