The track used for the title is indeed the best song.  Fornication in the rain with a quaint title.  These bl...

This isn't a sla...

Somehow this  decidedly less than mint quarter copy with a white sleeve went on Amazon for $14.99 even though I had it up on Discogs for $2.99 for many many ye...

New Zealand's commercial wing of the Flying Nun label released their third and final album in 1993.  I got a promo copy somewhere since I had their 1987 debut issued in the US in 1988 on Rough Trade.  Since I liked that one, they were still on my radar when this came out but I remembered nothing about it...

Barbara Manning-1212 (1997)

The opening 4 part epic is about a side worth that opens the CD called The Arsonists Story.  It literally crackles by the end of it.  At first I thought it was kinda dumb base gothic, but t...

G. Allin sort of way.  Something for everyone that takes offense to anything.  It was a regular on my late night radio show in high school.  What teenager could resist lines like "I need a release, I need a release, I want to cum!"   I still can't resist to this day, even past 50.   The Snort My Load album from 1984 that leads this com...

I also considered Polkacide to be light years ahead of the other "punk-polka" band at the time, Brave Combo.  Polkacide were more racious.  Instead of calling the cops,...
