Hiatus

Due to unfortunate circumstances, this project is on hiatus.

Hope to see you later.

Volcano Suns - Some Live Show

I was really happy to read that the first two Volcano Suns records are going to be re-released with bonus stuff. In honor of that, I'm posting some live show of theirs that sounds pretty good. You'll have to turn the volume up, though. Actually, turn it up a little more. Little more. There.

Yeah. Blast-worthy band.

Here's the track list:

1.Belly Full of Lead
2.Promise Me
3.Slopen Hood
4.Greasy Spine
5.Brother Superior
6.Like Bucks
7.Now File
8.Balancing Act
9.The Mouth That Roared
10.Magic Sky
11.Lummox
12.What's Happening To Me
13.Barricade
14.Crotch On Fire
15.Storm In My House
16.Testify

Enjoy!

Good Record Store Day.

The Slits - Typical Girls

This is them live in the early eighties in San Francisco and, of all places, Cincinnati (reprazent!). About 90% of this is fantastic, especially their cover of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" which you may listen to below.



The other 10% is, I think, Neneh Cherry doing guest vocals and sounding like a kitten with its paw in a meat grinder.

But what are you going to do?

I was lucky to see them a couple of years ago and the show was fantastic. After one song, Ari Up said, "That one was tight. Like my boom boom!" And then she patted her boom boom.

Oh Ari! You silly!

Here's the track list:
1. New Town
2. Walkabout
3. Man Next Door
4. Life On Earth
5. Heard It Through The Grapevine
6. Typical Girls
7. Fade Away
8. In The Beginning
9. Or What Was It

Enjoy!

Mix Tape #7 - Funk (Not The Good Kind)

I don't know if it's the onset of winter or the holidays or what, but I have been in the foulest of tempers for a while now. I've never quite understood why that leads me to listen to bleak and mournful music, but I do find it comforting during these short, cold days.

I wonder if watching a video featuring Black Box Recorder's ultra-hottie Sarah Nixey will help.

Huh. It kinda did!

Anyway. Here's my bad mood mix.

Side A
1. Swans - Failure
2. The Waterboys - Be My Enemy
3. Songs: Ohia - Love Leaves Its Abusers
4. Heartless Bastards - Done Got Old
5. Big Star - Nightime
6. Blatz - California
7. Fastbacks - Call it what you want
8. Morphine - I'm Free Now
9. Robert Pete Williams - I've Grown So Ugly
10. Love Battery - Damaged
11. The Kinks - Predictable
12. Cringer - Signals


Side B
1. Scrawl - Sad
2. Flipper - The Way of the World
3. Palace - Stablemate
4. Thee Headcoats - Don't Like The Man I Am
5. Proton Energy Pills - Nothing
6. Pussy Galore - Kill Yourself
7. Sebadoh - Hoppin' Up And Down
8. Black Box Recorder - Child Psychology
9. Honor Role - Purgatory
10. Hayden - Bad As They Seem
11. Panda & Angel - Dangerous
12. Bettie Serveert - Healthy Sick
13. Kristin Hersh - Listerine

Here.

Sanford Clark - Shades

Excellent twang. Recommended if you like Lee Hazlewood. Because he wrote some of the songs. Like the one I am posting via this cute little internet thingy below.



I think this might still be commercially available in Germany, so I feel bad about posting it. But, then again, there was that whole Hitler thing...

Enjoy!

X Ray Spex - Spermfree Geriatric

I guess these are Rough Trade demos and Peel Sessions. And as such they're really raw. I don't know, though...I think some of these songs should be rawer. A good example is "I Can't Do Anything." The studio version of that sounds all Brady Bunch and sunshine handclaps. The version here will poke your eye out.

I was so happy to find this in the late 80's because Germfree was out of print and this was the only way I could listen to these songs. You damn kids with your damn internet.

This is my vinyl rip, so you know it'll be extra shitty. And there's a big old skip on "Plastic Bag." And I didn't break it into tracks. Punk rock!

Side A
1. Oh Bondage Up Yours
2. Obsessed With You
3. Identity
4. Let's Submerge
5. Plastic Bag
6. I Live Off You
7. I Am A Cliche
8. I Can't Do Anything
9. The Day The World Turned Dayglo

Side B
1. Genetic Engineering
2. Identity
3. I Am A Poseur
4. Genetic Engineering
5. Germ Free Adolescents
6. Age
7. Warrior In Woolworths
8. Artificial

Enjoy!
