ARSENIC MILKSHAKE – Programme atomique.
Local punk band with a great dirty recording and songs about vampires and werewolfs etc.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT?
Day of garage turkey-ism. A-Bones, Garage Punk Unknowns comp, Revelators.
RN I’ve been listening to the Chilean punk band from the 90s Ocho Bolas.
The oldschool four track vibe is the greatest thing about these old south american recordings
Ruby Sprigins of Tolgus was another rec I got, took seeing it wrote down for me to remember to revisit it. Sandy Denny and Pentangle were in there too, will make my way through other recs and report back. Not sure how much I can take without some interspersing of other stuff.

Finally diving into Milan W.'s latest album from Stroom. This is exactly the kind of dour, goth-tinged romantic chamber pop I can listen to all day. Makes me wish there was fog outside my window (it is a sunny, mild day).
I recorded and Mixed this record for my friends here in Costa Rica. Great Young Garage Punk band in the Makers, Mummies and Stomachmouths tradition.
Veneno para Niños:
If you’d like to give it a listen, i’d love to hear what you think.
Cheers
Mad Scene - Blip
a perfect record really. kinda came and went but i hope it will one day achieve the status i feel it deserves
going through my dirty plates again. wipes, simps (canada got it on lock) top of the pops but man that spiral dub was the surprise hit. brilliant.
Simps dirty plate 7” is a doozy. B-Side contains what I’d say is their heaviest guitar moment. So good.
Need to hear the Spiral Dub one, their LP continues to get heavy spins.
Mystery_Ship they're playing in some different territory and it really works for them. Think youll be pleasently surprised.

Awesome. I love the Spiral Dub but was interested to get others takes. To me it’s the perfect closer for the series
Randall Will these dirty plates singles end up online eventually?
Stoked 'The Starvations - Get Well Soon' has been re-released!
JessVex Whoa!! This is incredible and unexpected news!!
Alvarius B - That's How I Got To Memphis (& Other Egyptian Love Songs) // Alan Bishop does buncha covers running the gamut from Tom T. Hall to Cleaners From Venus and nails 'em all obviously, pretty straight and sincere, jerks a few tears if yr so inclined.
Scritti Politti - Anomie & Bonhomie // super charged sophisti-pop-hop , hard to decipher , even harder to listen to.
Hunches - Exit Dreams // Sounds as good today as yesterday.
Death Panels - Maximum Soul: Makes the work commutes feel like a bong rattled hog ride to the end of the universe.
Hex Files: Femme fueled and duo bassists. Garage/Goth (or is it Goth/Garage) from Carrboro, NC.
The new Lavender Flu album.
The Mrs brought Doechii's 2023 album back into heavy rotation again this week after it dropping into medium rotation the past few months. Pop hooks, classic hip hop and ratty boom bap blend together stunningly.
Mystery_Ship That Worker's Comp record was my 2024 AOTY. So
Fire Engines Chrome Dawns. Really glad to have everything collected in one place, especially the Peel Sessions, which I used to listen to a lot after downloading years back. "Big Wrong Time" is a particular highlight of their more pop direction near the end.
Home sick and I found on old transfer. Enjoy. It is enabled to download if you want to transfer it somewhere else to listen to later.

Right now: ty - WE R TY -- lo(ish)-fi garage punk, the kids call it egg punk

carrying over a few from the old forum and adding a couple:
Fruited Planes - "Introducing The Moth Eggs" - Fabulous Portland, OR band that is new to me and surprising! Loose, groovy, psych rocknroll jams from ex-Monoshock, Jackie O Motherfucker folks...would've been on my 2024 best of list - can't stop listening to this...
Donna Allen - Atom-ic Citizen of the Dying Empire - newest full length from Chronophage singer/songwriter. Really lovely alt-folk, alt-country.
Spleen - II - newest demo or cassette or whatever on Roachleg Records - members of Puffers - arty, post-punk, brings Wipers to mind.
Abwärts - Anon Koma - debut LP from 1980 from this amazing German punk/post-punk band. Don't know why these guys have alluded me for so long - top shelf stuff with future Einsturzende Neubauten folks.
Guiding Light - s/t - rather cool, high energy, brittle, wave/punk from Austin, TX - great stuff!
TomDash Fruited Planes stuff sounds really great. Had not heard of before seeing the previous post. Scott Derr rules.
Anyone check out the new Son of Dribble? just gave it a cursory listen this afternoon, no opining yet but will be back to it.
ever/never Hunches - Exit Dreams // Sounds as good today as yesterday.
man i haven't listened to the hunches in ages... i was obsessed with exit dreams, obsessed with that guitar tone.. really played it to death and scratched the record to shit haha. nice reminder to revisit them.. hobo sunrise & exit dreams at least
- Edited
TomDash Yeah thanks for hepping us to the Fruited Planes - I jammed it yesterday and really liked it. First thought was Bevis Frond but more...uhm, Pacific Northwest...
For chilling yesterday evening: The Invisible Hands - The Big Minute yesterday. It's Alan Bishop and some Egyptian guys. I seem to listen to/enjoy the post-SCC stuff more than the original group although I have had some out-there stoned listenings of SCC albums...
Waking up with Bud Powell - The Amazing Bud Powell
Listened to the new Lothario album, while doing laundry yesterday, followed by some Germs. Thought it went well with what I was doing.
- Edited
Sukebe_GG wish I could find actual Fruited Planes tapes. it is great stuff
Today:
Country Teasers - Pastoral 10"
Toe Rag Sessions Lp
Spending some time with early Teasers. Still great. Still unique.
Urinals - Negative Capavility comp. : the studio disc rules so hard having all their stuff in one place
Workers Comp - Lp definitely Chilton vives, but with a Ron House vocal sensibility. Really great.
Pharaoh Sanders - Thembi : i love how this goes from meditative sounds shapes to free blowing/flowing from tracks mixed together.
Been bumping the Toe Rag Sessions as well. So much great Teasers material. RIP Alastair Mackinven.
The places they take us in 2 minutes 20 seconds!
Spinning some recent Neon Taste stuff (sick label)
Jug - ...Or Not 7" - sloppy (ish) mid tempo punk music
Closetalkers - Path To Peace 7" - cool Canadian d-beat type hardcore
I dunno. I'm a simple man when it comes to punk music.
I just heard a really shitty cover of We Didn't Start The Fire on my work radio...
THE PUKE from PA!
Also last night I suddenly wanted to hear some Luna. Hadn’t strongly felt that feeling before.
Coley tripped this on the socials last night and it is goddamn good.
pre-arthur russell era. there needs to be a necessaries reissue campaign
The first Hunches album
ever/never Alvarius B - That's How I Got To Memphis (& Other Egyptian Love Songs) // Alan Bishop does buncha covers running the gamut from Tom T. Hall to Cleaners From Venus and nails 'em all obviously, pretty straight and sincere, jerks a few tears if yr so inclined.
Would love to hear this. He seems to be championing the lost art of the troubadour a lot lately (least judging by his playlists on Stegi Radio) - nice to know he's walkin the walk too.
Thinking of this has me revisiting his bizarre shit talking sound collage transmission that came out on Nashazphone a few years back. GASP that was 8 years ago.
ExpKind Ha Ha, I went on an extened tirade when I saw the actual packaging. The real kicker is that there is still a stupid black border when you open the gatefold.
as for what I have been listening to:
The Sewerheads - Despair Is A Heaven
Lavender Flu - Tracing The Sand By The Pool
Son of Dribble - Poking A Hole In A Bag Of Tears
The Saints Box
The Flatlanders - All American Music
X - Beyond & Back anthology
Great Plains - pretty much everything
Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments - pretty much everything
Retail Simp$ - Order of the Dirty Plates 7"
LACK OF INTEREST - split 7" w/ Spazz, Trapped Inside LP
Maybe the most pissed band ever. All tracks
anyone here holding the first two split 7" and wants to sell for non-Discogs prices, please get at me!
- Edited
this new Seudo Youth 12" kinda rips, vox are a bit jarring at first, but they def work
Just spun a duo of newish comps by 90’s greats
Sentridoh - Really Insane
Bardo Pond - Melt Away
