>Alkaline – Soon 7"

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Alkaline was fronted by Connie Lovatt (Containe, Pacific Ocean). This is a really fine release, produced by Richard Baluyut. If you like Versus or Containe, then you should enjoy this single.

PS: I take this opportunity to launch an appeal to anyone who might have a copy of Containe’s second album (”Only Cowards Walk Like Cowards”) released by Enchanté Records in 1996. If you do, please share!

>Liechtenstein Girl – Circus Exhibit 7"

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

>

I once sent money to Fluff but never got any records in return :( The reason seems to be that they had moved away, so my order never reached the person it was supposed to. The Internet is a truly magical tool, almost 14 years later I now know what happened! Anyway, the Fluff releases that I own (Hood, Aspidistra) were therefore bought from various mailorder lists. Fortunately these records were worth buying a second time.

This single by Liechtenstein Girl is noisy and lo-fi enough to please fans of the Becketts, Hood or some kind of Times New Viking sped up at 78 rpm!

Artist: Liechtenstein Girl
Title: Circus Exhibit
Format: 7″ single
Label: Fluff
Cat. Num.: HONEY 3
Date: 1993

Side a1: It Helps Me Think
Side a2: Hitch
Side a3: Upside Down House

Side a5: Sun City Girl Song

Trivia: run-out groove reads: “There was nothing else to do on Sunday”

>10,000 Maniacs – Human Conflict Number Five 12"

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

>

What sign post will lead
To Armageddon’s fire
What buggles will call them
From crowded grey shires
The women sit quiet
With death on their minds
A slow dusk descending
The drawing of blinds

- Anthem for Doomed Youth, lyrics by John Lombardo

On this day, November 11th, I thought one song on this record was appropriate. ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ is based on a poem written in 1917 by British soldier Wilfred Owen. It is sung here by John Lombardo, who also wrote the music and the lyrics.

These are the original songs as they appeared on the 12″, not the remastered versions of the ‘Hope Chest’ CD. Despite their (slight) flaws, I think they sound more honest and authentic this way.

Artist: 10,000 Maniacs
Title: Human Conflict Number Five
Format: 12″
Labels: Christian Burial / Press Co.
Cat. Num.: P2010
Date: 1984

Side a1: Tension
Side a2: Planned Obsolescence

Side b1: Orange
Side b2: Groove Dub
Side b3: Anthem For Doomed Youth

>Nothing New 7"

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

“No monies from this project will go to any charities of any kind. The whole world is a fucking sham.

There are no copyrights involved in any of this material here. None of this material is worth copying.

Get a job, cut your hair into an acceptable style, buy a gun, some beer and cigarettes and wait for armageddon. You are a fool for believing things will get any better.”

- from the insert to Nothing New

I am forever indebted to Simon (from Bob Tilton) from whom I bought all my Bob Tilton 7 inches and split singles, including this one, way back in 1996 (yes, that stamp on the enveloppe says … I’m now … old).

Title: Nothing New
