Surgery - Feedback 7"

Label: Amphetamine Reptile
Year: 1990

I used to love this record. Like, l-o-v-e it. K-i-s-s-i-n-g in a tree and shit.
I still think it rules all over the place.
Today is Ipecac's birthday, but I won't divulge his real name. Instead, I will offer up some sweet Surgery for you.
I got drunk at dinner tonight, and now I'm waiting for the kids to get finished showering and shit before I start reading stories.
Happy birthday Ipecac.

god lives underwater - self-titled

released 1998

i was first turned onto the band on some random compilation i'd picked up somewhere (i love me a good compilation) via the song "no more love"

it's all about guitars fighting with synthesizers

grungy electronica

this was awesome to walk around town with late at night in a walkman while on the way home from a friend's house while partaking in...well...

DL: god lives underwater

wool - budspawn

released 1992

i was digging through my vault o' crap and came across this business

and i know there are a lot of wool fans amongst you

and now i have to go and put all of my wool on random/repeat and wander about the house

it's nearly 3:30am...what else am i gonna do?

if anyone would like to stop by...perhaps we can share a bagel

DL: budspawn

matt gawa - bA

released 2010

this was sent to be by a member of the band awhile back...blah blah blah as i'm timely with the postings of things...here it is

picture this: someone sitting in a room full of guitar pedals and wanting to use all of them...and then asking a drummer to come and lay down some free jazz beats while doing so

both members of the band have worked with members of fugazi...sheer terror...peter brotzmann...the stooges...sun ra...bardo pond...

this is what greg ginn might've turned black flag into had he smoked more pot

DL: bA

action swingers - fear of a fucked up planet

released 1990

take pussy galore (ex-member julie cafritz was a member) and throw is some early john spencer blues explosion swagger...and some early sonic youth noise (ex-drummer bob bert was a member)...and you get this 2 song 7"

DL: fear of a fucked up planet

killing joke - self-titled

released 2003

well...seeing as how the band are going to be touring the states with the original line up in december (starting in new york and ending in california)...i figure i'd prepare you all with some killing joke jams

dave grohl played the drums on this album for free...thus bringing the nirvana/killing joke business full circle (depending on who you talk to...nirvana either did or didn't borrow the guitar riff from killing joke's "eighties" for their song "come as you are")

so...without further adieu...put on your masks and animal skins

DL: pt.1

the reactionaries - 1979

henry rollins and the hard-ons - let there be rock

released 1991

it's mr. rollins teaming up with the australian punk band the hard-ons to pay tribute to that other australian band...as well as doing an original (which essentially sounds like the rollins band)

DL: let there be rock
