This "Wanda Vision" spinoff looks interesting. Darker too.

The state of U.S. made EVs remains underwhelming and now looks to remain so for many more years to come. US automakers remain hooked on high margin trucks, and EVs are too often large SUV types or extremely short in range.

I don't want to promote the horrible labor practices that, in part, make Chinese EVs so much more affordable, but tariffs and bans don't seem like the best way forward.

An old bootleg worth checking out if you're into BoC (and who isn't?).

#CurrentSpins – #MaryTimony – Untame the Tiger (2024). #IndieRock guitarist/ singer-songwriter Timony hasn't cut a solo album in 19 years, remaining active in a gaggle of groups, including Ex Hex. Here, Timony shows herself as one of the best-kept secrets in rock.

The album combines power pop with sparse acoustic material, lyrically touching on grief (both her parents died during the making of the album) without sounding aggrieved. Ex-Fairport Convention Dave Mattacks drums on several tracks.

The Angry Samoans – “Inside My Brain” (1980)
US pressing on Bad Trip Records
12", 45 RPM

Certainly in my top 5 punk bands. They were a great representation of the punk ethos of their time. Angry, snotty, divisive, offensive, and raw.

Lots of infighting with the scene, best demonstrated by their diss track about Rodney Biggenheimer.

Lee Ving is alleged to have produced this album but asked not to have his name credited because of “Get Off The Air”.

I can’t tell if this is a first or second pressing from 1980, or a repressing from 1983. Pretty sure I bought this used, which is why there’s red marker writing on the cover.

#SteveAlbini produced and/or engineered so many albums central to my youth. What an amazing and prolific life!

Ramones – “It's Alive”
Germany release on Sire Records, 1981
2 disc LP Gatefold

Another import I was eager to find after a friend got this and we’d listen to the whole thing repeatedly.

This is a second pressing from Germany in 1981. Got this around 1990. Even then this was hard to find and import only.

It remains their best live album imho. Recorded on New Year’s Eve 1977 in London, they took the best of 3 performances, and it shows. You can hear how excited the crowd was throughout the album.

I was unaware Daryl Hall did this kind of power pop / post-punk music. Is all of his solo stuff like this? Digging this track rn. 🎸 🤩

Dain Bramage – “I Scream Not Coming Down” (1986)

Bob Fartblossom, aka Bob Durkee, was a kind of local underground celeb where I grew up. After putting out releases from his own band (Pillsbury Hardcore) he started his own label and put out bands like Justice League, Three Day Stubble, and Subculture. I’d buy pretty much anything on the label in the mid to late 80s.

This has become a bit of a novelty item since it’s Dave Grohl’s first band.

Comes with glossy fold-out insert with photos, and “thanks” list, a postcard, and the text "David Grohl destroys Tama drums exclusively” in the lower left corner.

Also, engraved on one side's runoff is the message "Everything Matters" while on the other side is etched "Time Doesn't Matter".

Kudos to @HailsandAles for including Italian band ZOLLE on his #FletchsFridayReleases, to @kevin for listening to it/pointing it out ("it needs its own genre") - hadn't heard em, this album is WILD. It's magical, odd & definitely deserves a listen. For fans of Andrew WK, Ween, Church of the Cosmic Skull? 😂

Lunachicks - “Sugar Luv” EP

Double 7” gatefold (1989)
Original UK pressing on Blast First Records (Import)

Working at an independent record store allowed me to order imports like this one. Pretty sure I heard “Jan Brady” on the radio and immediately wanted to get this disc.

Turns out my favorite track is their cover of “Get Off The Road”. I played the hell out of this on my radio show.

Also got to meet these crazy chicks when they toured with L7 and Fugazi in ‘92.

OK, here we go. Gonna start with some 7" records.

Split record featuring Big Drill Car covering Cheap Trick's "Surrender" on the A-side, and Chemical People covering the Kiss / Ace Frehley song "Getaway"

1991
Original pressing on yellow vinyl

I love covers. I liked both of these bands and got to meet and interview both of them right around the release of this record. Covering two of my favorite bands too!

I don't think this guy actually watches TV. Not even the long running, hilarious and often very non-PC series created and starring the co-creator of "Seinfeld".

Kara Swisher literally helped build up these billionaires to the point where they can threaten us with fascism, and now she’s trying to pretend that she’s the one providing a big warning to the world. It boils my blood.
