The lack of self-awareness is really kind of inspiring it's so transcendent.

Music Shit / Re: What Are You Listening To And What Do You Have To Say About it? PART VI

The Life Stinks LP. It's maybe the best punk record I've heard in five years or more. It's okay to call them punk, right?

« on: September 19, 2014, 09:22:34 AM »I love to listen to some of those old 1980 singles by nobodies & picture them saying, "Yeah! We're gonna be FAMOUS!"
It is this exact concept that has sustained me through listening to and enjoying bands and songs (of the power pop persuasion) that I objectively know full well are shit.

I heard that Gutteridge actually came to NYC for those recent Clean shows and was expecting to perform with them, but for whatever reason couldn't/didn't/was allowed to or something. Kind of heartbreaking.

These were my three essential jams during that time, and all three completely hold up. Ohio was running the show for me in the '90s.
TJSA -- Bait and Switch
NBT -- Destroy Oh Boy
Gaunt -- I can See Your Mom from Here

The Boyfriends -- I Don't Want Nobody (I want You) and it's been that way for like a week.

« on: August 14, 2014, 07:24:08 AM »If you got Singles Live and Unreleased and the second S/T album by Royal Trux and left it at that, you'd be in pretty great shape, though i dig some of their other stuff as well. Those two "albums" are killer though. If you don't like 'em, you've not eaten 'enough acid.
"Lawman" cover kills. It's like Jefferson Airplane wrote that song for Royal Trux.

Madball is exactly the kind of punk band that makes me root for Superchunk.

Music Shit / Re: Drag City
« on: July 25, 2014, 08:31:16 AM »I love the Death LP but this bullshit that keeps getting repeated about "Punk before there was Punk" is a nonsense comment from a music journalist who clearly doesn't know a fucking thing about Punk and should probably stick to Indy Rock or whatever tussles the little wieners hairdo the best.
If he is a member of this board, which would make me laugh because it would be so predictable I hope he pops on here so I can ask him what fuck is wrong with him.
I agree 100%.
This angle doesn't really bother me (and, no, I'm not that writer). Sure Death didn't "invent" punk anymore than any other band. But they hit on an at times pretty ferocious sound and were doing it, relatively speaking, in a vacuum--no scene to speak of and in an environment that wasn't exactly nurturing. So, sure, if you're some dude writing for a mainstream publication and you need to put Death in context for people who don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the midwestern underground music landscape of the early '70s, thinking of Death as "punk before punk" doesn't strike me as that outrageous. It's not exactly original and technically inaccurate (I guess) but I don't see why it should get anybody fired up.

Music Shit / Re: The Equals!
« on: July 24, 2014, 12:19:17 PM »It could just be a my locale, but there was a point for me which I thought I could go a lifetime without ever hearing the Equals again. They seemed to be playing in bars, hip vintage stores, at shows, any deejay around...etc. However, after having a significant break from them I can appreciate them once more. They were a great band. I wouldn't really say they were overlooked though.
Agreed.
I feel like a few years ago they were everywhere. Bands like Wounded Lion were referencing them, which is great, but I just don't think of them as overlooked.

Music Shit / Re: The Equals!
« on: July 24, 2014, 12:17:08 PM »This band, in my humble opinion, is one of, if not the most overlooked and underrated band at least of the 60's, early 70's, if not ever. I know they were big in England but like most good things were ignored in the states.
If, for some reason, someone has not heard of this band check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhKd1Vzr-YQ
or the more ubiquitous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E5aF_rdX9Q
How the fuck was this band ever overlooked? Seems absolutely criminal to me. I've gone through 2 copies of the discogrphy on CD and this the only 60's band that I collect different PS's from. I would love a nice copy of Diversion if someone has one.
Love this band! I don't really think of them as overlooked, though. I think one of the problems with how they're received is that they've never really been given the quality deluxe reissue treatment. Just a bunch of cheap-o comps. The singles are out there and affordable, though.

Stonewall -- S/T
Jerusalem -- S/T
Iron Claw -- S/T
Morgen -- S/T
A lot of that kind of action.
