Favorite SST releases?

Also:
Sister LP
Slovenly: Riposte
fIREHOSE: Ragin' Full On
Flip Your Wig

*the good hex* by dc3, however, is somewhat underrated.

Zoogz Rift, your SST select choice!

and many Minutemen and Meat Puppet releases mentioned above (though latter of which I now have via Ryko reissues anyway)

more i can't think of because i have a sinus headache. mostly saint vitus.

i'd buy a slovenly box.

"*toke* dude.. like everything is wrong, man. let's sign more instrumental jazz/funk/bands and we'll get around to this royalty thing"

that's when.

(strongo trumped me and is of course otm)

Blind Idiot God - first album
Elliott Sharp - Tessellation Row
Grant Hart - Intolerance
Cruel Frederick - The Birth Of The Cruel
Das Damen - Jupiter Eye

I was gonna say the first Blind Idiot God too, but somebody beat me to it.

Sylvia Juncosa deserves props for the song title "Eddie Van Halen, Lick My Pussy"

Like a really loud and good power pop album. I love "Green Eyes" and "Flexible Flyer." A must for Grant Hart fans, though Mould has some good stuff on there, too.
My favorite SST release is Husker's "Eight Miles High" single. A-freakinmazing.

Is the rumour that they never paid any of the bands true?

like New Day Rising, but with no memorable songs to go w/ the pretty melodies. (actually, in 1985, I put Flip Your Wig not New Day Rising in my top ten, for some reason, but that's probably just because it was newer at the time. Within a couple years I was calling their new albums *Candy Ass Gray* and stuff like that, though -- In fact, *Flip Your Wig* was their last album that I ever liked at all, I think. And all the stuff they did after they broke up seemed worthless to me.)

Then again, I actually gave Crazy Backwards Alphabet (is that what they were called? the Beefheartesque Henry Kaiser super-trio) a good review in CREEM once, so what the hell do I know?

I've heard it's getting reissued on Alternative Tentacles in a few weeks

ooh really? AWESOME. that's a great album...

I got all excited, but no Zoogz Rift. (No Mofungo either.) Damn.

was just listening to meat puppets II yesterday, pretty amazing record.

^^ best album ever.

^ sometimes, yeah

do they have the dicks' sst album up on there?

which black flag album do you mean?

Oh boy, now everyone can hear Minuteflag!

YES: black flag, minutemen/firehose, descendants, husker du, saint vitus, saccharine trust, bad brains, screaming trees

NO: p much anything else

pity the indie label that only has 8 good bands on its roster

oh n/m i thought you were talking about quality and not spotify availability haha

ha me too, was about to write something snotty about how any label would be lucky to have that many great bands over the course of a decade.

lol, sorry, they're all great! but so are the leaving trains, meat pups, opal, etc. figure they're probably going in stages, according to demand.

and the sst sonic youth stuff is up, probably through DGC/Universal

ants

ENTS

lovelovelove screaming trees' sst stuff

which Saccharine Trust album should I listen to first?

They're a band of two halves - the first two (PaganIcons, Surviving You Always) are arty hardcore, the latter with a different and jazzier rhythm section. It's my favourite. The later ones (Worldbroken, We Became Snakes) are more jazz fusion style, the former being an improv live album. Still good (and a precursor to Universal Congress Of) but a different beast.

Am giving We Became Snakes a go, it's pretty unlike most other SST stuff I've heard, with the possible exception of the jazzier end of the Minutemen.

Not surprising, since Mike Watt produced that one!

A Human Certainty from Paganicons is the obvious 'hit', i reckon. great guitar sounds.

Saccharine Trust's "Surviving You Always" is the great lost SST record, lost becuz as noted above it never was issued on cd and the label let it go out of print. The smartest decision I ever made was when I bought the whole ST collection sight-unheard in one fell swoope from my local record store. If you can find it, listen to this one first.

They are probably my favorite SST band and that's saying something. I love all four (and the live reocrd) for different reasons. Still at too, the album from 2001, "The Great One is Dead" is awesome and equally the level of their other records.

Just got email saying that Wienerworld are rereleasing a bunch of prime SST stuff (Husker Du, Flag, Brains) on vinyl. Weird. Pretty sure that the bands involved won't see any money from this...

That's especially weird since Husker Du & Black Flag have hardly ever been out of print on SST vinyl... in fact I just bought Flip Your Wig brand new a few weeks ago

Yeah I just looked at their website and they are just selling SST records.

Wienerworld?

Just looked at the SST website to see what vinyl they're selling and both Negativland SST albums are still in print. Are they big sellers or something? Slightly surprised me because most of the rest of the stuff was Black Flag, Huskers, firehose, Minutemen, Saint Vitus, Soundgarden etc and not much of the quirky less well-known stuff.

I don't know what Wienerworld is, but it makes me think of the Austrian/German fast-food chain, Wienerwald

I'd never heard of Wienerworld before either. I just have amazing powers of google.

I am not googling wienerworld, are you crazy?

I would think Escape From Noise would be a super good perennial for them.

My copy of the Incredible String Band movie "Be Glad for the Song has no Ending" is a Wienerworld DVD.

It's just an awful name. The denizens of Wienerworld have very good taste, but they have to tell people they work at Wienerworld.

I just went to their website and
1) lol nice logo
2) what is this?

one of SST's later signings no doubt

bassist from Painted Willie

I was pretty fond of the Kira/Mike Watt bass duo album Dos (criminally unmentioned this thread).

A less muso Hugo Largo, more or less.

Welcome to Wienerworld!

Should have been a Zoogz Rift album cover.

^not looser than clams

Nutritionally Sound of course!

Listening to fIREHOSE for the first time in a million years. I got a bit fed up with their albums somewhere along the way, but Ragin' Full On is so good. Obviously they were always going to be underpowered in comparison to D Boon's stun guitar attack, but there's so many moments where everything meshes so beautifully that, in the context of this record at least, I couldn't really give a hoot.

You Don't Know Mojack - Two Canadian punkers leisurely dissecting every SST release chronologically with the occasional interview along the way, good fun.

Amazing, it's not how I pictured it at all, I wonder if that structure at the back is where Rollins lived.

...from what I hear, certain SST bands had the same issue even when Ginn was releasing the records! (/snark)

My favorite SST releases were by Das Damen, btw

tylerw plz keep us posted on that, sounds cool

I've been just totally obsessed with USHC lately

I mean, even more so that usual

Wienerworld?!
