Haven't posted in like two years, but the Gee Tee LP is so  solid, I've been brought out of retirement.

I really dig this record. I listened to it a little while ago, liked it, forgot about, then came back to it recently, and I still like it. It works as an interesting counterpoint to the Lavender Flu record.

Meet Your Death LP
Great goddamn record.  "Hits hard", as my bud said.  Gotta love 12xu for the timing too:  this one, Musk + Manhunt all at once?  All great / too much.

Super obsessed with this record as well.  So ridiculously simple and so ridiculously good.

I blindly support Walter Daniels.

I dig the Sleeping Beauties record a lot. It has elements of the earlier Hunches stuff that I often thought was, unfortunately, missing from the later (though I like the later Hunches stuff a lot, too, don't get me wrong). The lyrics give me a chuckle at times, too.

Nice article. I've always been a big fan myself.

I dunno, I thought one of the songs on the Honey Radar album sounded very much like Strapping Fieldhands, so there's that.

You mean the SFHs song that sounds like the Pixies?

I have high hopes for the Savoy Motel LP, too.

Have you....heard Savoy Motel? I like Jeff and all, but voof!

Yeah, sure. The single was kind of cool. Certainly different than Cheap Time, but not "voof." I've heard the LP goes in another direction, so I'm definitely curious.

 I like the Jack Oblivian & the Sheiks record Outlaw of Love a lot, if we're still taking votes.

I have high hopes for the Savoy Motel LP, too.

First three Flesh Eaters LPs. Nearly perfect to my ears, but each one distinct in its own way. This Chris D. kick I'm on (which is now venturing into the Divine Horsemen records) is even making me reconsider the movie No Way Out.

The other night I listened to Cubist Blues by Alex Chilton. Alan Vega and Ben Vaughn. Talk about the Vampire sound. I can guess why Chilton was so comfortable to record with these guys. I almost sounds like a Jim Dickinson or Ross Johnson record with the half talked vocals and extended instrumentals. Really cool, but almost mandatory to listen to at midnight.

It took me a little while to "get" this record. But it recently clicked for me and had a lot to do with what you just described.

A slightly different animal but relevant perhaps. And if nothing else, an interesting document: Ghetto Brothers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HRxakq9dJXE

Fugazi, August 21, 1993, Metropol, Pittsburgh. I had just turned 16. They were on tour for In On the Kill Taker and opened with "Facet Squared" (still one of my favorite songs by them), which also opens the album. I remember standing next to a wire cage kind of thing off to the side of the stage. And, if you'll recall, "Facet Squared" starts with a little bit of feedback guitar scratch, then a sort of solo distorted riff, and then everything kind of comes crashing down--vocals, drums, bass, etc. I could feel it coming and the second the whole band hit and Ian Mackye started singing, the place exploded. I went flying into the cage, which almost toppled over, and I can still remember thinking, "This is incredible. Should I be scared? Fuck it." That was the moment.

They actually opened with "Smallpox Champion," similar effect, though.
