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).

        Nausea - Extinction LP
        Nausea - Cybergod/Lie Cycle LP
        (Sick reissues of essential classics. Been lookin’ for a copy of Extinction for 30 years. Hope some genius reissues HHIG’s Monuments to Thieves soon.)

        Love & Compassion - Or Else demo
        Witness 2024 demo
        (Love & Compassion are sick as fuck with some Nausea/Axegrinder vibes but keep it fresh (from the gutter.) Witness is the most insane hardcore shit I’ve heard in a long time. The guitar tones destroy everything that’s come before it. Unrelentingly brutal. I turn this up as loud as the car stereo goes and roll the windows down to terrorize the squares.)

        I' never really dug into Status Quo but have been jamming this record but have been jamming this LP pretty constantly as of late. Great psych pop with just enough of the heaviness to keep me fully invested. Nearly perfect album although I could do without the Tommy Roe cover

        i grew up with a mom who loved the beatles/monkees and a dad who loved prog rock and i think '70s genesis and elo is where it all meets in the middle. plus im currently transcribing an interview i did with steve hackett

        Augustus Pablo - Ital Dub LP
        Weed store gave me not 1 but 2 free pre-rolls.

        Undertones - S/T LP
        The very same red-tag bargain bin Sire copy that I got from Amoeba Berkeley when I was 16 years old.

        Barmy Army - The English Disease LP
        On-U/Sherwood football themed tomfoolery / provocation w/Al Jourgensen & Jah Wobble doing bullshit. Not the sort of thing you'll spin end on end.

        Kraftwerk - Ralf und Florian LP
        It's almost like they decided to have fun after making this one.

        Faxed - Grotesque Rescue LP
        To repeat what my buddy said as we spun this over the weekend: "If this was a real band, it would be my favorite band." Works almost too well. Love it.

          I’ve been listening to listening to the Danzig s/t for the past few weeks in the hopes that I’d see him play tonight, but it was not to be. Anyway I forgot how good it is. I hated misfits growing up because it was so hot topic-ified by then, but I’ve come to love it in recent years. I always forget what a genuinely great singer he is.

          • Throwing Muses - Moonlight Concessions. I'm a huge fan of everything Kristin Hersh has ever done. This feels a little bit more like a solo album than a Throwing Muses one, certainly compared to the last album they did. It's great though, concise and heartfelt. Cannot wait to see them again in May.

          • Dumbells - Up Late With... It's really getting under my skin this.

          • Tyrades - I Am Homocide/I Got A Lot. Didn't get into these until after they'd split. Really good stuff.

            Mitch C. Bummed there's no Happy Mondays in the mix. Was interested to hear updates on a life of glamour

            Allez Al Glad to hear it!

            Currently listening to Cheap Time- Wallpaper Music. With the exception of the second album every Cheap Time album is rock solid front to back.

              Allez Al tyrades are so rad. I missed them in their time also but heard they were killer live.
