Death Threat Cassette – Clean Meat Never Fattened a Pig
Jason’s Jukebox is kicking of 2023’s reviews with an old favorite – England’s Death Threat Cassette. A DIY homespun “group” that is one of my all-time favorites, for the last decade or so. Lee Pecqueur is the genius behind DTC and his quality control is impeccable....
Conduit of Humanity – Siren Songs From Another World
I’ve been following Fred Jeske’s various music projects for many years now. Might not be a household name – but he should be. I’ve long admired his (and his band members) ability to weave indie, progressive, and power pop into a mix that is at once unexpected and yet...

Ozzy Osbourne – Dreamer
Attack of the Killer Track! is a series that explores tracks from artists from a variety of genres. Some of the tracks were singles, some of them were obscure b-sides or long forgotten album tracks. One thing is certain – all of them are killer tracks. In the wake of...
Jenn Vix – Strange Buildings
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to talk with John Ashton, formerly of The Psychedelic Furs about his new project, Satellite Paradiso. The band's debut album showed Mr. Ashton & company moving on from the shadow of the 'Furs, forging their own unique...
Ummagma – Frequency
Ummagma hail from Peterborough, Ontario - about 80 miles northeast of Toronto. The town's nickname is "The Electric City" because it was the 1st town in all of Canada to use electric streetlights. In the present day, the town is where technology & manufacturing...
The Lovely Intangibles – Tomorrow Is Never
I once read on the world wide web's preeminent authority on all things in life - Wikipedia - that film noir is "a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly such that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations." The...
Coldplay – A Rush Of Blood To The Head
Attack of the Killer Track! is a series that explores tracks from artists from a variety of genres. Some of the tracks were singles, some of them were obscure b-sides or long forgotten album tracks. One thing is certain – all of them are killer tracks. In late 2000 I...
Ride – I Don’t Know Where It Comes From
Attack of the Killer Track! is a series that explores tracks from artists from a variety of genres. Some of the tracks were singles, some of them were obscure b-sides or long forgotten album tracks. One thing is certain – all of them are killer tracks. The mid 90's...
George Strait – I Hate Everything
Mainstream country music isn't a genre that I know in-depth - the only exception being Johnny Cash. And I really didn't come on board with The Man in Black until his Rick Rubin years, which appealed to geeky hipsters everywhere. Anyway, years ago I was driving home...
Jewel – Picking Up The Pieces
In the mid 90's I'd often buy a CD based on a gut feeling or based on the cover art. It wasn't an exact science, but in early 1995 I picked up the debut album by Jewel called Pieces Of You. Hipster alert - that was a full 18 months before the album started to become a...
Lana Del Rey – Honeymoon
I recently finished Kim Gordon's memoir detailing her time in Sonic Youth along with the intimate details of her breakup with husband (and fellow Sonic Youth member), Thurston Moore. I mostly enjoyed the book, but I had to laugh - she spent a few sentences bashing...
Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz
I honestly never thought I'd ever review - much less listen to - a record by Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana fame. In fact, the fake hipster and indie elitist inside of me still can't quite come to terms with this turn of events. At any rate - long story short: TV / pop...
Mercury Rev – Goddess On A Hiway
Attack of the Killer Track! is a series that explores tracks from artists from a variety of genres. Some of the tracks were singles, some of them were obscure b-sides or long forgotten album tracks. One thing is certain – all of them are killer tracks. The September...
Motörhead – Bad Magic
There's really only one band in my mind that has successfully bridged the gap between punk and heavy metal. Of course I'm talking about Justin Timberlake's favorite band, Motörhead. Formed in the wake of Lemmy Kilmister's ouster from space rockers Hawkwind, the band...
The Stooges – I Wanna Be Your Dog
Attack of the Killer Track! is a series that explores tracks from artists from a variety of genres. Some of the tracks were singles, some of them were obscure b-sides or long forgotten album tracks. One thing is certain – all of them are killer tracks. Truth be told -...
The Red-Sided Garter Snakes – Endless Sea
The Chameleons out of Manchester, UK have long been 1 of my favorite post punk groups (that strange music created in the aftermath of the 1st wave of punk). Kind of a loaded statement, but I'll make myself clear - when I'm talking about The Chameleons I am including...
Smashing Pumpkins – Today
Attack of the Killer Track! is a series that explores tracks from artists from a variety of genres. Some of the tracks were singles, some of them were obscure b-sides or long forgotten album tracks. One thing is certain – all of them are killer tracks. The early 90's...
