Artist Track Album Comments New Approx. start time
  So here's what I learned this week:
  1. The best night of the week to stay up late is Sunday. It doesn't matter if you go out or stay in, but you definitely shouldn't be going to bed any time before 1 AM on Sunday night. This past Sunday, I decided to dig through my crate of old videotapes and was rewarded with a documentary about the band QUEEN (which was totally great) as well as the bizarre 1986 film F-X, in which Bryan Brown plays a special effects movie man who is hired by the Justice Department (actually Mason Adams, who you may remember from various Nuprin commercials from the mid 80s) to fake the assassination of a mob kingpin who is preparing to testify for the NYPD. Things go awry when Mason's character (weirdly named "Mason" in the movie) tries to have our Australian hero (Brown) killed so there are no "loose ends." Later on, Brown defeats the bad guys by employing his movie-making special effects props, including fake blood packets, smoke machines, a large alien that roars like Chewbacca with a bad sinus infection, Krazy Glue, and a fake corpse from a splatter flick called "I Dismember Mama" (which really exists!) Although I fell asleep on my couch before the end of the movie, I believe the exciting conclusion of the film features Brian Dennehy as an angry NYPD detective who reveals that he is actually an alien from outer space who goes back in time to fight nazis during World War II with the aid of a modern aircraft carrier. I missed the sequel, F-X-2, which I think elaborated further on this surprising plot twist.
  2. I like art more than I thought I did.
  There was more, I think... I learned that I shouldn't stay at the station late on Monday nights, even if Scott Williams is hosting live sets from badass rock bands that I like, because it just spells disaster for my Tuesday morning radio duties. Apologies for the numerous sonic flubberies contained herein. Approach with caution.

King Kong  I Don't Wanna Party Anymore   Kingdom of Kong  Whoops, Ethan Buckler wasn't in Squirrelbait, he was in Slint -- a band I pretended to like for a while when their first record came out on Jennifer Hartmann Records & Tapes. Actually, I remember quite vividly being bullied into buying that album ("Tweez") by this excessively talkative woman I met at the Record Store who was in the midst of lecturing the staff on the lack of vision exposed on side two of all records by the band Big Black. I made the mistake of disagreeing with her (something I would never do now... Not because I've become less opinionated, but because these days I don't actually care when people are visibly wrong in my presence) and then the next thing you know, she forced me to spend $7.99 that she assured me would prove her point. It didn't. I thought "Tweez" sounded like side two of a Big Black record, but never mind about that now. Interestingly enough, the woman in question turned out to be the editor of the great RABID FANZINE, which you might remember if you grew up punk rock in New Jersey.    0:04:04 Pop-up)

Big Stick  Drag Racing   EP  This must be the greatest song of all time because every time I play it, people call wanting to know what it is or carrying on about how they haven't heard it in so long. Hey, let's hear it for the cheap crowd-pleaser! Is Cleveland in the house tonight? Let's go Tribe!    0:52:19 Pop-up)

Cosmic Psychos  Bullet   Self-Totalled  Thug shit. I love this stuff just as much as, and in exactly the same manner as late 80s gangsta rap. Now if only the Cosmic Psychos had been paired with, say, Eazy E on the soundtrack to Judgment Night, we might live in a slightly better world than the one we're forced to reckon with each morning when we address the edge of the bed. (Aside: I have just become mildly disturbed by the fact that I'm only now, at my advanced age, discovering that I'm not quite sure if there should actually be an "E" in the middle of the word "Judgment" and the internet isn't helping.)    1:22:14 Pop-up)
Rude Kids  Absolute Ruler   7"  A lot of punk rock bands achieved a primitive sound, Sweden's Rude Kids no exceptions. But I've always thought they unleashed something a little bit more special on this single... It's slightly scarier, uglier, and makes me wonder what my reaction to these obviously posessed Swedes would've been, had I been more than a young tot at the time of their reign.

Scornflakes  Live at City Gardens   Live at City Gardens  In all my yammering on about this band's nebulous affiliations to Black Flag and the Rollins Band, I neglected to mention the true celebrity at hand: the late E. William Tucker, to whom fans of the band Pigface, as well as the guitar sound unleashed on Ministry records like "Land of Rape and Honey" and "Burning Inside" owe their credit.    2:35:06 Pop-up)
