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!

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!

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

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!
