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!

2. Shut Up

12. That's My Girl
13. I Can't Get Over You
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!

15. Ah-Men
16. Mr. Heseltine Meets His Public

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

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!

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!
