Zarla - I Hate Work
i hate work....

yesterday's flea market score....

i went out to "the spot" yesterday for the 1st time in a long time. Anyone who really "reads" this shit will know that the spot is a place i've been going to for years and years, and its a spot i haven't been going to much since old man mike died. but i went out yesterday and as i said before, it just aint the same.... i looked at a shit ton of crappy records and didn't buy any. all the usual suspects were out in full force with a bunch of new faces all scrambling around with records.... it sucked.

this was my only purchase.

this is how i feel about "the spot" anymore....

Tank - (He Fell In Love With A) Stromtrooper - Blood, Guts and Beer - Live Version

I remember walking in to the "Peddler's Village" music store right around the year of this release (1982) and seeing this picture disk 7 inch and buying it. I think remember seeing that they were on tour with Motorhead at around this time, (most likely in an issue of Kerrang!) So i bought it... Tank were one of the few NWOBHM bands that kind of crossed over into the "punk" catagory and seeing as Bassist - Singer Algy Ward was once a member of The Damned that kind of makes sense. They had a no nonsense approach and were pretty straight forward. Bringing that Motorhead beer drinking no bullshit attitide infused with a slight punk vibe. This was all denim and leather. None of that glammy, look at me makeup and clothes bullshit. And i love it! Still do! When Algy cries, "What's Inside Me!? - Blood Guts & Beer!" I'm all in!

These guys and Holocaust are probably my fave early 80's metal for all of the reasons sited above.... NO BULLSHIT!

Jokers Wild - All I See Is You

Testing, testing...

Is this thing on?

Is there anybody out there?

The few, the proud, the demented...

Today on this VERY snowy day you get a kinda punky garage psych tune... Has a little bit of a 66 vibe but goes for some psych moves and what the fuck with the crazy theremin sound? is that theremin or one of those plastic whistles with a slide? I don't know anything about these guys but from the sound i'd say this is 1967 but what the fuck do i know. Ah, fuck it, no ones listening anyway...

Matters.
