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.

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!

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

2. Hung Up

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!

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!

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!
