Version City Podcast is back!

I don't follow very many podcasts, but for a little while i made sure i had every podcast ever on my iPod. Version City is the brainchild of King Django aka Jeff Baker, the mastermind behind Stubborn Records and about 80 other bands. Maybe it's not 80 bands, but i cannot remember the last time i have not had at least 1 track in my iPod (or in my CD player back in the old days) with Django on it in some fashion. If you've listened to any ska/reggae from the the East Coast/NYC in the last 20 years, you're probably already familiar with some of his various incarnations. Skinnerbox, Stubborn All-Stars, The Slackers (in the early days), The Scrucialists, and even solo work in various jazz, klezmer, rock, reggae, and even country/tin-pan alley tunes.

Sadly, the Versin City Podcast left for over a year. Django is back with a new episode with special guest from Inspecter 7/Hub City Stompers, Travis Nelson. It says it's only part one, so i hope a 2nd episode isn't too far off.

If you've never heard the Version CityPodcast, please check it out. It's free and worth checking out. Subscribe today!

Big respect to King Django! I'm a fan for life.

Let's see if i can post something

Just to see if i can post pictures and whatnot. This is my wife and a mud-pie. Pretty sure our daughter will look very similar to this photo in a few years.

I've decided that i want to be able to post anything i want here aside from bootlegs. In between digital releases I'll post random musings and possibly artist/song reviews, location reviews, venue reviews, etc. and mostly with a music flair and perhaps a theme song to go with it. I might even go all 80s and make some "mix-tapes" to share.

What would YOU like to see here? Hint: Not my dick.

Oh, you wanted music? Hmmm...

How about this long out of print gem by The Dambuilders called "God Dambuilders Bless America". This was the entirety of the "50 songs for 50 states" project that the band was doing and never quite finished. The band is broken up and each member is busy with other projects. Good luck getting a reissue on this one. Wilfully Obscure (another blog that i love) will be hosting it shortly, but i thought I'd sneak and be the first.

And of course, if anything here belongs to you and you want it down, email me and let me know. I'll remove it right away. 

Welcome to The House Of Pants!

I will use this spot to post some of my bootlegs. I will do my best to not upload/share something commercially available. If you want it down, email me or message me and it's down.

What's to come?

stuff i recorded myself...
Dramarama/John Easdale
Gigolo Aunts
The Anniversary
Ken Stringfellow
The Posies
Teenage Fanclub

I'll also post up some way out of print stuff that will likely NEVER see the light of day again. Let's see where this goes, eh?
