Whitehouse

---

Sorry, I got some good rips coming, but I keep forgetting to take pics of the album art.

In the meantime, here is the debut Whitehouse record, recorded in 1980. If you enjoy getting your teeth drilled, want to feel like you're in a Saw movie, can listen to the Conet Project over and over again, or think Faust is too accessible, then this is right up your alley.
I guess if you like that stuff you already own this and this post is pointless. If you haven't heard it, their second record "Total Sex" is even more brutal, but I still like this one better.

Paul Stanley's Stage Banter

---

My scuzzy coked-out step uncle was a big wig at Casablanca Records when I was a kid, so I got all the KISS records for free much to the envy of my neighborhood chums. I was a huge fan and like many kids, we would spend our free time putting on KISS makeup and playing air guitar to their records. What's cuter than a couple 1st graders singing "Mainline", "Love Gun" or "shock me - we can cum together"?
Though I'm still a fan and even went to see them recently, in adulthood I make fun of them waaay more often than I praise them. How can you not watch Paul Stanley shaking his 58 year old Jewish ass across the stage and not have a huge grin on your face? And by the way, does he dye his chest hair?? Be that as it may, they still put on a great show, and even with the pyro and whatnot, their show would be nothing without Paul's cheesy yet endearing stage banter to the audience (recently with hilarious Wal*Mart plugs!). Here is a great bootleg with 70 tracks of just that.
Also, did you know that he's a painter?

X

VINYL RIP 7"

---

X formed in Sydney Australia in 1977 after Ian Rilen left Rose Tattoo before their debut single was released (though he wrote the classic "Bad Boy For Love".
I think it was about a decade ago, local man about town Mark Murrmann released this 7" of "Home is Where the Floor Is" and three other tracks. It was my first time hearing the band, and I still play this amazing single quite a bit. You can buy their 2 LPs reissued now on CD here.
They're touring the states soon, but unfortunately Ian Rilen died of bladder cancer a few years ago, so he'll be joining original member Steve Lucas in "spirit" only.

Good On Ya!

It's Raining Again...

I like making myself comps when it's raining. Maybe you like downloading rain comps when it's raining.
The last one I made is a bit better maybe, but I only have 125 gigs on my iTunes to work with here...

the Jewws

VINYL RIP 10"

---

For such a great, short lived band, the Jewws put out a 10" with one of the worst covers ever. Don't let that scare you off though, because what you got here is one of the better garage punk records of the '90s (pushing 2000s). I saw 'em live once (not this show, but check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQRn-E8WTsI) and they were every bit as good as all the hype surrounding them at the time. Take a listen and search out their LP "L'Explosion Du Son De Maintenant!"

The Whip

VINYL RIP 7"

---

Jared from Karp teamed up with Joe Preston for a nanosecond and did a short tour and small pressing of this here fine 7".
It sounds a lot like Karp, but you can hear a little move toward the Big Business sound. They were great live when I saw them in S.F. but I liked Karp (and now Big Business) a little bit more. As for Joe Preston, check out Thrones "Sperm Whale" if you get the chance.

The Mutilators

VINYL RIP 7"

---

I don't why something that combines my two favorite things (Rock 'n' Roll and Horror Movies) could bore me so much, but Psychobilly certainly does. There are a couple exceptions, and San Francisco's Mutilators are one of them. Maybe they're not even psychobilly, maybe it's just Gene Vincent on 45 RPM, but either way they were great live and this is a great single. The Mutilators could fit equally well opening for Flipper, Wanda Jackson or playing to a bunch of skinhead-turned-rockabilly fuckwads at a San Diego car show. You just can't put a label on good song writing.
