Ridiculous - The Uptones

What a monster song! Moose hits the nail on the head. This is the simplest message song I’ve ever heard. It’s soo right on. Scott Tee and his muted trumpet really set up Moose’s vocals, and Scott’s solo is centerfold material in Trumpet Magazine. The entire band plays their asses off. I predict big things for this song.

Here’s a live video

Tony Alva - Opal Book Club

Tony Alva and Jay Adams are names synonymous with modern skateboarding. E. Blake Davis’ song about these fearless boarding pioneers is about as irreverent and off the wall as they were. Opal Book Club is one rockin’ trio and they drop in on this track like urethane wheels on a fresh dry southern California pool. This is an instant classic and I’m glad it was picked to be on the first MP3 Jackpot compilation.

I Want to Kill Everybody - Ed Haynes

The title says it all. This song makes as much sense as anything else going on in the world today. At least Ed is honest about his intentions.

It Takes Money - Hobo

This is a very timely song about a subject there seem to be an awful lot of opinions about. Great song, great singer is such a winning combination.

-Matthew King Kaufman

Penetrating Love Ray - Sex for Moderns

This Berkeley band’s guitar rock song about projecting direct love feelings really rocks my world. This track has great musicianship, compelling songwriting, and a raw edginess that I recommend. Thanks in advance.

Radiation Boy - The Uptones

Here’s an insightful rumination on the state of our backyards by one powerhouse of a ska band. This song is the BOMB!! The lyrics are scary but true, and will aid in your character development. I’ve also heard that the singer is very cute.

Fell In and Out of Art - Stiff Richards

Stiff Richards got it right. I fall in and out of things all the time. I only wish I could write a song this good about it.

Sick - D Compose

Truly sick! I first heard D COMPOSE spinning at a house party last year and I’ve been diggin his stuff ever since. This slippery track oozes bass, and the loops swirl subversively like alien cough syrup. Enjoy! ;~*

Sex Pig - Repulsa

It’s tough to label this one of a kind star. Repulsa, one of the earliest heavy agro-rock women, was so far ahead of her time that her career remains largely unknown.

-Matthew King Kaufman

Piñata - Critical Mass feat. The Lazy American

An instant classic, this ebullient party track has all that a bunch of kids or grown up kids could ask for. West Coast ska fans are familiar with Critical Mass’ amazing live show, but few are prepared for this brilliant slab of casiotone-inspired latin ska candy.

P.M.F. - Black Pole

Bloody timeless track from east bay champs of the 90’s thrash funk era, Black Pole. They do say “punk motherfucker” quite a lot so yeah, parental advisory or whatever. This band was truly amazing live, and this track was recorded live in the studio. That’s right, no pro-tools tomfoolery, kidz, this went down, just as you hear it. Was really glad Matthew picked this for the first MP3 Jackpot comp. Enjoy.

Mr. Ed - Sex for Moderns

A song about a talking horse, of course of course. Trust me, this one really works.

Fish In a Tree - Hobo

This masterpiece by the Berkeley combo Hobo is powerpop at its best. The vocal performance is extraordinary, and the lyrics cascade images and poetry full of music fun.
