| | Bikini Kill Pussy Whipped CD Bikini Kill Discography of CDs
Bikini Kill's first "proper" record blasts by in a searing 25 minutes. Though improving greatly on the production quality of the band's earlier efforts, PUSSY WHIPPED still subscribes to the "everything louder than everything else" theory of sound sculpting. That said, the production convincingly adds a brittle immediacy to the record that only serves to raise the album's emotional stakes.
The standouts here are "Alien She," which is sung as a particularly gruesome lullaby while the music crunches and lurches awkwardly in the foreground; "Speed Heart," featuring a paint-peeling guitar that starts slow but works up to terminal velocity over the song's brief length; "Rebel Girl," re-recorded from YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, which here gets a jacked up drums and an added searing from the guitars; and "For Tammy Rae," which, given the fury that precedes it, is a surprisingly moving love song. The best track, though, is the one and a half-minute "Star-Bellied Boy," one of the most blunt and moving evocations of sexual frustration ever recorded--and Kathleen Hanna's vocals here will raise the hair on your arms. PUSSY WHIPPED is probably the best entry into the Bikini Kill oeuvre.

Recorded in 1991 and 1992. Includes liner notes by Kathleen Hanna and Tobi Vail.
Though they're quick to decry it in the CD liner notes, Bikini Kill found themselves manipulated into a position of being the premier "riot girl" band by a media obsessed with pigeon-holing everything. In actuality, the band comprised a number of different ethos and points ...

$12.65 
Initially pegged as "riot girls," something to which Bikini Kill always objected, the band took nearly four years to record its second full-length album, REJECT ALL AMERICAN, by which time the "movement" ...
| | Sleater-Kinney Dig Me Out CD (1997)
Pussy Whipped music CDs
$12.25  
From Olympia, Washington comes Sleater-Kinney, a hard-rocking, stripped-down, punk trio. No, this ain't 1979, but lead singer Corin Tucker does count punk godmother Patti Smith among her major influences, and it shows in this band's often-savage sound. Tucker also claims a debt to Aretha Franklin, and that too ...

Pussy Whipped songs
$12.09
In the couple of years following the recording of its debut "proper" album, Bikini Kill released three 7-inch singles--NEW RADIO, THE ANTI-PLEASURE DISSERTATION, and I LIKE FUCKING. The first of these finally sees the band getting a sympathetic production, courtesy of Joan Jett (who also contributes a second guitar to the overall sound), that does wonders for it.
All three of the songs ...
| | Shirley Horn I Remember Miles CD (1998)
Pussy Whipped album
$12.39 
I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.
This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the last recordings Miles Davis ...

| | Reverend Horton Heat Revival CD (2004)
Pussy Whipped music CDs
$13.49 
Listening to some of the lyrics on REVIVAL might give long-time fans of Reverend Horton Heat's madcap, sleaze-loving rockabilly pause. The opening track is a narrative of a man looking back on the things he regrets, hoping for redemption. Elsewhere, "Someone in Heaven" is a traditional country ballad, which is either about the loss of a loved one or turning to the Lord. "We Belong Forever" is a sweet, down-tempo love song that drips with sincerity. What's going on here? Well, it might be that the Reverend himself (guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Jim Heath) is growing up and mellowing out a bit.
Or it might be that he's just trying to psych listeners out, because REVIVAL is still jammed with yee-ha guitar riffs and giddy-up rhythms. The sound is still straight rock & roll, flavored with country, blues, and a healthy dollop of punk energy (thanks to the insanely amped-up guitars and jackhammer drums). Lyrically, Heath has some of his old bluster, too, particularly on "Callin' in Twisted" (a confessional song about calling in to work drunk), and "Party Mad" (about how Heath plans to party like crazy once his lover leaves). And, as always, Heath's axe blazes ...
| | Al Kooper Black Coffee CD (2005)
Pussy Whipped songs
$10.09 
Black Coffee is Al Kooper's first new recording of solo material in more than 30 years. While Kooper, rock music's most infamous polymath, has never been entirely idle (he has continued to sporadically produce, write, arrange, perform, and hustle), he has been living in semi-retirement in Nash Vegas since the 1990s and this is a major re-entry. The good news is that Black Coffee is a heady brew of loose, rootsy rock, soul, and funky R&B. Kooper and "the Funky Faculty" -- drummer Larry Finn, guitarist Bob Doezma, and bassist Tim Stein -- along with some select guests, turn up the inspiration dial to 10 and cut loose with a batch of solidly written originals that accent the gritty, immediate and timeless heart of a popular music that hasn't been so in decades, and a couple of crafty covers. Kooper produced and arranged the set and plays multiple instruments. The opener "My Hands Are Tied" is classically written soul in the Stax/ Volt vein. With a horn section, a trio of backing vocalists, and his B3 carrying the melody, Kooper also plays mandolin on the tune and it sounds like it was meant to be in the mix. He may be adding the first new instrument to the soul canon in decades. His singing voice is in fine shape here as well, turning in a tough, emotive performance underscored by Doerzma's ragged lead work in the break. This is followed by Keb' Mo"s "Am I Wrong," on which Kooper plays everything (and the mandolin is present here as well). This is a gritty, high ...

By the time Damion “Snazzy D” Sinclair reached the ninth grade at the age of fourteen, his interest in music and rhyming grew enormously and became stronger and growing up under the influence of such legendary musicians and rap heavyweights like Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G and the list goes on. When Snazzy recorded his first song, the feeling was so incredible he said “It feels so good ...
