::Duck & Cover Wants You! (or at least your pretty words.)::

Duck & Cover is officially soliciting YOU, our readers, to contribute to our content, and have something of a hand in shaping the future of D&C. (Well, perhaps not "shape the future" so much as have the privilege of knowing us "back when", either way, cred such as that is beoming harder and harder to come by these days.)

We would love to see record reviews, show reviews, vile gossip (we LOVE vile/salacious gossip, however, only on the grounds that it may be substantiated. No slander/libel please), book reviews, live music photography, and etc. (As a side note, we would very much appreciate at least ONE photo to accompany live music reviews -- worst case scenario, a shot of the venue, night of the show would suffice, OR, get creative. We love creativity, but remember, creativity stops being clever when it is not RELEVANT; we cannot stress focus enough, really.) We can't promise that we will print/publish everything that we receive, but we will definitely look at it and mull it over, perhaps while enjoying our morning coffee.

Additionally, submission to D&C includes implied consent that we may edit your submission for content or length, but, should significant rewrites be necessary, we will return it to you for such. So, assuming that you've not been turned off by such self important posturing, then you are probably ("possibly" would sound a bit cold, now, wouldn't it?) Duck & Cover material, and we would love to see what you have to say.

We are opening the editorial floodgates, so to speak, and encouraging all interested parties to send their submissions to duckandcovermusic@gmail.com.

Oh, and one last thing? We're terribly sorry, but we'll not be able to pay you. We thought that was inferred, but then decided that we should be a tidge more clear on that point. So no. No payment, just the glory of participating in the great populist movement of "New Media." Huzzah!

Celebrate Halloween with Peter Squires's New Video, "Witch"

By
I don't usually do festive or holiday posts. In fact, the closest I get is writing some kind of seasonal bent against a track, and only then when I've had too much coffee and can't find any relation to a song other than what the weather is doing. I just think holiday-themed posts / articles are lazy. But Halloween is different. Why? Because Halloween, to paraphrase Wesley Willis, whips a horse's ass. So when Ryan from The Musebox put me on to Peter Squires a few days ago, I knew it was going into the annals of Duck & Cover (that's right, I said "annals" on the Internets). From the Press Release: Peter’s direct and honest vocal delivery is reminiscent of contemporaries such as Kimya Dawson and Luke Temple. The album is all heart, laid bare for our aural pleasure. Woe Is Me was recorded in Peter Squires’ Brooklyn bedroom and is available on his website for fans to download at no charge. The first video from the album is “Witch” and it was just rele...

The Pogues + The Dubliners = St. Patrick's Rovers

By
In celebration of St. Patrick's day, and because I spent a good deal of time living on Ireland's west coast (if you can call Limerick a coast), here's an old video of The Pogues and The Dubliners singing "Irish Rover." I love the fact that Shane MacGowan is puffing away at a rollie on stage--and I'm pretty sure it's not water in that styrofoam cup. This video reminds me of a musician I palled around with during my stint in stab city. A mesmerizing performer, Damo would often celebrate the fact he scored a gig before the gig itself. When it was time for him to go on, he would be completely trollied; too drunk for his own performance (which, if you knew Damo, you would concede is no small feat). Damn, I miss those guys.

Lucero Video for "Darken My Door"

By
Darken My Door from Lucero on Vimeo . It's good to see that a serious band doesn't have to take itself seriously. Even better when a band's fans don't take them too seriously. "Darken My Door" off of Lucero's latest album, 1372 Overton Park , is a song about losing stuff--girlfriend, money, dignity. In fact, a lot of Lucero's songs are like that, but I'm not getting into that now. I'm talking about the video, which has so much to love. Obviously, I love the fact director Alex Mecum has used a puppet as the protagonist. But it's what the puppet does that makes this video so much fun. Puppet eating chili dogs, puppet drinking whiskey, puppet giving blow jobs . . . Hell, there's even puppet vomit! It's ridiculous, yes, but also tragic. By the end of the video, if you don't feel a little sorry for the scruffy faced whore puppet, then you have no soul. Here's a little more about the videos for Lucero's new album: To promot...
