Damned - Dodgy Demo
![]() 1979 Dodgy Demo Company
The Damned's "Love Song" has to be one of the best punk rock songs of all time and, in my estimation, qualifies as one of the best "rock" songs of all time as well. It's really a perfect song; great melodies, great guitar parts, attitude to spare, speed, and a perfect arrangement. The fact that they were able to inject some clever humor into the whole mess via Vanian's tongue-in-cheek lyrics is an added bonus as well. According to the excrutiatingly detailed Damned Discography, this 7" "was given away free at the bands gigs at the Croydon Greyhound, London on 7 January 1979 and the Electric Ballrom, London on 23 January 1979" several months ahead of the official release of the "Love Song" single on the Chiswick label. Both tracks are demo versions. The b-side, "Burglar", is pure novelty and features drummer Rat Scabies on vocals. I remember reading somewhere that a certain Damned performance in D.C. had had a profound impact on that city's then fledgling scene. Makes sense to me. You can really hear the echos of "Love Song" and some other Damned tunes, such as "Melody Lee", in material from bands like Scream, Minor Threat, and Black Market Baby.

![]() it was very hard to find info about this record (i don't even remember where i got it from). it's considered to be a fluxus compilation, containing 8 takes on the lullaby by: doris hays, annea lockwood, ilhan mimaroglu, daniel goode, tom johnson, pauline oliveros, alison knowles, ann silsbee. i 'm pasting from the inside cover: "emotion has an old definition: being moved in cooscillation with another being. caring enough to take the time to soothe, console, urge, comfort, cajole - impulse of the lullaby, and of the love song. singer, sung and sung - to become one in the mind congruent with the urges and surges of the body chatting to oneself and to the world. In the desire for peace, lull music is the nonviolent person's basic song." file http://autov3rs3.blogspot.com/ |
Head of David - Dustbowl
![]() Head of David were an experimental heavy metal act whose sound helped pave the way for the subsequent industrial, grindcore, and noise rock genres. Hailing from the town of Dudley, just a few miles outside the city of Birmingham in the heart of England's so-called Black Country, Stephen R. Burroughs (vocals), Eric Jurenovski (guitar), Dave Cochrane (bass), and Paul Sharp (drums) were clearly influenced by the region's heavy industry and depressed economy during the mid-'80s when formulating Head of David's grimy and oppressive sound. This sound was potent enough to make an immediate impact upon the release of their first two efforts in 1986: September's Dogbreath EP and October's simply named LP, which remarkably climbed to number three on the U.K. indie charts and was followed in July of 1987 by the live Shit Hits the Fan, which made it to number 21. That year also saw then-Napalm Death guitarist - and future Godflesh and Jesu mastermind - Justin Broadrick become Head of David's drummer, joining them on-stage and in the studio for the Saveana Mixes EP, 1988's Steve Albini-produced (and, amazingly, Americana-influenced) Dustbowl album, and 1989's John Peel Sessions collection, White Elephant. Unfortunately, the group's tense internal chemistry finally gave way to an implosion at this point, with Cochrane decamping to join God and Broadrick launching his signature project, Godflesh, while Burroughs and Jurenovski soldiered on with new bassist Bipin Kumar for one final Head of David album, 1991's Seed State. In the aftermath of their demise, the group's legacy has regrettably been reduced to a cult level, but Head of David's influence remains alive and kicking in countless subsequent industrial metal acts like Pitchshifter, Fear Factory, Rammstein, and beyond.

At last the mystery is solved! Wassonii has unearthed a Coil gig from 1983. It was at the Magenta Club 0n August 4 1983 and features the exact same version of Red Weather as is on the tape that Jhonn sent me all those years ago. The guy was a genius. It's just not right that he's not around any more.:( |

Oh, I'm so good to you!
Have a bit of this, why dontcha! Throbbing Gristle - The Desertshore Installation Between June 1 and 3 this year, TG set up a recording studio in the ICA and invited the public to come and watch/listen to them recording the raw material for their next album, which is going to be a cover of Nico's 'Desertshore' album. I was lucky enough to be in the audience for the last of the six, two hour sessions (wish I could have been at the rest -couldn't afford it). So when I heard that TG were going to release a limited run of a recording of all 12 hours I just had to have one. Ebay had been kind to me in the preceding couple of weeks and I had the required £100 in my Paypal account, so it felt like I was getting it for free! This is the first hour of the first session. If you like it, I'll put the rest up - eventually. Enjoy. Disc 1 of 12 http://rapidshare.com/files/50857617...istle.rar.html |
Wow, now I know where the reference for Stereolab/NWW's "Simple Headphone Mind" was taken from.
Thanks! |

Dead Reptile Shrine- A Journey Through the Darkest of Forests/Isth Narai Ja
![]() If I am in the mood for satan, I like my black metal weird. And in this dark kingdom, where hordes of cookie monster vocalists, double bass drummers, and power chords pervade, I need something more. Which is why Dead Reptile Shrine are by far and away my favorite. I often compare them to Harry Pussy- if Harry Pussy broke up their records with ambient interludes, chanting monks, and the sounds of crackling fire. Case in point: Listen to Harry Pussy + I Don't Care About Sleep Anymore Listen to Dead Reptile Shrine + Exekutioner of the Final Solution Listen to Dead Reptile Shrine + Diabolical Plague Their recordings are pretty much impossible to find- and usually go quick at the few outposts in the U.S. which carry them (Aquarius, Hospital Productions). For that reason, I am making the entirety of their album A Journey Through the Darkest of Forests and Isth Narai Ja available. Download dead reptile shrine.zip ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is quite possibly the most fucked up thing I have ever heard. It almost reminds me of Jandek in a psycho-loner sort of way. Hooray! Great band name too. --Beard |

more feeling
Have you guys heard Zappa’s Roxy and Elsewhere? In the preamble to Cheepnis he says “Let me tell you something, do you like monster movies?… I love monster movies”. So those of you who know Roxy, it is this voice that I am trying to reproduce in my head when I am saying to you “let me tell you something, do you like solo sax records?… I love solo sax records, I simply adore solo sax records, and the cheaper they are, the better they are”. Some of the older visitors know that Arthur Doyle is my man. In the world of solo sax blowouts he stands apart. I guess it takes balls of highest density to get out there with no band behind you and blow your heart out like this... Things are not as they seem, world is falling apart, more feeling is needed now and there’s no better proof than this record. Collect them all my friends. ![]() Arthur Doyle Plays More Alabama Feeling Ecstatic Peace E#29 1. Hao (A. Doyle) 2. Nature Boy (E. Ahbez) Recorded in 1990 More_Alabama_Feeling.rar |

good. thanks man, too bad that's a tape.
this blog makes me cream my pants from times to times, visit it, you wont regret, there's a little something for everyone. over there you can find gems like this, definetly not their best album but i guess this gives you an idea from what those guys are up to. Chrome - The Visitation (Rare 1st Album) Siren Records (US) Cat. No. DE-1000 The first Chrome album is a blend of 70s psych art rock weirdness hinting at the psych-punk vibes that were soon to come with classic albums "Alien Soundtracks" & "Half Machine Lip Moves." </SPAN></SPAN> Formed by Gary Spain (bass, guitar, vocals) and Damon Edge in 1976. The band also featured John Lambdin (vocals, guitar and bass) and Mike Low (guitar, synth, and bass). John Lambdin I've heard spent some time in the early 70s playing with the legendary japanese band Flower Travellin' Band. The first Chrome release is particularly collectable due to the many variations of covers, labels, and inserts. The first spray-painted cover releases included 3 inserts, all of which are quite rare. The initial pressings had a plain looking white label with black text. Perhaps accidentally omitted from the label was "Siren Records", which was subsequently added with a rubber stamp. The second pressing incorporated "Siren Records" pre-printed on the label. Later pressings used an entirely re-designed label featuring silver hand-written text on a black background, typical of the labels used on the next several albums. Most, if not all of these black-labeled records were released with the picture sleeve. All three of these "original" releases of The Visitation were from the same mould (matrix# Kendun DE-1000). Highly Recommended! I've included a bunch of the early artwork/xeroxes with the album. Chrome - Return to Zanzibar Download here, |

Sorry. I don't think it's been released on CD. I bought it at a TD gig in Deptford many moons ago. I was going to rip my cassette of Ecstacy Under Duress, but I found out that it's had a CD release so I didn't bother. |
i was talking about the record sound quality. thanks. ecstasy under duress is also live stuff?

Yes. But a better recording. |

This record is a FUCKING MONSTER. EXCELLENT. |
After a quick google search for Dead Reptile Shrine, I was quickly greeted with a DRS cassette cover featuring an unmistakable Nazi eagle logo prominent on the cover. Didn't pick up on the song title "Exekutioner of the Final Solution" until seeing the record cover.
Looks like DRS is pretty blatantly NSBM (National Socialist Black Metal). I was thinking about posting this to my blog, but now I'm having reservations. The record is musically excellent... raw, crude, unhinged... unlike any other BM I've heard. Pretty unique. But i can't support the politics involved. It's one thing to support a band such as Burzum, who's Varg Vikernes is an avowed white supremacist, but keeps the politics out of his music... There are quite a few NSBM bands who, for some reason, label themselves as NSBM but do not appear to involve their political message within their releases, either via artwork or lyrics. Still, I can't support this kind of stuff. Bummer, I thought they were cool... |

I can understand you're not wanting to endorse that sort of thing - I was the same for a while - but throw a stone in the annals of music and you'll find someone with reprehensible opinions. Personal choice thing, but I find it harder and harder to muster up the energy to protest. I also find it very easy to download records, rather than buy and directly endorse, bands whose opinions may be politically motivated to the extent of money from the records going to militant organisations - I quite like Prussian Blue, but there's no way they're getting my money, as a for instance. |
I suppose you're right... if anything, I'd be "stealing" from them... even though this record has been sold out for a while. I also don't see black metal as a very effective recruiting tool.

Thanks all of you. I've downloaded some stuff off this thread but hadn't much time to give it a listen. I'll do so at one point.

Quote:
That's quite a good observation that you've made there. I seriously doubt that any organisation that is actively promoting far-right ideas would really have some black metallers in their ranks. I mean, certainly not a political party that wants to be taken seriously, if I'm making sense. |
Quote:
I'm going to start a new thread for this point, as I'm not sure we've been over the whole politics/ music thing for a while. |
Quote:
Yeah, let's have a stimulating thread for a change. Go for it. |

What, are you perhaps suggesting that the endless threads about half-understood notions of things that probably aren't important and badly-written 'Whits you'er favrite frigge/ freezer manufocturar?' type threads aren't stimulating? |
Cross Current - A Rough Trade Greatest Hits Compilation.
Released in the early 80's on the Base Record label, under licence from Rough Trade. Base Records was the label that released all the Italian versions of the Joy Division albums. The album includes tracks by The Fall, Blue Orchids, Zounds and Nightingales, and it's not a bad snapshot of the early 80's indie scene in the UK. Sorry, no cover artwork. The cover is too big to fit under my scanner, and there's nothing on google. http://rapidshare.com/files/52645337...rrent.rar.html Enjoy. Still to come: Funky Alternatives 1 (23 Skidoo, Tackhead, New Order etc) You Bet We've Got Something Against You (Current 93, Sonic Youth, The Anti Group etc) |

Cupol - Like This For Ages/Kluba Cupol EP, 1980 ![]() Another NWW List Wire/Dome offshoot. Consists of one shorter track (about four minutes) and a 20 minute instrumental, stretched out reworking of the previous track. This is great stuff; if you like Dome/Wire or just experimental post-punk in general you should like it. The tracks carry a sense of hopeless dread with them and much of the instrumentation sounds very ritual and repetitive (in a good way). This goes beyond Wire's post-punk... |
