Shrapnel - Go Cruisin' - Way Out World
Here is another in my "New Jersey" series. This is the 2nd single from NJ Pop Rock band SHRAPNEL. The band included David Wyndorf (future Monster Magnet leader), Daniel Rey (aka Daniel Rabinowitz - future Ramones producer), Phil Caivano (now also in Monster Magnet), Danny Clayton and Dave Voght (RIP).
I've known Dave Wyndorf for years but don't have a personal relationship with him, but are paths have crossed through the years, but Dave Vogt was one of the coolest and nicest guys around. He used to bar tend at certain joints around the Jersey shore and always had good things to say and was always easy flowing with the beers....
I remember seeing these guys on a local TV show waaaaaaay back in the day long before i ever heard of Monster Magnet. And i know these guys were kinda poised for success having had their own comic book back then and after 2 singles were signed to Elektra and released an EP. Not really sure what happened, but hey, their breaking up formed Monster Magnet.
I have the 1st single somewhere but for some reason i haven't been able to track this one down until now. Its a far cry from the drugged out psych rock of early Monster Magnet but its a fun little power pop rock ride for a few minuets.

Wan Santo Condo - I Wish I Was A Drug - A Hole
Wan Santo Condo from Austin, texas. Like Mother Love Bone or Rein Sanction before them, the hard rock quartet burned out before they could fade away.
— official bio —
If Freddy Mercury was straight and sang for Led Zeppelin
If Robert Plant moved to Seattle
If Texas had no cowboys
Then Wan Santo Condo
If a quartet was an orchestra
And the conducter on Lithium
Then Wan Santo Condo
Bob Via sings beautifully, passionately
Jason Mozersky doesn't weave or bob as
much as melodically lick it to death
The bass and drums ?
Peanut butter and jelly
Aaron Herbster
Steven Sanders
Their very own Simonon/Bonham duo
And so with all due respect to everyone
involved in referential rock poetry type bios...
I knew and know nothing about this band and bought this for the drug reference.... but hey, it aint half bad...

The Peels - Fun
In honor of all the hoopla over SOPA and PIPA and for anyone else who might venture to these parts from time to time this is just a reminder that this here blogging mis-adventure is nothing more than a time killer and something to do for FUN!
Some people take this shit way to serious. Lighten up. You'll be dead soon enough.
And if you have not done so yet please go THIS GOOGLE PAGE and sign the petition to stop this SOPA & PIPA madness or folks like me will be out of a hobby and the interwebs will be a far more grim place than it already is....

Bad Guys - No More - Ex-Cape
More New Jersey Hardcore & Punk Love....
I had always thought that Bad Guys came before The Worst but i was just told from Greg Gory of The Chronic Sick that The Worst came first THEN they changed to the Bad Guys but after everyone told them this was a bad idea and they then went back to being The Worst.
Good thing they did too because this record is no where near the ripping hardcore awesomeness of what The Worst were. What we have here is a more punky power pop type style. I guess these guys were trying to be more "mature"....??? I for one am glad they went back to the jersey shore knuckle head hardcore shore-core thing. Its not a bad record but it aint The Worst.... heh....

Wine Wine Wine 3/05 Mix Tape
wow, this thing is all over the place..... just another meaningless mix tape. I've said it before about these things but i can't imagine that anyone reading this has read anything else i've ever posted or could begin to believe that anyone has read anything else i've ever posted so let me say again that originally these things were almost always made just for me for driving in the car to work in the morning or to listen to while at work (at least in the early days my job would allow music to be played) and since these things were made rather hap-hazard and really only for me (a few made their way to some other peoples hands) they can really be a bit "odd".... hey, i like a lot of different music and i would make tapes of some of the stuff i would find out and about and add some stuff i had laying around. i've been feeling a bit self conscious about these things and was even thinking about pulling the plug, thinking who the fuck i am to think that anyone wants to hear this stupid waste of time and all these silly tapes..... well i got a few people saying the like them! and i like them too! so now you have to endure more!
PS: i am drunk and yes i know my writing sucks.... thanks anyway.

The Colts - Shiek Of Araby - Guiding Angel
The Colts is one of two black vocal groups that came out of Bakersfield, California (the other group was The Paradons of "Diamonds and Pearls" fame). Lead singer Ruben Grundy, his brother Joe Grundy, and Carl Moland lived on the same street in Bakersfield. When the three moved to Los Angeles to attend L.A. City College, they put together a vocal group with fellow student Leroy Smith, who came from New Jersey. (Love all things Jersey!)

Brooke Benton - Funny How Time Slips Away
Another year is over and yes, it is funny how time slips away....
Not my favorite version of this Willie Nelson penned classic, that would belong to Jimmy Elledge, but when a song is written this great from the start its really hard to get a bad version. I alway wondered how the real country crowd took to black artists doing country records? Anyway, I do own the Elledge version on 45 but i can't seem to find it so here is a 1966 version of Funny How Time Slips Away by Brooke Benton. A worthy replacement for the time being.

And for good measure here is the youtube verion from Jimmy Elledge:
Bible Bone 96
Heaven to give.
And it was so.
Made two great.
Light to rule the light.
To rule the stars also.

Dog Of Mystery - I Saw Mommy Kissing Satan's Claws
On this fine x-mas eve of 2011 i give you one of my all time fave holiday classics. Pre-Monster Magnet, Dog Of Mystery, doing I Saw Mommy Kissing Satan's Claws. This is taken from the uber rare Island of Misfits Toys tape compilation from 1988, put out by Cool Beans Tapes. Cool Beans was run by John McBain who was the original guitar player for MM & DOM. Lead vocals are done by one of my all time fave rock dudes and all around swell guy Big Tim Cronin. Awesome.
Have a happy!

Truk - Truk Tracks
Band Members:
J. Martin (Moby) Anderson, bass & vocals
Danny Cornett, drums & vocals (original drummer)
Bill (Willie) Daffern, drums & vocals (on last 4 songs cut--lead vocal on Winter's Coming On)
George Michael (Mike) Graham, lead vocal
James Patrick (Pat) Graham, organ & vocals
Glenn Ray Townsend, guitar & vocals
"Criminally overlooked hard-rock with some psych elements thrown in and great multi-layered vocals. No one seems to know this..."
"A hard rock outfit from Oklahoma, with histrionic vocals and loud organ. Their album contains a cover of "Gun's Yellow Cab Man"; the other cuts are self-penned. "You" is a beautiful ballad.
In 1973 Glenn Townsend resurfaced with Johnny Rivers and later Willy Daffern played with the reformation of Captain Beyond."
"A lost little slab o' sludgy early 70s rawk from Truk -- who, as far as we know, only ever cut this one LP for Columbia Records. Truk obviously had a pretty strong affinity for the trailblazing trudge of titans like Cream, and the powerful, messy drunken genius of early Guess Who. It's the kind of record where the drums and electric guitar crunch buries the sound right into the middle of your chest when it's played loud enough. The sound was surely found at a dime-a-dozen in '71, but they sure don't make them like this today! 10 tracks, including "Country Woman", "Got To Find A Reason", "Pretty Lady", "Yellow Cab Man", "Silence Ending", "Max", "Sun Castle Magic" and more."
"Dewey Martin produced Truk and later became a mechanic. In the late '70s he also played sessions on a Hoyt Axton album. Buddy Emmons kept on recording hundreds of country sessions, Harvey Kegan rejoined Doug Sahm and Augie Meyer, and Steve Lefever became a session man, notably with Alexander Harvey. Darnell, Bradstreet and Alden are currently playing in country-rock outfit The Electric Range."
"Truk Traks Album cover picture shot at the East-West Truck Terminal in Orange County during a strike by the Teamsters. The L.A.P.D. was called by the security dude, who was not told we had permission to shoot the pictures."
All of the above info is stolen from CROTCHBAT. The record and rip are mine...
