Joel Frieders

Joel Frieders woke up three salmon streams by merely emitting a low frequency squelch out of his thyroid. We hope he continues with such impressive feats of science, because he for sure needs help in the tattoos of fruits in precarious situations category. Rob Campobasso for Athlete of the Month. If cream of tartar isn't actually creamy, then why the hell am I so meteor showered? Is it any wonder. IS IT ANY WONDAAAA!

Sigur Ros - Óveður

Joel Frieders | June 23, 2016
Sigur Rós changed me over a decade ago. I can still taste the Camel Lights on that porch in Long Beach, waiting for the sun to come up. I simply stopped assuming I knew.  Because of that simple personal observation, I don't look at things...

Ballerina Black - Gravity

Joel Frieders | June 22, 2016
"Gravity" was the track off the latest Ballerina Black drop that made me spin in circles with my head tilted backwards while it rained a cinematic rain on my amazingly photographic bald face. Oh, I forgot to mention I was wearing a...

YAWL - Ships

Joel Frieders | June 21, 2016
YAWL have taken the assumption that all hip hop videos contain slow motion shots of rappers smoking tweeds, drinking 'lean, and pointing at the fucking camera and dropped it into a suplex from the top turnbuckle bro.  Instead, everything in...

Men I Trust - Lauren

Joel Frieders | June 20, 2016
Holy. Fucking. Smooth. Men I Trust have touched every fucking nerve of the bass guitar on this track, and that's before the vocals even slide in. Holy jesus balls on a backseat crotch massage this is so fucking perfect. The inflection and...

Tonedeff - Use Me

Joel Frieders | June 17, 2016
I have a thing for Tonedeff. Not like a thing thing, but like a thing thing. I mean. Dude fascinates me.  I met him when we both competed to perform at Lollapalooza in 2006. He won 1st place, my band won 2nd. He got main stage. We got a...

One Song: Dosh & Ghostband - Kool Aid

Joel Frieders | June 9, 2016
Dosh is one of my favorite rhythm jizzers. Dude can play two pencils on a half empty tepid teapot and I'd be all "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BRO, DO THAT ONE THING AGAIN THAT MADE ME DO WHAT I'M DOING NOW WITH MY ARMS! WOOOOOOOO!". Of course, in my...

One Song: Hospital - Louder

Joel Frieders | June 9, 2016
Sounding like a spritely Jullian Lennon, wearing man leggings and a loose fitting puffy shirt, Hospital take jazz hands into the 23rd century. Now, I'm not one to show off my interpretive dance prowess, OH WHO AM I KIDDING OF COURSE I AM,...

Mondo Cozmo - Hold On To Me

Joel Frieders | June 8, 2016
I have no idea what this is. I have no idea who Mondo Cozmo are. I'm a fucking puddle right now.  Holy fucking shit.  If you've ever doubted the power of human touch, watch this video and then wipe yourself up off the fucking floor. Amazing...

World Premiere: Mr Dix and the AM/PM Classes - Parts of Speech Rap

Joel Frieders | June 7, 2016
Sometimes PR companies and horrible rappers hound people like us who run little music blogs about "premiering new music videos". And sometimes people who run little music blogs like us HOUND 6TH GRADE TEACHERS AND BEG TO LET US DROP THE WORLD PREMIERE MUSIC...

One Song: Zavala - Turns Off

Joel Frieders | June 6, 2016
My favorite thing about Zavala, besides the pretty twinkle shimmers the dude bathes me in, is his ability to make me smile while confused. I never know where dude is going, and I always assume he's lost, but then I open my eyes and "holy fuck...
