Uhhh, I just started watching The Wire for the first time on Monday. I finished the whole first season this week, and should have the series licked by the end of February. Rough shit!

Music Shit / Re: If you could only keep one record from you collection, which would it be?

« on: February 03, 2016, 07:26:26 AM »

I got no problems with talking puppies, but the best Folkways record is American music.

(edit: OK, I haven't actually heard many of their releases, but I love this one)

got this record a month ago in a small city in Spain, great record, but some songs are not complete, the Varese one, for example.

Surely, but it's worth it for the dissertation on tape looping / composition alone.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / CHOKE CHAINS & WET ONES LPs

« on: January 08, 2016, 09:18:18 AM »

Both out January 29th on Black Gladiator / Slovenly Recordings


CHOKE CHAINS "S/T" Black Vinyl or Limited Red Vinyl (200 copies)
https://slovenly.bandcamp.com/album/choke-chains-choke-chains-lp

Video starring Kevin Corrigan, directed by Nick Lloyd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff8gjNj7TEk



The Black Gladiator /  Slovenly brotherhood is in the business of pushing punk crudity like it's going out of style (it ain't), and with this debut LP by Michigan's CHOKE CHAINS there's no mistaking our intentions. Thomas Jackson Potter, he of '90s Crypt Records legends BANTAM ROOSTER and an original member of DIRTBOMBS, has concocted another nasty recipe for disaster with this latest unit featuring The Millionaire (ex-CHINESE MILLIONAIRES) on drums, Lindsey Crappor, (ex-NO BAILS) on 2nd guitar, and bass handled by a ballistic warlock named Chizz. Taboo tackling cuts like "Let's Try Suicide" and "Rock Paper Rapist" guarantee deep emotional scarring, and the album's opener "Safe Word" thrusts supercharged negativity transferal with terminal raunch. This is a cocksure debut from a battle-scarred crew, saturated with hostile imagery and the hyper-aggressive delivery you'd expect from pedigree of this caliber.



WET ONES "S/T" Black Vinyl or Limited Gold Vinyl (100 copies)
https://slovenly.bandcamp.com/album/wet-ones-wet-ones-lp



If any punk album in 2016 is going to transcend description it's this debut long player from KCMO's WET ONES. I can tell you that the band is made up of ex-members of FAG COP who released some of the most aurally offensive and insipid shit this side of THE FATALS and GRABBIES, and more recently, WHITE LOAD. There's a couple MOUTHBREATHERS in there too. Talk about an underappreciated band. One of 'em shelled out some seriously disgusting cuts here with "I Live Life Reckless" and "Static," and after a hundred spins they are finally starting to sound somewhat palatable. How did they even make this record? Shouldn't they be broken up already? Nothing this screwy ever lasts for more than a few minutes these days. They assure me that they're the best of friends and are immune to implosion, but this is not the sound of a trustworthy group.

Dude, it's fucking pure carnage on almost every page. The most eye-rolling moments are the quotes though. I don't know if they ever really said the things Frank claims verbatim, but it's like reading the Suburbia script! Totally stereotypical bonehead shit, although Suburbia was made in the same area at the same time, so who knows...

^ I read like the first twenty or so pages of that from some d/l excerpt and yeah the writing and viewpoint was strictly high school, and it seemed like he was more interested in talking about beatings then anything else. Some things should just be in zines. They end up killing & raping? That's just swell.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I got "Disco's Out...Murder's In!: The True Story of Frank the Shank and L.A.'s Deadliest Punk Rock Gang" for Christmas. I have about 35 pages left. It's terribly elementary (and just, well... terrible) from a writing standpoint, but the stories in it are truly disturbing, and Frank the Shank seems like he's still real proud of all the murder and rape that his gang was involved in. I'm hoping the end finds him writing the book from the clink. Had to do a double take when I got to the part that outed Vitamin Ena's identity. Turns out I actually know him. Nice guy, too.

Not even the Bo Diddley beat could save "Desire."

George Michaels' "Faith" on the other hand...

I like that Sebesky.  Was talking to someone yesterday about that Bill Plummer LP on Impulse -- the first song might be my favorite "white guy heads East" exploitation tune.  Shame the rest of the album doesn't match it.

There's some OK stuff on the rest, but yeah, the opening cut is where it's at. Of course it's the one song that skips on my copy. I posted a clip of an album that Plumber plays on (Jazz Corps with Tommy Peltier and Roland Kirk) in the flute jazz thread a few weeks back. I'm sure you see it a lot since it's a cheap one, so cop it already.
