Random Summer Saturday Beer n' 7" Bo-nanza!

1) The Fall- Look, Know
2) The Fall- I'm Into C.B.
An incredible single from The Fall's output on the Kamera label, possibly their strongest period. Again, I'm more drawn to the B-Side, at no fault of the A-Side.



3) Teengenerate- Out Of Sight
4) Teengenerate- Pushin Me Around
Maybe not their strongest release, but still good.



5) ? & the Mysterians- I Need Somebody
6) ? & the Mysterians- 8 Teen
Great Latino Stomp n' Pomp pre-punk.



7) Blue Cheer- Summertime Blues
8) Blue Cheer- Out Of Focus
Why not follow that up with some classic Stoner Rock?



9) George Jones- Ya Ba Da Ba Do! (So Are You)
Is there any going wrong with a song about getting drunk by yourself from an Elvis shaped whiskey bottle, poured into a Fred Flintstone jar, and the resulting conversation with Elvis and Fred? Hell no!
(The same song is on both sides of the record)



10) Country Teasers- Anytime, Cowboy
11) Country Teasers- No. 1 Man

Taken from the cassette that got them a deal with Crypt (was tacked onto the "Pastoral, Not Rustic..." CD...I think it stands better on its own than as bonus tracks) and possibly more lo-fi than the Alan Country Davidson tapes from the same time. Time for another beer?



12) The Dukes Of Dixieland- Quand Mo T'est Petite (When I Was a Child)
Why do all 4 tracks when all those better bands only get 2? The rest of the E.P. is good, but this track by far stands out as the best.

Jungle Exotica Vol. 2

Martin Denny on crack?
Yet another compilation of obscure old R'N'R, but instead of the standard primitive R'N'R beat, you get a primitive jungle beat with your R'N'R and with fantastic results. Something a little more wild...
If you are one of the unfortunate ones who don't understand the simple brilliance of early rock 'n' roll, do yourself a favor and give this a listen. Has the combination of simplicity and primitive energy, especially with a jungle beat, ever gone too wrong?

(I must say that I prefer Vol. 2 to Vol. 1, but it's not bad in any way. If you can't find it anywhere else let me know and I'll post it, too.)

God Less America

This is a collection of obscure country songs from 1955-1966 covering topics as alcoholism, drug abuse, murder, mothers reduced to stripping, fear of the dark, dumb risks, Johnny Cash impersonations, paranoia, despair, death, etc. Depending on your mood this can be outstanding or overwhelming. Drunkenness and a bad mood are encouraged.

Teengenerate- Get Action!

Why this is not considered a punk rock classic is beyond me. Is it too rock? Too lo-fi? Too straight ahead? Americans don't like it when they can't understand the lyrics?
If you think any of those I would venture to guess that you don't like (early) punk rock and/or you take yourself and your ideas about what is "punk" far too seriously.
They remind me of the Saints (and they were obsessed with early Australian punk) and the Dead Boys...if you sped their records up and added plenty of distortion to the whole thing.
Full fucking throttle.
They included a cover of the Pagans "Six and Change" only on the LP, which I am including separately (sequenced between "Human Tornado" and "Plastic Man"). FYI the LP is still available from Crypt Germany (along with many other great records).
If you don't enjoy this, I feel sorry for you.
