The Numero Group is a label not to be missed. Just like with any genre, you have the major players and you have the other artists and bands who come in behind the major players. Some of them find their place in the history books eventually, and so many others fall into the darkness of obscurity. This label has gone to great lengths to find many of the soul and funk artists of the 50s, 60s, and 70s and put them together into a compilation series called Eccentric Soul. This is definitely one of the best series I've ever run into, right up there with Ethiopiques and Nuggets. This is the first disc in the series, and I believe they are up to about 20 or more now. Every one I've heard is worth owning. So check this out, then go out and buy the series, you won't regret it! In the meantime, hear this one by CLICKING HERE!

Demonoid follow-up

I finally got a Demonoid account.

In case you're interested, I got it on a Saturday night and it's my understanding that that is the most likely time to find open registration. I'm hoping to get things from there soon and get them here soon after.

Good luck!

Demonoid?

So I've been trying for a long time, in vain, to get a Demonoid account.

Can anyone help me out?

So I was going to wait a while to post this because it was way down on my list, but then I heard it and was totally blown away by the best remastering work I've ever heard. This is the best I've ever heard Devo, and I was lucky to find this. It's going for over $200 on Amazon, but believe me, I'll be paying that when I have that kind of money to spend on it. Until then, you can hear it RIGHT HERE!!!

Someone Up There Hates Me

I'm 23 years old now, and I've been a Mac user since I was at least six years old (if not younger).

Two days ago, for the first time in all those years, my Mac hard drive crashed. Big time. I lost everything. I lost some photos that I hadn't backed up. I lost some personal writings. And I lost a lot of music that I was going to upload here. About 200 albums to be precise. It's not a terribly big deal, though, because I uploaded most of the ones that I had wanted to.

The computer crashing thing does still suck, but it's hardly the worst thing in the world. My next post is going to be another big one and it's going to be a great one! Check back in two days to see what it is!

President Obama

When Barack Obama came to speak in the town that I live, I got to sit behind him during the speech. Then, as he walked by us and shook all of our hands, I said to him, "I'd be proud to call you my President!" He smiled, just like in that photo. And I am even more proud today than I thought I could ever be.

Thank you, Indiana.

Thank you, USA.

Better days are ahead.

Welcome, President Barack Obama!

This is an astounding box set. Get all five discs from one easy link RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!

Maybe not essential to your rock 'n roll collection, but definitely essential to your Clash collection. This is Joe Strummer growing up, playing songs that were his stepping stones to The Clash. This band is how Mick Jones met him and the rest is history. There are some great songs on here, but a lot of it is just Joe Strummer just revving up to be in his creative explosion, only a few months away. I have one vinyl of theirs, repressed unfortunately, but I definitely recommend this CD over the vinyl, there's more here. Get it HERE!!!

Clearwater Ahead, Indeed

Some great news everyone!

For one, I got a new iPod for birthday, which can hold, like, a million times as much music as my last one. So I am quickly trying to fill it up, and it's fantastic!

Secondly, I got my CD drive fixed, so I have also been spending hours upon hours of the last month or so uploading albums, collections, and videos. I have an awful lot uploaded already that will be making its way onto the blog soon.

Spread the word of this blog, because I'm deliberately trying to get things out there that you won't find elsewhere. The Mark E. Smith documentary is a perfect example of that!

I am also currently trying to get the entire 15-CD set of Hank Williams' Mothers Best radio recordings downloaded through a torrent. It's been over a week and so far I'm at 58.5%, and right now it's in dead water. As soon as I have it up here, so then will you. They just released, this week as a matter of fact, a 3-CD set of select recordings from those, but that's only 3 CDs out of 15. I would happily buy the 15 CD set, quite frankly. However, they're not giving me the 15, so I'm getting it where I can.

Thank you all for the comments! Every comment is one more reason to keep doing this! Thanks again!

The Associates - The Affectionate Punch

5. Transport To Central
6. Matter of Gender
7. Even Dogs In the Wild
8. Would I Bounce Back
9. Deeply Concerned
10. A

I found out about this band through The Smiths. I was reading about a song called "William, It Was Really Nothing," and supposedly the song is about the lead singer of this band. I had never heard of The Associates before, so I figured they were worth a listen. This is the only album I've heard so far, but so far I like them an awful lot! So, if nothing else, this is a good introductory album. Enjoy!!

Television - Summerstage (06/16/2007)

Disc 1:
1. Introduction
2. 1880 Or So
3. Balloon
4. Venus
5. Little Johnny Jewel
6. Prove it
7. Frustration

Disc 2:
1. Glory
2. The Sea
3. Persia
4. Marquee Moon

This band should really do some international touring as a reunion project. For one, so I can finally see them play live. Secondly, there are so many bands doing it, but Television is one of the few bands that could pull it off without it being embarrassing. This bootleg proves that they still have it and that they still can rip on guitar like no other, and why so many bands are failing at trying to mimic their sound and their chemistry. With limited space on my hard drive, I don't keep bootlegs unless they're either of a special nature (like The Greedies bootleg I posted a while ago) or they're just really fucking good. This one is both. Get it RIGHT HERE!!!

Ahmad Jamal - At The Pershing (But Not For Me)

6. Poinciana
7. Woody 'N You
8. What's New?

Hello kids! Claudius is back! We're going to start with something different, but amazing nonetheless. I don't own very many jazz records, I'm slowly easing my way into the genre on all fronts. This is so far one of my very favorites, along with John Coltrane's "Ascension" and "A Love Supreme." In case you're wondering which one is Mr. Jamal, he's the pianist, and he will blow your mind. Get it HERE!

Reccomend some blogs to me!

So when I switched over to the new version of Firefox, a wonderful little thing happened: it deleted all of my bookmarked websites that were organized in a folder, including almost all of my favorite blogs.

So this is an open invitation to send me links to good blogs. In the comments section, put the address at the top of the page, and then give me a brief description of what the blog is like and what kinds of stuff they post.

I love old punk rock, the kinds of stuff that Punk Not Profit and Nuzz Prowling Wolf post. So stuff like The Lurkers, Sham 69, Eddie & the Hot Rods, etc. I also love old rock n roll, like Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. I love rhythm and blues groups like Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels and Spirit. I also love soul, funk, blues of all kinds (but primarily Mississippi delta blues), gospel (but definitely more like gospel from the chapel scene in The Blues Brothers), old honky tonk country, jazz, spoken word, bluegrass, classical, and folk music. I think that about covers it.

Looking forward to the recommendations!

Also, does anyone have any idea what ever happened to Nargo The Bort? I thought his bootleg concert video blog was one of the coolest things ever, but I only got to download two shows from it.

Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger alternate takes

1. Everybody Knows
2. Goodnight Rose
3. Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.
4. Pearls On A String
5. Tears of Gold
6. These Girls
7. Two

Goddamn, I love South Park. I found that picture on a blog, thought it was great. Not nearly as great as the Lego version of Mark E. Smith, though. Admittedly, this isn't the kind of thing I would normally post, but I like throwin' ya new things once in a while. These were hard to find for a while, but luckily I got in touch with someone who sent them to me and now I pass them on to you all. Ryan Adams recently released an album (but he's probably released twelve or more since then), called Easy Tiger, which is a pretty good album truth be told, and these are simply alternate versions of some of those songs. They're all good versions too. That's all there is to say about that. I saw him in concert a while back, and he was blitzed like you wouldn't believe. It was funny until he started playing 10+ minutes of stoner jam band solo stuff. But I digress. Get these alternate mixes by CLICKING HERE.

Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables

1. Kill the Poor
2. Forward to Death
3. When Ya Get Drafted
4. Let's Lynch the Landlord
5. Drug Me Get
6. Your Emotions
7. Chemical Warfare
8. California Uber Alles
9. I Kill Children
10. Stealing People's Mail
11. Funland at the Beach
12. I'll in the Head
13. Holiday in Cambodia
14. Viva Las Vegas

I may eventually post all of the Dead kennedys albums on here. I have no remorse whatsoever in doing so. The Dead Kennedys were what they were because of Jello Biafra, plain and simple. Jello was to the Dead Kennedys as Glenn Danzig was to the Misfits and Kurt Cobain was to Nirvana. The whole thing cannot function without that key member, though in two of those cases, the bands have exploited the name without the key member for monetary purposes only. So I suppose this is my protest to the members who betrayed Jello and have been ripping him off ever since then. Even Jello's replacement singer, who had many bad things to say about Jello, was eventually ripped off and betrayed by the same people. Fuck them. So here's your free copy of this brilliant album. This came out in 1979, I believe, which was the same year Jello Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco. He tells the whole story of that on the I Blow Minds For A Living spoken word album, it's a bad ass story! Get this album by CLICKING HERE!!

Disaster. Claudius will return soon

So through my last year or so of surfing through blogs and torrents and search engines, I amassed a pretty impressive amount of bootlegs. I found unreleased albums, top quality bootlegged live shows, rare songs, b-sides, out of print albums, and even unreleased high-quality concert videos.

I amassed so many that I needed an external hard drive on which to store them all until I could listen to them and pass them on to you. I also needed the hard drive for work projects and the like.

While I was doing some work at the studio, one of my worthless co-workers was reaching around my desk and not watching what he was doing. He leans back and elbows my hard drive, it falls three feet onto the floor. You want to guess what happened? You got, I lost everything. I lost albums, videos, and bootlegs that I had been collecting for months on end, many from blogs that don't exist anymore. This is not to mention that he destroyed at least 40 hours worth of work I had put into a project I was doing.

Did he say sorry? Of course not. Why would you apologize if you're a clumsy piece of shit who has better things to do than to try to make amends for ruining someone else's hours upon hours of work?

So..... I have a new hard drive. Luckily the company replaced it for free, but you can guess who had to pay the shipping cost. I'll give you a hint: it wasn't the asshole who broke it in the first place.

Okay, frustration partially vented.

The point is, I lost almost everything I wanted to give you folks and I've only been slowly rebuilding my collection. To boot, my DVD drive doesn't work anymore, so I can't just upload from my own legitimately-bought collection, I have to find stuff from other places.

I'll make this work and I'll get stuff up to you as soon as I can. I hope you all keep checking back!

Word spread of this blog apparently because I posted "Country On The Click," which was the original version of this album. When those versions leaked onto the internet originally back before the album's release, Mark E. Smith decided not to release any of those versions and the band went right back into the studio and re-did the whole album. The result was two extra versions of the same album. Well, more like one and a half versions. A few of the songs on here are alternate versions from its British counterpart. I personally prefer this version. Check it out HERE!

14. Cuckoo
15. Love Can Tame the Wild
16. He Went Down To the Sea

An underground classic rock 'n roll album. Another band that had much of the sound and the attitude of punk rock going for them before punk rock existed. This album is a hell of a lot of fun! Get it HERE!

The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E. Smith

I figured if I'd be making a comeback after all this time, it'd better be something pretty fuckin' cool. Well, I have exactly that, thanks to a torrent floating around very recently. I have for you fans the BBC documentary made very recently on your favorite frontman and mine, Mark E. Smith. It's more about The Fall than anything and its various incarnations, but obviously there's only one way to really do that. It's damn good for being as short as it is. I wish I could claim credit for the above Lego likeness of Mr. Smith, but alas, I found it floating around on the internet. Pretty cool, huh? Enough of that, check out the documentary RIGHT HERE!!!

A Punk Tribute To The Clash

1. Gene October - White Riot
2. Knox - Train In Vain
3. Mike Peters - White Man In Hammersmith Palais
4. Mike Peters - London Calling
5. Gene October - I Fought The Law
6. Micky Fitz - Police On My Back
7. Duncan "Kid" Reid - Complete Control
8. Nick Cash - Tommy Gun
9. Peter B. - Rock the Casbah
10. RTZ Global - Guns Of Brixton
11. Knox - Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
12. Charlie Harper - Police and Thieves
13. Micky Fitz - Clash City Rockers

A decent tribute with kind of a silly, but different, idea. Instead of having bands turn in their own versions of songs, they used one backing band throughout almost the entire thing and then brought on singers from various punk bands such as Chelsea, The Boys, The Business, The Vibrators, UK Subs, and more. Unfortunately, the two best performances on here are done by guys who did only one track each. Those two being the tracks with Reid and Harper. It's a fun comp all around, worth checking out RIGHT HERE!

10. Invasion
11. Always Tell the Voter What the Voter Wants To Hear
12. Come On Baby (Let's Do the Revolution)

14. Today's Sermon
15. Ah-Men
16. Mr. Heseltine Meets His Public
17. The Candidates Find Common Ground
18. Here's the Rest Of Your Life

Okay, I am back! Very sorry for the long hiatus! Before you heard "Tubthumping" so often you wanted to puke, this band was making anarcho-punk records. And good ones, at that. Their sound would continue to evolve until we got the dance hit that we all know and are sick of. They have been actively involved in some very righteous political organizations. Check it out! And listen to their first two releases by CLICKING HERE.

WANTED: Hank Williams' "Mother's Best" shows

For those who don't know, there exists hours upon hours of unreleased Hank Williams material. He did a weekly spot on a radio show called "Mother's Best" that were all recorded and only turned up about ten years ago in the hands of Legacy Recordings. Jett and Hank Jr. sued them as the company was rearin' to release them even though Hank's heirs own the rights to all of his recordings. Luckily, they won eventually, but they have yet to be officially released.

It's floating around out there, but it's getting difficult to find for some reason. At Uncle Gil's Rockin' Archives, you can get three CDs worth of songs that he never released anywhere else, but then there's about another 12 CDs worth of more recorded material (of songs that were released some where else at some time).

All of the torrents I found for the 15-CD set were all dead, and I found one blog with all of it, but most of the links were dead and apparently he was missing some songs. I'd like the whole kittenkabootle (I've never written that word anywhere before, ever, so I have no idea how to spell it).

Please help me in my Hank endeavors! Oh, and go HERE!

The Clash - Rockin' The Red Point

1. London Calling
2. Safe European Home
3. White Man In Hammersmith Palais

6. Clampdown
7. This Is Radio Clash
8. Armegideon
9. Jimmy Jazz
10. Tommy Gun
11. Police On My Back
12. White Riot

There are a lot of Clash live bootlegs out there, so I intend to be a bit selective with mine. This is a good quality bootleg from, what sounds like, the London Calling era. That is to say, the best era of the Clash. I'm not exactly sure where or when it was recorded, you can really only guess. This is a good live show, worth a listen. More to come later. Get this one HERE!

Andrew Bird - Soldier On EP

1. The Trees Were Mistaken
2. Sic of Elephants
3. The Water Jet Cilice
4. Plasticities remix
5. Heretics (early version)
6. Sectionate City excerpt
7. How You Gonna Keep 'Em Down On The Farm
8. Oh Sister

I looked this up a second ago, thinking that it was going to be difficult to find. Uhhh... nope. This is very very easy to find on other blogs. Oh well, I already uploaded it, so whatever. It was originally an EP released only on his European tour dates. This is a very cool EP. Not his best work by far, but there are a few choice cuts. Get it HERE!

Dangerhouse Vol. 2

1. The Alleycats - Give Me A Little Pain
2. The Alleycats - Too Much Junk

10. Rhino 39 - Xerox 12
11. Rhino 39 - No Compromise
12. The Avengers - Car Crash
13. The Randoms - ABCD
14. The Dils - Mr. Big

I am a huge fan of Slash Records. They brought us some of the best punk bands of all time, probably the second best punk label after SST. This is just a slice of their punk rock pie, and a damn tasty one at that. Every one of these bands are worth seeking out full albums for, this is just to wet your whistle a bit before you go purging your wallets for these (some of them are awfully rare). The first dangerhouse is excellent as well, I just don't own that one yet, but it's definitely worth finding as well. Get it RIGHT HERE!!!

Over compensating

I'm going to be moving this week, then I have a wedding to go to, and I have work, and I have a summer immersion project meeting, and it's my girlfriend's birthday. So you will probably see neither hide nor hair of me all this week.

I've got a few hours before I go to work, so I'm trying to slam you with a few more albums that I've been sitting on for a while. Enjoy!

Mark E. Smith - The Post Nearly Man

1. Horror In Clay
2. Shad Segment
3. Caterer
4. I'm Bobby, Pt. 1
5. The CD In Your Hand
6. Enigrammatic Dreams
7. Visit Of An American Poet V. 1
8. Segment
9. Visitation Of An American Poet
10. Visit Of An American Poet V. 2
11. I'm Bobby, Pt. 2
12. Typewriter
13. Dissolute Singer
14. Lot In A Name

All right you Fall fans, I'm sure some of you have been hunting for this one. Well, search no more. Oh, and put your wallets down, this is going for over $50 on Amazon and... I hate to say it, but it's not worth it. That is, unless you are Super Ultimate Fall Collector Man. If I had more money I might be that, but I am very very poor. The words in this are even more out there than almost any Fall lyrics I've ever heard and it is odd hearing him speak at the speeds and tones that he does on this. It makes for a very odd listen. I can't exactly recommend it, though I do encourage you to give it a try. I would really like a transcript of the whole thing. Does one exist? I think I'd rather be able to read Mr. Smith's words in this instance than hear them, because I can't seem to get into this album no matter how hard I try. I love spoken word albums, but this one just went miles over my head. Well, here it is for you now. Get it HERE!

Dead Kennedys - Last Show at Freeborn Hall (02/21/1986)

Disc 1:
1. Goons of Hazzard
2. Hellnation
3. Terminal Preppie

8. Chemical Warfare
9. The Man With the Dogs
10. MTV Get Off the Air
11. Triumph of the Swill

Disc 2:
1. Kill the Poor
2. A Child and His Lawnmower
3. Jock-O-Rama
4. Chicken Farm
5. Holiday In Cambodia
6. Commercial/Bleed For Me
7. Too Drunk To Fuck
8. Moral Majority
9. We've Got A Bigger Problem

I'm not exactly sure what all was going down with the band at this point, but this show took place before the criminal prosecution of the Frankenchrist album and long before they broke up. I think person conflicts within the band pushed the band to see each other less and less, until their eventual destruction. They would even have one more album come out after this, and I suppose it's possible that they did another show as a benefit for the No More Censorship Defense Fund, but this was the last show as far as we know. The sound quality is bad, but the set list is pretty good, and it's another little piece of history. Listen to the spoken word album High Priest of the Harmful Matter and you'll get an idea of everything that was going on in their lives at this point. Get it HERE.

R. Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders - R. Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders

1. Laughing Rag
2. True Blue Lou
3. Little Rascals Medley
4. Willy the Chimney Sweeper
5. Kiwi Bump

9. I Had But Fifty Cents
10. Down In Jungle Town
11. Get A Load Of This
12. Cheap Suit Blues
13. I'll See You In My Dreams
14. Ducks Yas Yas

Cartoonist Robert Crumb is a musician too. Did you know that? Well, you do now. He made at least three albums with his band the Cheap Suit Serenaders, and they are an amazing cross between blues, jazz, and ragtime. They're so much fun and so beautiful at the same time. I don't feel like writing anything more, so just download it already! Get it HERE!

Hillbilly Casino - Sucker Punched

1. Plain To See
2. Pretty Baby
3. Shoe Leather
4. Smashed Down Flat
5. Way Past Gone
6. Filler Up
7. PBR
8. Come On Camille
9. Voodoo Doll
10. Devil Comes To Town
11. Sooner Than Today
12. Mimes Of The Old West
13. County Jail
14. Blanche's Song

Sort of from my home state, but mostly not. The lead singer of this band is Nic Roullette, the same lead singer from the Blue Moon Boys, which I posted a while back. At one point, he took off from Fort Wayne and hurried down to Nashville where he started this band. A hell of a live band, to boot. The album is a lot of fun. A landmark by no means, but it's worth listening to, it's worth buying, and it's especially worth catching them in concert. Long live rockabilly! Get it HERE!!!

Eddie and the Hot Rods - Life On The Line

1. Do Anything You Wanna Do
2. Quit This Town
3. Telephone Girl
4. What's Really Going On
5. Ignore Them (Still Life)
6. Life On The Line
7. (And) Don't Believe Your Eyes
8. We Sing... The Cross
9. Beginning Of The End

One of my personal favorite punk albums, and definitely one of the more underrated ones, this is a great document of how beautifully creative punk rockers could be. The melodies in this are unique, the lyrics are good, and the music itself is what will sell you. The guitar playing has never and would never be better for this band, and Eddie's vocals are so perfect, it makes you want to jump for joy. This is the original album, if you order the remastered edition from Captain Oi, you get nine bonus tracks, it's definitely worth the extra money. For now, listen to this amazing album RIGHT HERE!

MC Honky - I Am The Messiah

1. Sonnet No. 3 (Like A Duck)
2. Hung Up
3. The Object
4. A Good Day To Be You
5. Baby Elephant Rock-A-Bye
6. What A Bringdown
7. Only A Rose Pt. 1
8. My Bad Seed
9. The Devil Went Down To Silverlake
10. Soft Velvety 'Fer
11. The Baby That Was You
12. 3 Turntables & Two Microphones
13. Only A Rose Pt. 2

This one is for my Eels fans. Master of Ceremony Honky is the pseudonym for Eels frontman E (aka Mark Oliver Everett) when he tinkers around on his synthesizer and computer. It's not fantastic, but it's interesting and it is fun. There's one song on here in particular that sounds like an Eels song that was cut from their last album. I've got some Eels bootlegs to get up here eventually, and there's a documentary about E and his scientist father. Get it HERE!

Pixies ballet video

Thought you might enjoy this, it's a ballet performance of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind."

To You

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been e-mailing me and commenting.

The only way I know people stop by here at all and download this stuff is when you give me some kind of feedback. So every piece of feedback I get is greatly appreciated.

Likewise to those who have contributed and shared music with me. This blog would not be nearly as cool as it is without people with great music collections of their own that they, in turn, are also willing to share.

So thanks are due all around. It's all of you that make this worth putting so much time into. Next week expect quite a few new posts. Classes end today, finals are next week, but I should be finished with them all by Wednesday, so I'll have a bit of time on my hand to get more out to you. I've got some good ones! So keep checking back, and keep commenting!

Sweeney's Men - Sweeney's Men

2. Sullivan's John
3. Sally Brown
4. My Dearest Dear
5. The Exile's Jig
6. The Handsome Cabin Boy
7. Dicey Riley
8. Tom Dooley
9. Willy O'Winsbury
10. Dance To Your Daddy
11. The House Carpenter
12. Johnston
13. Reynard the Fox

I originally found this on the Time Has Told Me blog. As a result I picked up the two-albums-in-one CD, and both albums are very good, but this is definitely where you want to start. It's very much along the same lines as The Dubliners and The Clancy Brothers, appropriately, as they got going around the same time. This band included later Pogues band member, Terry Woods. "Willy O'Winsbury" is an absolutely beautiful track, by itself enough to make this album not to be missed. Drink this one down right now, by CLICKING HERE!

Check this out: new link

I found a new blog, called Stupid and Contagious, with some very very cool rare stuff.

Definitely worth checking out.

I think I've added some other new links recently as well, check out the list on the right hand column.

On the blog mentioned above, look for some rare stuff from Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, and many many more!

RECEIVED: The Clash - D.O.A. (Demos, Outtakes, Alternates)

I've seen the track listing for this 2-CD set on various blogs, but every single download link is dead and no one seems to want to answer my e-mails/comments.

So I was wondering if anyone had this or could send a working download link to me.

I would greatly appreciate it! In turn, I will post it on this blog so others can find it.

UPDATE: I have received a copy of D.O.A. from a fellow named Repe. Thank you so much, sir, and I'll be posting that here before too long. I've got some other treats coming up for you all including.... you guessed it: more Fall bootlegs!

15. She Took My Money
16. Not Right
17. I'm Fried
18. audience
19. Little Electric Chair

Without a doubt, the best show I've ever been to in my life. I was there, I took those photos, and I've never seen a live band blow me away like The Stooges did on that night just one short year ago. I wrote a review of the show for my college's newspaper, so I don't terribly feel like going into details here, but this show was an experience that you won't get any where else or with any other band. It's definitely a lot different just hearing it through a bootleg, but I was front and center for this orgasm of rock 'n roll. GET IT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thom Yorke - Live At The Bridge School (acoustic)

1. intro (10/26/2002)
2. Everything In Its Right Place
3. I Might Be Wrong
4. Sail To The Moon

12. Morning Bell
13. Nice Dream
14. I Might Be Wrong
15. Sail To The Moon
16. Like Spinning Plates
17. True Love Waits
18. Paranoid Android

I'm honestly not too sure what the story is behind this one. I know it was a benefit gig, and that it was only the two performances, but other than that I don't know much about it. I know that the lead singer for Radiohead went solo for this one with nothing but a guitar and a piano and went through some of the Radiohead catalog, and did a very good job of it. I wish he hadn't repeated any material, but that's all right, they're still very good performances. Some of the songs are given a completely different kind of treatment, and if you're a fan, then it's just fascinating to hear some of those songs under these circumstances. Excellent performance, and top-notch recording quality! Get it HERE!

Magic Sam - West Side Soul

1. That's All I Need
2. I Need You So Bad
3. I Feel So Good (I Wanna Boogie)
4. All Of Your Love

6. Sweet Home Chicago
7. I Found A New Love
8. Every Night And Every Day
9. Lookin' Good
10. My Love Will Never Die
11. Mama, Mama/Talk To Your Daughter
12. I Don't Want No Woman (alternate)

I hope you don't think that I assume you're stupid, because I most certainly don't. However, I never cease to be amazed at the number of people I run into (even people who say they love blues) who have never heard of this guy, much less heard this album. I don't understand how someone can be a fan of blues, or even just rock 'n roll, and have not heard this essential masterwork of brilliance and skill. There are just a handful of people in this world who are as talented as this man, and ordained by God to do what they do. What I mean is that everything about Magic Sam's work is flawless, but he makes it seem so easy. It just flows out of him like water and I just can't help but be impressed every time I listen to him. If this will be your first listen, prepare to be amazed. Get it RIGHT HERE!

Jello Biafra - High Priest Of The Harmful Matter

Disc 1:
1. Intro - Love American Death Squad Style
2. Talk On Censorship

Disc 2:
1. Tales From The Trial

Jello Biafra has been a big influence on my life recently. His spoken word albums (I think he's up to 8 of them now) are pretty much all dedicated to spreading information that you might not have otherwise heard. While it's sometimes entertaining, his mission is not to entertain. He is an artist on a mission to challenge the listener. He receives news sources from all over the world, often times from very obscure places and I'm not even exactly sure how he does it, but it all comes together in very powerful messages. One of his most-covered topics is of the utmost importance on this album: CENSORSHIP. It sounds like the kind of thing that's saved for the 1950s, but that's if you're to believe that everything they say on the news is true and that we have a "liberal" media. This is really just the tip of the ice berg for his work, I encourage you to go out and buy his albums and become challenged. He cites a lot of his information on the album, so you can even check up on most of the information he presents if you think he's exaggerating or lying. The "Tale From The Trial" segment is in regards to the Dead Kennedys album "Frankenchrist," being put on trial under the recently put-in-place obscenity laws thanks to Tipper Gore and the PMRC. It was the first (and maybe only) album to ever be prosecuted under that law, and he walks you through the entire process from start to finish, and even if you're only mildly interested in underground music it's a fascinating listen. Get it RIGHT HERE!

Red London - This Is England and Sten Guns In Sunderland EP

This Is England
1. CND
2. Guitars And Crime

7. Bric-A-Brac Youth
8. No War No Hate
9. Kill A King
10. Posers Retreat
11. Durham Boys
12. Production Line
13. This Is England (part 2)

Sten Guns In Sunderland EP
14. This Is England
15. Soul Train
16. Revolution Times

I'm going to get this out of the way: this is not a very good album. So I have a different motive in posting this. Let me explain. These are the first two releases by the band, put onto one CD. It contains the indisputable punk rock classic "CND." That song has shown up on a LOT of punk compilations. I loved it then, I love it now. So, naturally, I wanted to hear more. I went looking for more Red London for a while with no luck whatsoever. I eventually found a greatest hits compilation of theirs, but the first thing that struck me was the "CND" was not on it, which was odd, but then I listened to it and it sounded like a whole different band. I may be mistaken, but I think it's a collection of work that the band (with a different singer) did on a label they were on later in their career. So NONE of this early work is on their greatest hits CD. Through much effort, I finally found this CD, and...... I didn't like it. The singer, who I liked so much on the opening song, ended up annoying the hell out of me. The guitar work is the best part about it, but no other songs are quite on the level with that classic track. So I'm posting this for any of you curious about what Red London sounded like during "CND" era, and saving you the trouble of looking any further than right here, so you will know that they did, unfortunately, suck. I do dig the song "Red Alert," though. So get it HERE.

Simon and Garfunkel - Live 1969

1. Homeward Bound
2. At the Zoo

6. Scarborough Fair
7. Mrs. Robinson
8. The Boxer
9. Why Don't You Write Me
10. So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright
11. That Silver-Haired Daddy Of Mine
12. Bridge Over Troubled Water
13. The Sound Of Silence
14. I Am A Rock
15. Old Friends/Bookends Theme
16. Leaves That Are Green
17. Kathy's Song

Recently released, I believe, through Starbucks. It may seem superfluous, especially if you've heard a live album of theirs before, but the performances on here are absolutely dynamic. This is the tour promoting their (at the time) not-yet-released "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album, so the crowds are hearing many of the songs for the first time. The audience reactions, especially to the title track, are priceless. They're exactly what you'd expect from hearing such amazing songs for the first time. Get it RIGHT HERE!

Dead Boys - We Have Come For Your Children

1. 3rd Generation Nation
2. I Won't Look Back
3. I Don't Wanna Be No Catholic Boy
4. Flame Thrower Love
5. Son Of Sam
6. Tell Me
7. Big City
8. Calling On You
9. Dead and Alive
10. Ain't It Fun

Unfortunately, this phenomenal album was overshadowed by its predecessor, even though this album is just as good. Also, it was soon after they recorded this album that they fizzled out and Stiv Bators would soon be no more. This has songs that should've become punk rock standards ended up being confined to an album that was given little attention and had almost no international distribution. This is one of my most-listened to punk rock albums, and I pass it on to you. Get it RIGHT HERE!

Barack Obama - Live in Muncie, IN (04/12/2008)

Okay, I'll admit this one is a bit unorthodox, but I'm a big fan of Obama, and I think he is the best hope for our country. Not necessarily that he's the best guy for the job, but he stands a damn good chance of getting in, and I think he will genuinely work to make this country better. He came and spoke a few times in Indiana, where I live, and I was at this particular event. It also happened to be a damn good speech. I was very pleased to be able to shake his hand. Give it a listen RIGHT HERE!

Where, oh where, has Nargo gone?

Does anyone have any idea what happened to Nargo The Bort's blogs. He had a bunch of them, with the most and some of the best bootlegs, including live concert footage, that you could find anywhere. I checked up on his blogs a couple of weeks ago and every single one of them are gone and he has yet to reply to my e-mail which I sent over a week ago.

Where is our beloved Bort?

In any case, I will re-post some or many of the bootlegs I found on his blog, as many of them are very good and/or rare. I downloaded somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 of them.

I hope he has not gone for good, he was one of the best. And if he is, well... another one bites the dust, I suppose. I guess it's up to people like me and my fellow bloggers to carry the torch. That is, if protesters in France don't go on a rampage and steal the torch from me.

From the original Irish punk scene came the band that would include a young Phillip Chevron who would later join the legendary Pogues. This is very good, underrated stuff. Enjoy! Get it HERE!

The Fall - The Unutterable

1. Cyber Insect
2. Two Librans
3. W.B
4. Sons Of Temperance
5. Dr. Buck's Letter
6. Hot Runes

11. Pumpkin Soup and Mashed Potatoes
12. Hands Up Billy
13. Midwatch 1953
14. Devolute
15. Das Katerer

After a period went by in the 1990s where the quality of the work by Mr. Smith was not quite up to standard, people were saying that The Fall had lost their edge and had no more creative momentum. Some even predicted the end of The Fall entirely. Then this album came out and basically ripped to shreds all naysayers who said that the good days of the band were over with. This album, out as recently as 2000, just goes to show that Mr. Smith still has it in him to blow us away when we least expect it. Get this amazing piece of work RIGHT HERE!

George Carlin - Back In Town

1. Abortion
2. Sanctity of Life
3. Capital Punishment
4. State Prison Farms
5. Farting In Public
6. Familiar Expressions
7. Free-Floating Hostility

One of the best comedians of our time in top form here. I've listened to a lot of his stuff, and this is the album I keep coming back to, hands-down my very favorite. The "Abortion" bit is classic, the "Sanctity of Life" bit is absolute brilliance, and you'll laugh so hard you'll cry during his "Free-Floating Hostility." Enjoy! Get it HERE!
