Another fine John N submission, this from Acid Ghost, who ominously name thier new release "WARHOL", it's plenty creepy AND arty, I'm loving the hell out of it right now, really good album.......more of that spacey/noisy/shoegaze sound that I love so much (YOU know that by NOW right?).....anyway, this album is tremendous, I'm listening this minute, it is fucking fab......you WILL want to investigate this one, it totally fits in with the amazing "future of rock" stuff that I (and I ONLY) see as the next "thing".....genius is often ahead of it's time, all I can say!

And again, compliments of John N (talk about someone with his finger on the pulse) comes another trippy
shoe-gaze epic, the kind that yer uncle considers to be the BEST in current rock n roll......Death Valley Rally have given us a areally fine album, "Northern Lights"......I've been loving the hell out of it today, hope you enjoy it as well......great shit, GREAT, and STILL i my lame opinion THE rock n roll "scene" of "now", and the immediate future.....man I love this stuff. The more anyone wishes to submit, the better!

If you’re a fan of the old style guitar with shimmering chords and indie style barre chord progressions over a driving beat then Death Valley Rally are the ones to go to.  “Northern Lights” is out now via Custom Made Music.

(scott) From the area of Easthampton Massachuesset, comes another John N submittal....John N, of late, seems to be in tune with the kind of modern-rock that I have adapted to as the soundtrack of the '10's, that fine, noisy, ambient, space/shoe-gaze.......really been enjoying this stuff and here is more, the band Kindling with their LP "Everywhere Else".....here's their Bandcamp info, etc.......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dead Vibrations

(scott) Here's a killer hard psych EP sent our way, generously as ever, from John N.....this from the modern day psych combo "Dead Vibrations" ("Reflections" EP, 2016)......again more of that '10's sound that I enjoy so much, noisy and trippy and spacey......this is a pretty good one, recommend further investigation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"Dead Vibrations burst onto the booming Stockholm music scene in April of 2015. Crossing the boundaries between Shoegaze, Neo- Psychedelia and Rock 'n' Roll, their angst-ridden guitars, thundering drums, and distorted bass take the classic reverb-drenched sound to a new dimension."

After that batch of the first 5 Iron maiden discs, they continued to trudge onward, knocking out a slew of
material, occassionally slamming home a stone-cold metal classic, more often moving toward numbing Blackmore Sabbath material.....still, they were kings of 1980's UK metal, and I have a bit, so let us here some more Maiden loudness, live, rare, and more to come later on........

So who is up for some insane early 90's trans-disco? well, this is a pretty good one as those things go......I hope you know who Divine is (see: John Waters films, notably "Polyester" and "Pink Flamingos" among others......this is MUCH better than I'm sure you might be expecting, if you were  a fan of this type of  gay-disco, this may be for you....I think it's pretty listenable, and I thought it was high time I shocked with some of the REAL variety in which I indulge......hey I'm listening to it right now, NOT a disco fan, BUT this is a pretty unique and quirky find should any of you find this scene of interest.....me, I can take small doses of it, really quite listenable once or twice and really quite likeable/catchy........see what ya think......this blog is about a LOT of things, and I am going with this one today.......thanks to John N for having the stones to submit this one!

A real good submittal from John N, this forgotten Ash concert from 1997 rocks like a mofo, never heard this one before, but lordy be it rocks like fuck, sort of a a modern-stoner sound merged with some of the cool, still to come shoegaze stuff......really like this one, a soart oaf semi-forgotten-classic......a really good treat here, thanks to John N this is a really good rocking album!

So here is another batch....if I read it correctly, I THINK we have the entire 1981 run, as well as some
random 82/83/84 issues that I happen to have on my hard drive......I love classic Playboy, hope you do as well, that stuff is as timeless as the music I try to get to ya......anyway, Playboy was/is/always will be a favae of mine, enjoy these and I will sometime soon post a bunch more of em for ya......btw, has ANYONE seen an issue of Playboy since they decided

to stop picturing naked babes? I haven't, but I'm gonna go on record as saying it is likely the worst corporate idea since "New Coke".......honestly, why would FEWER naked chicks EVER be a good thing? I mean, REALLY? EVER? I just kinda happaen to LIKE naked chicks.......





                                                           

This One Band Has a New Studio Effort

John N is the king of obscure bands like this, they kind of remind me of a band that Jon S sent me a couple live recordings of a while back.......this one sounds like some foreign guys, maybe kind of older, their sound is pretty familiar,but as for their name, well, what's in a name? I'll tell you this though, sometimes I say snatch up these "unknown" combos QUICKLY, and I mean so double in THIS case. The album is titled, well, I can't find the album title either, but I hope none of you fine folks are blue today, or lonesome either.....but if ya are, here's an album by an unknown band to maybe perk up your spirits........besides, they gather no moss, right?

UNKNOWN ALBUM TITLE-01  ‘Just Your Fool’, ‘Commit A Crime’, ‘Blue And Lonesome’, ‘All Of Your Love’, ‘I Gotta Go’, ‘Everybody Knows About My Good Thing’, ‘Ride ‘Em On Down’, ‘Hate To See You Go’, ‘Hoo Doo Blues’, ‘Little Rain’, ‘Just Like I Treat You’, ‘I Can’tQUIT You 

Courtney Love

I LOVE Hole, one of my faves.....I did a BIG post on them long ago, thinking of breaking it out again,a but
in the meantime, I have a couple of things to say about Courtney Love......obviously her best work was with Hole, "Live Through This" is a 1990's 5-star classic.....but I want to speak in defense of "America's Sweetheart", which I think was the best album of the year (whatever year that was, 2004? or so)......Courtney has repeatedly dissed the album, I think it is a 4.5 star classic as well....it's a tremendous album, a portrait of a life in turmoil, in particular the song "All the Drugs" (sample lyric: "All of my money, all of my love, all of my money......doesn't feel as good.........AS THE DRUGS".......) great song, I love iat, iat's desperate and heartfelt....also on the album, a way cool stalker anthem ("But Julian I'm a Little Bit Older Than You"), and my personal fave "Zeppelin  Song", which sums up a sad life with a lot of Led Zeppelin references, GREAT song IMO......lots more on this album too, sorry Courtney didn't like it so much, but I find it to be a stone cold 00's classic.

Also included is the early version on of "Nobody's Daughter"......not a great album, but has a moment or two........stay tuned, in the next week or 2 I'll have some great Hole boots, also some stuff like Ms Love drunk on someone's answering machine, and her loopy speech at Kurt's funeral......plus some of the best music of the era as Hole were a simply phenominal live band.......at The Columbus Agora many years ago, Ms Love stage-dived into the crowd and I got to touch that magnificent ass.......for which I am grateful as fuck.

AMERICAS SWEETHEART-01 Mono/02 But Julian, I'm a Little Bit Older Than You/03 Hold Onto Me/04 Sunset Strip/05 All the Drugs/06 Almost Golden/07 I'll Do Anything/08 Uncool/09 Life Despite God/10 Hello/11 Zeplin Song/12 Never Gonna Be the Same

NOBODYS DAUGHTER EARLY VERSION-01 Pacific Coast Highway/02 For Once In Your Life/03 Letter to God/04 Stand Up Moatherfucker/05 Loser Dust/06 Dirty Girls/07 Never Go Home Alone/08 Nobody's Daughter/09 Happy Ending Story/10 Car Crash/11 Sunset Marquis (Piano Version)/12 Samanatha (Demo)

MORE Courtney/Hoale to come, soon......one of my fave bands, and one of the great 90's live acts......you will see soon!

A Berlin album you may not know

0
0
I always liked Berlin, in particular that first album with "The Metro", "Sex (I'm A)", M
"Masquarade" and more, it's a great LP.......here is a later one from 1982 entitled "Young Warrior".....this is a good album as well, not as good as the debut, but criminally underappreciated....this is a good, and fairly unknown early 80's power pop/synth rock album, it is worth a spin....no classic, by any means.....(DOES remind me that I should get some of my live Berlin stuff put up soon, Terri Nunn was quite a vixen live....anyway, she doesn't seem to appear on this album, although it is still worth at least a single listen....give it a try.....

YOUNG WARRIOR-01 Nervous/02 There's Always a Danger/03 Young Warrior/04 Walking With the Shadows/05 All For One/06 Strange Love/07 My World Is Empty Without You/08 I Don't Want to Think About It/09 Waiting For Night/10 Real Love

Something of a guilty pleasure for me, this sounds nothing like the "Terri Nunn" Berlin, BUT it's still a good listen, and a fine early 80's period piece......I really like it, we just need to think of two "different" Berlins, and they might both be worth our time!

Dark Shadows Comics........awesome

(scott) When I was in grade school, I would rush home to watch a soap opera! Not just any soap, though, a
"great" (sarcasm) one with vampires, werewolves, witches, time travel, etc......OH FUCK YES......COLLINSPORT, MAINE!!!!!!!!!!    FUCKING "Dark Shadows".....the shit was quite popular, there were paperback books, movies, tons of shit for a while (Barnabas Collins was an icon for a while)......BUT there were a ton of Comics, and I think I have MOST of them here.....some strips, unsure as to where they are from, but the Gold Key Comic Series, I think ALL are here, if not, help find the outliers......but I wanted some non-music stuff for a minute, and I been thinking about Dark Shadows of late, even dragging out some DVD's to watch (Ya may not have known I have damn near every DVD in the world as well as CD's).......fucking Dark Shadows comics, it will be for a "special niche", but I bet someone LOVES this post, and THAT is what we be here for!

(scott)Yes always room for more Clash boots, Lewdd has, of course, sent us a tonne of them, here are three
more, and I feel obligated to tell you, again, that SOME of these don't sound great, as he keeps them for archival reasons....however, SOME of them are awesome, perhaps even rarely heard, I hope there is someone out there collecting all these (as well as any non-overlap ones that were on the magnificent Jon S Clash submittal too, and MY OWN Clash deluge from a year or two back.....this may be damn near every Clash boot known to man!)  Lewdd has LOTS more great stuff for us too, not only the Chistmas comps, either,  wait until 2017 "40th Anniversary Sex Pistols  Tour" on which we will present each show on the actual 40th anniversary date.......I'll always wish I had a video of the New Orleans show where that chick pulled down Sid's pants and tried to give him head and......well, I'll bet we find a video of it before the time comes! Enjoy some more Clash, the ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!!!!!!!

(scott) Not one that is familiar to old Scott, but I trust the judgement of John N (and the rest of the team) to
send quality material.......John N describes this as "A garage-y, guitar pop band from Melbourne", sounds good enough that I'm gonna post it, and I haven't even carpet bombed this one yet......however, this blog is about new/different, old/different stuff, FAR more about the contributors than myself, and I will listen to this tonight, and offer my opinion......for now, be grateful that John N continues to send magnificent music our way......I'm betting on this to be another winner!

(scott) I always loved The Bangles, and just minutes ago, John N sent me a fab comp of music they created
before they went big time ("Walk Like an Egyptian"), anyway, this is and always were a great band.....I thank John N so much for sending me this one, love me some Bangles, and I will attach the review he sent along, as these need a LITTLE explanation for those who are late-comers to the Bangles party......this is GREAT shit, not "Good", but GREAT, please take time to listen to this fab comp, it WILL be worth your while, and make sure and thank John N because he continues to send us such incredible music......he is THE fucking man.

Tremendous stuff here, please listen and comment, it's fab!

Long before “Walk Like an Egyptian” soared to number one in the late ’80s, The Bangles were a group of girls playing melodic garage rock as part of LA’s Paisley Underground movement. Now a collection of their earliest recordings reveals the raw origins that led to their mainstream success.
Perhaps the most surprising element of Ladies and Gentlemen… is the vast knowledge and appreciation for Nuggets rock. The opening “Bitchen Summer/Speedway,” recorded asThe Bangs for a Rodney on the ROQ comp, explodes with some fierce instrumental surf, a welcome, but unexpected, introduction for a band that dominated Billboard years later. When the jangly punch of their first 7” (also released as The Bangs) hits next, theMonkees vibe of “Getting out of Hand” and early Jam attack of “Call on Me” make more sense. Next, their first EP, produced by Craig Leon of Ramones/Blondie fame, shows a more refined band eager to blend Beatles harmonies with the edgier Nuggets sound, particularly when they launch into a sneering cover of The La De Das’ “How Is the Air up There?” that fully captures the snide disgust of the original. Demos from 1981 contain more impressive covers, like the Warren Zevon-penned Turtles single, “Outside Chance” and Paul Revere and the Raiders’ proto-punk “Steppin’ Out.” A couple live recordings from 1984 further espouse the punk sensibility, especially the thunderous version of Love’s “7 and 7 Is.” It ends with a couple radio spots that prove the group could have fun in any setting.
The Bangles would go on to achieve chart success, but, of course, we know all about that. Hear them in a different light and discover a band you may have completely ignored.

John N sends some amazing Zimmerman

(scott), well, this is truly a gem, I doubt anyone will argue that....we area gonna have to be CAREFUL with
this one, and if it sounds good to ya, maybe WORK FAST.......I'm going to attach the review that John N sent with it for you, I just want to be careful and leave this up as long as it will stay, because John N has sent some OTHER Zimmerman stuff that will amaze you, that will come around a bit later, but for now, please be careful, I had a ballplayer once when I was coaching baseball, same age as my son Grant, his name was Dillon Watkins......what I'm trying to say here is Dillon Watkins REALLY wouldn't like you to mention his first name around here, or TOO many of his lyrics/titles.

 The title of The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert is a nod to the fact that the famous bootleg known as The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert was actually recorded at the Manchester Free Trade Hall on May 17, 1966. The historical record was corrected when the concert was released as the second installment in Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series in 1998 (it's labeled the fourth volume, but the first three editions were all rounded up in a 1991 box), so when it came to release a sampler album from the mammoth 36-disc set The 1966 Live Recordings, the only option was to release The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert, a show given on May 26, 1996. This double-disc set follows the same contours of the Manchester Free Trade Hall show, offering the acoustic set on the first disc and the electric on the second. Furthermore, the set lists are identical, so The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert feels a bit like a mirror image of the Manchester Free Trade Hall. Like on Manchester, the acoustic set is quite good, but it's overshadowed by an electric set that feels wild and alive. Perhaps the performance isn't as epochal as The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert, but it offers similar thrills and pleasures, and that's enough for any Dylan fan who wants to hear more music from this rich period.
