Trash Can School

Whoa... obscure SFTRI reference.

Buttock by Splatterheads has some Level 5 sax on it despite what some bogan bloke who posts here has to say.

The Lompoc County Splatterheads?

I am having trouble dealing with the fact that I forgot the Flesheaters. 

Is there a Saxaphone on Hamburger Lady?

Also - Bauhaus.

My abs were mad tight when I was screaming into a mic on a regular basis.

No kidding!  I once sang in a band for a while and I couldn't believe how much of a workout that is.

I used to drink a 40 oz. before running a couple miles.  Stupid.

Yes, though, in some bands, that's sort of what you do at a gig, eh?

Getting stoned and working out is awesome.  Or so I recall.

Lots of Alex Chilton for me right now. Someone posted two volumes digitized from cassettes of LX live with the Panther Burns as his backup band from Texas in 79. Mind blowing stuff. Covering songs they only half know (Alex actually just sings the riff of Pretty Woman for the first part of the song while everyone behind him seemingly  works out how to play it), playing Like Flies on Sherbert songs live (Baron of Love live is something else) and just fucking ruling (stone cold classic cover of Train Kept a Rollin amongst others). Echoed out and shattered. I read that Chris Stamey (of the dB's) was supposed to play bass, but quit halfway through because Alex kept calling out songs they didn't rehearse. Genius stuff.

I downloaded the Scientists box set on Numero. Sounds really fucking good. Loud. The live stuff is clear as a bell. Are the Flaming Groovies covers from an early version of the band? I know some people love it, but I tend to avoid the power pop stuff. It's the swampy reverb stuff for me. Is this thing actually worth owning? 50 bucks for 4 cd's is not bad, even if it is buying cd's. Anyone want to testify?

Also, Love's first album. Wish I could afford an actual mono, not just a cd one. Kenny Forrsi's bass is the secret weapon on the first album. That and the great songs.

Flamin Groovies covers = '79

Re: Scientists; totally worth it, to me.  The CDs sound great.  I bought the dbl LP too.  They both sound fantastic and the booklets are cool.  I believe those Flaming Groovies covers are from the earlier version of the band, but I'll have to check when I get home.  I will say this: hearing the live disc made me feel like there was less of a difference between the "two" (in quotes because, there are really more than 2) versions of the band.  They weren't so far apart, sonically speaking, as the studio recordings suggest. 

So, can a 50 yr old square dude get a hint as to where these Chilton recordings could be found?

I didn't get through 30 minutes of vinyl.  And I'm really not that hard to please.
