Pick of the Day: Black Lips

Black Lips

Any band that lists Bo Diddley and Robitussin as influences is all right with us. And when they sound like this – all garage-y (literally: they must have recorded this tinny, echo-filled stuff in a garage) rockabilly punk pop with a healthy dose of adolescent humor — it’s hard not to fall pretty hard. Then there’s the fact that the Black Lips are heading out on tour with our other favorite southern teenaged punks, Be Your Own Pet (whose impossibly snarky, siren of a lead singer Jemina Pearl won’t shut up about the Atlanta-based band in interviews.) When we listen to swoony, self-amused tracks like “Not a Problem” and “Hippie Hippie Hoorah,” we picture a bunch of young, bored, smart dudes hanging out in someone’s bedroom listening to Nick Cave and the Troggs and the Velvet Underground, smoking pot and waiting for life to start. Who hasn’t been there? Who doesn’t want to go back?

I want to go back! Except now I’m out $20 to iTunes for a couple of their albums… And I’m still here.

I love hippies, and I love the Velvet Underground. Good combination.
