DK's Brasserie

moving!

2008-05-02T16:08:00.000-07:00

All right kids, I've decided to move this show over to Wordpress, as I prefer its layout to Blogger. Hopefully this move will encourage me to post more often. I have tons of new music to share, so it's not like I'm running out of anything but motivation.

Here's the new, improved DK's Brasserie!

And here's the new, improved RSS Feed!

21st one! gospel edition!

2008-03-18T17:35:00.000-07:00

Since my allergy-ridden voice is too nasal for the vocal parts you've all come to know and ignore in favor of the music, this edition of the Brasserie will be "hosted" by Willie Wilson and his enlightened, progressive, dare I say charming views concerning the GLBT movement. If the Internet is good for anything beyond the acquisition of pornography, it's good for finding and exposing total idiots who base their hateful, mean-spirited opinions on a religion that more or less commands you to be nice to people (well, the New Testament does, anyway).

Here's the 'cast!

playlist:
Thug Murder - Dice
Paper Dragons - The Beginning of the End
the Rimshots - Cold Sweat
Nunstalker - Luxury Point
the Arkhams - Insane

20th One!

2008-03-08T15:21:00.000-08:00

Hi, kids! Sorry for the exactly-one-month delay, but Audacity had the, well, audacity to erase this thing a couple of times. We're all set now, though. And good thing too, because I've been painting the town red at shows lately and getting lots of new music. I'm becoming a huge fan of Vitamin X and Pulling Teeth, to say nothing of Deep Sleep.

Here's the 'cast!

*The song listed in the playlist above is the correct one - I recorded that vocal break before changing the playlist around a bit and forgot to rerecord it. Oops!

update!

2008-02-08T17:14:00.000-08:00

Still working on the next edition of the Brasserie, of course, but I did get published again. Read my essay, titled "Last Call," right here. Good to know that at least one of my self-destructive personal habits can be put to use.

Also, here's a little something until the next official Brasserie update shows up: An evil, Satanic, occultist, trippy freakout rock and roll partyganza!

19th one 4 da n3rdz!

2008-01-19T15:01:00.000-08:00

Let's just say I have a broad definition of "the next couple of days," eh? Anyway, this show is special because it contains a spot of nerdcore rap, entirely at the behest of my friend Ellen. Yep. All her fault. And to be fair, MC Chris and MC Hawking are pretty funny.

Anyway, here's the 'cast.

And, of course, the playlist:

Sprouts - Sensitive Man Senseless Ideas
MC Chris - Fucking Up My Christmas
Libido Grande - Awful
the Spectres - Rubber Room Rock

happy new year!

2008-01-05T14:51:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year! Let's hope 2008 won't be as much of a shattering disappointment as 2007 was. Of course, the Brasserie will continue to chug along at its own glacial pace, and there'll be a new one up in the next couple of days. It'll be a special show dedicated to my friend Ellen, who coerced me into perhaps the most ridiculous theme show of all time. All eyes on the Brasserie in 2008!

18th one!

2007-12-13T20:30:00.000-08:00

See? I told you there was one coming soon. Good thing I didn't define "soon," or else I might be taken to task for neglecting my duties as host of this fine, fine podcast.

If you're into stoner/sludge/dirtweed metal, you can't go wrong with Weedeater's newest, called God Luck and Good Speed. It's amazing, and if you don't like it then by law I'm allowed to hunt you for sport.

Here's the 'cast!

Playlist:

Zero Boys - I'm Bored
B.U.S.H. - Dave Smalley
Gasoline - Radio Flic

weekly schmeekly!

2007-12-03T18:14:00.001-08:00

Yes, there will be a new 'cast this week. And yes, it will be late. As usual. In the meantime, do read "the road to god knows," a work of (as Dave Eggers would say) staggering genius by a good friend of mine, Von Allan. I can speak for his character by noting that he is a Brasserie listener and a Canadian, both of which are signs of taste and good breeding.

17th one!

2007-11-21T20:11:00.000-08:00

Okay, I'm all settled into the new place and things are calm at the moment, so I can resume throwing this thing out into the Internet and seeing what/who it hits. Not much else to report, although I am looking forward to mass quantities of turkey and stuffing tomorrow. Hope everyone else has a lovely Thanksgiving, too.

Also, there's this band called Witchcraft. Do explore.

Here's the podcast!

And the playlist:

a voice from the fog

2007-11-09T22:36:00.000-08:00

I've moved...again...so once I'm all settled the podcast will resume. And it's gonna be a real scorcher, I can guarantee that. In the meantime, fly to Japan and find a reissue of Hubble Bubble's first album. It is amazing. No other word for it. Sprouts are pretty good, too.

16th one! FINALLY

2007-11-01T19:43:00.000-07:00

Yeah yeah, I know. Late again. Hush up, I'm trying to find a new place to live. These things take time. My dog ate it.

Anyway, people in the Baltimore area should come see Antigone at the Baltimore Shakespeare Festival. There's two weekends of it left - Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 5. Ch-check it out at www.baltimoreshakespeare.org. I'm doing sound.

Also, Death Side is an awesome band. Too bad they broke up and never released any albums here.

Here's the latest 'cast.

I'm on top of things this week, so I'm celebrating this all-too-rare occasion with an update! Not much else to report really, except that I enjoy the music of This Is My Fist and so should you. Also, go to Recess Records and buy things.

2007-10-04T19:52:00.000-07:00

See? Told you it would only be a few days. Never doubt me.

Okay fine, so it was significantly longer than a few days. I throw myself upon your mercies. Thankfully, the show is KICKASS this week to make up for it.

Here's the 'cast.

jesus, not this again

2007-09-18T19:46:00.001-07:00

Been busy, sick, and generally in no mood to get out of bed, let alone update a podcast. But it's time to man up, as people way cooler than me have said on countless occasions when the time for bitching gave way to a time for ACTION. So expect a new Brasserie in the next couple of days. And expect it to be awesome.

In the meantime, I picked up Nekromantix' Life Is A Grave And I Dig It not too long ago, and on the whole it's good. Pete Sandorff's guitar and backing vocals can never be replaced, but Troy Destroy (from the Rezurex) does his best to introduce a newer, more rockin' style to the band. And Nekroman is his usual campy self, which plays better on some songs than others (the title track is excellent, "Rot In Hell," well, isn't). But overall, I think it's worth getting, just allow it a few days to grow on you.

13th one!

2007-09-07T22:41:00.000-07:00

Back on the horse we go, with another exciting addition of the Brasserie. And as of last Tuesday (the 4th), I'm 24. Hooray!

Here's the 'cast, and you'd be smart to seek out Double Negative's newest album and buy it immediately. They're kind of a cross between pre-metal CoC and Reagan Youth. That should float anyone's boat, really.

Here's the playlist:

Pitbullfarm - Army of Assholes
Phantom Limbs - From A Distance
Lords of Light - Super Brutalizer
Dynamite Boy - Catching On
Test Pattern - You Make My Heart Beat Faster

Evil Devil - No Roof Over Head
Straitjacket - I'm On Fire
Bitchy - Assimilation
Barnyard Ballers - Cenobites
Strychnine - Hate Finger

Ubangi Stomp - Culture Shock
Alphabet Bombers - 3 o'Clock
Social Circkle - Can't Take It

Mirandas - Do the Blitz

baby's on the way!

2007-08-22T20:45:00.001-07:00

Been on vacation for a while, but I'm back and another Brasserie is on the way! In the interim, learn to play shuffleboard, or eat delicious pie, or something. Or, and here's an actual suggestion, start listening to George Clinton immediately. Motherfucker could lay a beat down.

Also, look into the Nitz. I'll put them in the show sometime soon.

Lay-deez Night!

2007-08-10T21:35:00.000-07:00

Well, shit. All I had to do was replace my power cable and the damned computer runs like the first day I turned it on. So with that in mind, here's a special edition of the Brasserie that's all female singers, all the time! Yes, it's Ladies' Night here on the show, and there's even a snazzy new intro to mark the occasion.

Here it is!

And here's what I played on it:
the Soviettes - Multiply and Divide
Gruk - Inconsiderate
Anna and the Psychomen - You're Nothing But A Stupid Girl
Thee Merry Widows - Cruel Mistress
The Epoxies - Synthesized

Mary Tyler Morphine - Tuff Love
Sweater Kittens - California
Tilt - Libel
Bread and Water - Strength In Numbers
Wrong Day to Quit - Amanda's Song

Hillbilly Moon Explosion - Chick Habit
Berzerker - Traitor
Iowaska - Old Mother Prentice
Dead Things - Holiday Lynn
New York Rel-X - Just Don't Know

Penis Flytrap - Cemetary Girl
I Object - End of the Line
Apes of Wrath - Fish
Speed Crazy - Dance Crazy Baby
Mensen - Sandy Starlight

RSS Feed

slight delay

2007-08-10T12:31:00.000-07:00

Audacity's being lame again and delaying my special "Ladies' Night" edition of the Brasserie. I may just shelve it and work on another show, but I'll see what I can do.

In the meantime, I picked up the Eat reissue and the Epoxies' Stop the Future. Both are excellent and come highly recommended by me, a guy who can't seem to update his damned podcast for more than two consecutive weeks without some major delay. Either way, pick up both albums and commence rocking out.

12th one!

2007-07-22T19:38:00.000-07:00

Ha! It's Sunday and the new podcast is going up! Take THAT, Murphy's law! And speaking of weird things I don't understand, I saw a piece of Otakon yesterday when I met some friends in downtown Baltimore. The locals, it should be noted, do NOT get anime fandom at all, and one of them was heard to remark that "this is some fucked up white people shit." And that person was a Right Thinking American on the subject, if you ask me.

Artscape was this weekend too, so the city was pretty packed - there was even a giant pink Ferris wheel outside the Myerhoff Symphony Hall. Don't see that every day.

Anyway, here's the 'cast.

Playlist:
No Fraud - Failure
Niblick Henbane - Grin And Bear It
the Aftershocks - Alley Cat King
External Menace - We Wanna Know
Dead Kings - Do the Hack

Rhythm Doctors - Wha' Happen?
Self Made Monsters - My Savior

the Neighbors - Soul
Small Town Pimps - Zombie Boy
Typhus - Hong Kong Girl
"Demons" - You Don't Want My Name

things are never easy

2007-07-19T19:10:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I'm back from vacation and I finally have the Internet again. Which of course means that Audacity just had to go all haywire on me, so I have to redownload/install it. I'm like Charlie Brown and his football here. It really never ends. Hopefully I'll get the next podcast up by Sunday, but who knows at this point. Stay tuned though, I will jump this hurdle.

yet another update!

2007-06-29T15:58:00.000-07:00

I'll try to get the 12th podcast up tonight or tomorrow, but there's a good chance it won't happen since I'm going on vacation next week and need to prepare/pack accordingly. So you may have to wait until after July 8th for the next edition of the ol' Brasserie.

In the meantime, the Eat are now officially reissued by Alternative Tentacles. Buy it, you scurvy dogs!

eleventh one!

2007-06-22T10:33:00.000-07:00

Well, so much for Thursday. A few computer issues kept this one a little longer than I'd anticipated, but c'est la vie.

Be sure to check out the newest Tiger Army album, Music From Regions Beyond. They're still trying to be Joy Division more than they try to be Tiger Army, but there are a couple of real sizzlers on this album.

Anyway, enough music I can't play here. On with a bunch of music I CAN play here, i.e. this week's 'cast.

Playlist:
the Challengers - Moon, Send My Baby
Nekronotz - Dead
the Trashies - Let It Be Trashed

Lee Rocker - Rockin' Harder

Bomb the Music Industry - Ready Set No!
Barnyard Ballers - Riding on the Range

RSS Feed

update!

2007-06-19T22:51:00.000-07:00

The 11th Brasserie will be up on Thursday, it looks like. Trying to get a regular sleep schedule going (and that's not going too well, as you might guess from seeing what time this gets posted), and I've been visiting friends and family lately. But it'll be up this week, by Thunder!

In the meantime, check out 7 Inch Punk for some great rarities from yesteryear and today...year? Yeah, that sounds off. Just click the damn link, I'm tired.

tenth one!

2007-06-12T22:51:00.000-07:00

My tenth podcast is here. Not much of a milestone, but at least the number of shows matches the number of subscribers now. Of course, next week the former will surpass the latter. Sigh. I relaunched my wrestling blog recently, too, so June is apparently the month where DK sticks to things. Must be all the pollen keeping me indoors.

Got a job interview tomorrow; imagine, I might just have a full-time job by this point next month. I might have to wear pants every day. This is unprecendented.

Anyway, in lieu of further witticisms, here's this week's podcast, fresh out of Audacity.

Playlist:
the Goddamn Gallows - Everybody Dies
Side Burns - Get Away
Stitches - Cars of Today
the Lost Boys - Dreams (Fly Away)

ninth one!

2007-06-05T13:38:00.000-07:00

Woo hoo! I kept my promise! The ninth podcast is up and running, and I might just get this weekly update thing going yet.

In the meantime, you should order Jellyroll Rockheads' complete discography immediately. It's the most fun, inventive thrash you'll probably ever hear, and it's cheap. Just don't play it around people prone to migraines, or their heads will explode..

Speaking of, here's this week's 'cast.

And here's the playlist:
Government Warning - Trend City
Dead Kennedys - The Man With the Dogs

Hate Is Just A Feeling - Like Wolves
Evil Devil - All Around the World

RSS Feed

update!

2007-06-05T09:23:00.000-07:00

The ninth podcast should be uploaded here by tonight, methinks. I suggest dropping your jaws now to save time, because this show is a real sizzler. I'm still working out kinks in my schedule, but I'll be back to something regular pretty soon. How often have I said that here? Oh well.

In the meantime, read this essay I wrote about professional wrestling. It sort of sloughed off from my senior seminar paper and became something apparently publishable. And it's nice to be able to tell other wrestling fans that I'm a published author on the subject, if only because it makes my angry smarking sound more important.

eighth one!

2007-05-18T16:26:00.000-07:00

FINALLY.

Jesus, was this one a long time in coming, but my schedule cleared up a little today, so I got a chance to put up a new Brasserie. Still not sure what my new address will be, but hopefully that will all get sorted out next week. Of course, I've been saying that for a while now, but hopefully the fates will align in my favor for goddamned once.

Anyway, enough of that crap. Here's the podcast.

And the playlist:

Dillinger Four - Noble Stabbings
Subhumans (Canada) - Mindless Tough Guy Act

New Bomb Turks - Constance Keane
ANTiSEEN - Fuck All Y'all

another update!

2007-05-13T21:58:00.000-07:00

Moving sucks. Or rather, getting cheated by people you were going to move in with sucks. Hence the lack of podcast. It's done, I just need the time to upload and post it, and since there are only 24 hours in a day, I haven't yet. But I will. Courage!

update!

2007-05-06T16:41:00.000-07:00

Eighth podcast is coming, I swear. But the recent move and work have delayed it for a bit. It'll be up this week, and hopefully the normal schedule will resume afterwards.

seventh one!

2007-04-21T23:18:00.000-07:00

And the beat goes on, in the words of a band I sadly lack the rights/permission to play (the Screamers, in case you care). Sorry this one's up late, but it's been a busy week, what with preparing to move and all. Still not sure where I'm headed, but the list is narrowing down ever so slowly.

Very stoked about Alternative Tentacles reissuing the Eat, which I found out about after I decided to include them on the show. It's cool that AT is putting out some of these "Killed By Death" bands that would be lost to time otherwise, and a worthwhile endeavor as long as they don't overdo it. But given Jello Biafra's perpetual disdain for nostalgia, I don't think that'll happen.

Anydangways, here's this week's cast.

And the playlist:
Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies - Ghost Riders In the Sky
the Legendary Two Man Trio - Platinum High
Cowboy Killers - Wake Up
the Beat Machine - TV War
Dirty Tactics - Moving Out and Moving On

the Eat - Jimmy B. Good

Electric Eel Shock - My Tiger
Speed Crazy - Psycho

Boozehounds - My Brain Hurts
Ubangi Stomp - Jinxed

Victim - Hang On To Yourself
Gorilla - Too Much for Your Heart
Love Machine - David Comes to Life
Swingin' Utters - Next In Line
Hillbilly Moon Explosion - Fish Outta Water

sixth one!

2007-04-12T21:25:00.000-07:00

Man, am I glad I discovered vocal beds. They make the vocal portions of the show much easier to listen to, and finding stuff to play in the background is kinda fun. Gives me a chance to use stuff I otherwise wouldn't have a spot for.

Do you guys read Questionable Content? You should.

Here's this week's 'cast.

And here's the corresponding playlist:

fifth one!

2007-04-04T23:30:00.000-07:00

Man, it's nice to be able to upload all this stuff myself thanks to Filenanny, brought to my attention by one John Rudy. I'm also indebted to Fat Wreck Chords, who gave me permission to play as much of their stuff as my little heart desires. That frees up a good portion of my CD collection for broadcast here, so a big thanks to them.

There's also a DK's Brasserie Facebook group, so join it if you feel so inclined.

With that said, here's the 'cast.

And here's the playlist:

fourth one!

Hello, all. Apologies for my voice this time around, but I'm stricken with some allergy or another and am completely stopped up as a result. Bear with me and my unbearably nasal enunciation, especially since I don't talk as much this time anyway.

Here's this week's 'cast, and if anyone knows someplace where I can upload future podcasts for free, email me (kiefda03 at gmail.com). I could use one, since my current servermeister graduates this year and thereby loses his college upload space.

The Rev. Horton Heat kicks ass by the way, and if he comes sniffing around your back stairs, go and listen to him play. He's amazing.

Playlist:
Phantom Limbs - Hot Knives and Hornets
Small Town Pimps - Sick and Twisted
Sour Kids - Holden Caulfield Wouldn't Like You
Million Dollar Marxists - Bricklayer
Jem Crossland and the Hypertonics - Pretty Kitty

the Tossers - First League Out from Land
the Escaped - Lost
Starlite Wranglers - I Was Born to Be A Gambler
Nog Watt - Fear
the Brethren - Little Green Monster

Neale and the Fauns - Get Out of My Way
Boy Kicks Girl - For Better or Worse
Thee Merry Widows - The Curse
Barnyard Ballers - Porno Slut
Pink Swords - Crybaby

Shakeout - Walkin' A Fine Line
Media Circus - Hipster Holocaust
Burning Image - The Lower Walks
Neos - Destruct
the Fairgreen Trio - Window Shopping With A Brick

third one!

Woohoo! The third installment of the Brasserie arrives after a lengthy hiatus due to work and not having webhosting for a while there. But I am a faithful lapdog of my listeners, if they exist, and shall bring forth musics to entertain them forthwith!

...ya know, I'm never exactly sure what to say in the actual posts here. I think the show and the music really speak for themselves, and I don't have anything terribly relevant to add here, except to add that this show isn't meant as a trashing of the American Hardcore book or DVD. I liked and recommend both as vital histories of the music and as resources for bands you don't hear much about anymore.
I just hate it when bands of a certain era pause from their ceaseless bickering over who invented what (which I also hate) to shit on the new generation of bands in their genre because dammit, THEY invented it and it should have died with them, ostensibly because it would have made them look cool and iconic instead of like a circlejerk (no pun intended) of bitter has-beens living off their past glory. Punk and hardcore shouldn't die just because they decided not to play it anymore, and it's kind of sad to see these guys pat themselves on the back for inspiring each other and then turn around and disparage newer bands just because a) they inspired something they didn't expect or b) they can't keep up with the kids. Or c) they think the only thing going in hardcore now is the boring, metal-in-girl-pants stuff that Alternative Press calls hardcore. In which case, they're dead wrong.

Wow, turns out I did know what to say. Sort of. Here's the podcast.

Satan's Rejects - Pistol In My Hand
Dead Things - Education Breakdown
Klingonz - I'm Old (But I Used to Be Young)

first one!

Holy crap, my first podcast. I feel so fragile. So vulnerable. So unable to come up with any more witty remarks on the subject. So I won't. Instead, I'll shut my e-yap (or is it iYap these days?) and let people enjoy the first of what I hope will be many editions of DK's Brasserie.

Oh, and if you're in a band and you hear yourself against your wishes, or if you run a label and hear one of your bands against your wishes, let me know and I won't play the offending material any more. I'm not trying to rip anyone off or get sued; all I want to do is play music I like for whoever seeks it out.

With that said, here you go.

And here's the playlist:

Strange Days - C.R.E.A.M.
Class Assassins - Uprise
Mad Masato - Sakura
"Demons" - Blackballed
Murder Suicide Pact - I'm Not Cleaning Up This Mess
