(Only figures like Frank Zappa approach such prolific drive.) As is true of his other solo albums (Getting Even, Dick), the emphasis is on raw, angular noise that sneaks up and steps on your expectations. Ginn's songwriting remains preoccupied with personal freedom and the ways people betray each other. A resigned misanthropy hangs over tracks like "Drifting Away" ("If you want the truth, you'll have to wait for that"), and "I Don't Want It" ("I can't stand the waiting anymore/I need you like a hole in the head"). "On a Roll" fires off an edgy declaration of intent, while the guitars sputter and snarl underneath the rhythm ("I don't wanna think I'm wasting away"). There's no love or escapism here. Ginn naturally vents his paint-peeling instrumental side. "Lame Hollywood Cop" is punked-out hip-hop driven by shuddering guitars and ferociously slapped bass. Ginn plays with a similarly percussive slant on "Military Destroys Mind/Body." "Exiled From Lame Street," on the other hand, effectively flicks between low rider-style funk and a stoner's crawl to make its mournful point -- with plenty of squawking leads to match. On the minus side, this album's not as distinctive as other Ginn offerings. A nagging sameness dogs the arrangements -- "Lame" pops up in three titles -- and Ginn's vocals are workmanlike at best (when you can hear them). Students of the rapid-fire, dirty-bottomed guitar chunk that characterized his Black Flag days will probably appreciate Let It Burn most. <br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/greg-ginn-let-burn-because-dont-live-there-anymore-vinyl-album-black-fkag-guitarist-cruz-records-p-2574">Greg Ginn - Let It Burn Because I Don't Live There Anymore - Vinyl album by Ex Black Fkag guitarist on Cruz Records</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-46939002774862230562011-02-14T11:56:00.000-08:002011-02-14T11:58:07.587-08:00Evil Mothers - Crossdresser - Vinyl LP on Invisible Records<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/evilmothers-cross.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 130px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/evilmothers-cross.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />The industrial noise band Evil Mothers formed in Texas in 1990; comprising frontman Curse Mackey, guitarist Jason Ucab, bassist Patrick Sane and drummers Roland Bobles and B.O.B., the group released its debut album Crossdresser on the Invisible label two years later. After returning in 1994 with Pitchforks and Perverts, the Evil Mothers headlined the Invisible Route 666 tour, which also featured labelmates Psychic TV; in 1995, Mackey also toured as a member of Pigface, returning to record the I Love Fur EP in 1996. The full-length Spider Sex and Car Wrecks followed a year later, and in 1999 the Evil Mothers resurfaced with Beatings--Incriminating Fruit.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/evil-mothers-crossdresser-vinyl-invisible-records-p-2276">Evil Mothers - Crossdresser - Vinyl LP on Invisible Records</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-65105933413294201502011-02-14T11:55:00.000-08:002011-02-14T11:56:39.460-08:00Christian Death - Iconologia - Cassette tape on Triple X Records<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/christendeath-icono.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/christendeath-icono.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />In the middle of pursuing his various goth/glam efforts and using the Christian Death name even while Valor Kand was still leading his own version of the group, Rozz Williams finally did the right thing and got the original lineup back together again for a one-off concert. Well, almost original -- bassist James McGearty sat it out, replaced by one Casey, but otherwise it was Williams, Rikk Agnew, and George Belanger together again, with Rikk's brother Frank adding some guitars as well. Iconologia captures the end result, logically concentrating on Only Theatre of Pain material but with a few ringers as well, including two honest-to-goodness new songs by this particular lineup. Casey actually gets the first word with the introductory "Excommunicamus," a collage of samples that purees everything from sex squeals and church choirs to invocations of Satan and destruction, but after that it's full-band business galore. Kicking off like Only Theatre did, with "Cavity -- First Communion," the revitalized quartet tears into everything with the appropriate punk-inspired energy. Williams wisely doesn't try to replicate his 1982-era singing, instead favoring his higher, clearly Bowie-inspired quaver and jettisoning the bored moaning; he sounds like he's having the time of his life. Agnew shows no slack either, cranking out some great, freaky solos when he's so inclined, while Casey and Belanger keep the band and enthusiastic crowd moving. When it comes to the new songs, "Cry Baby" makes for a nicely fried glammy treat, while "Some Men/The Other" is even more so, an explicit early Bowie tribute that works wonders. In a telling homage to roots, Lou Reed's excoriating "Kill Your Sons" gets a strong runthrough, accompanied by an amusing intro from Williams. <br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/christian-death-iconologia-cassette-tape-triple-records-p-405">Christian Death - Iconologia - Cassette tape on Triple X Records</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-37876257395653558172010-12-06T08:37:00.000-08:002010-12-06T08:43:29.131-08:00The Outfield - Bangin - Vinyl album on Columbia Records 1987<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/The%20Outfield%20-%20Bangin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/The%20Outfield%20-%20Bangin.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Ironically, given their obsession with Americas favorite pastime, the Outfield got their start in Londons East End. Playing under the name the Baseball Boys, the trio of bassist/singer Tony Lewis, guitarist/keyboardist John Spinks, and drummer Alan Jackman played around London and recorded some early demos, attracting the attention of Columbia/CBS Records. They were signed shortly thereafter and began working on their debut album, Play Deep, which was released in 1985. The album was a smash success, going triple platinum, reaching number nine on the album charts, and producing their biggest song, "Your Love," which was a Top Ten hit. To support the album, they launched an international tour opening for Journey and Starship. They began recording their second album in 1986 and in 1987 issued Bangin. While not duplicating the huge commercial success of their debut, it did produce two hit singles, Since You've Been Gone and No Surrender. The band's third album featured a bit of a stylistic shift and was more meticulously produced than their previous efforts. Voices of Babylon, released in 1988, produced a single of the same name, but the band's commercial success was slipping. Jackman left the band after it was recorded and they hired Paul Reed to step in as drummer for the Voices tour.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/products_id/4108">The Outfield - Bangin - Vinyl album on Columbia Records 1987</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-50453039857617263642010-12-06T08:36:00.000-08:002010-12-06T08:37:37.150-08:00Northern Lights - Take You To The Sky - Vinyl LP on Flying Fish Records<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/Northern%20Lights%20-%20Take%20You%20To%20The%20Sky.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/Northern%20Lights%20-%20Take%20You%20To%20The%20Sky.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Northern Lights is a New England-based bluegrass band known for their creative and distinct sound.

This formation of the group released two albums, "Music of the Andes" in 1978, recorded in Quebec, and released on Flying Fish records; and "Pacha Siku" in 1979, recorded in Berkeley, CA, which was released on the Aural Tradition label, in association with the Vancouver Folk Music Festival.

Tyler savored the opportunity to do more than play short bursts, demonstrating his expansive skills on the disc's eight cuts. While the soulfulness remained in his tone, Tyler proved he could handle hard bop chord changes, build and complete ideas and head a jazz combo. The cuts "Dreamsville," "Here's That Rainy Day" and "Like So Many Others" emphasized the jazz connection, but the R&B and blues base came through on "Cutie Pie" and "Count 'Em." This was nicely played, at times above-average, jazz from a celebrated veteran getting to show another side of his musical personality. <br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/products_id/4051">Alvin "Red" Tyler - Graciously - Vinyl album on jazz label Rounder Records 1987</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-45269053444595538862010-10-25T07:28:00.000-07:002010-10-25T07:29:18.426-07:00Junk Monkeys - Soul Cakes - Vinyl album on Restless Records<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/junkmonkeys-soulckaes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 113px; height: 120px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/junkmonkeys-soulckaes.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Formed in the mid-'80s by singer/guitarist David Bierman, guitarist Dave Boutette, bassist Kevin Perri, and drummer Dan Allen, Dearborn, MI's Junk Monkeys evolved from a previous band named Mystery Girls (no, not those Mystery Girls), and cut their teeth in Detroit clubs before finding an unlikely home with L.A.-based Metal Blade Records. Unlikely because Junk Monkey albums like 1989's Soul Cakes, 1990s Five Star Fling, and 1992's Bliss featured hook-laden power pop/punk inspired by '70s legends like Cheap Trick, Big Star, and the Flamin' Groovies; but not so far-fetched when one remembers Metal Blade had also signed the Goo Goo Dolls around the same time. In any case, just as the latter only managed to score mainstream success towards the end of their relationship with the label, the Junk Monkeys too failed to find an audience beyond Michigan and Midwestern borders during their tenure at Metal Blade, eventually departing to record a final live album in 1995's Follies Review before going their separate ways. <br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/products_id/1198">Junk Monkeys - Soul Cakes - Vinyl album on Restless Records</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-27457005306794177132010-10-25T07:27:00.000-07:002010-10-25T07:28:09.858-07:00Lawndale - Sasquatch Rock - Vinyl album on SST Records<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/lawndale-sasquach.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/lawndale-sasquach.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />At the time that this record was released, the very idea of SST records releasing an album of instrumental surf music was bizarre. Nevertheless, if SST was going to release such an album, this was the right one. Lawndale rocks hard throughout this delightful and unpredictable album, uniting styles with effortless glee. Listen to the incredible version of the jazz standard "Take Five," which somehow contains the bridge to Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" -- what kind of twisted individual could imagine that combination? Or having imagined it, made it work in such a seamless and delightful manner? The mix of German oompah band rhythm and Tex-Mex on "Next to the Last Frontier" isn't nearly as odd, since Germans in Texas had a lot to do with the sound of that music, but never have the two influences sounded so distinct and yet so artfully melded before -- at least, when played by a rock band. "March of the Melted Army Men" is more straightforward, a kicking rock song with what is probably the only appearance on a surf album in Greg Ginn's career. The punk rock stalwart turns in a creditable and manic solo that fits in just fine with the orchestrated chaos of the song. Every cut on Sasquatch Rock is a keeper, but there is one standout, the soaring, complex "Instrumental." (Since there are no vocals on the album except for a couple of screams and groans, there is a certain delicate irony here.) "Instrumental" strings together six musical themes ranging from country and soul to jazz and, inevitably, surf music, and tosses in transitions, recaps, and mutations galore to create an amazing medley. Lawndale's output was meager, a mere two albums, but every track they released was splendid and their influence was widely felt. Sasquatch Rock is a must-have for anyone who loves instrumental electric guitar with a surf rock tinge. <br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/products_id/2295">Lawndale - Sasquatch Rock - Vinyl album on SST Records</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-89838365148303266942010-10-23T06:20:00.000-07:002010-10-23T06:22:10.637-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/Joe%20Ely%20%20Dig%20All%20Night.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px; height: 159px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/Joe%20Ely%20%20Dig%20All%20Night.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />West Texas native Ely is a part of a loose confederation of players and singer-songwriters from around Lubbock whose songs have a mythical, larger-than-life quality to them. Ely, along with Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock, was briefly in an acoustic group called the Flatlanders. They released one legendarily obscure record in 1972 that was rereleased to almost ecstatic acclaim in the '90s. When Ely formed his own group in the mid-1970s, they played a hard-driving form of Honky-Tonk music that veered very close to rock. The group capitalized on the more open nature of the Outlaw Country movement and became very popular in Texas, which led to a major-label record deal. The Clash were enamored of Ely's sound and had him come to England to open a tour for them.

For years, he has been a legend among his peers, revered for his keen craftsmanship, vivid emotional color, sweet sense of space and sturdy melodic grace."<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/products_id/4294">David Olney - Eye Of The Storm - Vinyl Album</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-54130210553709346782010-10-23T06:17:00.000-07:002010-10-23T06:19:41.297-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/cia-inthered.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 115px; height: 120px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/cia-inthered.bmp" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />A side project by drummer Glenn Evans of the speed metal band Nuclear Assault, who plays the majority of the instruments on the album.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.roundflat.com/web/product_info.php/products_id/845">CIA - In The Red - Vinyl album featuring Glenn Evans of Nuclear Assault on Combat records</A>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703529730022875204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901853757588714683.post-69063561970341867792010-09-20T06:36:00.000-07:002010-09-20T06:37:04.537-07:00Another Pretty Face - All The Boys Love Carrie - 7 inch record of Mike Scott of The Waterboys<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/anotherprettyface-alltheboys7inch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.roundflat.com/web/images/anotherprettyface-alltheboys7inch.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />The name Another Pretty Face also belonged to a Scottish indie band in the mid-1980s who recorded some fine singles for their own New Pleasures label, which sold in the hundreds, and one for Virgin, 'Whatever happened to the West?' that sold only a little more, despite being acclaimed in the music press.
