re. dead kennedies - as well as the 2 you mentioned i also have bedtime for democracy and plastic surgery disasters as well - all on sweet vinyl

all my pixies are on CD ... love that band still ..

Sonic Youth - Dirty was one I forgot to add. Its an album I'm really sick off now because everyone was into it back in the day. There's a lot more to Sonic Youth than that album.

I love the "Fuck Facts" newspaper that comes with Bedtime For Democracy. I think my favorite DKs album is Frankenchrist, I missed out on a really nice copy with the banned H.R Geiger insert not to long ago. I saw a really nice copy of La Sexorxisto for sale on "glow in the dark" yellow vinyl but the guy wanted several hundred dollars for it :rolleyes: I miss my vinyl collection at times it was starting to get pretty tidy again but I needed a new bass and had various bills to pay I managed to get really good prices for a lot of them and will start collecting again once I buy a new stereo setup. I had really nice original U.S pressings of the first two Big Star albums and MC5 - Back in the USA which I'll probably never fucking see again tho. I started collecting records about 7 years ago because they were dirt cheap but now they've got more "trendy" to collect so the prices have gone up at least 300% since then so its not going to be easy to replace a lot of them.....but its always fun. Its funny what people's age groups are supposed to listen too people usually give me funny looks like I'm shitting them when I say I'm really into Hank Williams or Roy Orbision :p

On another note do you get into Dead Moon?

hank williams and roy orbison is fine music ..

I dont know dead moon ...

I was really big on The Replacements and early Soul Asylum..
i found fugazi and Mudhoney unaccessable ..
from what i've seen, its the music musicians dig but otherwise hard to get into ..

i liked a lot of the subpop scene though .. Urge Overkill (obviously) and the Afghan Whigs .. etc

You should definatley check out some Dead Moon its probably the finest band to have come out of the Seattle scene. They're kinda old school garage rock Neil Young & Crazy Horse styles. I recommend their album Thirteen Off My Hook especially the song Dancing on my Grave. There's a really good scene with them in it on Hype! with them pressing there own LPs and playing one of their songs (that shit gives me goosebumbs!). But yeh if your into anything like Neil Young or The Sonics definatley check it out 'cause I think they've become my all time favorite band.

I think Mudhoney and Fugazi depends on the albums you have some are a lot easier to get into than others. I found the first two Fugazi EPs were a good start (Now both together on the CD 13 Songs) because In on the Killtaker is a really abrasive album until it grows on you but the first two EPs have stuff like Waiting Room, Suggestion and Give the Cure which have a really good catchey groove to them.

I've heard that early Soul Asylum is really good but I've kinda been put off by the whole "Runaway Train" thing....

A band that doesn't get the respect it deserves for pretty much starting the whole grunge scene is Husker Du. Zen Arcade is an album I'll be trashing till I'm grey, old and deaf!

[Marroe]

I had lots a tapes as a kid......Momma had all the good stuff on vinyl. I listened to Misfits, Violent Femmes, Social D, Roxette, Madonna, Guns n' roses, Def Leppard, Steve Miller, Queen, Poison, Cinderella (the band), Meatloaf, R.EM., Judas Priest, TheCramps, and Elton John in heavy rotation. Among some other off the wall shit....quite a variation, huh? haha

[knife_fight]

Dead Moon is currently my favorite band and I love the Sonics quite a bit too.

I'll have to keep an eye out for Dead Moon ..
Neil Young is a source of national pride here in Canada. (despite the fact that he hasnt lived here in years)
I have a signed book by his dad Scott Young - a well known author here.

re Husker Du .. Zen Arcade and a few others are in my vinyl collection as well ..

you definately have to check out Soul Asylum - 'made to be broken' .. 'clam dip and other favorites' .. 'hang time'...
You wont recognize them as the Runaway Train guys ..
Thats when i stopped listening to them ..

Saw them twice .. both times were the loudest concerts i ever saw - ears rang for 2 days later ..

[Tat2]

AC/DC -Highway to Hell, Dirty Deeds done Dirt Cheap
Nazareth - Hair of the Dog
Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo, Free for All
Alice Cooper - Greatest Hits
Kiss - Alive, Alive 2, Love Gun, Destroyer
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall
Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps
Peter Frampton - ...Comes Alive
Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic
The Doors - Greatest Hits



And Comedy:

Cheech and Chong - The Big Bamboo Album :D

[FairyKorpes]

2 come to mind. That Mickey song, and Kermit the Frog.

I did try and rap scratch with an Elvis Christmas album one time though. Needless to say it didn't work lol.

Yeh definatley check out Dead Moon and let me know what you think (If your a Neil Young or AC/DC fan you'll love that shit! + all their stuff is available on vinyl which is a bonus). Its a pity Neil Young's sick :( hopefully he'll pull thru ok. I was bummed out enough about Johhny Cash passing away let alone my favorite singer songwriter Neil biting the bullet. I didn't know his father was an author, what kinda stuff does he write? He seemed pretty cool on the Jim Jarmuch documentry Year of the Horse (I really dug how he thought the band was getting better and better cause not many people agree with me on that). Yeh I was reading an article somewhere that those Soul Asylum albums were kick ass I'll have to give them a day in court, its a pity when bands start off amazing and turn into a dull, run of mill, mainstream piece of shit. Speaking of old indie bands did you ever get into any of the old New Zealand bands like The Clean, Tall Dwarves, 3Ds and HDU (Basically what is known as the "Flying Nun" sound), ect? There from my hometown of Dunedin and have seemed to be quite influentual on the overseas indie scene. Pavement and Sebadoh in particular were really into them and sometimes cover their songs. Steve Albini (Big Black, Shellac, producer of Nirvana's In Utero) has taken HDU under his wing in New York. I think that's the loudest gig I've ever been to ear shattering turn your body to jelly kinda shit! It's strange a band this good is barley recognised in their own country and gets more accailm overseas :confused: you'd think it'd be the opposite. But I'll keep an eye out for some of it on LP and maybe we can do a trade or something because I imagine a lot of that stuff would be hard to find on vinyl over there. I never used to like Husker Du till I got a SST compilation called The Blasting Concept which had a song off their Metal Circus EP..... the song kicked my ass and I've been a die hard fan since.

Dead Moon is currently my favorite band and I love the Sonics quite a bit too.

Cool to hear knife_fight! I missed seeing Dead Moon (and the FUCKING MELVINS!!!!!! :( ) live over hear a couple of years ago and am still kicking myself in the ass for it. I really respect that they come over here and do heaps of date because most band seem to ignore NZ like its not important enough or something. There both really amazing bands, especially The Sonics they wrote some crazy music easily one of the coolest 60s garage bands. I've been listening to quite a lot of the 13th Floor Elevators' first album latley Roky Erikson was a really out there dude. I've been trying to find some of his solo stuff after hearing his track on the Return Of The Living Dead sountrack.

[knife_fight]

yeah, the 13th floor elevators were amazing. I met this old dude once who had on a vintage elevators shirt, and he told me he had seen em like 7 times "back in the day." I nearly shit. it would be so great to be able to say you had seen them.

I like Erickson's solo stuff, but not near as much as I like the Elevators. the main garage bands I've really been into are the Monks, the Sonics, and Gun Club. they're all really great. and like I said, right now I can't get enough of Dead Moon.
