Thorns of A Rose

i'd like to extend a warm welcome to our new contributor Moon Tapes,
thank you for your helping hand, i appreciate it.
lord knows i can't keep up with this old thing like i used to,
i hope to get back into the flow of things soon though.
down time is coming up quick for me and with that,
more posts.
question is, do i still have what it takes to be an unknown blogger that has nothing truly interesting to say?
the answer my dear followers is no,
but as it always has been, i do not give a flying shit.

Damaged - Black Flag (punk/hardcore)
i have finally experienced Black Flag, before all i had truly heard was the Nervous Breakdown EP. i wish i had the chance to listen to this while i was in high school, i am sure i would have found a way to somehow relate. it was interesting to find out that Rollins had only joined a few weeks before the recording of this album, i figured i'd share that with you. this is their first record and is considered one of their best along with being a staple from the early 80's hardcore scene.


Primary Colours - the Horrors (post-punk/shoegaze)
a drastic change from their debut album & EP, this sophomore effort shows no signs of a slump. a lot of people i know consider this change to be a bad choice, at first i was on their side and felt it was a mistake to change until i actually sat down and gave it a listen. i found that while they may not be as raucous as they once were, the direction they went is just as impressive. i am glad i had a chance to catch them live this past year, they performed a lot of songs off of this album and it was great. although i left their set early (my opinion hadn't changed yet ;P) i still had a excellent time.


All Meat No Filler - Fat Boys (hip hop)
the three stooges of early hip hop shine brightly on each track in this compilation. these dudes were about food, girls, food and...the Beach Boys? yes believe it, they cut a single with the kings of sunshine pop. i can remember watching the music video on tv as a kid and always wondering what those chubby dudes were doing with the old surfers. moving on, this is a perfect way to get yourself into them, it contains all of their finest cuts and hopefully you can find yourself eating a bit more. more of their music of course, lord knows you do NOT want to go out like Buff, bless his soul. plus you get the jam they recorded with the master of dreams himself, Freddy Krueger.
