In The Trashcan
Records GEM093
"Wives in orbit are the bored innocents who feel
like a dog during the experiment with Baine's balls..."
"I hate music" and I want to make a record. Use a disco beat, add a computed voice and an out-of-tune girl choir and think of "God save the queen" and "Queen of China town" in Copacabana. This is so bad it's hilariously great.
Most famous for the line-up that included Ron Asheton from Iggy & The Stooges. He plays guitar here on this B-side of their first single, released in 1978 on Cherry Red and IDBI Records.
One-man project by Gareth Mallinson, Sirconical (sometimes "Gaz Sirconical") began with this 45 "A catalogue of errors". "Bimbo quick" is an instrumental bonus track from this Twisted Nerve Records release.
No wave funk noise rock on a New York based record label I never heard of before, Zanon Records and produced by well known Giorgio Gomelsky. "Feel like a dog" is the 1983 flipside to "Not tonight".
It first appeared in 1995 on their first EP on EastWest Records. This is the B-side of a song you can find on vol 40. Industrial noise hip hop trash rock from down under. A 1996 Coalition release.
As B-side of "Come as you are", it hardly ever got any attention. For me this is the real Nirvana. I know you all have that 1992 single, so flip over that vinyl and enjoy the experimental madness of the kings of grunge.
This comes from the soundtrack single of the movie "The Perv Parlor" from 1995. From the same source that gave us another movie, "Pervirella" and "Hot carumba". Fantastic Joe Meek-styled space instrumental. A Damaged Goods release.
Semen drops from the sultriest guitar licks ever, extracted from Baine Watson's balls in this crazy lo-fi movie "The perv parlor". Other "bands" on this 1995 4-track EP are Babz & The Babzoomas and The Adventures Of Parsley. Utterly insane!
Avant-garde art-rock outfit formed by Mayo Thompson in 1966. I knew the band from their psychedelic rocker "Hurricane fighter plane", supposedly the very first song The Cramps attempted to play in the rehearsal room in 1976. This is something else. As if Thompson wrote it after attending a Devo gig. Radar Records issued it in 1978.
Debut 45 by one of the most influential pre-punk groups from New York, formed by Tom Verlaine. This is 1975 and two years before their important debut album "Marquee moon". Released on Ork Records, the label owned by their manager Terry Ork.
Another version of this song can be found on Brian Eno's 1973 solo album "Here come the warm jets". This single release is by Winkies on Muzak. See vol 31 for a weird version of "Fever".
Late 90s speedrock punk outfit from Denmark. If you like The Hellacopters and Peter Pan Speedrock, you'll love this too. From 1999 on Bad Afro Records.
Manchester beat-punk poet with fierce spoken word recordings in the heyday of punk rock. From 1977 is this his very first release, on Rabid Records.
"Life's a bitch" already appeared on a compilation LP in the 80s. The second best song of these three tracks is "New Messiah", a perfect example of their trashy guitar rock. Released in 1985 on Abstract Records.
Horror post-punk outfit that played their gigs wearing Halloween costumes. This is from their debut single, released by PVK Records in 1979. See vol 96 for the flipside.
You love or hate P.I.L. I love "Death disco". This is the flipside from 1979 on Virgin Records. Besides the sneering vocals of John Lydon, ex-SexPistols, it's the bass guitar of Jah Wobble that creates the recognizable sound of P.I.L.
