Howdy! It's the New Duck and Cover Music!

By

Don't mind the ass. It was just the first thing that popped up when I Googled "howdy".


After over a year bringing you the most opinionated, poorly researched, and gushing reviews on the internet, Duck and Cover Music finally shuffled off the maternal shackles of a blog template. For the past few weeks I've worked on some new graphics and CSS to give D&C a more distinguished look. Want the tour? Of course you do.


You'll find we've added a section just for videos. At the moment, it's a bit bare. We opted against moving all the video posts over because of the sheer number of you (we have literally tens of readers) who might possibly have bookmarked any one of our numerous video posts. So give it a few weeks.


We wanted you to know about what we do when we're not blogging (not counting drinking, video games, and porn), so beneath the video link are two links to our other online entities: Last.FM and MOG.


The observant members of our audience will also notice that we've devoted a column to advertising. Before you shout "Judas!", hear me out. Dakin and I have been "the boys at Duck and Cover" for over a year, and quite frankly, we're a bit hungry. So be a good sport.


Finally, you can now DIGG Duck and Cover blog posts with ease. Simply click "submit" on the DIGG button, and viola! You're off. The more you DIGG us, the more friends we have. And the more friends we have, the more we can pretend to know what we're talking about.


So, what do you think? Like it? Hate it? Want more music? Just let us know. Please. Seriously. Talk to us. We're lonely.

The Racoon Wedding :: Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth

Download The Paper Boy from The Racoon Wedding's album, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth Sounds Like : they're gonna rip your ribcage out and find your heart RIYL : White Rabbits, Portugal. The Man, Fanfarlo, Rolling Stones ala Beggar's Banquet From the Press Release : Forming from the ashes of Vermicious Knid, and authoring songs in the basement of the all ages not-for-profit art space they own in a nook of the city’s forgotten downtown, frontman Tim Ford and company boast a sense of loyalty to their community that few other bands share. On their debut LP, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth , issued this October via their own Ford Plant Recordings Co., the band enlisted the help of engineer Leon Taheny (of the Final Fantasy recording credit) and hammered out a record that teems with the spirit of long-forgotten roots music. It’s indebted to the history of mighty back porch music: unbridled, unedited, beautifully intense.

May Day Is Lei Day

By
For the past 31 years in Honolulu, the Brothers Cazimero have hosted an annual May Day variety show at the Waikiki Shell Ampitheatre (because May Day is Lei Day!). When living there, I had the privilege of attending twice, the last time being the 30th anniversary, and just after the sad passing of the legendary Don Ho. Both times were, at the risk of allowing my cynical mask slip, magical. The May Day show is great fun, and follows the format of an old time variety show -- there is an aura of glamour interspersed with a decidedly camp sensibility, with hula stars of past and present gracing the stage. Spirits are high, and the banter among the performers is priceless; at times it feels as though you've wandered into a family reunion, and are a long lost cousin -- instantly at home and enveloped in the warmth. It's a time to celebrate the spirit and culture that truly do make the islands such a special place. There's a song that plays before the Sunset On The Beach movies...
