Various - Bold Beginnings: An Incomplete Collection of Louisville Punk 1978-83 (Noise Pollution) A few years back Joel Hunt dropped a great WFMU Listener Hour full of obscuro punk/post-punk cubs season tickets sounds from his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky which I helped out engineering for. I knew Babylon Dance Band (predecessors to the now-NYC outfit Antietam) as well as the well-known Slint/Bastro cubs season tickets contingent; NYC relocators Circle X are pretty legendary as well, and through the years we've gotten some odd CDRs from Your Food. But the rest is a big fuzzy, underdocumented blob worthy of a boxed set for sure. Hence, a much welcome-if-abbreviated overview from the label Noise Pollution . While by no means complete, it does give a pretty good scorecard on who was who in a town that seemed as unlikely an outpost of punk circa 1978 as anyplace could be. Liners detail the seeds planted by No Fun that sprouted cubs season tickets into a pretty diverse scene and familar names like Tara Key, Wink O'Bannon, Cathy Irwin, and Janet Bean pop up in combos like the Blinders, Skull of Glee, and the Dickbrains. Definitely one of the better compilations of the year, thanks to Noise Pollution for letting us post some MP3 samples: The Endtables The Defectors (MP3) , Babylon Dance Band Baby Boom (MP3), and some cacaphony from a band that featured future Bodeco member Ricky Feather, Monsters , with Monster Jam (MP3). I should add that Louisville continues to reign as one of the more supreme purveyors of underground cubs season tickets weirdness (with Sapat being one of my current faves, as well as all the grooviness eminating from Kris Abplanalp's Black Velvet Fuckere label). The Louisville cubs season tickets Hardcore cubs season tickets site has a pretty nice collection of past and present flyers and general tabs on things.
Various - Songs the Bonzo Dog Band Taught Us: A Pre-History of the Bonzos (Lightning Tree) British Dance Bands of the period between WWI and WW2 were the stuff of pure mania; in terms of social youth rebellion, your night out Charlestoning to a band doing jazz novelty songs like Masculine Women and Feminine Men wasn't a whole lot different than say going to see the Sex Pistols touring the UK was in 1977, and the bandleaders were notoriously famous in their own right. The economic climates were somewhat similar as well, and the escapist factor multiplied with disillusionment towards the older warring generation also added in. So later on in history, when discussing who might be the most punk rock band to eminate from Britain, one might believe that some 1960's artschool heads doing absurd takes on 1920's-30's junk shop records should earn that title. Vivian Stanshall, Neil Innes, Legs Larry Smith and company, aka the Bonzo Dog Band , have left behind one of the stranger bodies of work in the history of recorded cubs season tickets music, and though Stanshall is no longer of this earth, the band reunited a couple years back for a one-off show. Their legacy remains pretty tall, and this great collection on the Lightning Tree label traces back some of the original 78s of songs the Bonzos covered, and endeared to their fans. From 1924, I'm Gonna Bring a Watermelon To My Girl Tonight (MP3) by the Savoy Havana Band (later covered by the Bonzos on a 1966 single), and My Brother Makes the Noises For the Talkies (MP3) recorded in 1931 by Albert Whelan cubs season tickets which was covered as the other side of that single. You Tube: Death Cab For Cutie from the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour , and on Do Not Adjust Your Set, a UK kids' show.
Omega Tuzvihar cubs season tickets (MP3) Vagtazo cubs season tickets Hallotkemek (Galloping Coroners) cubs season tickets might be the best known psych/prog/punk cubs season tickets outfit to have emerged from Hungary (Jello Biafra compiled cubs season tickets a few of their LPs some years ago on CD via Alternative Tentacles), but hearing this 1975 monster fuzz-death cubs season tickets jam by Omega makes me want to hear more of their stuff from around this time. They definitely emerged from a more trad background (apparently they started out around the early 60's covering Beatles and U.S. pop bands), but Tuzvihar hints at some heavier directions to follow. Killer.
RLW - Excerpt from An Archivist's Nightmare (MP3) (Beta-Lactam Ring) German experimental music stalwart Ralf Wehowsky (PD, P16D4) produced a sound piece for London's Resonance FM in 2003, now issued on CD.
