Red Mosquito

I have been jamming on these guys all afternoon, so good. I'm trying to make a mixer from their 4 albums/eps but can't decide what to cut.

"Formed by a bunch of record collectors and label employees, for 15 years New York's Endless Boogie have been cranking out unabashedly old-timey, long-winded electric blues in a manner that's part Canned Heat, part Can: classic rock boiled down to its fundamentals and looped into sublime, hypnotic infinity."

Jammin' With Top Dollar

I love when a band's name perfectly describes their sound.

And this one certainly does.

^^ Cool tune indeed.

These guys are at the top of my "Need To See Live" list. I did end up putting a mix together yesterday and was playing it last night. The wife asked me to put on something that sounded "less dirty". That's pretty high praise really.

I'm really surprised these dudes haven't been down under recently.

Yeah, I'd be keen to see 'em.

"Fuck School, Smoke Drugs" would make a good album title for these dudes.

I read something online about the cover of last year's Long Island, which I've always assumed was totally an artwork of band member Paul "Top Dollar" Major.

Turns out it's not...

Long Island's cover art—a freakish likeness of Major's mug—is also vintage Boogie. "We were in Oslo and we went to the Munch Museum," Eklow recalls. "I was looking at a book, and the guy I was with said 'Dude, this is my favorite guy. He's super hip amongst the death-metal bands.' I went back to the hotel and looked him up online. I then found this image and it looked just like Paul, and the dude did it in 1902! I thought it was a pretty amazing, remarkable likeness and had to be used somehow. I found out that it was public domain, and we can just use it," Eklow says laughing. "I hope."

This thread could probably cross-over with the stoner's thread, but I'm not sure.

Anyways, been playing this on loop in my car recently:

Endless Boogie - Slow Creep

Even a good boogie has to end sometime, yes?

Well...everything good has to come to an end at some point I guess.

Infinite Boogie perhaps? Nah.

Excellent bump.

for 9:39, I kept thinking that car would eventually drive off, and I kept forgetting that I wasn't listening to a bad cover of Back Door Man...

thip, I have realised that your and my musical tastes differ significantly. We seem to like similar genres but appear to appreciate quite different aspects of them.

That's cool though, just sayin'.

I think we've found common ground before, but I can't remember what it was...

that definitely was NOT our common ground, but now I'm desperate to find it...

EDIT: last year you turned me onto Kiasmos, A Winged Victory..., and Watter, all of which were honorable mentions for me... and we'll always have tWoD as our bridge over troubled musical differences

Excellent.
