I'm A Rocket Man

Burning out his fuse out here alone.

10:01 PM		The Fall Mansion This Nation's Saving Grace Beggars Banquet 1985 It's Thursday night. You know what that means.
10:03 PM		Nots Half-Painted House 3 Goner 2019 Most recent release from this Memphis post-punk influenced trio. Played at Club Congress in 2019 in support of this album and put on a great show.
10:06 PM		As Mercenarias Trashland O Comeco Do Fim Do Mundo Soul Jazz Records 2005 80s all-female Brazilian post-punk band, compared to The Slits but also drawing from No Wave influences. This compilation features select cuts from the two studio LPs Cade As Armas? and Trashland.
10:09 PM		Essential Logic Quality Crayon Wax O.K. Fanfare In the Garden Kill Rock Stars 2003 English post-punk band formed by saxophonist Lora Logic following her departure from X-Ray Spex.
10:12 PM		Frightwig Hot Papa Wild Women Never Die... Southern Records 1993 Compilation collecting first two LPs from this San Francisco punk band. Were unafraid to call out and challenge sexism they encountered from male audience members by inviting men on-stage to strip.
10:15 PM		Amyl and The Sniffers Got You Amyl and The Sniffers ATO Records 2019 Debut LP from this Australian punk band. Released a new album - Comfort to Me - earlier this year.
10:17 PM		Bikini Kill Hamster Baby Pussy Whipped Bikini Kill Records LLC 2012 Drummer Tobi Vail on vocals. Scheduled to play at the Rialto on May 2nd, 2022.
10:24 PM		The Chrome Cranks I'm Trash Ain't No Lies In Blood Racing Cam Records 2012 Overlooked noisy blues-punk from Ohio by way of NYC.
10:27 PM		The Flaming Stars Forget My Name Songs from the Bar Room Floor UK 1996 Debut LP from this English garage punk band formed by ex-Gallon Drunk drummer Max Décharné.
10:30 PM		Interpol The Scale Our Love To Admire Matador 2020 Third studio LP from the Manhattan-based and post-punk influenced band. Several members cite this LP as their least favorite due to challenges and difficulties -professional and personal - in recording it.
10:33 PM		My Dad Is Dead Whirlpool The Taller You Are, The Shorter You Get Homestead 1989 Self-release from this post-punk project of Ohio musician Mark Edwards. Early recordings/performances were just him on guitar accompanied by a drum machine.
10:43 PM		Opal Supernova Happy Nightmare Baby SST 1987 Psychedelic post-punk -almost shoegazey- band from Los Angeles. Only studio LP from the band. Founding member and guitarist would join Hope Sandoval on vocals and form Mazzy Star.
10:47 PM		PJ Harvey Long Snake Moan To Bring You My Love Universal-Island Records Ltd. 1995 Third studio LP from the great English singer/songwriter. Fans of Captain Beefheart will appreciate the nods throughout to Don Glen Vliet.
10:52 PM		Savages Husbands Silence Yourself Matador 2013 Critically acclaimed debut LP from this noisy post-punk influenced act. I doubt the title is a reference to the John Cassavetes' film with the same title. But that is what it reminds me of.
10:55 PM		Crass Nagasaki Nightmare Best Before 1984 One Little Independent 2019 Confrontational, experimental, controversial- all and so many more "-al" adjectives can describe this English anarcho-punk band. Difficult to digest but rewarding once it clicks. If at all.
11:04 PM		The Residents Easter Woman Commercial Album Cherry Red Records 2017 Originally released in 1980. All tracks on this release one-minute in length, with the album meant to be played consecutively three times to form a pop song/ SIlly Residents!
11:05 PM		Kraftwerk Showroom Dummies Trans-Europe Express (Remastered) Parlophone UK 2009 Classic Kraftwerk. Musically, share connections in sound to David Bowie's German trilogy and Iggy Pop's The Idiot. Which makes sense, as members of Kraftwerk met with Bowie and Pop prior to recording of this LP and influenced several lyrics.
11:11 PM		MOON Hydrogen Moon E.P. M.O.O.N. Holdings 2011 Boston synth act with a cut from their debut EP. This cut heard on the ultra-violent mobile game Miami Hotline.

11:38 PM		Ministry We Believe Twitch Sire/Warner Records 1986 Second Ministry studio LP and more accessible, before Al Jourgensen and company would veer down a more industrial sound.
11:44 PM		Killing Joke Primitive (Rough Mix) Killing Joke Virgin Catalogue 2005 Bonus cut on the 2005 re-release of Killing Joke's amazing debut LP, originally released in 1980. "The Wait" another fine cut from this release, would later be covered by Metallica.
11:51 PM		Wire Finest Drops It's Beginning To and Back Again Mute, a BMG Company 1989 iHasta luego!

Hello "Halftime At the Apocalypse" holdovers!

Who is the warm up act and who is the headliner?

Nots headlined. I believe a band from Phoenix opened. They were good, just forgot the name.

So this Lora Logic tune is actually from their first album from 1979?

I believe so, yes.

I didn't know if the version from the anthology was a different version from the first album.

Should be the original cut. It's an extensive compilation.

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't remember Frightwig at all. I wish I did.

I recently discovered the band. Don't blame ya.

You play some really cool stuff, Julio. Glad I found this show.

Gracias

YOU'RE KILLIN' IT TONIGHT! I've never tuned in, but I'll try to do so more often.

So...I still don't get the label "blues-punk" for The Chrome Cranks, based on the tune that was played, versus just a simple genre of "punk". What's the difference?!?

Hi Chris! I appreciate you listening and saying hello!

I heard no blues, lol

I've got so many bands to look up now

Haha, Dan, as I've stated before, all these labels are arbitrary and made up. Sounds bluesy to me, so I apply the label. Just one man's opinion.

Agreed. That's what I've always said...they're arbitrary. But other lookups for The Chrome Cranks yields the same labels, and it's pissing me off, lol

Chris, hope you discover some gems.

haha, agree to disagree then on the labeling

We can do that here. ha ha

I love PJ Harvey's music, as well as Don Van Vliet's.

Nice selection.

Just you wait.

Crass. What a find.

This is golden.

Familiar with Crass?

No, that's why I'm so impressed.

Band members were all legit hippies prior to.

Why does this sound believable?

haha, because it is

And look at you: you've made good on a promise to play excerpts from The Commercial Album. Awesome.

I try.

LOL

In 1980, this was BY FAR my favorite Residents album to date.

You know that Snakefinger, who routinely played with The Residents in the late 70s/early 80s, did a version of Kraftwerk's "The Model", right? It was on his album "Chewing Hides The Sound".

Not familiar with that at all. Gonna have to check it out.

Good.

Would love to hear more Krautrock! :-)

Oh we will!

Nighty night. Don't let the bedbugs bite
