Trailer for The Runaways

I'm not a huge fan of Kristen Stewart but I think her representatives have done a great job of getting her in the right roles. As long as she plays an angsty young girl then she's all set. When I read that she would be playing Joan Jett in the new movie about The Runaways I wanted to call the movie execs up and congratulate them on a great choice. Maybe I'll be wrong but for now I'm pretty psyched about this movie...

Noise Complaint Holiday Special 2009

The holiday special is my second favorite show to do every year (My favorite being the most anticipated releases show at the beginning of the year). I love taking a look back at some of the classic songs that we only get to check out for about a month each year. At least for me it's only a month. I refuse to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

I dug up some new songs this year and squeezed them in. I'm pretty pleased with the show this year but there was a video I wanted to share with you. This is the video for Merry Swiftmas written by Evan Taubenfeld. I think it's a pretty catchy and creative song.



Also just for fun you could check out the video for Billy Mack's Christmas Is All Around. Unfortunately I can't embed that video on the blog so here's the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c63YWSkJZc

Noise Complaint Best Of 2009 Playlist 12/14/09

I hate this show every year. I'll get more into that in a second. First, I find it interesting that it took me until the 13th of December to see my favorite show of the year. I went to the Ottobar in Baltimore last night to catch New Found Glory and Dashboard Confessional. I was surprised at how old the crowd was. It was mostly mid to late 20 somethings which is something I'm not used to at this kind of show but I suppose as the bands have aged, so have their fans. The exciting thing about this show is that it was an all acoustic show. I've never seen NFG do an all acoustic set before and I have to admit, they killed it. It was fun to watch their singer, Jordan, try to hold himself back from jumping into the crowd though. Their shows are usually so energetic and intense but they had to tone it down a bit for last night. I was also pretty blown away by Dashboard Confessional. He came out with guns blazing from "Swiss Army Romance" and "the Places You Have Come to Fear the Most." At one point he even asked the crowd, "So what do you want to hear? New stuff or all old songs?" Naturally, the crowd responded with a resounding, "Old!" The rest of the show made me reminiscent of shows back in 1999 and 2000 up in Philadelphia when I'd show up and there was this skinny tattooed guy up on stage all alone playing these acoustic songs. As much as I wanted to hate him, I just couldn't. Neither could the crowds as they would sing along with every word. I must have seen him 10 times my freshman year because he just always seemed to be opening every show. It was good to have those memories back.

Since this is the best of version of Noise Complaint, I figured I'd share with you my 5 favorite shows from the year. These are in no particular order as they were all amazing...

Dashboard/New Found Glory at the Ottobar
Taylor Swift at Merriweather (Don't be jealous)
Riverboat Gamblers/Fake Problems at the Ottobar
Big D & The Kids Table at the Talking Head Club
The Get Up Kids at the TLA

By now you're probably asking yourself, "Why does he hate this show every year?" I'll answer that question. I hate it because it puts so much pressure on me to piece together a 2 hour representation of the year in punk rock music. I know punk songs are short but is simply not enough time. After I sat back and listened to this show I thought of so many great albums that didn't make it. Records from bands like Teenage Bottlerocket, Landmines, Cobra Skulls, and Outbreak. All great albums but they didn't make the cut. The good thing about this year was that you got really into it. I had so many suggestions and requests for this year's best of show that it became pretty easy to put it together. I always say, this show is not all about me. It's much more about you so if there are some songs/artists that you want to hear, tell me. I'm all ears. You certainly told me this year and I love that. Thank you so much for that.

Here's what you picked for the best of show tonight. I hope you enjoy it...

This is a great video

Every now and then a short film will really grab my attention. It's not generally a foreign film mostly because I can't understand it. The fascinating thing about this one is that there are only a handful of words spoken in it. It's a beautiful story that proves you never know when you might find love. Enjoy.

The real playlist for Noise Complaint 11-23-09

Sorry for being late on this. Yesterday was just a really loooong day and I couldn't get it online. Everyone always loves a 3 day work week because they think it means less work but for me, it means squeezing 7 days of work into a 3 day period. I like having a couple days off but is it worth the stress before? That's enough bitching from me though. Here's what went down on the show last night...

The Riverboat Gamblers have a new video for their song "DissDissDissKissKissKiss." Take a look...




The Grabass Charlestons are back with a new song and they're putting it online for you to download for free. You can get "Dale" HERE.

This is possibly the best tour I have ever seen in my life. All 4 bands are freakin incredible. I have no idea how they even chose a headlining act here since all could do the honors. Get your passports ready to make a trip up to the great white north.

No show this week

I hate to disappoint everyone but there is no show this week. There's a pretty big concert with the Monsters of Folk in Philadelphia tonight so Yrock is going to be airing that live instead. I'll be back next week though.

I need some ideas for your favorites of 2009. Email me what songs/albums you think were the best of the year so I can start planning out the best of show next month. jeff@noisecomplaintradio.com

Have a great week!

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Thank You

I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for listening to my little show Noise Complaint. This was a project that I took on when I was leaving Philadelphia for a job in DC about 2 1/2 years ago and it's still growing. I honestly didn't think I'd be doing the show 6 months later let along 2 1/5 years. You have all shown me such great support and that's what keeps me going.

I have also noticed the audience getting wider. At first it was mostly Philadelphia area listeners because of the station but now I'm getting emails from all over the world. Over the last few weeks I have sent out prizes to Mexico, Oregon, England and Louisiana just to name a few.

One of my goals when I have some extra cash is to make some stickers so we can get the word out there even further. I'll keep you updated on that. Thanks again for everything. You'll never know how much it truly means to me.

Chuck Ragan and the playlist 10-19-09



I love Chuck Ragan. I was also a huge fan of Hot Water Music and even though his new solo music is a huge departure from that sound, it's still incredible. His Revival Tour is a great idea as well. I caught it in Baltimore on Friday. Any time you get a chance to see the front men of Hot Water Music, Avail, The Loved Ones and Sparta all on the same stage together playing music, you have to take it. If you're interested in getting a copy of his new record Gold Country just shoot me an email to jeff@noisecomplaintradio.com.

Ok here are a couple videos for you tonight. First it's the trailer for the documentary, "Let Them Know: The Story of Youth Brigade and BYO Records." I'm looking forward to getting a chance to see this. The CD they put out is incredible too.



Then there's this song I just came across. Yes, it's not punk rock at all. There is something about it though that just reels me in. It has a bit of a Postal Service feel and I can't stop listening to it. Maybe you'll feel the same...


Fireflies - Owl City

If you want to check out the new album from Converge, they're streaming it on their Myspace page. Take a listen.

The musical based on Green Day's 2004 album American Idiot is getting some interesting reviews. Not all are that great either.

If you're a Motion City Soundtrack fan...you might want to take a look at this. Especially if you want to take a trip to Chicago.

I'm jumping on my soap box

I recently read an article that was posted on Yahoo music. The article is based on the idea that punk rock is dead and has been since the late 70's. You can read the article HERE but be careful. It might make blood pour out of your ears out of confusion.

I don't even know where to begin. I'll start with the idea that punk rock died "once the Sex Pistols imploded and The Clash's Joe Strummer had the temerity to kick Mick Jones out of the band." Well first of all, these events happened 5 years apart. The Sex Pistols "imploded" after their US tour in 1978 and Mick Jones was kicked out of The Clash in 1983. There's a big span of time in between there. If punk rock really died in 1978 then that means The Ramones classics like "Kkk Took My Baby Away" and "I Wanna Be Sedated" are not punk. Bands like Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat and Circle Jerks, just to name a few, are then also not punk rock according to the author of this article. At this point in the article, Mr. Shawn Amos already lost my attention but I read on to see if he had any other points.

He claims that another death blow to punk rock is the creation of Hot Topic in 1988. That may be true to an extent. I saw my first Hot Topic in about 1998 when I was in high school. I'll admit, I was upset when I saw it. This was a bit before bands were selling merch online and you could only get shirts for your favorite local band at their shows. Hot Topic changed that and it didn't sit well with me. It was like a rite of passage to go to the show and get a shirt. Now these other kids were buying them thinking it would make them "cool." That being said, no real punk rock fans actually shop at Hot Topic. Yes, I have purchased a couple things from the store like hair dye and a Harry Potter jacket (yes I'm a nerd) but I don't buy into the image that they sell. In fact, the last time I was at a Hot Topic I think the only punk rock related thing in the store that I saw was a Ramones t-shirt on the wall. I will reiterate the point...real punk rock fans do not shop at Hot Topic for their image.

Here's a great line from the article. "Punk was born on the street but is now bred in major label board rooms with clothing manufacturer tie-ins." The author has it right on one end. The Ramones started what we know as punk rock from the streets of New York City. The Sex Pistols were all but created by a guy that owned a clothing store. Hypocrisy?

That's enough commentary on the first two paragraphs of the article. The author then goes on to use specific bands as examples for his point. Green Day, Avril Lavigne, Blink 182, Good Charlotte and Simple Plan. If I see the phrase "punk is dead" and then see names like Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan, the article is irrelevant. A person that considers Avril, Good Charlotte and Simple Plan to be punk in any way shape or form has no clue about the music in general. Sure, the mainstream audience may put those artists into some form of punk category but that doesn't make them punk rock. I remember hearing that Avril Lavigne was punk rock because of her looks. I'm fairly certain that I have never seen anyone wearing socks on their hands at a punk rock concert. Green Day and Blink 182 will get a pass from me. Green Day has matured and evolved and at this point probably are not a punk band but they do have a strong history. Blink 182 is a similar situation. They capitalized on their success but their roots are based in the pop punk world from the mid 90's.

An argument that I have made countless times is that album sales do not determine what style of music you play. Green Day has sold millions of records but they got their start at the same place where many bands have. They toured the country in a van while playing basements of peoples houses. They finally got a shot and took it. I have no issue with that. Rise Against and AFI are in similar situations currently.

To summarize...the author of this article is full of shit. If he really thinks punk rock is dead, I suggest he takes some time to listen to bands like Teenage Bottlerocket, The Grit, and Banner Pilot to start. There are plenty of artists around that still embody the idea of punk rock. You just have to find them and not wait for MTV to tell you who they are.

Ok, I'm done.

Noise Complaint Playlist 10-05-09

This week it's all about Banner Pilot...



That's not all true but I do have copies of their new record to send your way if you're interested. Shoot me an email to jeff@noisecomplaintradio.com and I might be able to get you one thanks to Fat Wreck Chords. I only have a few so I'll draw from a hat when all the emails come in. It's a bad ass record though so you don't want to miss this chance.

Can you believe Grade has been gone for basically the last 8 years? They reunited a couple years ago but have yet to release any new music. That's about to change. They have posted a brand new song on their myspace page and it is better than anything on their last record Headfirst and Straight to Hell. Sorry guys...that record was pretty bad. You can listen to "These Eyes Are On The Exit," by clicking here.

I don't know about all of you but I'm definitely a fan of The Swellers. Yes even though they are signed to Fueled By Ramen Records. Their new record Ups and Downsizing is good but it is a little toned down compared to their last. They did release a video for the song "Fire Away" and if you want to check it out, CLICK HERE.

I wish I thought of that...

I'm always on the fence about Twitter. I'm not sure if it's worth it but I still play around with it from time to time. Here's an example of what could be the funniest twitter page I've ever come across...

"I turn the kitchen faucet on and the shower burns you, yes, I get it...No, I'm not gonna stop, I'm just saying yes, I get that concept."

Harry Potter and the Gallows?



That picture is real and is not photo shopped. That is a picture of the two stars from the Harry Potter franchise with Frank from the Gallows. According to punknews.org, the two were dressed incognito to go see their show at the Reading Festival and then ended up backstage for a picture. I wonder if we'll hear "Leeches" on the next Harry Potter soundtrack.

Wow what a show last night at the VMA's huh. Think what you want to about country music and about Taylor Swift but what Kanye West did to her was pretty lame. I'm sure you've seen the video of it so I'm not going to waste space here with that. I did see this picture though and thought it was pretty funny...



It's a big week with a few debuts on the show. I had last week off so I'm playing catch up. I did just see this video for the new single from Ever Time I Die. The album is bad ass by the way. Here's the video for Wanderlust...

Noise Complaint Playlist 08-31-09

Can you believe August is over as of midnight tonight? I don't know about you but I'm OK with it. The crazy heat of the Summer is not really my bag. I prefer the cooler weather of the Fall. But that's me.

I spent some time looking for new music to play for you all tonight and I think I found some pretty bad ass stuff. I even have a couple debuts from Frank Turner and Every Time I Die as well. Should be a great show.

And did you hear about Pennywise? Unreal huh. Jim Lindberg is leaving the band to pursue other options. What those other options are...I have no idea. I did read that he was working on some sort of documentary based on his book "Punk Rock Dad: No Rules, Just Real Life." It's actually a pretty interesting book. I also heard he would be recording some new music on his own so who knows what's going to happen. It's just crazy that after 20 years he just wants to up and leave. On top of that, the rest of the guys want to keep the band going and find a new singer. That's even more crazy. You'll hear some tracks spanning their career tonight on the show along with everything else.

Also, I can't forget about the brand new video from Big D and the Kids Table. It's directed by Dan Dobi who is a good friend of Noise Complaint. I think it's one of his best to date. I have to admit, the female backup singers were a nice addition...especially the blonde.

Why do we love Transformers

I'm guilty. I love Transformers. To me, the movies are nothing short of brilliant. Yeah, I know the reviews aren't great for the new one but I don't care. I was glued to my seat watching giant robots beat the hell out of each other for two hours. That and Megan Fox combined make it worthy of my $10. I saw this video rant and thought I would share because apparently I'm not alone...

I moved out into the burbs of Baltimore a little over a month ago and I can't even express to you how much I love going for walks in the woods. Maybe it's because I great up in nature up in New Hampshire but it's amazing. I could do without the humidity but that's life on the East Coast I suppose.

Noise Complaint Playlist 06-01-09

I had an interesting conversation with a woman on the phone today. My day job is working for a morning show on a radio station in Baltimore. This woman called up because she had some concerns with what had been airing over the weekend. To give you some background, Clear Channel Radio has opted for a new music programming plan that means all stations of each format will be playing the same music at the same time. Basically it's one playlist that is copied by all of the stations at certain times. For example, mine only takes part on the weekends. Here's the conversation...

Woman:
I have a question. I was listening to your station, the one out of Dover and Froggy on the Eastern Shore and all weekend long you guys were playing the same music as each other. What's up with that?"
Me: Well Ma'am, that's a new thing that Clear Channel has started. They figure it will save money in the long run since they don't have to pay people to schedule individual music programs. They can do them all from one place."
Woman: Oh. I was going to say, Obama has only been in office for a few months and already he's taking away our radio stations.
Me: Ummmm, I can assure you, he had nothing to do with this decision.
Woman: I was just making sure.

Seriously? Her first thought is that Obama had something to do with. I have a feeling he has bigger things on his plate like a national recession, North Korea threatening with nuclear tests and let's not forget the collapse of the American auto companies. I don't give a damn what people believe as far as politics goes but this is just ridiculous.

Anyway, here's what made the show tonight. I hope you enjoy. Remember to give me any feedback you have. I love to hear from you all. jeff@noisecomplaintradio.com
