7.16.02 Iron Maiden 'Iron Maiden'

Don't get me wrong, I like 'Killers' also, but this record is searing white hot. Whoa!

7.15.02 Beck 'One Foot In The Grave'

I was in some crummy bands in college and then I got this record and played the songs for them on my guitar and told them that I wrote them. No kidding, I did that. I mean, I gave up the ruse after awhile.

7.14.02 The Smiths 'Strangeways Here We Come'

All great except for that 'Oh Glenn' song...I don't even know the title. That song totally sucks.

7.13.02 MC5 'Back In The USA'

I found a white label promo copy of this classic at the Maxwell Street Market last month, it was $30! I bought it regardless because this record totally shreds.

7.12.02 Desperate Bicycles 'The Medium Was Tedium'

I don't have this 45, though I cetainly wish that I did. Two hot tracks, nearly as good as The Fall.

7.11.02 Chuck Berry 'One Dozen Berrys'

The toilet watcher invented the rock, if'n you ask me. Fooking classic!

7.10.02 Angry Samoans 'Yesterday Started Tomorrow'

A lot of people don't like this record, and that confounds me because I think it's hella good. And I don't say hella a lot.

7.9.02 Tyrannosaurus Rex 'Beard Of Stars'

The Minutemen covered one of these tracks on the 'My First Bells' cassette, that's good enough for me.

7.08.02 Kool Keith 'Sex Style'

J. Scott Rutherford gave me a mini-disc with 'Make Up Your Mind' on it, man I was hooked.

7.07.02 Killdozer 'Intellectuals Are The Shoeshine Boys...'

This'n has got Ed Gein & all sorts of other good tracks. This also turned me on to CCR, no shit. I was young, gimme a break.

7.06.02 K.D. Lang 'Ingenue'

Even though this is all adult contemporary, I'm totally into it. Paul Ruffino is the coolest guy alive.

7.05.02 Electric Eels 'The Eyeball Of Hell'

Amazing collection, the double E's make me proud to be from the mistake by the lake.

7.04.02 Can 'Monster Movie'

Too bad I don't smoke grass, it would probably make Can sound better.

7.03.02 Various Artists 'The Blasting Concept'

I bought this as a yougster, actually it was my mams. She must not have looked at the cover, it being all sexist and all.

7.02.02 Boogie Down Productions 'By All Means Necessary'

KRS-One has a giant nose and he married some giant woman, not that I'm one to knock size or anything.

7.01.02 Timex Social Club 'Rumors'

Dude, I'm totally nuts.

6.30.02 Pere Ubu 'Dub Housing'

I like a lot of Pere Ubu, but this LP takes the cake. It's kind of scary. I bet that Dave Thomas can eat a lot of sandwiches.

6.29.02 The Fall 'Dragnet'

Jeremy Pickett traded me this for the first Danzig LP. While I miss the Danzig LP, I like this one a lot more. Came with the insert, totally eBay-able.

6.28.02 Captain Beefheart 'Mirror Man'

Kandy Korn, over and over again.

6.27.02 Adam And The Ants 'Dirk Wears White Socks'

I discovered this'n in college, man - it's still so good. The music is totally all pointy! Like it could cut you up!

6.26.02 Beach Boys 'Smile'

I have 7 or 8 different versions of this recording already, but I got a new version that totally rules, mang. If you care.

6.25.02 Ratt 'Invasion Of Your Privacy'

Man, don't ask me why I like this record. I'll totally deny it. I had it as a youngster, I really liked the one before this, also. That Warren Demartini totally shreds.

6.24.02 Butthole Surfers 'Humpty Dumpty LSD'

Prime issue of underground cuts from when they were good. Then they became jerks and sued Touch & Go because they thought they should be rolling in the bucks. Good grief.

6.23.02 Kathy McCarty 'Dead Dog's Eyeball'

Bob Burg got me into this. She followed this with another EP of Daniel Johnston's stuff and Bob was like, 'What is she gonna make a career of doing that?' She has a pretty good part in that movie Slacker as the daughter of a tall-tale teller who says he fought in the Lincoln Brigade.

6.22.02 Wreckless Eric 'Wreckless Eric'

That Stiff label didn't ever seem to live up to it's reputation. One of the gems of that era.

6.21.02 XTC 'Drums & Wires'

I first got this on tape as a cut-out at Heartbeat Records in Kent, Ohio. The owner was totally wacky.

6.20.02 The Monks 'Black Monk Time'

Man, The Fall covered a lot of these songs. Listen to Extricate. That stuff is pretty lame, though.

6.19.02 Robert Wyatt 'Rock Bottom'

I didn't listen to this record today, but it sure is a good record. I love my garden.

6.18.02 Geto Boys 'We Can't Be Stopped'

You know that song, 'You Got To Let Your Nuts Hang'? Well, that's true.

6.17.02 Smog 'Knock Knock'

I gots to thank Ed Smalling for getting me into this LP. Thanks, Ed Smalling. Sometimes I have to pee in the middle of the night.

6.16.02 Biz Markie 'Best Of Cold Chillin'

6.15.02 Kinks 'Something Else'

I had some Mr. Hero in Ohio, that's a tasty restaurant.

6.14.02 Slits 'Cut'

Brought it with me for the trip to Ohio. That place is crummy.

6.13.02 Scooby Doo 'OST'

Call me kooky, but that 'Land Of A Million Drums' track is wicked cool. That's something totally Canadian to say. Wicked Canadian.

6.12.02 Aphex Twin 'Come To Daddy'

My cousin asked me, 'Do you have any weird music?' so I played him some Whitehouse. He didn't like that so I played him this. He liked this, so we listened to it. 12 year olds listening to Whitehouse, that's a hoot!

6.11.02 Big Star 'What's Goin' Ahn'

Ok, a CD in the Record Of The Day section. A stinking crime, right? This is a fantastic CD. Chock full of Alternate tracks & instrumentals. I got it from Evil Clown - quite a good CD store.

6.10.02 Tank 'Honour & Blood'

Why am I so crazy about 80's metal? It simply has to be the influence of John 'Hot Dog' Marcher or Dave 'Steamroller' Piper. This record is one of the of the greatest records ever released. Even Julia fully dug it. And she hates everything. Except for Danzig. She just loves Danzig. Anyway, there's a song on this record called 'The War Drags Ever On'. If you want a copy of this record. I'll be happy to tape it for you. For free. That's how much I believe in Tank.

6.09.02 Queen 'Jazz'

Good grief, what could possibly topple the double A-Side of 'Fat Bottomed Girls' & 'Bicycle Race'? Absoulutely nothing!

6.08.02 Saccharine Trust 'Pagan Icons'

Yes, indeed.

6.07.02 Metallica 'Master Of Puppets'

I listened to this cassette tape in the car on the way to work and on the way home from work.

6.06.02 The Fall 'Perverted By Language'

Often, I like to rock the song 'Tempo House' out as loud as possible. Today was a day in which I did that.

6.05.02 Sonic Youth 'Walls Have Ears'

Please excuse the elitist nature of listing a hard to find bootleg. I had to send a copy of this to Tim Gilbride and rocked it out 4 times. That's 300 minutes of wankery.

6.04.02 Misfits 'If You Don't Know This Song...'

Ah, the Misfits bootleg. Usually a total fucking disaster. This one is real good. Heavy nod to Jacques Gauvin. Fucking Jacques Gauvin!

06.03.02 Velvet Underground 'Velvet Underground'

Oh, the record of the day. It's the mighty VU that I listened to today. Why? Hmmm. Dunno.

06.02.02 Rollins Band 'Life Time'

Good grief. That Rollins will say some dumb stuff, but this record is awfully heavy and mean. Mean and heavy.

06.01.02 Curtis Mayfield 'Curtis Live!'

Simply for the track 'If There's Hell Below...', this LP is extra hot.
