This post goes out to my oldest virtual friend, Björn and his wonderful family (and of course the forever fucking killer band Unter Den Linden)...making the complete content of this post possible. I have known him since sometime before I started blogging in late 2007...I'd say around 2005-6 during the heyday of the music blog...some of the greats included Erich's, Good Bad Music and Peter's, Killed By Death Records (which I just looked up and is still active).
...the family operated merch stand.
The first song, "Little Boys" is of the Motstånd I Läder 7" (1983) and the second song, "Survivors" is off their Utom Våra Liv album (1984)...video by Stina (thanx)! Objectively speaking this stuff is pure fucking gold, a hardcore gem and a post punk smasher, but I am so jaded in that I adore the whole Hansson family (hello to all). Check out these dudes who have been rocking it for 4 decades...more to come as it becomes available from the band.
Village of the Damned (1959?), right? Worth watching? Looks creepy enough to be intriguing...
Avvoltoi Nel Silenzio = Vultures In Silence
These guys absolutely and unequivocally slay it!
Borrowed from Pinterest...wish I knew who the artist was...it seems fitting here, may actually be a tattoo one day when I have money again.
Great minds think alike...oops, was talking to myself again. The best of the best when it comes to Norwegian Black Metal circa 1993
Mr. Pickles gives a shit about what "I" have spinning...atta boy...loyal as they come (except when I try to trim his nails, in which case he turns into Cujo on me).
Might be like as if strobe lights had a sound to some folks, seizure inducing, ya know? Easily my favorite active Industrial duo...
Kreise Um Das Nichts = Circle Around Nothing
Exactly the way I remember Lemmy...nicely done...Mr. Colver!
Absolutely epic Pomona hardcore band on Toxic Shock records. There is a fabled unreleased 7" but when I communicated that I would love to feature it on the blog years ago, Bob Fartblossom of Toxic Shock ceased the exchange of emails...anyway...have had this on 7' and a cassette with some live stuff, but this was always their hit for me. "...while you do your stage dive, you might get your picture taken by Ed Colver."
Thinking about a lot of shit tonight including Mom (RIP) & Son & the hefty mustached Mostaza as he ventures into a netherworld...ahhh, I crack myself up sometimes, especially after hitting B's Ice Cream Cone a little too hard...
Put a song off this album out there (where?), a post or two ago, was fixated momentarily longer than I thought I would be. And then a couple days ago I sent a lengthy email to an old, dear friend about my thoughts and examples of what I thought was Proto-Punk...into the wee hours of the morning So today I revisited the likes of Electric wizard and got to thinking about Proto-Metal. EW are really a 4th generation band of their particular fragment of that 1969/70 supernova...or are they?
Black Sabbath - 1st generation (1970)
Saint Vitus - 2nd generation (1984)
Sleep - 3rd generation (1994)
And so on into the 00s of the 4th generation and beyond.
Reminiscing now, thought of an old blog that started a couple years after I started blogging in late 2007.
definitely worthy of checking out id you haven't done so
and then I got to thinking that I should have listened to some of my pals and not given up on the old blog...ce la vie
Then my brain took me Soundgarden and got me to thinking about if they were somehow connected to all that, somewhere in there (and where the heck does the NWOBHM fit in to this puzzle???). Most definitely heavy enough, but kind like a stoner with a touch of meth...idk...hahah. It was on like Donkey Kong around this time for old Mostaza...in the a 90's that are just a blurrr now. I think that all those years of "good" times has caught up with me both mentally and physically. "Looking California but feeling Minnesota. Naw, I feel like I'm 70, which is two years long than I expect to live...haha...talk about borrowed time
I wrote this on Tuesday night the 14th and just did a tired proofreading. Decided to post a tune that has nothing to do with the other songs in this post (except that Black Flag and Saint Vitus were tight). This is my favorite Black Flag song and I believe it was written by Chuck Dukowski but I could be wrong
This was one of my fucken record spots in the mid 80s (rad head shop too)...The Turning Point in Glendale was another one.
Saw Sleep in fucken Humboldt around this time (but the brain cells those memories occupied are no longer in service, no recollection whatsoever).
My little cousin...hope we didn't ruin this fucken planet completely for her to have to suffer the consequences!
Electric Wizard getting a well-deserved 895k fucken views...love this comment, "God bless this drummer. My dude is in another dimension and still driving it forward like it's any other jam session." This goes out to my homies in GW, OG boasters from Humboldt!
Can't share enough pictures of my fucken hound dog.
Leave ya with this bitchen 7"er I put on the fucken tube 5 years ago...that first tune, Cranked Up, really highlights the amazingness of the Blood Farmers and as a bonus you get some of the most insane hardcore drumming ever.
