Big Black Covers

A while back, I downloaded an internet album called "We are the ready men," which was a Big Black tribute album. The link is dead, but here are 7 of the songs (which is all I could find on my hard drive).

Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel - Nail

One of my favorite efforts from Foetus (1985). Solid industrial like it was meant to be. Listening to it makes me want to get and abortion, and I'm not even a woman! Play it for your mama, and she'll probably wish she had had one.

1) Theme From Pigdom Come
2) The Throne Of Agony
3) !
4) Pigswill!
5) Descent Into The Inferno
6) Enter The Exterminator
7) DI-1 9026
8) The Overture From Pigdome Come
9) Private War
10) Anything (Viva!)

Nomeansno Presents: One Down Two to Go

Here's a rarity (at least it's hard to find in Seattle, which is just South of B.C.). It features the musical adventures of Mr. Right & Mr. Wrong. It's not my favorite Nomeansno album, but I still like it a lot. If you are a fan, then you will too. One thing about this album is the mix of musical styles, which, although consistent with the band's overall work, is not usually found on a single album.

Track Listing:

Intro
Red on Red
Who Fucked Who
Pigs and Dogs
Widget
More Icbms
Blinding Light
I'm Doing Well
This Wound Will Never Heal
Real Love
Remember
Baldwang Must Die
Victoria
Sitting on Top of the World
Canada Is Pissed
Burn

D&A Presents - H.C. Comp 1

The other day I burned a disk for work, and I liked it so much, I thought I would share. This download has 30 sweet tracks that I would highly recommend (assuming you like hard core, anyway). These songs are from a variety of sources, included those links at the bottom right. Thanks for the fun!

Chicks On Speed - The Re-Releases Of The Un-Releases

Chicks On Speed, from Munich, Germany, can be described as funny, silly and sometimes techno-punk. This album contains many of their better known songs. Enjoy!

NoMeansNo - Would We Be Alive?

My favorite Northwest (or is it Southwest?) band is probably NoMeansNo from Vancouver, B.C. If for some strange reason you don't know this band, then you should. Although not their greatest effort, this 4 song EP is a good start. Their music style could be described as bass-centered H.C., and it sure beats the crap out of boring music like Primus. They are also an awesome live act. I caught several shows that also featured D.O.A. and other acts like M.D.C. I was never disappointed.

Suicide - Ghost Riders

The first US "industrial" act, dating to the 1970s, was Suicide. Their drum machine was made from a bowling pin setter. People threw knives at them on stage.

Track Listing:
Rocket U. S. A.
Rock 'N' Roll (Is Killing My Life)
Ghost Rider
Dream Baby Dream
Sweet White Lady
Harlem
96 Tears - (bonus track)

I've always been particularly fond of Sweet White Lady. "Don't do heroin."

No Trend - More

Why do I like No Trend? Because I just do. If you don't get it, then you probably never will. The No Hopus Opus is as relevant today as when it was first recorded (whatever that means).

Track Listing
1. Intro
2. Fuzzy Dice
3. Sorry I Asked
4. Spank Me (With Your Love Monkey, Baby)
5. Last On Right, Second Row

Raw Power - Trust Me!

The other day, my 4-year old daughter and I were driving down the road. She said, "Daddy, I wanna hear some Rock-N-Roll!" So I played her Raw Power. She pumped her fist, and screamed, "Now, that's Rock-N-Roll!!!"

Sure is, sweetie. She knows how to make her father proud.

This album from 2000 compares very favorably with earlier material (for a change). Play it LOUD for the children.

Track List:

1. Feed Them Grazioli
2. Give Me A Drink
3. What Can We Do?
4. Suicidal
5. Take Your Hands Off Me!
6. Can't Put Up With It

8. Not Here, Not Now, Not Me
9. George
10. Can't Do That
11. Don't Blame Me
12. Poverty

Joy Division - Warsaw Studio Demos 1978 & 1979 aka "Fun Multiplication II" bootleg

Joy Division - Warsaw Studio Demos 1978 & 1979
aka "Fun Multiplication II" bootleg
(Click to enlarge)

Now that it's time to start posting direct music, rather than old downloads, I though I would start with one of my favorite CDs (at least judging by the number of times I listened to it). Joy Division - Warsaw Studio Demos 1978 & 1979 aka "Fun Multiplication II" bootleg is much rawer than most of their studio albums, and that's probably why I like it so much.

Track Listing:
All of This For You
Leaders Of Men
Failures
Novelty
They Walked In Line
No Love Lost
Exercice One (First Peel Session)
Insight (First Peel Session)
She ‘s Lost Control (First Peel Session)
Transmission (First Peel Session)
Transmission
Living In The Ice Age
Interzone
Warsaw

MC Hawking sez "Fuck the Creationists!"

Few know (or seem to care) that world famous physicist Steven W. Hawking leads a double life as a ruthless gangsta rapper with the tag line MC Hawking.

Now available is all his past downloads that you can't get right now. Also includes Why Won't Jesse Helms just hurry up and die? (thankfully, the fat pig-fucker finally did), and others that your mama would be appalled if you missed.

Deviation

Concluding (for now) the earlier Belorussian theme, Deviation is interesting and has more range than the previous two selections. In fact, the lead singer actually sings. Imagine.

Cuba punk rocker spared jail term

Cuba punk rocker spared jail term:
A court in Havana, Cuba, has ordered a punk rock musician to pay a fine of $30 (£15) for public disorder for playing his band's music too loud.

However, Gorki Aguila was cleared of a more serious charge that could have led to a jail sentence.

The lead singer of band Porno Para Ricardo is known for songs that ridicule Cuba's communist government.

He had faced a possible four year term in prison for the crime known in Cuba as social dangerousness.

The controversial law allows the jailing of people who the authorities believe have been displaying behaviour that would indicate they could be on the verge of committing a crime.

Dissent

Continuing with the Belorussian theme, here's another great band called Dissent, and they even sing in English. Includes a cover of Minor Threat's Filler. It's good/bad solid H.C. Punk. Check it out.

Antiglobalizator

Even though I don't speak Belorussian (at least I assume), I really can't get enough of this band. Antiglobalizator, from Belarus, features both male anf female vocals, and they sound really pissed off. They also really rock hard. Unfortunately, these tracks download at a glacial speed (not to mention frequent time outs), which would probably discourage most people. (Check out the source Here.) Therefore, I'm going to offer it here. Spread the word.
