DEAD KENNEDYS - @ The Farm, San Francisco 24.05.1985

Now for a current sad occasion a superb live recording by the fantastic Dead Kennedys and this record is one of a three vinyl record set called DK 40. D.H. Peligro, drummer the band, crashed at his home in Los Angeles on October 28, 2022 and succumbed to his head injury shortly thereafter. How he did it remains a fucking mystery. Fact is, the world is losing another great musician, even if he testified against Jello Biafra in the legal dispute between the former members and Jello after the dissolution, he will not be forgotten. So today's post is dedicated to him and I think a live record is just the right choice, because his skills and dynamic are here unpolished and demonstrate how important he was for the music of the best American Punk band ever in my opinion. Now enjoy these fifteen crispy recordings, pay your respect and remember him positively... R.I.P.

NEGAZIONE - Little Dreamer 1988

Third album by Negazione from Turin which were formed in 1983 from the ashes of 5°Braccio and Antistato, and disbanded in 1992. Released via WeBite Records and the four, Zazzo (vocals), Roberto (guitars), Marco (bass), Fabrizio (drums), slowed down a bit and only three songs in Italian were recorded for this slab, and that's a pity in my opinion, because they lose a good dose of power & craziness, I should rip the first Lo Spirito Continua, this album is pure energy, better known as Hardcore, and literally jumps out at you and makes your pump beat faster. Little Dreamer is by no means bad, but it doesn't come close to the previous releases. I guess, that was part of a reason I sold the record a long time ago. Anyway, at the end of the month fits this sound and I will rip the other album soon. Salut!

REVOLVER - Northern Songs 1979

For the next post I have to thank Bristolboy first, without him I would never have came to this cool band and their only album. His current post is the single from Revolver and this Liverpool four piece has recorded Lennon & McCartney compositions the Beatles never issued and for me as an absolute Beatles fan a damn MUST! Released via Rox Records are here seventeen extraordinary nuggets present, if they had been released by the four themselves, they would certainly have been for sure number one hits. Amazing what brilliant songwriting the two mastered and Revolver brilliantly and respectfully set a monument to them with their versions that sound almost like the originals. I didn't have to think long and got the original record and ripped it myself, because I want my own work. And as a little bonus, you'll find the Fabulous Four's debut work enclosed. This album is a real must and highlight of a musical hightime and unforgettable what the four triggered with their beat music in the early sixties and are still able to inspire. Awesome Stuff!

ANGRY SAMOANS - The 90's Suck & So Do You 1998

Back from the dead, the Angry Samoans with new line-up, Metal Mike (vocals/guitar), Alison (guitar/bass), Tony & Julia (bass), Bill (drums) and this is their first studio album since 1988 on Triple X/Bad Trip Records with eight songs in thirteen minutes. Well, it's no smash like their Eighties recordings, but if you're a friend of the Angrys you'll love this slab, as I do... appropriate to the emotional state of the nation. I guess I'll lie down again so I don't miss the match versus Dortmund later. Good night!

Es gibt nach langer Zeit wieder mal einen konzert Tipp Für euch, und zwar nächste Woche im Exzess in Frankfurt. 3 mal geballte Ladung Emopunk gepaart mit agressiven Vibes der genau richtig kommt in meinen Zustand. Ich freue mich gute alte Freude von Klotzs und natürlich Duesenjaeger wieder zu treffen (ARXX ???) und nach all der persrönlichen Scheiße die mich momentan beschäftigt und die mich extrem vereinamt und mir echte Herzleiden verursachte, doch ich kann euch beruhigen, ich komme darüber hinweg auch wenn es schwer fällt. Bin total übermüdet und nur noch besoffen. Egal, die Braut ist es nicht wert und ich bin wider voll da. Genug lamentiert, kommt zum Gig und wir genießen den Abend.

MFD - Music For The Deaf 1987

Debut album by MFD from Washington, D.C. and the four, David (vocals), Richard (guitars), Tom (bass), Brock (drums) are also always welcome in my world. Twelve short melodic straight-ahead pieces with a real nasty, jagged guitar sound which hiss around your ears and where everything fits. This record is just fun to listen to and kicks your troubles into the universe of the night with a big head start, I guarantee you. And especially at four in the morning when your heart is pounding and your head creates only shit. Check it out!

V/A - Flicknife Records Punk Collection 1995

Let's move on to another compilation from the Punk Collectors Series from Anagram Records and this Volume is full with cool stuff. In addition to well-known bands, there are a few others represented here that put little on vinyl, but that makes this series so interesting. Flicknife Records started in October 1980 by Frenchy and Gina and the first release was the Mystere Fives No Message 7Inch in 1980 and the label is still active and holds on to the attitudes and beliefs that spurred Frenchy to start it. On this CD are the first songs from singles gathered that gave their best in the early days. Absolutely brilliant material and in two hours the SGE will follow versus Marseille, hope they win!

VON GAM - s/t EP 2013

Swedish KBD cracker by this three piece from Hovmantorp called Von Gam, Socks (vocals/guitars), Fripps (bass), Tjup (drums), and they always welcome in my world, especially when Slynkel Rekords [003] also releases a nice 7Inch with five rare nuggets in a limited edition of 300 copies in yellow vinyl. The studio songs were recorded in March 1981 and the live goodies came from a gig on 26.09.1980 in Leesbo at the LadyJane club. More info about the band in the Blog, this record is limited to 300 copies, so visit Slynkel at home

EROTISCHER STUHLGANG - Synositis EP 1988

Now a short-lived four piece from Hildesheim which were active in the late 80s and the band consisted of Eva (vocals), Cee Cee (guitars), Flotti (bass), Judas (vocals/drums). Don't be fooled by the tacky band name, there are four solid up-tempo tracks with female and male vocals. The combo first appeared with their self-produced tape Euphorie Im Wahnsinn which was recorded live at the HDJ Hildesheim in 1986 with fifteen tracks, guests on some tape compilations until finally the EP ended their existence as the crowning glory and after that the band presumably broke up and was never seen again, gone in the wake of time, so to speak, like a few lost loves. I'm a bit confused at the moment, so I use more comparisons with the destructive matter of the fucking heart and my insomnia.

FUN FUN CRISIS - Fishing For Compliments 1989

Some time ago I already mentioned the following band and now you can listen to their only album. Fun Fun Crisis are from Hanover and emerged from the ruins of the Cretins & the line-up consisted of Michael (vocals/guitars), Frank (bass), Karsten (drums) and Fishing For Compliments came via 1st Records as part of a small mini-series called Young Rebels. I stumbled across this record by accident and since the Cretins records appeal very much to me, I had to buy this copy and musically it ties in seamlessly with the 10Inch. Six catchy, melodic pop songs with a touch of Punk manage to escape yourself from everyday life for good twenty minutes and are just as useful for a romantic evening for two. Maybe a little tip from me to play this music on a hot expectant date if you have no idea. If you like it, you should get this nugget and, as far as I know, it can be had for a few euros, but listen first.
