| Summer Jamz #7: Nate Patrin’s “440ci of Heavy Rock” | July 15, 2010 |
Pitchfork Reviews Reviews gave Nate Patrin’s Summer Jamz a 9.3. Download: Nate Patrin’s “440ci of Heavy Rock” Nostalgia is a weird and sometimes poisonous thing, and that goes double if we’re talking revisionist nostalgia for an age we don’t remember. I wasn’t around for the early ‘70s; I was born in ’77 and only started […]
| Summer Jamz #6: Dan Weiss’ “My Eyes Are Scrambled” Mix | July 14, 2010 |
Dan Weiss is normally less laconic at Kiss Out the Jams. Every one of these songs makes me damn happy and I made the last one myself. [Tracklist below the jump.] Download: ZIP: Dan Weiss’ “My Eyes Are Scrambled Mix” (Left-Click)
When he isn’t comprehensively chronicling abrasive pop at Agit Reader, Kevin Elliott maintains a Joey Votto tribute site at World of Wumme.

| Summer Jamz ’10: Douglas Martin’s Northwestern Summer | June 30, 2010 |
Douglas Martin puts on for his city. http://www.mediafire.com/?k0dgmtkwehm The physical climate of the Pacific Northwest is grossly over-dramatized. I mean, sure dark grey clouds waft through the sky approximately 180 days out of the year, and sure we wear flannel year-round and keep umbrellas in our cars like gangbangers keep handguns in theirs. But look […]
by Jonathan Bradley If the thug love song has a bad reputation, it’s because it deserves it. This rap micro-genre is responsible for some of the most treacly, dishonest and altogether unnecessary pop hits of the past few decades. “What,” you might reasonably be thinking upon hearing one of these, “is my favorite rapper doing […]
Like we always do about this time. For all of the frigid, aggressive, winter music that New York Hip-Hop has given us over the years, there’s no doubt that it was originally born out of the muggy, oppressive heat that can only come from an East Coast-summer. Fuck gentrification, to THIS DAY, a walk around […]

Since my knack for procrastination is only matched for my gift for talking loudly in public places, it didn’t run until now. Part Sint Maarten travelogue, part ode to Jamaican music and […]
| Summer Jamz 09: Mallory O’ Donnell & Jeff Siegel | July 31, 2009 |
Jeff Siegel and Mallory O’ Donnell are both members of the Stylus Diaspora. Passion of the Weiss is proud to serve as Babylonia. Jeff: For this aged club rat, chased off by cokeheads, Guidos, and Guiliani, the worst thing about summers was always the outdoor parties, or the warehouse raves devoid of air-flow. One […]
| Summer Jamz 09: Susan Wood–Word | July 24, 2009 |
Susan Wood likes summer because she tans really well and enjoys the jealousy of her much whiter, burnt and peeling friends. She also hosts ‘The Late Night Sandwich’ on BluFM in Katoomba on Sundays, 10pm-midnight AEST at www.blufm.org.au and has some blog (who doesn’t?) at http://steeplechaser1.wordpress.com Summer, in my eyes, really means dancing, and who […]
