The 45 PARTY #8 : The Partisans

|August 27, 2010 | Found Sounds, The 45 Party

This is a dumb song. I was not yet 17 when I got this record, and I understood even then that a song written from the perspective of a world-weary 17-year-old who just can’t take it anymore was silly ( and then there’s the drummer, who’s like ” Look ma, I can play Wipeout ! ), and yet, IT ROCKS. Makes me want to put spikes on my jacket and do British stuff ( No Future, 1981 ).

Sean’s Book Ships December 7th

|August 24, 2010 | White Zombie

I’ve been getting a whole lot of email on this, but I’ve been waiting for an official release date to post about it. I’m In The Band is out Dec.7th : you can preorder on Amazon, and here’s the publisher’s page.

White Zombie’s like a black hole. For most people, it’s like we popped up out of nowhere, and then, a couple of years and a couple of platinum albums later, we disappeared. There’s almost no documentation of the history of the band, and so this is something of a mindfuck for me because it’s all here. I helped out a little while Sean was putting the book together as far as contributing some photos and memorabilia, remembering names and dates, but I just wasn’t prepared to see the entire timeline .. from the earliest days in Brooklyn, to my joining, to getting big, to breaking up .. laid out and illustrated like this.

The 45 PARTY #5 : The Mentally Ill

|August 24, 2010 | Found Sounds, The 45 Party

It’s not all that often that a band lives up to its name, but here’s some sick, trashy genius that actually sounds like it came straight from the recording studio at a mental hospital. The guitar is so fuzzed-out that it functions more as mosquito-buzz generator than musical instrument and the singer sounds like he’s about to claw his own eyes out ( Autistic Records, 1979 ).

An extraordinary high-quality version of the concert film. A celebration of the unique sound of the Mosrite guitar, and, really, of the electric guitar itself.

The 45 Party #4 : Chuck Fenda

|August 23, 2010 | Found Sounds, The 45 Party

This song was a big hit in Jamaica in 2006 despite a ban on radio play – and no wonder. With righteous fury, Chuck Fenda preaches that sinners should be stabbed and set on fire.skinny-blackChuck Fenda : ” Gash Dem “
