Was It A Dream?

some say things aren't what they seem,
i say they are what you want them to be.
whatever.

Los Angeles - X (punk)
from start to finish this rip roarin' adventure of an album socks it to ya raw. weird thing is, i had never experienced this entire album before this past month. believe it readers. i had heard wild gift & other albums BEFORE this one and i really do not know why. i can listen to this one from top to bottom without skipping a single track, which in my book makes a perfect album. organ duties are handled by the master himself Ray Manzarek which only adds onto the sheer beauty of this record. speaking of the Doors make sure to listen to their cover of 'Soul Kitchen'.


Smell of Female - the Cramps (rock 'n roll/live)
like i have said before, i am not big on live records, i honestly can't answer why seeing as how i really enjoy a lot of live albums. but this, this is something more, it is a glimpse into the greatness that is the Cramps. i'm sure you're all well aware of what an entity the Cramps were onstage, but now you can experience it. recorded in 1983 at the world famous Peppermint Lounge over the course of two days, we have a perfect moment in time captured forever for everyone to enjoy whenever the hell they want. Congo Powers & Ivy shine ever so brightly on their guitars, Knox as always bangs the shit out of his drum skins and Mr.Interior howls like no other. experience greatness at it's finest. plus, you get Surfin' Dead.


Girls In The Garage vol.1 - Various Artists (garage)
a perfect compilation of chicks making some raw tracks. it is chock full of hits and interesting bits from a slew of girl fronted groups. most of the songs are from what seems to be the mid to late 60's, seeing as how there are some references to the Fab Four. a lot of gems are hidden in this comp and you're going to have to find them yourselves. i'll let you in on two of my favorites: 'Nightmare' by the Whyte Boots and 'Come Back' by the Belles. happy hunting.
