Teenage Time Killers - Hung Out to Dry

     You know how normally I'm asking you for ten minutes or more of your time for some epic jazz prog saga or other? Today's brief, furious blast of proto-punk is an apology of sorts. We're cool, right?

     You may or may not have heard of Teenage Time Killers already, as they're a bit of a supergroup featuring members of Corrosion of Conformity and My Ruin along with an expansive supporting cast of guest musicians. I won't go into the lengthy list here, except to drop a couple of names that are pertinent for our purposes here today: Dave Grohl and Randy Blythe.

     Pertinent how? Well, they're both featured on the first Teenage Time Killers single "Hung Out to Dry", from the upcoming Greatest Hits Vol. 1. That's right, that's Randy you're hearing (or are going to hear) those rapid-fire verse vocals from. And believe it or not, Dave is handling the low end of things here, rather than the drumming duties.

     And best of all (maybe, I don't know how strapped for time you are on a Sunday afternoon) is that "Hung Out to Dry" clocks in at seconds shy of two minutes long, so you have no excuse for not giving it at least a listen or two. You could probably be just about done with its two minutes of grungy deathpunk by the time you're done reading this post, so get clicking already.

Song of the Day: Foo Fighters - My Hero

     I suppose a Nirvana song might be a somewhat obvious (some would say obligatory) choice for a 90's Week song. But an album like Nevermind, while monumental, had less influence on me personally than another album by a Nirvana alumnus.
