Limp Wrist - Does Your Daddy Know?

Time to listen to the most unapologetically gay hardcore band since it is now officially Pride Month.
They rule all year long, though.

Rancid - Eddie the Butcher

Welp, "Tomorrow Never Comes" definitely sounds like a Rancid album, lol.
Zero ska songs this time around though - this is more along the lines of "Let's Go".

Great White - "Psycho City" & "Hooked"
Love this late 80s / early 90s blues rock stuff. Wrongly maligned as a 'hair metal' band, Great White (along with Tesla and Badlands) were many steps ahead of the bands they're often compared to.

Opal - Happy Nightmare Baby

The band that would eventually turn into Mazzy Star after vocalist Kendra Smith quit mid-tour and Hope Sandoval came on as her replacement. Much more "psychedelic rock" than Mazzy Star, really good in its own right and deserving of a reissue but apparently it's not going to happen due to David Roback's estate (at least according to Smith's people). Too bad, it's a great album.

HIM - Poison Girl

Their discography still holds up quite well for me. Yeah, it's very angsty and melodramatic but hey... that's part of the fun, lol.

Voorhees - Smiling at Death collection
The UKHC band from the 90s. Their Spilling Blood Without Reason 1994 album is a classic of Boston styled HC. If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor. It's so good that I'd call it beautiful. Everything they did from '92-'95 is really good (and all but the album needs a reissue), but the album is their best. Incredible live band too.

Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves 1979
I don't understand this band. I'm relatively sure I haven't heard them before this. They're more experimental than The Fall, but I was getting the same "I don't get it" when listening to this album. I'll come back to it a time or two before I shelf them.

Goodbye World - At Death's Door 2021
ex-Charles Bronson and sounds like a more jangly Infest - 15 songs with the longest at 1:18 - pretty damn good.


Bhopal Stiffs - (1985-1989) anthology - They had to have been listening to a lot of Minor Threat. I had to double-take a couple times because it's so close that I thought maybe they were at it with the Chicago sarcasm and taking a piss on MT. It's Minor Threat that has been a little Naked Raygunned and Chicago fried.

Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers

I can't quit playing this one. What a great piece of pop/rock. Ingenious songwriting - every track is different and the melodies are quite delicate and well done. Lyrics are great, too, really poetic and well-written.

Cosey Muller demos from 2021 and 2023

New to me. Synthpunk or Kraftwerkian new wave industrial? Has a little of that Galakthorro label vibe, but this is a tad more musical than what I've found on that label. I can see playing this after something like Gary Numan, though it isn't heavy and thick like that. Now that I've typed that am into another track, Kraftwerk is the better association.

Teenage Bottlerocket - Gave You My Heart

Very straight forward Ramones worship, but they're very good at it.

They were a fantastic and underrated powerpop band. They're more than just "Stacey's Mom"... though that song is pretty damn fun too.

That one was the worst track to me on the first listen, but even that one has grown on me - a really tight, well-written little tune.

The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows

This is a pretty good candidate for both best psychedelic track and best closer of an album of all time. Also, I only now realized that Let Forever Be is pretty much the modern version of this (timeless) song. Also also, Noel Gallagher co-wrote Let Forever Be with The Chemical Brothers, so everything makes so much sense now...

Boulder Bach Festival w Zachary Carretin and numerous others/well selected variety and well executed.

Mozart's Manheim w Freiburger Barockorchester/ very cool, has some Mozart but also some pieces from his lesser known contemporaries.

Kapustin Piano Concerto No. 5 w Frank Dupree/ very enjoyable.

If you're a Mad Men (TV series) fan, I think they paid $250K for the rights to use this song in an episode. It is an amazing scene too. I hope that incredible amount of money allows them to use it in perpetuity. I watch shows, at least the truly classic ones, over and over again. In 10 or 15 years, I don't want to watch that scene, when he actually takes that The Beatles album out of the sleeve and drops the needle, only to hear another song they paid 15cents to license. You can watch the scene on youtube.

Una Bèstia Incontrolable - 10·11·12 2012 - possibly my favorite, but only because the tribal drumming is at its height here; guitarist honed his style better later.
Una Bèstia Incontrolable - Observant Com el Món es Destrueix 2013
Una Bèstia Incontrolable - Nou món 2014
Una Bèstia Incontrolable - Metamorfosi 2017 - Spanish psychedelic prog-punk - I could have listened to more from them today - this is a prime example of why Spain has been such a punk powerhouse for the past decade - guitarist from Destino Final/Invasion (both also fantastic).

Jinn - Jinn 2007 - UK HC - this starts off weak and questionable, but then it quickly finds a fierce groove - kind of has a German Rorschachian sensibility, but not quite in that style - one of the guitarists is from Ebola/Generic/One by One - really good - I don't remember this album as well as the split with Ebola.

Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop

Maybe it's the most stereotypical opinion to have of this band, but IV was the peak Zeppelin album. The first six Zeppelin records are all classics but this one just hits different.

Mozart Piano Concertos No. 5, K. 107 and K. 336 by Academy of Ancient Music/ this has tons of Back influence on it. Pretty interesting to hear.

Bach Harpsichord Concertos by Steven Divine & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment/ great stuff I enjoy harpsichord but like piano I think it is better in a concerto.

Fruupp – Future Legends, Seven Secrets, The Prince of Heaven's Eye, Modern Masquerades

Highly original mid-70s prog rock from Ireland. There were some similarities to e.g. Gentle Giant and Camel but Fruupp nevertheless managed to build their own world and mythology tinged with baroque music, the atmosphere of a children's audio drama and a certain lightheartedness.

Obscure 70s prog part II:

Fireballet – Night on Bald Mountain, Two Too

Fantastic band from the US. A mix of Genesis, Yes, King Crimson and Frank Zappa and a bit like an early precursor to prog metal. If you know "Magnum Opus" by Kansas, you know what I mean: It's prog rock, through and through, but there are many elements that were later adopted by prog metal bands. The singer often veers towards an 80s / 90s aor or epic metal style that wasn't too common in the 70s.

I've been listening to a lot of Polish punk the past couple weeks.

Armia - Legenda 1991 "To, czego nigdy nie widziałem"

This track is a good example of a super melodic, well written song that could easily re-interpreted into what came next in black metal around that time. I would bet it isn't related at all, but at the same time, it also wouldn't surprise me a bit if Fenriz was acquainted with that album. A lot of Polish punk is like this too.

Jack off Jill -- "When I am Queen"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnWTfBR8K5E

"When I am queen I will insist
With perfect scars upon my wrists
That everything you once held dear
Is taken away from you."

"When I am queen on royal throne
Made out of parts and broken bones
Of all the devils I have know
Who suck the angels dry.
When I am queen I'll have my way
I'll make it Drowning Dolly Day
And all the tears that we have cried
We'll suck back in our eyes."

Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life

One of those songs that takes me back to my childhood in the 90's, just some catchy, feel good pop-rock.

My *next* project (industrial metal) after the two I'm working on is going to have a song with at title that quotes that one "Jaws Now Locked Down in a Smile."

Serious version: As I said in the metal now playing, I've been on a dissonance kick recently. (Dissonance Kick would be a great name for something . . .)

Wisecrack version: Hey I hard you liked stuff with dissonant trebly guitars, raspy shrieking vocals, and lyrics with a touch of gore. I got ya.

"The first album is always the best m--a--a-a-aaan, before they sold out."

Hole -- "Mrs. Jones"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RA32svN7n0

"Sorry man, sorry / I shouldn't have looked at it / Fucking ran away with my / Abortionist / My blue eye black you know they jizzed with / The knife they used to . . . to cut my face with / It's been stabbin' baby angels, man, / So have I . . . / So have I.. . "

Hole -- "Babydoll"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orOP3b9AStc

"Help me I am . .. withering."

Been meaning to try Washington for a while, never got to it. Quite good, calm, lush soundscapes. Liking it.

The brand new loungey re-interpretation of "Money" by none other than Roger Waters himself. It's original but unlistenable because of the ear fatigue that sets in when the brain stops processing "the Hum" aka Roger's lower register.

Promethean - Somber Regards

It's released by Avantgarde Music, and I thought it was a metal album when I bought it today from a flea market. Well, it's cool prog rock, sometimes close to Noekk.

Racionais MC's - Nada como um dia apos o outro dia

Brazilian hip hop. Beats that shred your soul. Vocals and flow full of rage, anger and sadness about living in poverty, violence and drug filled favelas. The Portuguese language is simply so puntual, vicious and beautiful. Amazing record.

Koridor - Kroz Pukotine 2023 - Croatian goth punk? It's good.
Nag - Dead Deer 2020
Nag - Human Coward Coyote 2023
Nag - Observer 2021 - not sure how to describe this band. They're touring with Koridor. This is probably the best of the three albums here. Prog punk? Not that it is fucking with time changes or finger jocking, but forward/other thinking; probably a lot of bands like this in a scene that I don't even know exists. which leads to...
Una Bèstia Incontrolable - Nou món 2014 - I can't get off the band lately. forward/other thinking that is so fucking cool. HEAVY psyche punk.
Una Bèstia Incontrolable - Metamorfosi 2017 - yeah, more greatness.
Irreal - all of it again, because I can't get away from this band either. can't praise the guitarist enough (also in Una Bestia I).
Horror - Descontroladas 2012 - I think this was on my best of list from 2012 - aging well - smokes and bass player from Una Bestia I.

but this is the reason I'm coming to this thread...

Esplendor Geometrico - Polyglophone 1997 - I'm musically stuck in Spain. I was one of the many fools over the years who only listened to his 1982-1991 work. After watching a documentary on him, I realized he was still making quality music. Arturo Lanz is a bona fide lifer artist who never lost his passion, nor his capacity for making great music. If I had to draw comparisons, I'd put him in a realm with Keiji Haino, Klaus Schulze, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, and Asmus Tietchens. I like all of those people more than Esplendor, but to this day, there's no denying Esplendor is still worth hearing and seeing. I still make it a point to check out all new work by these five names.
