Teeth "The Strain"

There's a super touching story that goes along with this album in case anyone wants to check it out: http://www.electricalaudio.com/johngrabski.html

Part of us wants to just completely ignore that story (as amazing as it is) and let this album stand on its own.. And from the sound of it, the guys who put it together would be quite alright with that... This will prolly end up in our best of the year:

nicki lays it down

"Careful With That Axe Eugene" & "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun"

Wait for it...

Blogger Stats revealed: The 5 most important things ever on Taste My Kids

Huge revelations today...

As we get used to blogger/blogspot's new format, we've discovered our new favorite part of this upgrade: Blogger Stats. Thanks to this handy feature, we now understand more about trends and random Googlers finding their way to some unexpected areas of this website. And with assistance from blogger stats, the 5 most important "Taste My Kids" moments of all time have been revealed...........

#5, January 9, 2012: TMK posts a bummer video song from Pill and got more bummed about having to wait longer for the album
http://tastemykidsblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-post-new-music-new-clothes-new.html

Pill fans couldn't believe what they were seeing as Pill unveils the "New Clothes New Shoes" video. Things just haven't been the same ever since.

#4, February 1, 2010: We googled "Jersey Shore gifs" and posted a bunch of them
http://tastemykidsblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post.html

Apparently Taste My Kids contains one of the finest, the most fabulous and most complete collections of Jersey Shore Season 1 gifs.

#3, January 17, 2011: The Bieber-Lil Wayne hybrid thing.
http://tastemykidsblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/20-worst-songs-of-2010.html

We actually got excited for a second, at the idea that maybe, just possibly, people actually thought one of our best posts ever was actually interesting or funny. But instead, google stats reveal the large amount of pageviews for "The Worst Songs of 2010" is mostly from people who wanted to see Weezey/Bieb and not because people enjoyed anything we had to say. (Also cracks are beginning to form in our archives as many of the pictures we lazily embedded have been taken down.. Also, Soundcloud changed their embed formatting recently, so both "2010's Greatest Hits" and "Hot Mix 2011" look a lot more awkward and ugly than they did a few months ago...)

#2, July 26, 2010: Chicks who want to bone Aphex Twin googled for him and got us

#1, December 1, 2010: We posted a picture of someone who isn't Earl Sweatshirt
http://tastemykidsblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/no-age-japandroids-earl-sweatshirt.html

3,038 pageviews from Googlers wondering where Earl disappeared to. Some of our most important work, clearly. Thanks for the support.

"Pain Cave"

totally forgot this existed.... Now watching this for the first time in (probably) over 10 years... realizing every last nuance is still firmly brain-stuck, and that some of those little nuances were a result of crude edits...

"Leave My Kitten Alone"

new wet hair video: "Echo Lady"

This is actually from a few weeks ago but we found it on Wet Hair's facebook page today... A few of our bros in Speedy Ortiz got us into this stuff.. it would have fit just as well on the Late Night Noise blog, but Wet Hair is kinda super-awesome so we posted it here instead...

new Yuck: "Chew"

Terminator 2

"I'm A Body"

This will receive the "new music" tag even though the video is from 10 months ago... Kinda bummed this missed the deadline for "Sick Vids Brah 2011," as we would have much rather included this than that stupid Rihanna video that was essentially just her starring in an episode of the MTV show Skins with "We found love in a hopeless place" playing over it...

This video is way better. It has puppies!!

new single from The Darkness

This actually (silently) showed up 2 months ago and we had no idea until just now... Their first post-hiatus single... Predictably and unfortunately sounds less exciting than the b-sides off their 1st LP 9 years ago... But in either case, we're happy they're back to making music again.
