Saddle Up Pukebags

i have been looking for the right words,
i can't find them.
nothing can really explain how i feel about you,
be it art, music or food.
all i know is that i love you with all of me,
and that's the best i can do.

Bedtime for Democracy - Dead Kennedys (hardcore punk)
i feel this classic album is underrated, the kids i know that were introduced to DK through Fresh Fruit tend to avoid Frankenchrist & this one here, i honestly do not know why. in fact, my first taste of Jello & co. was with this record. i remember the guy that let me borrow his copy told me that he liked the first half only, he said that the rest was too preachy. i took it home and listened to it over & over again, after each listen i could not find anything remotely preachy. with that, i decided to close my mind and become an ignorant shithead, when i hit 'Chickenshit Conformist' i realized that is what made him call the album preachy. i kept his copy. he forgot, grew up and moved away, i wish he still lived here so i could punch him in his stupid face.


Moon Gas - Dick Hyman & Mary Mayo (space age pop/lounge)
spacey as fuck but hot damn is this one of the best records i've heard in a long time. this album was brought to my attention by a mixtape Lux Interior made that somehow got onto the internet, the song For All We Know was played at his funeral and i felt that it was a fitting farewell song. anyway, Dick Hyman as you may or may not know is a famed jazz musician and has gone through a number of transformations, musically anyhow. Mary Mayo on the other hand is probably only well-known to die hard fans of space pop, seeing as how she has gone uncredited on several of her releases, but you might remember her from the coke ads in the 80's, i sure as hell don't. well i can't find this album anywhere else really, so i figured i'd add my chip to the plate.


A Scandal In Bohemia - the Jazz Butcher (music)
i first heard these fellas on a psychobilly comp, an unlikely place to find a group such as this but i am glad i did. although i will admit there seem to be some rockabilly influences here & there, though not enough zombies (that could be funny, but it isn't). what i love most about this group is the way they handle multiple genres of music and twist them into a wonderful beast of a sound. the leader of the band Pat Fish is a brilliant dude that has a swell way with black humor, 'Caroline Wheeler's Birthday Present' is a fine example, with the lines ''Caroline Wheeler's birthday present was made entirely of the skins of dead Jim Morrisons''. i got a chuckle out of that one, maybe you will too..
