An amazing Jonder covers project

SO appropriate as my baby is leaving for the university of Akron in three weeks! So a cover version of the best album from Akron's best band is just what the doctor ordered!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tracks 1-11 of my Devo covers collection are in debut LP order, followed by some later Devo songs. There are some great remakes here, including the band Catherine (with Chris Connelly) turning "Come Back Jonee" into a Bowiesque ballad, and a mashup of Devo's GUT
Feeling" with a monologue by the late great comedian Bill Hicks.

My personal favorites are Superchunk's razor-sharp "Girl U Want" and the Hex Dispensers' version of "Gates Of Steel". "The Day Josh Homme Gave Me A Surprise" by Brody Dalle (aka Spinnerette) is also quite good. And there's plenty of metal: Sepultura, Fight Amp, Big Business, Fu Manchu, and Ohio's own Croatan. If you've never heard the Del Rubio Triplets, they are as cringeworthy as the Shaggs or Mrs. Miller.
If "Whip It" is your only point of reference for Devo, you should grab the first three Devo albums plus Hardcore Devo, all of which Scott posted back in March.

An update on a recent post from Juke the Snip Donna
of interest!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Scott, I'd like to follow up on that John Gavanti album I shared.
I got the album at a bargain bin in the middle of nowhere for 12 bucks, by far the weirdest thing ever set to wax.
I have a lyric sheet for the mini-opera that came with the album, (it is difficult to understand the singers sometimes) I couldn't find it anywhere else online, so here you go:

Some more comics for you comics geeks!

Filling in the Husker Du gaps

guys like these as well.
First up, "Land Speed Record", which someone mentioned in the comments.....this was thier first full length, and if you are unfamiliar, it has next to nothing to do with classics like "Zen Arcade" and "Warehouse"......this is basic hardcore punk, played at amphetamine freak out speed......interesting and little else, to be honest. Certainly you'll wish to hear the "Theme From Gilligan's Island", though.
Next up, I have no idea where this one came from but I think it's KINDA rare, haven't seen it around much....a 1980 recording, "The Cassette Demos".......sounds just like what the title implies, but if you want it ALL, here you be!
Next up I have a live set from San Francisco, 1981, an early effort obviously, again, not quite the melodic post-punk/metal that we know and love this band for, but the seeds are there, and, again, I don't THINK I've seen a whole lot of these around.
The centerpiece here is the two-disc "Complete Covers", this smells of a homemade project, as the sound quality varies a good bit from track to track, but the cover ALL KINDS of shit (as they always did, of course)......we have shit from The Hollies, Donovan, The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, The Kingsmen. Black Sabbath, Roy Orbison and TONS more......an ABSOLUTE find for fans of this great band!

Sexty Sexers

Basically pretty good Spanish language/English blended metal/stoner rock, goes pretty damn hard all the way through, the vocals aren't maybe the greatest, but it DOES rock hard, in particular the fairly slammin' closer "So We Died".....
Been a little while since I just grabbed a handfull of random CD's and threw them up here, but that's kind of what I'm feeling today, and first up are the Sexty Sexers!

Totally Personal.......

hadn't met Madame Angela to keep me grounded/sane, I don't know what the fuck I'd do.........anyway, I want to dedicate a particular record to my ex......there are several good "breakup" albums out there, tow of the best are Afghan Whigs amazing "Gentlemen", and Lou Reed's psychotic "Berlin".......both of these albums deal with semi- to totally-deranged relationships, anyone who really lived out the "Berlin" scenario deserves a medal......
Anyway today I do have Local H's fantastic "Twelve Angry Months", a tremendous look at a deteriorating relationship, told one month at a time (ie: January "The One With Kid" finds them splitting their record collection......btw the reason for the song title: "Where's my Zeppelin CD's? I know you took em, you know you did, where's my Pretenders record, you know, the one with "Kid"?)........but to my soon to be former, I'd like to dedicate the lyric (same song), "baby if you would do me a favor, fall off of the earth and I'll see you later, just give me a call, and tell me you miss me A CALL I WON'T RETURN"........
Anyway, this is a fantastic album, I picked it as the BEST of 2010 or 2011 or whenever it came out, it is TOTALLY great you will see, and I am going to include the lyrics to "The One With Kid" as they are so magnificent......
And when there's no one left to lie to
FORCED

All the sides that you have battered and out grew
So baby could you do me a favor
fall off of the earth and I'll see ya later
just give me a call and tell me you miss me a call I wont return
So now which one is the owner of the friends we made together and how do we divide a city and the bars where we drank forever
So take this for granted you'll leave here empty handed my image of you shattered winning is all that matters I won't let you got our happyHOME

GIVE

Wheres my pretenders record you know the one the one with Kid
Wheres all my ACDCs my Interpol my Libertines
Wheres all my Kyuss recoreds you never liked them untill you met me
Sad stations frustrations
Barbed wire for coronation
My heart of glass 12 inches is scratched
No matter what its tossed in make sure
You leave with nothing won't stand and watch you get ourHOME

You got our home
You got our home
You got our home
You got our home
You got our home
My heart of glass is scratched
So take this forGRANTED

So hatefull so shameless
Won't let you leave here blameless
You know I can't take it
Wont laugh and smile and fake it
Your image of me shattered winning is all that matters
Oh god I can't stand it
You'll leave here empty handed
Can't stand here watch you get our home
You got our home
You got our home
You got our home
You got our home
You got our home

Yeah, "My Heart of Glass is Scratched", also a fab lyric, and here's the album, hope you enjoy it, it is 100% a 5-star classic!

Blue Oyster Cult REDUX!

served up here as supreme vinyl rips.....I have also included a slew of EARLY BOC boots, demos, etc, some Soft White Underbelly, lots of killer shit (I think they began to suck after "Secret Treaties" myself, although, they did give us an occasional "Don't Fear the Reaper" or "Burning For You".......but if you missed this goldmine the first time (2011?) don't be a dumbass and miss it again, this is MUST HAVE/MUST HEAR shit, and if you are a BOC fan, it is 100000% essential. Period! I am not fucking around here.....
Let's start out with the first three classic albums.....if you do not own them, please tell me why? BOC were not about that "Godzilla" nonsense, after all......take the amazing debut with the great ballad "Then Came the Last Days Of May" (four buddies set out to make a fortune in the dope biz, one makes his by wasting the other three....."They say the west is nice this time of year, it's what they say").....brrrrrr just amazing, and that isn't even counting "Before the Kiss, a Redcap" or "Cities on Flame With Rock n Roll".......
Album #2 is better if anything....."Tyranny and Mutation" includes the most amazing track transitions ever recorded, "Seven Screaming Diz-Busters"......."OD'd On Life Itself".....if you don't own this WHY? and here is a fine vinyl rip as well......NO excuses!
Album #3, "Secret Treaties", EVERY bit as good as the previous ones...."Dominance and Submission", "Astronomy", "ME 262", "Cagey Cretins"........it's a classic album AND again, another classic VINYL rip, these albums deserve to be heard in "vinyl"......
OK, other great stuff: Starting off with Soft White Underbelly, a pre-BOC version of BOC......fab shit just to be aware of......and after that, TONS of remixes, demos, live takes......hell look at the track lists below.....BOC was one of the world's best rock bands for a minute or two there......so appreciate them!

Another highly popular post from WAAAY back

with non-music posts and proved VERY popular, check it out and you'll see why. What we have here are thousands (or so) of concert posters, many of which are stunningly beautiful.....in particular, the "Stoner" file which contains many (most?) of the 2000's stoner bands who had some really cool neo-psychedelic artwork on their posters (actually a lot of stuff in this file is NOT stoner bands, there is all kinds of stuff in here and most of it is visually stunning)
The "Concert Posters" file contains a lot of the classic 1960's artwork, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground and loads more.......a fine collection. Both of these files are huge, requiring them to be split, but there is a LOT of tremendous stuff here, if you love rock n roll artwork this is the ultimate colletion.

which features even more of the vintage 1960's artwork from the Fillmores and elsewhere, really, these are, like the others, simply stunning, tremendously dated, just wonderful stuff.
I'm going to put up one more that I may or may not have posted before, but it will go well with the U-Spaces psychedelic Promos and Radio Spots set from a couple days ago......this is a file of ads, not for concerts or the like but more along the lines of, say, magazine ads for a new album release or someone endorsing some product......the file states these are from 1964-74, and, like the others I think this is way cool. Again, a HUGE file, with more stuff in it than you could imagine.
The concert posters have been requested as a re-up MANY times, and I've never done it......well here they are, please don't miss these files they are ALL pretty damn cool!

(scott again) btw thanks to EVERY band and artist in the world who lives in the real world/era, who GETS IT and shares their music through outlets such as Bandcamp or our little blog here, it is YOU who are the future of the recording industry, NOT neo-nazis who wish for FEWER people to hear their work. Thanks to Fox Reactions and everyone else who create good music AND are proud enough of it that they feel confidant in letting people HEAR it!

The Work of Salvatore Dali

Anyway he was a genius, about 1000 or so years ahead of his time, and I am quite a fan of modern and post modern paintings.......love the stuff really, and have a vault full......make a request, lets see what we can do for ya
Trying to keep the variety alive, loving music #1 of course, but there is so much MORE stuff to share out there, and only one lifetime in which to do so.
