Dread Zeppelin – “Un-Led-Ed” (1990)
UK release on I.R.S. Records
Limited edition picture disc LP

These guys were so fun, and I still really enjoy this album. I love when a band has a gimmick (mixing genres, mimicking famous bands, etc.) that they commit so fully to while also having the skills to really pull it off. ZEPPELIN MUSIC INNA REGGE STYLE!

I mean, even Robert Plant endorsed these guys, saying their version of “Your Time Is Gonna Come” was better than the original 🤯

And they were from Sierra Madre, CA. For me, that town is best known for where they keep all the floats right before the start of the Rose Parade. 🌹

#Reggae #Rock #CoverBands #music #90s

Side B shows the band name in similar font to side A at the top of the disc. Black background with picture of the band in the trunk of a pink car. Fat Elvis character is on the left in full 70s era Elvis garb

@Defiance this was a favourite with my early-90s flatmates in Cardiff. The band even made it to Wales, so we got to see them.. Tort Elvis Lives!

Every jukebox sound have John Cage’s 4’33” on it, just to make it trivial to turn this shit off for a while. £2 for 45 minutes of no bad music? Fucking bargain.

Just finished checking out the new Shellac a day early. It's pretty wild (because of course it is). It's not lost on me that the final song is "I Don't Fear Hell", which is a pretty fuckin badass way to go out. If there is a Hell, I would hope the late Steve Albini isn't there now. And I figure if there is one, he's probably not.

@jake4480 this has been a weird week or so. As far as I know, Albini is the first (near) contemporary to die of “natural causes”.

Gwelais i’r gair “tatterdemalion” mewn erthygl yn yr @lrb heddi, gair dw i’n cofio dysgu oddi wrth , sy’n disgrifio ei hunan rhywle fel “a tatterdemalion Taliesin”.

Dw i’n darllen cyfrol o’i draethodau nag oedd wedi’u casglu cyn y 1990au, ac mae ei ddull yn fwy blodeuog, hyd yn oed, nag yw e yn ei lyfrau cyhoeddiedig.

Pwy sy’n nabod y gair “persiflage”, er enghraifft?

…neu “coloquintida”, sef rhywbeth chwerw tu hwnt?

Mae’n ymddangos yn “Othello”, mae’n debyg, ond mae’n sbel ers i fi ddarllen honna.

Newydd gael fy e-lyfr cyntaf o Lyfrgell Ceredigion, ac roedd yn broses hynod o hawdd. Mae’n well ‘da fi ddarllen llyfrau go iawn fel rheol, ond doedd dim copi caled o’r hwn gyda nhw, felly es i am y fersiwn digidol.

Dim angen ap arbennig, darllen yn y porwr. Perffaith.

Wedi dweud ‘ny, mae ap yn edrych yn dda, yn cyd-amseru gyda fy nghyfri llyfrgell yn ddi-ffwdan, ac yn ymddangos yn Gymraeg yn ddi-ofyn, ac yn cynnwys llyfrau sain, ac o pam na chlywais i am hyn o’r blaen?

As always, apologies to those who don't like gross death metal (keep scrolling!) but for those who DO like gross death metal, I somehow missed this LP from GORUPTED (a one man band/project from France) last year. No idea how.

This might've made my favorite albums list from last year, had I heard it. It's THAT good of gross death metal.
