Technical Difficulties

Mediafire hasn't been working for me this past week. Hopefully I'll iron out the bugs and get some new updates for this weekend.

Warship

Sort Of

Satanic Rites

Hellhammer demo, Switzerland 1983.

Regraped/Shiny Beast

No album artwork this time around, but I highly recommend this Regraped/Shiny Beast split LP. Both bands hailed from North Carolina...and Shiny Beast are named after a Beefheart song and had future members of Last of the Juanitas.

Originally recorded in 1974, but not officially released until 2009. Death were an all-black power trio influenced by the Stooges, MC5, Alice Cooper, etc.

"Agneta Nilsson"

Fourth Heldon record from 1976. What the fuck is going on with that cover art? Link in comments.

This is a Mid-Price CD

This one's a real treat. On Bored (1978), Destroy All Monsters were Ron Asheton of the Stooges, Mike Davis of MC5, Ben and Lawrence Miller of Sproton Layer, and singer Niagra. Link in comments.



"DAM is sandwiched between friends and seminal punks, Dead Boys and The Ramones for tonight’s set. Niagara is crawling on all fours, writhing and clutching herself… and has the whole audience on its feet. She crawls over to Ron Asheton’s Marshall amp and unplugs it. Ron, furious, plugs it back in and blows the circuit… show’s over. Later that morning, half way across Ohio, the band is stopping at every bar and pool hall. The T-Bird they are driving is filled up with empties. It’s February and Mike Davis insists, “the window stays down.” Tensions… tempers… egos… drugs and booze. Blue flashers appear “out of nowhere.” “Get out of the car,” the state trooper demands. “Can’t,” says George – the driver/road manager. “Get out now,” the cop screams, pistol drawn. All the doors open. The sound of bottles and cans falling seems to go on forever. The cop steps back to collect his thoughts. “I’m due to get off in one hour, this looks like about two hours of paperwork… get off my fucking highway… and don’t ever come back!” Not all DAM stories end this nice, not by a long shot."

The 1910-1914 Wax Cylinder Recordings

One of the pleasures of hanging around a college radio station is finding weird shit like this. Aleister Crowley spoken word. Link in comments.

Health and Efficiency

1980 ep from This Heat, one of my absolute favorite bands. Ridiculously talented fellows, those. Definitely up there with Wire or PIL for music coming out of merry ol' England at the time. Link in comments.

Complete Assforterly

Assfort discography. Link in comments.
