THE ALTERNATIVES - s/t 12" ep

Featuring Richard Lloyd (no,not that one!) and Barbara Carrera (no,not that one!) ,another new wave band outta Miami ,FL 1985.The Cars,Tom Petty,& Richard Hell ,come to mind while listening to this. Real cheesy new wave music and lyrics and vocals ,this is the shit! Included in the zip file ,is a flyer from my band ,Buzz Workshop ,and we used this band's pictures ,as our own! Ha ha!Another group of cuban/latinos ,cutting out their piece of the American dream. Power-pop for the masses! Pre-saging the use of the word "alternative" ,as it related to music ,and a premonition of the cover of the first Suede album ,with 2 androgynous faces.

SECRET SOCIETY - Too Blind To See

A new-wave ,alt-dance band ,classified as "free-style" in 1987 Miami. Sounding (and looking) much like Duran Duran ,The Cure ,and Depeche Mode ,combined ,with a few other influences thrown in the mix. I gotta say ,the last number ,the stupidly titled instrumental ,"69" ,sounds almost note-for-note like George Michael and Wham's hit ,"Careless Whispers". Apparently people raved about this cuban/latino group ,back then. Pretty fucking derivative ,if you're asking me. Memories of 80's teen flick soundtracks will fill your cranium! The album looks more goth than it actually is.

MC SHY D - Shake It b/w It's Just My Caddy

Cousin of Afrika Bambaataa , produced by Luke Skyywalker (of 2 Live Crew) ,and boasting of 4 tracks ,when they only give you two! It says on the label (house mix) and (instrumental) ,but neither of those actually show up. These are ,I believe ,alternate mixes of tunes from his 1988 LP ,"Comin' Correct In 88" ,and this was his fifth 12" single. MC Shy D , or Peter Jones ,as his friends like to call him ,succesfully sued Skyywalker Records for 1.2 million in unpaid royalties.Sporting the Miami bass sound ,"Shake It" ,has been used in dozens of "big booty" vids ,with girls shakin'their asses all over! While ,"It's Just My Caddy" ,could be used as a professional golfer's theme song. Now leading a second life as a DJ at a sports bar! Free crab legs w/purchase of a drink! The record label's warning reads: "unauthorized duplication will get you messed up by the ghetto style dj's" Should I be scared?

LATHER - Confession/Impaled b/w Spitting Cell/Insolence

Powerful emo straight outta Louisville ,KY ,1993. On Self-Destruct/Fitty Fur Records. Almost has the DC Dischord sound down pat. Reminiscent of Ignition ,Ian MacKaye's little brother's (Alec) band. Good music to wring your hands to and cry.Another 99 cent special!

GRISLY FICTION - Electrolytes b/w Dear Meat

Grunge stylee from Philly,PA ,1991 .Kinda have their own sound ,though derivative of metal and alt-rock of the times. Weird breakdowns that sound warped. Vocals are out of key ,yet fit the strange melodies just fine. 99 cent bin special!

HELL GARBAGE / KAAGOOTAABAA - Split

Dylan & John ,from Florida & North Carolina ,respectively ,each do a 10 minute or so, piece of "music". Nice noisy stuff ,to get your blood (or fists) pumping. HG plays a feedback-laden blur of overmodulated shitcore. Kaagoo is mellow ,comparatively ,running thru a digital delay ,and espousing sentiments for your ears only! Recorded Nov./Dec. 2011 ,on Lady Anthrophagus Unincorporated ,in a ltd edition of 30 .Two great one-man-bands ,that sound great together on this split. My wish is to do splits with each of these guys and ICSSH ,and Frank Goshit ,and all these other new noise/shitcore dudes! Music that makes you think........

BUBBA FOWLER - And Then Came Bubba

Starting his musical career as part of a duo (with Chuck Woolery!) as "The Avant-Garde" with the singles "Yellow Beads" (re-done on this LP) ,and "Naturally Stoned" (a top-40 hit!) in 1967. Elkin "Bubba" Fowler, also played guitar for Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen ,both of whom he resembles ,musically ,lyrically ,and vocally on this 1970 album. "The Pounding Status Quo" ,is a Dylan rip ,and one of the best tracks here. Other standouts include ,"Listen Big City" ,"Next Year This Time" , and "The Messenger Of Life". The re-make of his former group's ,"Yellow Beads" ,is a hippy story ,and much of the material is either dated or has much to do with what's happening in the world right now! I remember snatching this up while thrifting ,and taking it over to Joel's house for a spin on his turntable. We just fell about in laughter ,looking at Bubba's front cover pic ,and hearing him totally aping Dylan's whole schtick! What a blast!

HARDVARK - Dress-Smear On The Race b/w Speed Limit

Champaign ,IL is home to these alt-rock grungers ,who were around in 1991-1995. With art and graphics resembling an Am-Rep release ,the songs are noise-pop ,leaning towards Sonic Youth /Neil Young territory. From 1993 on Mud Records

THE KOTO MUSIC OF JAPAN - Nonesuch Records ,1965

An impressive study of Japanese koto music ,in varying styles. 6 different masters play pieces solo ,and as duos and/or trios. This is the mono version of this fine album ,procured from the back room at Record Trader ,the storefront of my Ft. Myers,FL pal ,Ralph Tarantino. Pristine vinyl ,not a pop or click or scratch to be found! Since the interest in my post ,"Koto -The Beatles" (found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5yn0l3hmmyz ) ,garnered over 200 downloads (including receipients as far flung as Captain Sensible of The Damned! and his friends) ,I figured it was time to unleash this beast upon the ears of the world! The liner notes are very informative ,telling the stories of each of the masters ,and the tales behind the music. Could not find a link to this anywhere ,but did see a few sites selling the lp. Very zen ,and trippy ,almost a Japanese version of the Indian sitar music.Mellow and merry-making. Cover art by John Trotta ,produced by Jac Holzman ,recorded by Katsumasa Takasago in Japan. Most folks don't know the famous Japanese koto was actually brought into being by the Chinese! Part of Nonesuch's "International Series".

ONE FELL SWOOP - Live At The Draft House 2/7 or 2/14/1992

It's a mystery when this show was recorded. It's listed on the cassette cover as the 7th ,but on another mix it's listed as the 14th. I put up the flyers from both shows ,one of which was not recorded ,at least I could not locate it in the vault.Black Nerd only played with us once ,and this was not the time ,despite the flyer. Pillows ,was a Michael Griffin (rip) noise project ,and I'm not sure about the Nomadz ,but I do know Boneshaker's original name was The North Cape Nomadz ,then TRV , for Tony,Ron,Vance ,the boys in the band.This is not your typical OFS live tape. It's pretty much Chipmonk's show ,as ,unbeknownst to either Joel or I ,Chipmonk had placed the microphone we were recording the show with ,right in front of his amp. It's just like him to pull some shit like that ,and after only a few more shows together (posted here soon!) the band was over. Joel said this about the tape : "Of sub-bootleg quality,actually it barely qualifies as a bootleg". The vocals ,my guitar ,and the drums ,are virtually washed out by Chipmonk's wall of jealous noise.There are some fine moments here ,including an improv instro (Magic Bowel Movement -Symphony In E Minus) , a bunch of cover songs,a lengthy and funny version of "Teach Wants Quiet" ,and a spoken word ending ,"The Ant-ectdote" ,a story of ants that is a parable of our times (the 90's). The audience was small but receptive. If you love the Chipmonk ,this is the tape for you ,wah-wah pedal,feedback ,and all. Not the most even recording ,and probably one of the worst sounding live recordings ,we ever did. Thanks ,Chipmonk!

ROCKY DENNIS PICTURE SHOW - Flies Feast On Festering Feces

The latest from Ruby Showers & Uncle Boytouch ,with cover art by Abortion Bandito ,these guys are really tightening up! Their most accomplished and polished album yet ,with some of the funniest song titles ever! Seattle ,WA ,is apparently a hotbed for this kinda shit now ,what with these fellas ,Skindust , Teenage Mustache , Jamegumb ,and other groups ,crawling out of the woodwork. Ruby Showers had this to say about this release : "This album is so brutally metal and stuff, you'll shit your Slipknot bed sheets!" ,ha ha ,it's funny cuz it's true! Metalheads will be pleased ,as well as punks and gourmands of alternative music.

JAMEGUMB - A Mental Health Evaluation

The very first offering from Jamegumb. The second release (Pederasty) ,is already posted on this blog somewhere's! This is one ,over 40 minutes,track ,full of feedback ,synth doodles,primal screaming ,and incessant drones. Sure to clear any room of your choice ,and you'll need what the album title suggests ,if you listen too closely. Good for backround ambience ,but equally great at full blast ,as you careen thru the streets in your tin can!There's a new noise scene in Grunge-land ,and it's being led by folks like Jamegumb ,Skindust , Teenage Mustache ,and other less visible bands. This is music to shit to!

SKINDUST - Flora Peters Goes To High School

The latest from the Northwest madmen! This is kinda like an audio documentary of a high school girl's life. With a few funny commercial advertising breaks.This is different than their previous releases ,a bit more subdued ,and perhaps more interesting ,because of it.I don't know ,I listened to this today at work ,and I'm still dumbfounded, or maybe that's the beer kickin' in!

BABYGOAT/SEASONAL MEN'S WEAR - Greetings From DeKalb

Jake and SMW on this split with Babygoat ,they each do a half dozen songs ,then they collaborate on one number.Babygoat is almost like a jr. league Unicorn Hole ,kinda tardy/black metal/nintendocore. Cool enough ,but the SMW tracks hold enough stories in them ,to write a book!Recorded at various times between 2006-2011 ,one of the songs took over 2 years to record!! There is a good letter from Jake in the zip ,which explains some of the story ,but leaves your thirst for knowledge on this release ,slightly unquenched. Really cool stuff ,limited edition of 50 discs ,on Brown Bear Records!! Look out soon for Jake and I in our new band together ,NACHO KNEES!

GAINMAS - Vela

Dylan Houser ,with another of his projects , this is an over 30 minute ,atmospheric ,electric guitar drone ,that brings to mind everything from ambient black metal ,to shroomed-out psychedelics ,to free-form spizzle. A great thing to listen to ,while in heavy thought. That's right ,this is real thinking man's music! Inspiring and joyful ,but not in a churchy/gospel way! Depressing yet uplifting ,I really like this and I'm in awe!
