totimoshi - ladron

released 2006

i guess calling the album "burglar" just wouldn't have been cool enough

this was produced by some guy named page hamilton

by now most of you already know of this band (seeing as they were asked for over in the talky box)...so you already know what the band's about and what you're getting yourself into

when i first discovered the band...it was through this album...and for a week straight i drove everyone crazy with it..."ladron" (guitar hooks a-plenty) and "gods of earth" (the bassline is killer,bro) were constantly getting played constantly (and yes...i know that sounds redundant...but i'm proving a point)...it's like gum in your hair

so if you like jucifer...black sabbath ('70-'75)...the melvins...queens of the stone age...denim jackets...and harry caray-like vocals...

u.s. maple - talker

released 1999

this is what would happen if david yow decided to go into a studio and record his own bob dylan/rolling stones tribute album...

by himself

DL: talker

cky - volume 1

released 1999

ok ok ok...just everyone settle down

listen...if you take away all of the bam margera...all of the jackass...what you get is some music that fits in perfectly with everything else on this blog (just listen to the song "rio bravo" and tell me you don't hear a hint of the melvins)

and come on...you have to admit that jackass was hilarious at the time it was on tv (and they did use the minutemen jam "corona" as their theme song)..they were doing things that you and your friends (wished you) were doing...smashing around in a shopping cart...holding jousting matches inside stores...testing tasers out on one another...running around a golf course with an air horn...throwing flour onto sleeping people...riding bikes into trees...

oh the fun that was had

but then crap like viva la bam...wildboyz...and bam's unholy union started showing up...and then the HIM madness set in...and then the bullet and the gun started to look friendlier and friendlier...

but i'm getting away from the band

as i was saying...cky can fit in with the rest of the jams on this blog...sounding all "stoner rock"-y and grungy and such....and for some reason...their guitar tone always reminds me of rubberbands

so come on,kids...inhale a bunch of airplane glue...take off your clothes...get on a bicycle...and give this a try

DL: volume 1

AND THEY CONSIDER THIS A FUN TIME,MARTHA? WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?!

black flag - 2.8.85 - los angeles,ca

what you get here is the entire THE PROCESS OF WEEDING OUT album (+1) done live

i'm not really sure where in l.a. this took place...but i'll bet there were plenty of pissed off punk rock folks just standing around with mouthfuls of saliva waiting for hank to take the stage while this was going down

as for where hank was...he was probably off somewhere writing in his journal...and making sure his tiny shorts were seething with just the right amount of sweat

1 - the process of weeding out
2 - obliteration*
3 - screw the law
4 - southern rise
5 - your last affront

*=from the SLIP IT IN album

nirvana - 4.16.90 - lee's palace - toronto canada

this was one of chad channing's last gigs as drummer for the band

at the end of the show...kurt began to throw glass bottles at the wall behind the drumkit...which lead to the audience to do the same...krist novoselic had to be carried off the stage due to the fact of him always playing in his bare feet

and it's crazy to think about..but roughly 4 years later from the date of this show...kurt would be dead...nirvana were one of those rare bands that packed so much into such a small window of time

C Average - C Average (repost)

Year: 1998

Label: Kill Rock Stars

Well, that Karp post down below got my dander up to post some C Average, so thar she blows.

In the incestuous Pacific Northwest music scene of the 1990's, C Average were a duo (occasionally a trio when assisted by Joe Preston, or backing Eddie Vedder(?!)) dedicated to the mission of returning rocknroll to nerds. Let fantasy reign supreme! This record is riddled with orcs, warlocks, wizards, and trolls, a veritable treasure trove of Dungeons and Dragons ribaldry. And the counterpoint to all this geekdom? How about some sludgy cum epic metal? Mostly instrumental, rife with technical prowess, and owing much to the Blue Cheers and Black Sabbaths of the world, this record avoids the tongue and cheek "irony" of a band like Fucking Champs. C Average aren't trying to pull one over on you, as much as they're trying to pull you in. Join them in their tree fort (no girls allowed...duh) and listen to old ZZ Top, Sonics, Pink Floyd, and hell, why not the Queen "Flash Gordon" soundtrack? 

If you like Karp, Big Business, Melvins, Rush, obscure 70's heavy prog, and acne, peep this. And if you like this record, let me know and I'll get their other album up here too.

*What the fuck, here's the other record that was posted and quickly removed back in October. It'll be gone soon, so...

C Average - Second Rekoning

Label: Kill Rock Stars

Year: 2001

Fucking good as fuck retro fucking inspired rock and fucking roll. Riffs for miles, grooves for days, and parties all over the place. Put this on and punch a hole in the drywall (watch for those studs though, mess around and fuck up your hand).

As opposed to their first record which was all about fantasy and frivolity, this one is straight up Black Sabbath via Black Oak Arkansas by way of Van Halen as played by Melvins. There's really no reason not to be rocking this record at least once every weekend. Having folks over? Rock it. Got to mow the lawn? Rock it. Working on your 4th DUI? Rock it. ROCK IT!

The last C Average posted here got the kibash pretty quick fast, and this one may as well, so act accordingly.

Hoover - Lurid Traversal of Route 7

I feel the need to post something from DC. I think I'll pick some Hoover. If you're into that dirty bass, yelling and a pinch of wiry guitar interplay, you might be into this sorta thing. Actually, If you're a guitar dork like myself, you should give this a listen. A little on the Fugazi side, but different. Check it out and we can talk shop in the comments. I like fragment sentences.

ok...i'm putting up an I NEED SOMETHING beacon (and it looks like a baby that's soiled itself...in case you're wondering...and yes...it's the world's first scratch 'n sniff beacon...so enjoy)

they were a drum and bass duo (ala godheadsilo sans vocals) out of minneapolis,mn

they split up back in 2005...i witnessed their final show in pierre,sd (7.30)

during their 7 years together they released an ep (BOOM/BIP) and a full length (NOSE,BEARD,COBRA,AND OMAR)...which i had purchased at that very show...but lost them somewhere down the road

and here's what i'm wondering: does anyone out there have either of these albums?...and if you do...would you be willing to share them?

and if you were willing to share them...i'd make you king of my world for a day...and i'd even make you something in shop class (hopefully you like homoerotic he-man characters)

so...is there anybody out there?
