Packy - Head Llama

Well, the day finally came. It took nearly a year of blogging about music, movies, entertainment, other creative endeavors and whatnot, but it’s here and as such I will deal with it head on. Today is the day that I will evangelize the music of  ol’ Papa Nez – Michael Nesmith his own self, and convert you all to his flock. So get ready to testify, because this is one southern rocker space cowboy that is a cut above the rest. The elephant in the room: Yes, this is the…

Twenty Tunes Terrific for Tuesday – Vol. 7 #120Minutes #TTTT #Bonus

Packy - Head Llama

  I watched a lot of TV in the late 80s and early 90s, but perhaps none more religiously than the MTV late night video series: 120 Minutes. Created by Dave Kendall, 120 Minutes was a 2 hour show that was designed to showcase alternative music at a time when many of the artists featured were struggling to find an audience. Whereas mainline MTV was showing mostly top 40 pop hit music videos (yes there exists a time in history when MTV actually showed music videos the majority of the day),…

Ten Terrific Tunes for Tuesday – Vol. 6 #Punk #TTTT

Packy - Head Llama

Oi! It’s time to challenge the system and to declare ourselves rude in front of everyone… essentially, it’s a punk/ska mix. So, dig it… or don’t, if you are really feeling punk rock. As always, here’s the Apple Music link: in case you wanna take this punk/ska mix on the run. NOFX – Separation of Church and Skate: in which the band asks the question, when did punk rock become so safe? Short answer, when students and professors on all major college campuses decided that political correctness was more important than free…

Ten Terrific Tunes for Tuesday – Vol. 5 #Halloween #TTTT You had to figure that I’d put a Halloween mix out there, and boy howdy is this one a doozy. Old and new intertwined, with a few familiar cuts and a few obscure diamonds in the rough. I have never really gotten heavily involved in Halloween. Whether it be dressing up in a fancy costume or going to big Halloween parties, I have done so quite minimally over the last 38 years. I do, however; love a bit of macabre…

Now in Apple Music playlist form as well: Listen to TTTT Vol 4 – Hip Hop by Packy on @AppleMusic Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five – It’s Nasty (Genius of Love). A classic track with fantastic samples and super tight rhymes – this is the definition of Old School. This track, and a…

Packy - Head Llama

This Tuesday has been good and all, but it’s missing some choice tunes, man! Instead of finding some amazing original tracks, I thought I would mix it up a bit and give you a few choice cover tracks to jam to. I know, most cover songs suck, but I can guarantee you that this list is legitimately awesome! Some are close representations of their original rendition, and others are wild interpretations, all of them are worth a moment of your auditory time. Enjoy! Foo Fighters – Baker Street. A modern…
