Music Shit / Re: Earle Mankey - "Mau Mau" b/w "Crazy"
« on: July 03, 2007, 08:07:27 AM »Agreed! Glad someone else has this. Utterly C-R-A-Z-E-D/P-H-A-S-E-D glitter stompf. Probably the greatest /cheapest killer glitter pick-up I can think of. Especially given that it's American. 'Mau Mau' ROCKS HARD!
There's also some semi-unreleased stuff of Earle Mankey backed up by the Quick that's pretty good as well.

« on: July 01, 2007, 03:59:22 PM »Red Lights, 'Never Wanna Leave' (one of my fave ever pop 45's - sounds uncanningly like Stackridge or some lost late 60's pop-sike track - unbelievable!)

« on: June 30, 2007, 02:08:42 PM »Considering that I have a CD-R of unreleased stuff circa '72- '75 of a band I consider great, is a Ten Inch really the kiss of capitalist death that everyone makes it out to be? I know I personally find them annoying. ....elucidation, puh-leeazeee!

Tried, when he sold me some Gizmos promotional song book. Strictly, no business address/I run this shit outta my home/leave me the fuck alone kinda jive. I think he's an old fanzine-r, though not with Bike, Time Barrier Express or (Ballroom) Blitz from what I can tell. Ask the angels (or Black To Comm Chris).
Maybe Young Guns posse time.

Music Shit / Re: obscure 70s punk reissues
« on: June 29, 2007, 09:07:30 AM »While we're on the subject, what Rave-Up releases are even good all the way through?
Penetrators "Kings of Basement Rock"
Los Reactors "Dead in the Suburbs"
Epicycle "Teenage Suicide"
I like Vectors "Death to Disco" alright, but nobody else seems to. Features, Nervebreakers, & Reactors are half good... Am I missing anything? What's the worst, "Village Pistols"? So many of their releases are just fucking awful, it's hard to tell.
The Brats would have been great if the sound quality didn't suggest that it was mastered from a third-generation cassette that had been repeatedly flushed down a toilet. Dogs' 'Teen Slime''s good just for the single tracks, but again couldn't someone just have repressed the 45? Shady Lady's over-rated and very uneven (and not worth the price it now commands amongst the moronic Rave-Up faithful). Punks are pretty terrible and that General Foodz LP looks horrific.
Nervebreakers okay, Classic Ruins jus groovy.

« on: June 28, 2007, 06:38:28 PM »I understand your point (especially the part about FAGGOT WOPS), but stuff like the Acid Archives and Rave-Up, to me, seems almost entirely pointless. It's less about music and more about compiling some crazy all-encompassing aural history. And I don't care about this sort of shit in the slightest. I'm not a historian or a completist. Are these songs really good? No? OK! Then it sucks. Regardless if it's hopelessly obscure or a wild private press rec birthed from an unlikely basement in British Columbia or the ref point between subsubsubgenres A/B or whatever. These labels place way too emphasis on elements of music that, uh, ain't music. It's like buying a really shitty roast beef sandwich prepared by this FUCKING RADICAL DELI OWNER!!! CHECK OUT THAT GUY'S AWESOME FACE!!! AND I RARELY SEE HIM, TOO!!! Ahem.
Word. No record or band is any good just because some jerk-off in Crime used to listen to 'em or they were Ken Barnes' hometown heroes or they fill in the blanks in some gnarled family-tree. Records deemed relevant/important solely due to their 'influence' on or connection to later musical trends always blow. Always. And even though the historian in me might argue different, if it don't end in good music, fuck some fancy underpinnin'!
And I heard that deli owner's opening up a poutine and taco stand with Michael Yonkers, Curt Boettcher and Peter Grudzien.
