The Kind - st EP 82 w Pain And Pleasure LP 83


REPOST Request:   O.K. another Illinois band ala PEZBAND ala OFF BROADWAY also both from that late seventies Illinois band scene outside of Chicage getting airplay on teen music stations and sounding very glam style I might add--I was just in fourth grade and didn't know what to call it but rollerskating rink music of the day who read "Dynamite" magazine.

VA - "Difficult Music" Compilation by Johnnie DiiBoy


Around the time Johnnie DiiBoy gave me this compilation he made, Difficult Music was just starting to get a separate divider from 'Industrial Music' at all the record stores in town.  This comp. is missing the song labels so I made it one download of side 1 which is a mix with Rapeman, Big Black, Pigbag, Skinny Puppy, Dead Kennedys, Fear, Happy Flowers and some others you will recognize so list in comments, but it's his inbetween song banter with a theme to the end that I find very fascinating.  Side 2 is a live show by Skinny  Puppy and if you can help label that leave in comments.  Johnny had the difficult music looks as well with random patches of bald head and a long lab coat he always wore.

John Baldry - Good To Be Alive LP 75

Lee Michaels - st LP 69 w 5th LP w Barrel LP w Nice Day For Something LP 73


With such a familiar song as "Do You Know What I Mean" you would think this artist would be much better known but I guess he had a few Vietnam war related tunes that got him classified.  Incredible sounding tunes however.

Kruger Randy & the Bleached Boys - Everything's Groovy in the Sun 7" w BLEECH BOIS


REPOST Request:  Surf rock from Durbain, South Africa. This is pretty interesting and a step back in time. The lyrics are not anything even close to being politically correct, but never uses overly offensive language. At time's I'm kind of a taken back at some of the lyrics, which I hope where meant as a joke of some kind.

On to the actual platter itself, there is a Dick Dale feel to this seven inch but if it is surf rock it pretty much has to in my opinion. "Back in the R.S.A." is a pretty rocking tune the singer on this song, I am not sure which one because it looks like three of them share the vocals sounds like Velvy the lead singer of The Diesel Queens, the likeness is uncanny. "Everything's Groovy in Sun City" is a Beach Boys Parody.

This was released in 1988 on Mykel Board's Seidboard World Enterprises label.

Download if you dare and if you do download it no bitching about it, you've been warned about the content.

Cheers,

Brian Guy

Chocolate Watch Band - No Way Out 67 w The Inner Mystique 68 w One Step Beyond 69 w CD w bonus trax


These guys never made it big outside their San Jose scene but that's O.K. as that is what makes them so special.  First thing I noticed in my initial listen was that JFA's instrumental tune 'Unknown' is no longer unknown as it sounds like 'Dark Side of the Mushroom'.  But this is just the start of the familiarity with tunes like 'Medication', 'Milk Cow Blues', 'I'm Not Like Everybody Else' or 'Sweet Young Thing' so greatly influencing the neo-paisley bands of the 80s.  I know you will enjoy!  P.S. My disk had disc rot for the 2nd LP title track and 5th song after that so they were blank.  I have downloaded from another blog and fixed the file for link 2 below.
