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

9. I Kill Children
10. Stealing People's Mail

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!
