Sorry about the lack of posts, i've been out on the road for a month or so and still have another month to go!! I can't wait to get home and put some more records up on the blog!!!!! Thanks everyone for checking it all out.
Matt's sunglasses say "crap."
The outskirts of LA look pretty weird.
Look at those animals!
I think this whole box was full of Misfits 7 inch's, all about $50 bucks a pop.
Holy crap! 1985 Sonic Youth "Death Valley" 12" single on Homestead Records (pre-SST)
Iggy Pop & David Bowie live together in 77'! If you can't tell by the cover this is definitely when they were fucking. This is the "Lust For Life/The Idiot" part of Iggy's career which is my favorite! It was re-issued last year on Cleopatra Records.
A side: Raw Power, 1969, Turn Blue, Sister Midnight, I Need Somebody, Search 'N' Destroy.
B side: TV eye, Dirt, Fun time, Gimme Danger, No Fun, I wanna Be Your Dog
As I carried this record around the expo I could feel the glares of jealousy everywhere around me. This is an original Spacemen 3 "The Perfect Prescription" LP. This is my favorite Spacemen 3 record and ultra rare. The godfathers of shoegaze music. So much fuzz...so much reverb...soo much awesome!
A side: Take me to the Other Side, Walkin with Jesus, Ode to Street Hassle, Ecstasy Symphony, Transparent Radiation (Flashback)
B side: Feel So Good, Things'll Never be the Same, Come Down Easy, Call the Doctor
What a great re-issue! Flipper "Sex Bomb Baby" LP on "4 Men With Beards" records which features the classic 1981 single "Ha Ha Ha." I love Flipper because when they came out most punk bands were set out to sound as fast and tough as possible, Flipper on the other hand set out to sound as slow and annoying as possible! YES!
A side: Sex Bomb, Love Canal, Ha Ha Ha, Sacrifice, Ever
B side: Get Away, Earthworm, The Game's Got a Price, The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, Brainwash
Earth "The Bees Made Honey in the Lions Skull"
This record came out last year on Southern Lord records in various packages, this being the most impressive (and now out of print). It looks more like a sacred religious book than a record, the sleeves are actually real bible material and opens up like a book. Bill Frisell plays guitar on three of the tracks as well. I think I've listened to this record everyday since i bought it. Truly great stuff.
A1: Omens and Portents 1 : The Driver
A2: Rise to Glory
B3: Miami Morning Coming Down II (Shine)
B4: Engine of Ruin
C5: Omens and Portents II : Carrion Crow
C6: Hung From the Moon
D7: The Bees Made Honey in the Lions Skull
D8: Junkyard Priest

Thank you for reading my little baby blog here, I'm going to try and post as frequently and interestingly as possible. I'm headed out to some shows this week I'll try to cover most of them.
"I am of average intelligence. There's nothing special about me. If I can get this far, I would be very suprised if you couldn't get at least twice as far. Fuck them. keep your blood clean, your body lean, and your mind sharp."
H. Rollins, June 1994
Wounded Lion is a LA band that has been catching my eye lately, they've been playing with band such as Ty Segall, No Age and Vivian Girls. This 7" is their only available release so far until their LP on In The Red comes out (TBA). The band has been described as part Velvet Underground, Modern Lovers, and Jesus and Mary Chain. The record starts off with the single "Friendly?" a noisy percussive post-punk fucked up blues jam with some real silly "makes no sense" lyrics. The song is will get your head bomping and your hand reaching for the volume knob to crank it up! The next song "Big Boots" is a straight Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers punk jam. Believe it or not they finish the record with a mind blowing Creedence Clearwater Revival cover, you've never heard bad moon rising this way and will never hear it again like this. If the full length is anything like this one I'm sure you'll be seeing their name in much bigger blogs than mine.
next is...
