moving!

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!

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

Black Panda - Ruedas de Fuego
Non Compos Mentis - Twist the Blade

20th One!

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!

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!

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
the Mentally Ill - Tumor Boy

happy new year!

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!

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!

Gasoline - Radio Flic

weekly schmeekly!

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!

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:
Battle of Ninjamanz - Lady Luck
Cult Ritual - Bitter
the Tossers - the Crutch

a voice from the fog

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

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.

jesus, not this again

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!

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
Fleshies - Gay Holiday
Earth Died Screaming - Banners of Death

Mirandas - Do the Blitz
Nomads - Let's Go to the Dragstrip
Gorilla - Csavargo
Cobra - Worrier's Rock
Levi Murphy - Bad Bad Baby

baby's on the way!

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!

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

slight delay

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!

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?

things are never easy

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.
