Nihilist Spasm Band - No Record

It's hard to believe that this album, Nihilist Spasm Band's debut, was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world in 1968. It sounds just as magnificent in 2019 as is did decades ago. This was a major influence on Japanese noise legends Hijokaidan, whose main antagonist Jojo Hiroshige reissued it as a CD on his Alchemy label in 1996.

Nihilist Spasm Band - What About Me

CLASSIC RECORD ALERT! I don't have the time or patience to recount the history of London, Ontario's heroes, so look them up if you aren't already familiar. These classy gents have been performing every Monday night since the late 1960s, playing an exponent of free improvisation that influenced scads of "noise" artists in the ensuing decades. Hijokaidan's Jojo Hiroshige eventually reissued their early recordings on his Alchemy label as well as subsequent albums such as this one from 1992, which happens to be my favorite thing they've recorded. Aggressive and dense with a great sense of humor, "What About Me" is an ideal intro for new fans.

Facialmess & Guilty Connector - Nothing Left Inside

One half is Kenny Sanderson who left this festering stinking and sinking little island to move to Japan to become a glitch-core harsh noise head the ball. Kenny, Kenny, Kenny ... where did it all go wrong? And, you get Kohei The Fast Connector messing with your head as well.

CDr released on Kalifornia Love Addiction in 2002.

Grim Talkers - Grimy City

Kohei Nakagawa and the sampler, visual artist and improviser blahmuzik aka BrothersGRIM (?). A found-sound industrial-lounge-core noise-anticipation fest that interests me a lot. Unfortunately, this is all that I have by them.

CD released on Gravity Swarm Recordings ‎– UT-40, Live.pro in 2013.

Electro Hippies - The Peaceville Recordings

Nifty compilation that brings together the "The Only Good Punk... Is A Dead One“ and "Live" LPs and the tracks from a couple of Peaceville compilations. It brought the curtain down on the Hippies but it's a great way to bow out.

CD released on Peaceville in 1989.

Electro Hippies - Play Fast Or Die

Sometimes spending a day getting drunk seems like a good idea. If only I could, in those moments, project myself forward 24 hours to view the resulting shambles. Ugh. Anyway, Electro Hippies were a fucking great bunch of anarchogrinders from the North-West of England that burned brightly and briefly during the mid to late eighties.

12" released on Necrosis Records in 1989.

Lawnmower Deth - Return Of The Fabulous Metal Bozo Clowns

So.

Work has been really shit. In an unremittingly shit way. I've just woken up from a 10 shift in the past 11 days stretch. I could carry on with what's been going on but then decided that rooting through the shelves and getting really drunk and playing what the fuck I felt like at ultra volume would cheer me right up. Guess what? It worked.

Channeling Bad Taste ... here's deth by rotating blades. Think deliberately shit cock out metal with deliberately great grind that channels Crass and Cardiacs.

CD released on Earache in 1990.

Guilty Connector - Devil's Grip / The Skull's Grief

Culinary kitchen clatter that is more in the style of manipulated field recording ... that is, until it gets utterly obliterated by righteous harsh noise.
