“To every glassy-eyed teenage runaway; to every pot-smoking trust fund baby in search of ‘the authentic’; to every sweaty, dreadlocked, patchouli-wearing, unemployed bassist with an underfed pit-bull and vicious body odor-we want to say to you: come home.”

OXES are an instrumental band, coming from Baltimore, Maryland who play loud, frantic, tasty riffs.  Some people call them Post Punk but I think this description falls a bit flat.  Imagine The Melvins decided to take themselves a little less seriously, showed up to your party, got a 26 of whiskey in, hit on your sister, and then jumped on the kitchen table and woo-ed all the ladies by busting out sweet metal riffs, you could describe their sound like that, but thats only one half of the puzzle. OXES are renowned for their silly and usually insane live show, from having their guitarists tower over the audience by standing on large, black boxes to incorporating a one-act play into their live set, OXES are probably a band you wanna check out.

OXES – Boss Kitty

OXES – Kaz Hayashi ‘oi

We’ve been so busy making a tasty record for everyone to enjoy. keep updated here.

Quick update, Jay Reatard has passed on as of 3:30 am yesterday morning. Reatard was a well respected garage punk from Memphis who played and lived fast. Despite quite the mean streak and a reputation for controversial outbursts Jay was a huge inspiration or me personally in the music that I play and I am deeply saddened by this loss. As facts start to surface Jay will either become a legend, or fearfully the punch line to the end of a cruel joke. Either way I will always respect him for all that he’s done. May his true eulogy be whiskey stained and set aflame.

Ok, so winter is actually kinda shitty. I wake up in the morning and it’s dark, and guess what it is when I leave work? That’s right, dark. At 5:00. Bullshit. And it’s all rainy and dreary outside, which makes me feel even worse about  failing on my New Years resolutions. And I have to wear a jacket, like, all the time. Sorry Winter, but you suck. You make me sad. Almost as sad as when I have to go to work. If my job and Winter had a baby together it would probably look a lot like Hitler.

With all the Michael Jackson nostalgia circulating through the media and social landscapes these days, I thought that I would ad my own little tidbit. This is the real deal. In 1989/90 U.S. Gold and Sega released the Michael Jackson video game, “Moonwalker”, to coincide with the release of his movie by the same name. I remember playing this game at Chucky Cheese when I was a kid and as I recall it was quite a fun game. At the time it was just awesome, now it seems a bit creepy and weird, and a little more awesome. (more…)

I’m often guilty of shameless self promotion, though I’ve tried my best to keep it out of my writings here on bluegrassish.com. However tonight is going to be something really special and I’d just like to let all our Vancouverite friends out there know that 3 of our writers including myself will be preforming at Smileys at 911 W Pender st. around 10pm tonight! It is our debut show as Eeek! and we are super stoked on all our new material so if you liked us before as Wild Palmss or maybe never saw us, now is the time to do so! We will be preforming along side the Vancouver band Kick Evrything and from Philadelphia; Grandchildren. Grandchildren are a super slick AnCo inspired band with pretty bleeps and bloops and soaring vocal harmonies, I’m excited to say the least! So if you feel the need to come hang out with us, maybe do a little two-step while we play! Also, we can probably get you on guest list so if you want that shit, drop us a line in the comments section!

Grandchildren – Saturn Returns

Grandchildren – Cold Warrior

Add one chicken egg, one crazy and determined paleontologist, and some real life Jurassic Park science, and there you have it.

John “Jack” Horner has a vision.  When he walks into of one of his classes to give a lecture, instead of carrying a projector or some field notes, he wants to walk in with  a live dinosaur.  His own creation, hatched in his lab from a bird egg.  “It’s small, but bigger than a chicken,” he writes in his new book, How to Build a Dinosaur. “Let’s say the size of a turkey, one day maybe even the size of an emu.” The emu-size dinosaur, he adds, “might have a muzzle or a couple of handlers.”

Sound familiar? Horner was the scientific adviser for the Jurassic Park films. The difference is that unlike in the film, Horner doesn’t need Dino DNA to recreate the reptiles. Which is good, because dinosaur DNA has never been recovered from any source. Horner is working on genetically ‘tweaking’ bird DNA to activate genes that have been dormant due to evolution. and since the birds are direct descendants from dinosaurs, it wont be long before Horner completes his mission. He guesses he will have hatched  his first dinosaur within the next 5 years.

Read a more detailed article HERE.

I don’t think I have ever been more excited for anything. This could go a few different ways: the dinosaur hatches and it’s a huge step for the scientific community, and helps students in paleontology better understand a dino’s life. Alternativley, it could be a recreation of Jurassic Park, and we will all be eaten alive. What I’m afraid of, is that every creationist’s head will explode from trying to religiously explain away the  hidden dino genes in a chicken. Big mess. Either way, I’m still excited.
