I'm Really Running Out of Steam

where have you been??
around, you just didn't notice
well, why haven't you said anything to me?
i didn't know i had to report to you
it would be nice to know your exploits every now & again..
well i'll make sure to write up a 20 volume series of what i've been doing and then maybe you can live your life again.
sometimes, i really don't understand you and i don't think i ever will

Scumdogs of the Universe - GWAR (heavy/thrash metal)
if you have ever wondered where to begin with GWAR, this is the album. sure there is one before it, but their sound changed on this one and is the sound they continued with, rather than the thrashy noise punk from the previous album. this cut also explains how they came to Earth and enslaved us all and we get a taste of our nation's favorite game show 'Slaughterama'. hopefully with this, you'll get into them and go off into the full story of GWAR's rule and adventures. one more thing, how do you hide money from a hippie?


The Evil One - Roky Erickson & the Aliens (music)
Roky Erickson's whole mentality is one that i most certainly can get along with. i have recently gotten into his work (solo & 13th Floor Elevators) after first experiencing him through the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack. released in 1981, Roky had traded in his psychedelic chops for a more heavier sound and with that he has a number of great tunes on the album: 'I Walked With A Zombie', 'Don't Shake Me Lucifer', 'I Think of Demons' and 'If You Have A Ghost', these should be listened to at least once. what i like most about this album is his lyrical content, ghouls and goblins, vampires & cosmo demons, just the type of things i really enjoy.


Ralf und Florian - Kraftwerk (electronic/krautrock)
as the title states, this album was worked on by two men, respectively named Ralf Hütter and Florian Schnider and is seemingly sought after, in the real world anyway. it is nearly an instrumental album save for a few wordless yodels on a couple of tracks and it seems it isn't as rhythmic as the albums that followed. it was released in 1973 and it is their third album, the tracks to listen for are: 'Tongebirge', 'Heimatklänge' and the epic 'Ananas Symphonie'. all in all i'd say if you already are a fan of Kraftwerk but you have yet to hear this album, get it. if not well give it a couple spins regardless, it'll grow on you.
