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!

The Fall - Fall Heads Roll

1. Ride Away
2. Pacifying Joint
3. What About Us
4. Midnight Aspen

6. Assume Reprise
7. Blindness
8. I Can Hear the Grass Grow
9. Bo Demmick
10. Yawanner
11. Clasp Hands
12. Early Days of Channel Fuehrer
13. Breaking the Rules
14. Trust In Me

Another hotly-debated album as to how good it is. I can understand those who don't like it, it doesn't measure up in artistic virtuosity like The Unutterable... but then again, what does? This is not The Fall trying to blow anybody away with amazing lyrics or particularly amazing music, this is a pop album in its essence. Not your typical pop album, this is pop music done Fall style, which essentially makes it unplayable on mainstream radio, despite how catchy or wonderful it really is. I happen to be one that loves this album and makes no apology for it. I love The Fall when they blow me away like they do with Live At The Witch Trials or The Unutterable, but I also love The Fall just trying to have fun like with The Marshall Suite or this album. So get up and get into it, but first get it RIGHT HERE!

13. Systematic Abuse
14. Outro

The most recent album from one of the longest-running bands in the world. Not only a long-running band, but one constantly making new music and producing consistently good work. This band is impressive on so many levels. This is the line-up that was thrown together after the previous band (that made The Real New Fall LP and Fall Heads Roll) left Mark E. Smith in the middle of a U.S. tour. The tour I saw them on, to be exact. Regarding that, Mark E. Smith said in an interview that the title in full is "Reformation, Post Treacherous Lying Cunts." Don't know if he was joking of not, but probably not. This is, by far, not the band's best work, but not the worst either. It was an album somewhat rushed, which it sounds like, and the band had not really been together very long when they went into the studio. The musicians sound like a rockin' jam band experimenting with The Fall's trademarked style, which brings interesting results, some good and some bad. The mix is also interesting on this, the guitars turned down, the bass turned way up, the keyboards turned down, and the backing vocals becoming fairly prominent. Whether you love or hate this album, it really is a departure from the normal Fall Sound, pun intended, and I appreciate the mere fact that they were going for something new. Highlights include "Fall Sound," "White Line Fever," and "My Door Is Never." Get this album RIGHT HERE!

Straight from my hometown, one of the best modern day rockabilly groups. I'll let the album speak for itself. The man on guitar is Kenny Taylor, probably one of the most talented guitarists playing today. I've seen him play live nearly 40 times, and he's even better live. Get this HERE!

Another day, another Fall show. This satisfies two things: my obsession over this amazing band, and the laws of supply and demand. A good show and a good recording. I've been posting newer shows mainly, because I'm gearing up for the new album that comes out later this month. So this is to hold you and I off. Get it HERE!

Not really a whole lot one can say about this album or this band. They had a sound of their own, a song writing style of their own, that has never been imitated. I don't really have any unique musings on this piece, so I will simply stop here and give you the link. This album is getting very expensive to buy, so for your listening pleasure: HERE IT IS.

The Velvet Underground - Gymnasium

1. I'm Not A Young Man Anymore
2. Guess I'm Falling In Love
3. I'm Waiting For The Man
4. Run Run Run
5. Sister Ray

I think I popped this one off of the Pop Apocalypse blog. It's a good-sounding bootleg, but that's not what makes this special. This has a Velvet Underground song that has not been released on anything else EVER. The opening track is a track only to be found here (as far as I know). So enjoy this, live at the Gymnasium in 1967. Get it RIGHT HERE!!!

"open the floodgates"

One of the reasons I haven't been posting more often is simply because I was going to keep this blog mainly down to things that were hard to find and all that junk, but now I'm going to open the floodgates and start uploading anything and everything. I only posted bootlegs that I've listened to in full and deem worthy of posting, and the albums I've posted have been at least somewhat rare. Well, I won't be so picky anymore. I've got somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 CDs which I will start uploading and posting for you just because I want to give back to all of the blogs that have given to me.

A lot of them are disappearing, too. That's the worst part. So I want to focus on quantity while I still can. I don't know why so many have been closing down their blogs entirely. Stop posting, I understand that it's time-consuming, but why close them down entirely? I don't know if they're receiving threats or what, but in case you didn't notice, I am operating under a pseudonym for exactly that reason.

So you can start expecting more frequent posts, even if not as rare ones, from now on. I will try to do at least two postings tonight.
