[2002] Roky Erickson and The Aliens - The Evil One (plus one)

[2002] Roky Erickson and The Aliens - The Evil One (plus one)

Love Roky Erickson, and 1981's The Evil One is easily the best album he ever did. An sbsolutely flawless album. After the first two Aliens records his song writing really started to fluctuate though. Absolute fecking stonkers mixed with fairly mediocre nonsense. Every single album is well worth a listen just to find those complete diamonds. Highly recommended. And another wee thing from Roky will be coming tomorrow!

[2022] Blondie - Union City Underground

[2022] Blondie - Union City Underground 

Compilation of Rarities. I took a couple of tracks from the new Against The Odds Boxset then added more tracks from various Reissues, Remasters and Bootlegs. I didn't want to be to obvious, but I think I've come up with a fairly eclectic and enjoyable collection.

[2002] Blondie - Greatest Hits

[2002] Blondie - Greatest Hits  

With the drop of the massive Book + 8CD Remaster Against The Odds 1974 - 1982 I thought I'd pop up my favourite Blondie Best of. I hear there is another volume of Rarities etc coming as well.

[1993] Andrew Fagan - Blisters

[1993] Andrew Fagan - Blisters

Andrew is the singer of The Mockers and this is his first brilliant solo album. Not one weak track and a long time favourite.

[1980] KISS - AOTEAROA UNMASKED

[1980] KISS - Western Springs Stadium ~ Auckland, New Zealand (3 Dec. 1980)

Thought I'd post something that was recorded just down the road from where I live. This is everywhere on the net in various forms, but I've given it my twist and included the 1980 Tourbook with it as well. First tour with Eric after Peter "left" the band.

[1992] Faster Pussycat - Whipped! (2022 BLR Remastered Expanded Edition)

[1992] Faster Pussycat - Whipped! (2022 BLR Remastered Expanded Edition)

That ever generous gent Mr. Rick Rose Rude sent me a couple of Faster Pussycat Promos with a couple of mixes I hadn't heard before. Those two tracks are the last ones on this collection. I've made it all flow nicely throughout so here you go. And of course I've whipped myself a wee cover. Don't really have to recommend this one I guess...

[1992] Faster Pussycat - Whipped! (2022 BLR Remastered Expanded Edition)

[2022] A Flock Of Seagulls - Machines Made Man

[2022] A Flock Of Seagulls - Machines Made Man

A compilation of B-Sides and Rarities etc all given the Black Lodge Relics treatment. I've loved the first album since I was a kid and I still absolutely love it today.

[2022] The Cure - Let's Go To Heaven (The Acoustic EP)

[2022] The Cure - Let's Go To Heaven (The Acoustic EP)

I was gonna post something completely different today, but things change. I was reminicing about a girl I once knew who loved The Cure, so I put together this collection of favourite acoustic tracks. Kinda funny how sometimes some very sad memories can also be sweet ones.

[1987] Redd Kross - Neurotica

[1987] Redd Kross - Neurotica

[1984] Teenage Head - Teenage Head In An Endless Party (Live)

[1984] Teenage Head - Teenage Head In An Endless Party (Live)

Gord Lewis the legendary guitarist of Teenage Head has tragically been killed. Sadly it appears to have been by his son. As just a wee tribute I thought I'd post this live album. R.I.P. to another legend. Check out my previous Teenage Head post, Frantic City.

[1987] Easter - Easter (2006 CDr Reissue)

[1987] Easter - Easter (2006 CDr Reissue)

From memory this was a Myspace release, or I got it from someone on there. Can't quite remember. Anyway this compiles both the album and the 12" EP. Mike Ness from Social Distortion played with them for a couple of years as well.

[1987] Easter - Easter (2006 CDr Reissue)

[1982] Crucial T. - Darkened Days (7'' Single)

[1982] Crucial T. - Darkened Days (7'' Single)

Alex Mitchell from Circus Of Powers early Hardcore Punk band. I really like the track Darkened Days, but the rest is pretty much just your usual Hardcore Punk screaming which I never got. Funny because I like Black and Death Metal. Anyway it's worth a listen for anyone who likes Circus Of Power and Alex's other bands Fat Nancy and Uncle Max's Cosmic Band. 

[1982] Crucial T. - Darkened Days (7'' Single)

[1982] Screaming Sneakers - Marching Orders (EP)

[1982] Screaming Sneakers - Marching Orders (EP)

Early South Florida Punk/New Wave band. Really wish they'd done more than this one EP.

[1996] NY Loose - Year Of The Rat (2022 BLR Expanded Edition)

[1996] NY Loose - Year Of The Rat (2022 BLR Expanded Edition)

Only thing missing is the Live track Boom Boom from the Fade 7" that was given away with the Fear & Loathing Fanzine. I've included another Live version of  Boom Boom from a Bootleg so that fills in the gap. Many thanks to Rick for filling in some of the B-Sides I was missing. And of course I've done my own cover. I can't recommend this enough, coz the NY Loose are fecking awesome!!!

[2022] The Linda Lindas - Rats, Cats & Rebel Girls (The YouTube Tapes)

Been loving The Linda Lindas for a long time, and the album Growing Up is one of my favourites of the year so far. Originally I compiled this just for myself, but I've just decided to share it. Quality varies as you'd expect as it's from so many sources. Thanks to all the original posters.
