    monstrous live recording, low fidelity but the power of Tyner's vox comes screeching through and his insane mic control is a highlight no doubt. Skronky sax adventures and the band's freeist momentum prevail. Masterful musical intuition throughout.

    Totally. And I prefer it over the more well-known boots like "Saginaw Civic Center" and "Sturgis Armory". Here's a nice rendition of Fire of Love from the former too. The guitars at the end are fantastic:

      Been listening to a lot of Kitchen’s Floor lately. Love that band. None of That is such a good record. I really dig it all though.

        Some trashy proto-punk psych…

        weird to think those whenever this is 90, 91 (this was on one of the singles) Greebo bands were influenced by The Stooges.

              Recently I got into Pavement. Overall I've been checking a lot of what was the indie rock that I was alergic to it and I've been digging it a lot. Guided by Voices and Sonic Youth are two of my favourite bands nowadays, I did ignore them for years and they are so good. Pavement may not be that amazing but still they are great too, "Slanted and Enchanted" is in fact a very good album.

                  Say Yes To Apes 'Who's That' - Excellent set of note-spasms from the NZ class of '83. Hearing some Peter Jefferies' cadence in a bit of the vocal work, which has me speculating whether they were one of the bands who were purportedly inspired by all the Nocturnal Projections activity of the era. Did they even make it as far south as Dunedin (where this Ape band is from)?

                  Dransfield 'The Fiddler's Dream' - Real sturdy folk rock not unlike the Richard Thompson's stuff from the same era. Nary a sackbut or crumhorn to be heard either so it's probably a good place to land if yr picky with this kind of chuff.

                  Also, very cool to see Masami Kawaguchi teaming up with Kim Salmon. Looking forward to the rest of it:

                    Okay, quick development: just learned the Say Yes To The Apes singer/guitar man Kevin Smith had a recurring role in the 90s Hercules and Xena shows. Seeing this mugshot really stirred up some long repressed childhood memories...

                    Really enjoying the overlooked debut album by Still Animals, released last year by Slovenly. These days, when so many bands have some kind of post punk vibe, it's refreshing to encounter an act that plays straightforward rock'n' roll punk in the footsteps of Real Kids, The Heartbreakers and Lazy Cowgirls.

                      This is perfect when you want to dissociate from everything

                      This is their best output imo so thanks to Rich for making it available on vinyl

                      Sexy new wawy reggae with a (phony?) french accent. Perfect for my Dj-set on thursday.

                      VIDEOFLIP 12" is great French punk with lots of rock'n'roll in it. I think my fave track is "Pas de mon monde".

                      Record Beach Been listening to a lot of Kitchen’s Floor lately. Love that band. None of That is such a good record. I really dig it all though.

                      Kitchen's Floor have been such a good band for such a long time! really important to me personally too, one of the local australian bands that really dragged me into an obsession with DIY/underground matters... None of That is a really underrated LP too i reckon.. maybe released in a time when LPs weren't getting much traction, but it's easily as good as any of the other early stuff and 'Before Dawn' one of my all-time fave KF songs ..

                        Reminded me to go back and listen to that album some more - definitely agree about their refreshing straight-forward sound. LC's Pat Todd's current group also scratches that itch. Stuck with Slovenly after that to keep me going through mid-afternoon work, and speaking of rocking froggies

                        Then to decompress I checked out this with members of Piranhas and Druid Perfume but was pretty meh upon first listen:

                        Post-dinner shochu in hand, methinking time to blast these Skull Practioners lads (touring guitarist of Dream Syndicate - still, I dunno)

                            Les Lullies are pretty good on record, however, it's on stage where they really shine. Such a razor sharp live band, they put on one of the best shows I saw last year.

                                Cool new French band, played with them in their hometown of Bordeaux a couple weeks ago and they were great live as well. Not sure if people here are into that kind of melodic punk-rock, but here it is anyway :

                                Speaking of French bands, I've been really digging this one lately. Yeah yeah, it's "cold oi" but that's also "my shit" nowadays.

                                Co-signed hard! Les Lullies is OK on record, but live they're amazing (and they cover a lot of great songs on stage, from Dead Moon to the Testors to Strychnine). Possibly my current favorite French live band, super tight and powerful the couple of times I saw them. Two members are also in Patrol (based in Barcelona) whose debut EP is really good.

                                  Clif been slowly coming around to pavement, particularly the early singles and "slanted and enchanted". never been crazy about "indie rock" per se but the early pavement stuff seemed pretty rockin and noisy compared to much of the rest of the genre. recently watched the gary young doc and it made me love em even more. can't say i'm an expert on the band but the early stuff definitely scratches a particular itch for me. also if you've ever been to stockton, ca it makes a lot of sense why they'd make the kind of music they made (place is a hellhole).
