Oh and just to say if people think I was mocking Jerkatorium by adding a verse about circle jerking in kevlar armour, well I was ; but only in an admiring, appreciative, playful way. Actually, I had written those new words as part of a lyric for the fight but had not managed to do anything with the...

I've been shirking this whole review thing for a while, so I guess it's my turn to dive in first this week. A lot of great entries this time around. In no particular order (i.e. the order randomized for me on the front page): Cory A.G.: Slick G&G. Sweet song with utterly beautiful singing. Why does ...

Praying Mantis by Jerkatorium Golden oldies: Mother told me Someday I’d meet girls like you, But that warning’s Just one more thing Mothers always tend to do. And how can I resist your charms? It’s like I’m all wrapped up in six strong arms. Every friend Says this will end In such an awful, messy w...

Thank you jb, you were absolutely right to do that. None of us should have to be subjected to offensive idiot nonsense posted amid these earnest personal attestations. I'm surprised you put up with as much as you did. I'm surprised that this double-whammy racist/homophobic gem didn't get him banned ...

I didn't want to say anything but my OCD is murdering me: The cover art by 'happy triangle' is misspelled. This wouldn't bug me all that much - I think the sunset/lightbulb thing is really clever and it looks so cool that it totally makes up for the typo - but the Art Archive page has another submis...

Back in the early 90s Zoom DJ'ed the wedding reception for a friend, and the first song he played was Don Dixon's "Praying Mantis". He meant well, it was all done in good fun, but it was still (arguably) a little tacky. On the other hand, it was memorable (I guess it's the only thing I remember abou...

Jeff Rosenstock I haven't felt this way about anything new I've heard since almost forever. I've been listening to his music nonstop since I first heard it a few weeks ago, and I am angry that nobody turned me on to this music earlier. Jeff Rosenstock's stuff is what I think music is supposed to sou...

They Might Be Giants Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head, no question about it.


Closely followed by almost every Pixies song.

My goal with this is to make the process of listening to the music as hassle-free as possible. I like the idea of a USB stick because it's so easy (you don't need to type in a URL or rip a CD in order to get the mp3s), but one of my friends mentioned he'd never accept a USB from anyone for fear of g...

anybody know where to get cheap USB sticks? AliExpress has them for about $2 at the lowest price for the highest volume. It would be a great solution, but that price point is just not feasible for most DIY music. The best deal I've found so far is $6.73 (free shipping) for a 5-pack of 64MB flash dr...

What is the best way to manually distribute music these days? These days I get most of my music through Bandcamp or directly from any given artist's website (also iTunes when I get a gift card from a well-meaning relative), and I imagine that a lot of us do the same or similar. But if I run into som...

Some bands have a pic or logo on their archive page, and some don't. I looked around for a way to add the Jerkatorium logo to our archive page and couldn't figure it out. How do we do that?




[Sorry in advance if this is already posted elsewhere and I just couldn't find it.]

[quote="Caravan Ray"]But I'll still be "Poopbutt", right?[/quote] When Jerkatorium wins that fight, the ranks will all be Sex and the City girls, and I'm sorry CRay but you are such a Miranda. Sorry just kidding. I actually have no idea what I'm talking about and we would never do that anyway.

Chumpy and I are joining as Jerkatorium.

Hey, how about starting a new thread for OFCF 2016?

Bump. Just a reminder that the Bowie covers are due in a little over a week.

Also I just realized that Sunday is the 7th and Monday is the 8th, so the deadline is actually Monday, February 8, 2016.

I just wanted to mention that I am eager to listen to these songs. Easy for me to say, considering I don't have to do any of the legwork, but still: c'mon, gimme gimme gimme.

So few reviews - must be a busy week for everyone. Anywhooo... Beat Senseless - Fun bassline and beat. I can't tell if the tune of the vocal melody is supposed to have any relation to the music, but I guess it doesn't really need to. Mangles - Well balanced, well performed and well produced, and som...

Jerkatorium is working on "Suffragette City". But that doesn't mean that nobody else should do it.

I'm sure that's fine. I like the idea of having a lot of variety, but I know that some chose the same songs for the Ramones and Talking Heads tributes and that was good.

Okay it's happening.
