Free DL's of tapes also in the HWE catalogue

Instead of ordering tapes/CD-R's from me, feel free to DL these tapes:

Best of Tonspur Tapes at Continuo, who writes: "A compilation of post-industrial bands from the 1980s might seam a bleak prospect, but this is something different. It’s a continuous mix of music lifted from Stefan Schwab’s Tonspur Tapes back catalogue. Tonspur was a German cassette label active from 1986 to 1995, releasing dozens of tapes by the usual suspects of the fringe experimental scene, like Big City Orchestra, The Dead Goldfish Ensemble, Brume, De Fabriek, Doc Wör Mirran, Das Synthetische Mischgewebe, David Prescott, The Haters, etc. The Best of Tonspur Tapes was issued on Tonspur’s parent label Echtzeit in 1989 and reissued by Hypertonia World Enterprise, Norway, in 1992. I assume the mix was done by Schwab himself, though he’s not credited as such on the cover. The mix favors atmospheric excerpts flowing effortlessly into each other to form two coherent, ambitious tracks, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A labor of love from Stefan Schwab and a pleasure to listen to."

Also "Unmasked - a Tribute to The Residents" Vol. 1 and 2 at Attack of the Killer Black Eyeball, and "Best of IRRE Tapes Vol. V" from megaupload, "X-mas Tunes" at Rapidshare. A little under half the tapes are listed at discogs. For full listings see catalogue.

One of my comp.'s - the horror-themed "Who's Laughing Now?" was for sale at eBay.

M. Gira reactivates Swans - raises funds

Out now: I AM NOT INSANE CD/DVD (YG41) - Solo Home Recordings CD (of new Swans songs) and M.Gira x 2 Live Shows DVD - Limited Edition of 1000, Signed and Numbered. Order from Young God Records. Also available are pre-order of upcoming new Swans album, and a book of drawings.

Contents of the CD/DVD package explained by M. Gira:

I Am Not Insane - Michael Gira: This handmade CD/DVD package is being sold specifically to help raise funds for/help defray the considerable costs of recording and promoting the upcoming new Swans album. There’s a number of ways you can help support this effort, above. Thanks very much, and I hope you enjoy.

Most of the songs on this CD were recorded by me at home using an Audio-Technica AT 825 stereo microphone, sitting at my desk in my office. There were no overdubs. The first 11 songs on the CD are rough versions of some of the songs (not all) under consideration for the new Swans album (hopefully due Fall 2010). There’s a few extra songs here on the CD - “Promise Of Water” and “Failure”, and they were recorded by Jason La Farge at Seizure’s Palace Recording, Brooklyn NY.

The songs are here in their raw state, as I present them to the band. I have a concept in mind of how each one should sound ultimately, but I’m sure that as usual, once I begin working with my cohorts, things will change considerably from the initial plan, and for the better. I haven’t been as excited (and I admit, intimidated) by a project in years. Let’s hope that whatever beast is created in the process rears itself up on its’ hind legs, swipes furiously at the sky with its’ claws, then bends down and rips my head off with its’ razor teeth. That would make me very happy.

Here’s the Track Listing to the CD (you can listen to some streams elsewhere on this page): 1. Jim 2. No Words / No Thoughts 3. Reeling The Liars In 4. My Birth 5. Little Mouth 6. Eden Prison (That Way) 7. Eden Prison (This Way) 8. My Lazy Clown 9. Opium Song 10. Inside Madeline 11. Oxygen 12. Promise Of Water 13. Failure

Here’s what’s on the DVD:

Frankie Macias came to my house in the Catskill area and filmed me talking in my office and singing a few songs. He also filmed a solo show of mine at The Highline Ballroom in NYC. I spray spit, I scream, I shake.

Track Listing Highline Ballroom Show: 1. I Am The Sun 2. Promise of Water 3. Nations 4. Failure 5. Lena’s Song 6. My Brother’s Man 7. Destroyer 8. She Lives! 9. My Sister Said 10. Sometimes I Dream I’m Hurting You 11. Rose Of Los Angeles

Trevor Grace and D. Fisher filmed my solo show at The Drake Underground in Toronto. I embarrass myself and lamely insult the audience, and put on a good show. James Blackshaw guests on one song.

Track Listing Drake Underground Show: 1. Little Mouth 2. On The Mountain (Looking Down) 3. Promise Of Water 4. Reeling The Liars In 5. My Brother’s Man 6. The Surrogate 7. Destroyer 8. Oxygen 9. Inside Madeline 10. Eden Prison 11. Sometimes I Dream I’m Hurting You

Bruunski Beats Re-post No. 14: V/A - The World's Worst Records, Vol. 1 & 2

The World's Worst Records, Volume 1 and 2 from Rhino. Released on cassette in the 80's.
'There is perverse pleasure to be had in sampling the tasteless, inept, and bizarre, and it was with this fact in mind that Rhino Records unleashed The Rhino Brothers Present the World's Worst Records!, a compilation of abrasive novelty songs, demented outsider artists, and clumsy comedy.

With liner notes by Dr. Demento and Rhino mainstays Barnes & Barnes and Wild Man Fischer on board, there's not much doubt as to the tone of the collection. The set list is skewed strongly toward silly, self-consciously dumb parody tunes that range from amusing (Ogden Edsl's wacky child-abuse singalong "Kinko the Clown") to obvious and unfunny ("I Wanna Be Your Dog" sung by some bad Three Stooges imitators). Should the "World's Worst Records" include songs like these that were specifically designed for such a list? For those who think not, there's the psychobilly classic "Paralyzed," a formless, atonal jumble of guitar, drum, and bugle from the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, a genuine eccentric who actually turned this wild, incredibly alive record into a hit for a short while in 1968. The highlight of the set is the brilliantly dumb "Surfin' Tragedy," recorded in 1963 by the Breakers; this priceless hybrid of surf pop and the "teen tragedy" tradition sets a romantic tale of death on the waves to a ham-fisted Beach Boys-style ballad, complete with a mournful French horn hook. Gloria Balsam's proudly off-key "Fluffy" is sure to clear the room at your next family reunion, and with the original single long out of print, its appearance is valuable (to a select few).

Also welcome are classic novelties from the wrestling-obsessed Novas and the taste-impaired Jimmy Cross, though their numbers are easily available on several other compilations. Toward the end of the 20th century, the interest in records that ignore or reject the popular standards of what constitutes "good" music grew into a recognizable cult (writer Irwin Chusid explored the new genre with Songs in the Key of Z: The Curious Universe of Outsider Music). Blame it on the age of irony, or a desperate attempt to find unique sounds in an increasingly homogenous world, but there are those who find pleasure in the accidental, the broken, and the incorrect. The Rhino Brothers Present the World's Worst Records! anticipated this trend several years in advance, proposing that "bad" was infinitely better than "boring," though their overdependence on prefab wackiness lessens the importance of the package'.

It took some time, but here's another Henry Rollins spoken word show for your enjoyment!
Back in January 2005 I traveled to Stockholm, Sweden to witness the pure genius that is Henry Rollins.

This is (hopefully) the only hard evidence of that trip - a fantastic spoken word show featuring Hank speaking for well over three hours. Recorded on a portable minidisc player - not the best quality recording, but far from the worst.
It's great fun, and well worth downloading!

Bruunski Beats Re-post No. 9: Hollywood Brats - Hollywood Brats (1973/80)

Like a less famous British cousin of the New York Dolls, the Hollywood Brats also had a taste for feather boas, glitter, and tough rock & roll played with rough-and-tumble abandon. Although they only recorded one full-length album that was not released until after they had broken up, the band is recognized as a pioneer of punk.
The first incarnation of the Hollywood Brats surfaced in London in 1971 when singer Andrew Matheson, Norwegian keyboard player Casino Steel, and drummer Lou Sparks began playing regular gigs as the Queen. When Freddie Mercury's band of the same name came on the scene, the original Queens wouldn't let him strong-arm them into a name change until his outfit scored a hit and they were forced to adopt a new handle, becoming the Hollywood Brats. In 1972, guitarist Eunan Brady came on board after meeting Matheson through his Melody Maker ad seeking a guitarist "drunk on scotch and Keith Richards"; with Wayne Manor on bass, the lineup for this raucous glam rock unit was in place. The band crashed and burned their way through regular live sets in the summer of 1973, when their flamboyant makeup and female attire, à la the New York Dolls and David Bowie, and attitude-laden bluesy rock began to attract a following. As Brady recalled in his liner notes for the 1999 Cherry Red Records re-release of the band's album, "The whole point of the Brats was to annoy and disturb!" Championed by Keith Moon, the band landed a deal with NEMS Records and recorded an album of pure rock fun with fuzzy, garage-flavored guitar solos, cowbell accents, and snotty lyrics populated with gold diggers and tramps. No label wanted to touch the finished product, however, and the recording languished until Mercury Records released the material as Grown Up Wrong in 1975, and Cherry Red Records issued their single "Then He Kissed Me" in 1979 and re-released the full-length album in 1980. But the band had self-destructed years earlier, with Matheson going on to record with Tools and Wreckless Eric's Last Orders, and Steel joining London SS briefly before Mat Dangerfield grabbed him to form the Boys in 1976.

Bruunski Beats Re-post No. 8: Bad Religion - Sentrum Scene, Oslo 13.03.1996

This is a very low circulation bootleg from The Gray Race tour, with great sound quality. It's imported straight from the master tape and converted to mp3's. There's some minor glitches here and there because of problems with the recorder, and the songs Fuck Armageddon and Faith Alone are missing the end and beginning due to turning the tape - and the last track, Best For You, is cut short due to running out of tape...
Included in the zip-file are scans of the flyer, an ad from a newspaper, the ticket and a review of the show from the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. Enjoy!

Tracklist: 1. American Jesus, 2. No Control, 3. The Handshake, 4. 21st Century Digital Boy, 5. The Gray Race, 6. Drunk Sicerity, 7. Anesthesia, 8. What It Is, 9. Watch It Die, 10. Modern Man, 11.

Bruunski Beats Re-post No. 5: Elvis Presley - Having Fun With Elvis On Stage (1974)

Having Fun with Elvis on Stage is a 1974 live album from Elvis Presley that Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, had RCA put out.
Having Fun With Elvis on Stage is considered by many critics to be the worst live album Elvis or anyone else has ever put out. This is because there were no song performances on it, only tape byplay recorded between songs - Elvis telling jokes, requesting a drink of water, and demonstrating eleven different ways to pronounce "Memphis." Though it clearly said "A Talking Album Only" on the cover, Having Fun with Elvis on Stage was nonetheless packaged and marketed as a legitimate concert album.
Parker was seeking to add to the collection of merchandise sold at Presley's concerts. RCA owned the rights to Elvis' music, but Parker discovered he could sell an album of Elvis simply talking. Someone took 37 minutes of Elvis' stage banter and spliced it together. The banter on the album does not follow any set pattern or purpose. "If one had any reason at all to believe that Col. Parker put more than an afternoon into assembling this album," writes the AllMusic Guide, "one might suspect he was aiming for a purposefully dada-esque approach, but apathy and ineptitude seems to be the only realistic explanations for this record's haphazard structure."
It managed to make it up to #130 on the Billboard album charts.

Bruunski Beats Re-post No. 4: Elvis Presley - Elvis' Greatest Shit (1983)

Elvis' Greatest Shit is a bootleg released in the early 80s filled with really crappy songs from Elvis movies, along with alternate versions of a few good songs in less than great versions.
Those of us who think of Elvis as a great artist really need to hear this, to remind us all of what he was capable of. It's hard to say what is harder to hear? The version of the beautiful Are You Lonesome Tonight where Elvis slobbers his way through half-remembered lyrics, or the simple existence of officially released Elvis songs called Yoga Is As Yoga Does, Queenie Wahine's Papaya or Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce? Perhaps the "best" of this shit is Dominic the Impotent Bull, which is indeed what the song is about.
The bootleg-label Dog Vomit Records has recently released an expanded version of this album, with over 30 tracks - but this one will have to do for now. Enjoy!

Tracklist: 1. Old Mac Donald Had a Farm, 2. Ito Eats, 3. There's No Room to Rhumba In a Sports Car, 4. Confidence, 5. Yoga Is As Yoga Does, 6. Song of the Shrimp, 7. U.S. Male, 8.

Scratch My Back Then I'll Scratch Yours, 15. The Walls Have Ears, 16. Poison Ivy League, 17. Beach Boy Blues, 18. Dominic the Impotent Bull, 19. Queenie Wahine's Papaya, 20. Do the Clamhake, 21.

The most dangerous band in the world! Live in Oslo, Norway yesterday! (Originally posted August 10th, 2008) Enjoy!
"If you think Punk started in London in 1977 or New York in 1975 or even Detroit in 1969, you had better take a listen to this. Punk started in the early sixties in America's Pacific Northwest. End of story. This is what you get when you put a bunch of spotty, angry, musically-challenged young men together in a dank cellar with some Danelectro guitars, Silvertone amps, a Farfisa organ and some crappy drums. This is definitely music that parents don't want their kids to hear. Actually, come to think of it, maybe it's music that kids don't want their parents to hear.
The Sonics' sound is noticeably rougher, cruder, and more brutal than that of their musical peers. Although they had a fairly standard instrumental line up for the time, The Sonics made their unique sound with wild arrangements, often disturbing lyrics, peppered with screaming and howling, and electric guitars played through amplifiers customized to achieve the harshest tones possible. Although their chief period of success was coincident with the release of Gibson's first fuzzbox, The Sonics' fuzzy sound was their own creation.
The songs they played were a mixture of garage rock standards ("Louie, Louie"), early rock and roll ("Jenny, Jenny") and original compositions such as "Strychnine", "Psycho", and "The Witch", all based upon simple chord sequences, played hard and fast.
The lyrics of The Sonics' original material dealt with early '60s teenage culture; cars, guitars, surfing, and girls (in songs like "The Hustler" and "Maintaining My Cool") alongside darker subject matter such as drinking strychnine for kicks, witches, psychopaths, and Satan (in the songs "Strychnine", "The Witch", "Psycho", and "He's Waiting", respectively)".

Bruunski Beats Re-post No. 1: Subway Suck - Little Red Album (1979)

En norsk godbit i dag - "Little Red Album" med Subway Suck!
"Subway Suck fra Trondheim ble av Polygram prøvd lansert som Norges svar på Sex Pistols etter at de hadde spilt inn og presset NRK!/Æ spyr//I Sold My Ass For Rock`n`roll (Snowball BALL 601) 7" ps 78. Tekstene var imidlertid så rå i følge artist ansvarlig at platen ble trukket tilbake fra lansering. Tekstene som ble for harde for Polygram, står forøvrig på trykk i Nye takter nr 5/79. Det skal visstnok eksistere så mange som ca 25 eksemplarer, resten av opplaget ble destruert.
Bandet så på seg selv som et hardt heavy metal band og følte seg ikke relatert til punken, til tross for Polygrams iherdige forsøk på å være de første i Norge som skulle ri på den Engelske pønk bølgen. Det står respekt av Subway Suck sin holdning til å stå imot lett tjente kroner på å bli lansert som første norske pønkeband. Polygrams holdning derimot minner oss bare om at ethvert opprør, geniun musikk, whatever, kan bli oppkjøpt, men bare hvis vi tillater det".
Kilde: NXP

"Hardrockband fra Trondheim, dannet i 1977 og oppløst i 1980. Subway Suck markerer selve startskuddet for platekarrieren til Dag Ingebrigtsen. Foruten Ingebrigtsen (vokal) besto bandet av Hans Aafløy (gitar, keyboards), Jarl Mosand (bass, keyboards) og Erlend Antonsen (trommer). Bandet deltok i NM i rock 1979, hvor de endte på tredjeplass etter Broadway News og Tornerose. Allerede før denne konkurransen hadde Subway Suck vært i studio og spilt inn sin første LP med produsent Inge Holst Jacobsen. Platen ble utgitt på rød vinyl på selskapet Vertigo i 1979. Et år senere var bandet historie, og Ingebrigtsen stilte på nytt opp i NM i rock, denne gang med The Kids. Senere startet han TNT og laget en av landets mest populære fotballsanger sammen med Torstein Flakne fra Stage Dolls".

"Subway Suck var en norsk heavyrock-gruppe startet høsten 1977 som trio, med Erlend Antonsen (trommer), Jarl Mosand (bass) og Hans Aafløy (gitar/vokal). Ga ut singelen NRK/Æ spyr, men Polygram trakk den imidlertid tilbake på grunn av grove tekster. 25 eksemplarer unnslapp makulaturen og er idag samlerobjekter. Besetningen ble supplert med Dag Ingebrigtsen i 1978, og Little Red Album ble utgitt samme år. Bandet kom på 3. plass i NM for rockeband i 1979".

"The Subway Suck was formed as a trio in 1977. They recorded a single, N.R.K., which was banned by the record company. At this point, they joined forces with singer Dag Ingebrigtsen, and began playing gigs. They even played support for The Boys. In 1979 they start working on their debut album, “Subway Suck’s little red album”. This was released later that year, on… red vinyl. In the summer of ’79, the band tried their luck in “Battle of the bands”/”NM for rockeband”, where they came in third place. After this, they head into the studio to begin work on their second album. By now, they have a fall out with the record company, and they are left without a recording deal. At the end of ‘79, they decide to split up the band. Some of the members would later rise to fame (and fortune?) in bands like The Kids, TNT and Stage Dolls".
