THE KILLER KONA BUDS - Smokin'

A local Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg band,from 1996.Some originals,but mainly spoofs of:AC/DC's "Back In Black",done here as if O.J. Simpson was singing,"O.J.'s Back",Ted Nugent's,"Cat Scratch Fever",heard here as,"Scratch That Beaver",The Presidents Of America's,"Lump",which becomes,"Plump",in these guys hands,and my fave,Black Sabbath's,"War Pigs",spoofed as,"Bar-b-q-Pigs",all about that backyard grillin' cook-out!After the last track,there are a few hidden tracks,one a little skit,the other a cover of "The Hokey Pokey".Real dumb,almost tard-metal,probably a bored bar band,making up new lyrics to songs they've played for years!Despite the cover art,these fellas sound nothing at all like Insane Clown Posse.

APPLEKORE -Good Things Come To Those Enraged

From CA. in 1993 on Signal Sound System Records.You would think by the name,and song titles,this would be a hardcore punk single.Instead you get crusty rap/metal,with punk moments.I know someone out there has been looking for this,which is why you see it here.Nuff said!

CAT MACHINE-Tops In Our Field

This tape was Ed,Joel,Tony,and special guest,Billy Drake.Awesome,as usual,the song,"Let Me Be Your Soybean Buddy",is where the name "Sluggisha",was derived from.There is also a swell cover of Pink Floyd's ,"The Nile Song",as well as Tony's hit number,"Yesterday's Bourbon On My Shoes".Joel surprisingly ,does lots of vocalizing on this one."Supernatural Hoax" ,is another one of those"everybody read aloud at the same time",type of numbers,we were famed for.There is also a discussion about flashbacks.Part of the year-long Cat Machine masters series.In 2 parts!

OW,QUIT IT!-VOL. 2

A double 7" comp. of lo-fi acoustic,and lo-fi spacey stuff.You can see the talent listed here,and should know what to expect.I don't think you can find these tracks on other releases.Some of this sounds as if the record is dragging,but it's the way it should sound.Volvolo Records.

NAR -Holiday Routine

Fun,pop-punk from Ca.One of the guys in this band,is part of Moo-La-La records,and "Holiday Routine",is a great song,even if you hate pop-punk!Every copy of this single ,had a different kind of wrapping paper,so every single is one-of-a-kind.

CRENT

Fuckin' extreme maximum weirdness from these Aussie blokes.Side a is almost Chrome-like,while side b ("F.S.W." ,you'll find out what the letters stand for when you hear it!) ,is near hardcore velocity.1990 on Waterfront records

CAT MACHINE -Tribe Of The Moon

We now return to you the Cat Machine masters series!On this,their 8th foray into oblivion,Cat Machine was,Ed,Joel,& Tony,with special guests,Vance Burdge,and a sampler.Weird recording techniques,lo-fi and over modulation,the sampler on a seemingly retardo-bot trail of oddness.There is a track named,"Mortville",which is about the magical land in John Water's film,"Desperate Living",and features hilarious samples of Edith Massey as Queen Carlotta."Filth Makin' Filth" is here as well as the always gutbusting,"Turtleduck Tears",written about a bleach blond buzzcut,jewish ,nazi ,skinhead girl we knew.Some of the weirdest moments are in the last few tracks,"Octopus Diaper","Frankenstein Biker",and "Millenium's End",where the sampling just goes berserk on overload!Recorded 11/28/1990,in Joel's room at Cat Machine house.Cover model is Kim Falcon,who usually poses for retro-rockabilly bands,in the 50's style of cheesecake photos.In two files,get both for the full 90 minute meltdown.Really cool sound!

THE THANKSGIVING DAY XXX-TRA STUFFING MYSTERY BAND

A tryptophan trip thru 14 "songs",of turkey,stuffing,pie,and that overwhelming urge to sleep.Parts of this sound like a garage band tuning up,some parts of this resemble The Residents,Throbbing Gristle,Einsterzende Neubauten,and other industrial and electronic giants.Just thought I'd get this posted before the holiday,as I'll be cooking and eating,and putting up xmas stuff ,next Wednesday thru Saturday,so I'll be on a short break.I will try to post a few more things before then!Enjoy this,and ruin your family get-together on Thursday!Just play this tape at any gathering you may have!Guaranteed to seperate the men from the turkeys.

THE TOM RYERSON COLLECTION

Tom from the band Saint Judy,is still kickin,with his musical partner Stan Antone,up in Canada,and this is a collection of some of their latest,along with a few chestnuts.The disc covers a number of Tom's bands,but certainly not every project he's been a part of.The bands heard here are: Two Evils , Absolute Beginners ,A Date With Judy , Living In Fear , Fancy Dancers,and a few tunes under his own name .Not to distract from the obvious talent,Tom possesses the voice of Rik L Rik,and I imagine this being a lost album from him,when I hear this disc.Even the subject matter matches that of Rik , and Tom barely knows who Rik is,besides what I told him.A great collection of rock tunes,sure to make you swoon.Next up,I want to form a Rik L Rik tribute band,with Tom on vocals!

BIRTHDAY PARTY - Rare,Live,& Demos

There are 3 rare recordings included here.First, "The Black Mass Has Started",which is what Nick Cave says at the beginning of this live recording,right after he asks,"Why are there only 12 of you?",to which an audience member replies,"But we'll make the noise of a thousand people!".Recorded by my old friend,Leo Johnson,when he traveled to London.He said it was a small,almost,cabaret,with cocktail tables in front of the stage,from where he recorded this masterpiece.May 26,1982 ,London,
Hammersmith,Clarendon Ballroom.Most of Junkyard is covered,with a few from Prayers On Fire.And a fine cover of The Loved Ones ,"Sad Dark Eyes".I don't believe either of these live shows have ever been released,in any form.The other live show(as well as the demos) ,"Ready As We'll Ever Be"(something said by a band member right before starting "Rowland Around In That Stuff") is from I believe a boot tape stand that Leo also went to in London,at a flea market,or something.Recorded June 12,1981 ,London,West Hampstead ,Moonlight Club ,mostly Prayers On Fire and earlier,and a few of Junkyard's songs.A few glitches in the tape,but great sound.Missing the last 3 songs from the show."God Damned Demos" follows most of the same tracks as The Peel Sessions ,but 2 songs at the end are different.It's a boot,whattya want for free? And you better be leavin' a happy birthday wish for Sluggisha,in the post below this,if you decide you want to hear this rarity! thanks -G O D

PLANET PIMP RECORDS -GOODE TYME JHAMBHOREE

Most importantly check out the cover model, D'lana Tunnel,(there's more of her in the zip),and hear these great bands,Man Or Astroman,The Hi-Fives,Los Kogars,The Go-Nuts,The Original Car Thieves,and lots more fun,that is not available on any other recordings.There are spoken parts,a phone call,Tourette's moments,and even more wacky hi-jinks.Mostly concerning Goodchoice Grocery,just say no,recycling,and vegetables,and meat.But,most importantly,D'lana! . Dangerous curves,on that girl.

THE ORIGINAL GENERATION X

A rather muddy sounding demos record,sounds as if it was mastered from an old cassette tape that was on someone's floor ,after a million rowdy parties,and a million spilled pints.Still an important document of early UK punk.Put out by McDonald Brothers Corpration ,they try to make their logo look like the BBC.Released in 1987 on Jock Records out of England.Rare,and punk rock!

THE PANICS-Push The Button

A seminal Ft. Myers punk band,from the start,in 1980.The singer,Spencer ,was a substitute teacher at Ft. Myers High,and later moved to CA to form The Mutts (more on that on a later posting).The drummer,Jim Becker,is a local news caster.Jason Slaughter,on guitar,financed the whole thing,with his riches.Their only LP,after a few singles,this has great songs like,"Test..Test", "Kill It Before It Multiplies", "Feel For Pop",and more.Kinda 60's garage meets 80's punk/new wave.Good friends of Leo Johnson,from whom I learned of them.I used to hang with my friend's band,Nightwing,in high school,and once they were recording in the studio next to the Panics,and kept teasing them,calling them "The Pancakes"(which is actually a good band name,me thinks!)and taunting them for not playing hard rock.Recorded partially at Soundcheck studios in Ft,Myers.This rules,and is a piece of Ft.Myers punk history,as well.

STIFF POLE RECORDS TRIBUTE-Attack From Both Sides , Welcome To Florida , Gotohells , Gimcrack/The Candy Snatchers

This post concerns the recent passing of Rick Konwinski,founder of Stiff Pole Records.There was also a recent memorial show,wherein all proceeds collected went to Rick's family,and featured some of the bands,on this posting. 

First up we have the "Attack From Both Sides" single which has 2 FL bands and 2 CA bands on St. Pete's own Stiff Pole label.No Fraud,Face To Face(Still sounds like Dag Nasty ,to these ears,and a whole hell of a lot better than what passes for "emo" nowadays)Rhythm Collision,and Psycho Tribe.

Welcome To Florida, (Now Get The Fuck Out,...Asshole),has The Crumbs and Against All Authority from Far Out Records,on the east coast,and from the west coast of sunny FLA,we have Gotohells,and Pink Lincolns,all bashing out previously released tunes,a nice little comp,between 2 labels

Gimcrack/The Candy Snatchers split is a punk rockin' good time.Good listening for early morning work ritual

Gotohells make it look easy,just rock-a punk-abilly,the way they make it down here,in the deep south.

So there you have it,a lil' Florida sunshine,punk rock stylee!

the PARKLAND PRIDE LP

An incestuous bunch of bands,which share members,except for the only band on here I ever heard before,AMQA,there's surf,rock,metal,spoken word, and the lead-off track is a doozy,The Parkland Singers,with their theme,"Parkland Pride".A little town in WA. spawned this oddity.Leviathan is also here,but not the black metal band with Wrest.A funny story about Jim Belushi,too. On Meat Records,and Parkland Co-op

OBLIVION -Product

This Illinois trio,play a trio of songs on this 7".the 1st track is a great pop-punk song of unrequited love,for a girl who's too drunk to see.The other 2 songs remind me of rap-metal stuff,but maybe not as bad as what followed.Lyrics are out of the ordinary,on Johann's Face Records,Chicago,1993

THE SHOTDOWNS-This Party Is A Frat House

The Shotdowns were a band that Ben Weasel claimed to have discovered in the backwoods of Maine. In fact, the group was a one-off project with Ben and Jughead of Screeching Weasel, along with Chicago Sun-Times music critic Jim DeRogatis, all playing under aliases. They released one 7" on Lookout! Records in 1996.Good,ol' timey,slam dancin',hardcore,punk rock!

THE SINISTER CLEANERS

This American issued single ,culled from a few of their 12"ers,released in England,is pretty cool.Side a "When I Feel Strange",is said by the band to be a piss-take on a ZZ Top song.I don't hear that at all,maybe you will!One of the band members,later joined the Wedding Present.From Joel Rizzo's eclectic collection.Find them here: http://www.the-sinister-cleaners.com/index.asp

WCKR SPGT -4 Song E.P. -1991

This has one of my favorite songs on it,"International Church Of Pancakes",which is funny,cuz now IHOP is suing a church for using it in their name,"the International House Of Praise".These guys rule,and have a handle on the weird end of the alt-music scene.From my pal,Joel's collection.You can download 1248 of their songs for free at their website found here: http://www.wckrspgt.com/index.html

SCOTT WILLIAMS

I think this is his first recording,one of the earliest things done in Noise New York studios,1985.If this is the same Scott who's still playing,he now does everything from opera,to medieval music,to new age.Side a is kinda new wavey,while side b is almost an Irish drinking song!Also of note , Naux ,produced,arranged,plays bass,some guitar and keys,on this here slab.

HAPPY EVER AFTER

The first single from these German folk,released in 1989,on X-Mist records.Weird Sonic Youth/Superchunk vibe I get from this.Kinda fits in with the alternative music of the 90's.Bizzare lyrics,about what,I don't know,but a lyric sheet is in the zip.They only did one more 7" split with another band,and 1 LP.Strangeness.

Helios Creed,with new and old sidemen,after Damon's departure from life.Some say it's not Chrome without Damon,I think it's as spacey as it ever was,no disrepect to Damon.10" clear vinyl.On Man's Ruin,1996.

DISHWASHER-Music to Wash Dishes By -Vol.1

So this guy,Pete,decided one day,to try and wash dishes in every state,in the U.S.A.,and started a zine called,"Dishwasher",one of which is included in this comp.As you can see by the cover,you know what bands are here,all doing songs that are unavailable elsewhere,and all have to do with being a dishwasher,and working in a restaurant.The Scared Of Chaka track ,"Dish Militia"does it for me.And the songs are held together with audio clips from the film,"Mr.Dish Machine Operator",which is stupid funny.Check out Pete's zine in the zip,oh yeah Ten-Four does,"Pete's Theme".I washed dishes at The Clock Restaurant,North Ft Myers,when I was 15.I can relate. On 702 Records,Reno,NV.
