which cassette in this shoebox full of cassettes should I listen to??

j0hn makes a persuasive argument

copulatin' blues is awesome! absolutely filthy raunch! it's got songs like "if I can't sell it I'll keep sitting on it" and "rubbin' on the darn ole thing" from old ass crackling 78s, it's all so good.

top 3:
the cramps
misfits
butthole surfers

can i have it xpost

if i was you, id check out the bone awl. havent heard it but the 'bog bodies' e.p. was awesome.

the morbid angel is a bootleg I bought back in '90, it's a soundboard from the european altars of madness tour. great version of "thy kingdom come" on it.

I'm pretty sure that live this kind of punishment was an official xpressway release? please tell me I can sell it on ebay for 60 million dollars.

What's Bone Awl? No info on amg

IIRC that Bone Awl is rehearsal recordings or something so it sounds even more grimy and fucked up than their other shit. It's not 'Meaningless Leaning Mess' but it's aight

that was an xpost, I didn't type all that to rabies in five seconds

But you could have if you wanted to.

Misfits and then Cramps, and while you're driving around listening to them, whip the other cassettes out of the window into open traffic.

Horse Cock, just for the cover of CIA Man.

what/who is teenage waistband? this thread is amongst the first google results

Dick Dale!

Dick Dale is perfect for driving down 95 imo, or driving down Route 2, or 117.

never thought i'd vote dick dale over copulatin blues, misfits and the sun city girls, but there it is.

rrrabies: the label that put out Copulatin Blues (Stash) also put out several volumes of old-timey blues/jass about weed and cocaine and stuff. There are two volumes of Copulatin IIRC.

"This Is It" is also one of the best driving songs ever, imo.

The King Of Surf is in fact excellent driving music.

I'm gonna look out for these Stash comps! Thanks Ian.

oh man Howlin' Wolf for sure.

He pwns most things, in that list and elsewhere. Eyeballin a Misfits vote too tho!

i had to join in! ILM Help Pfunkboy Decide Which Of These Cassettes He Should Play!

hehe i have that bone awl tape too. Have you still got the barbed wire that came with it?

I'm voting the Branca because I'm pretty sure I used to own that on cassette, too. (Was it an ROIR tape? I know he had one or two.)

it's a 2000 silver CRV

everything sounds good on the CRV system!

really hard not to vote for the camp lo cassingle

Alex, you are insane

Cheers!

Eric B, old school rap sounds best on cassette.

^ so true

there are some rap albums I can't listen to on CD, it's just not the same

Misfits and then Cramps, and while you're driving around listening to them, whip the other cassettes out of the window into open traffic.
Howlin' Wolf eats both of those candy-assed poseurs for breakfast.

Sez you.

Good one.
Please. Howlin' Wolf makes them sound like easy listening. Hey if you're into that, that's fine. I'm not judging or anything ...
I like the Cramps but Howlin' Wolf was the real deal. Lux Interior, Satan rest his soul, would certainly agree with me.

Sez me.

there were 2 copulatin' blues comps, I have vol 1. I'm pretty sure the CD is both volumes BUT some stuff on the original comps didn't make it to CD, bessie smith doing "put a little sugar in my bowl" IIRC, probably cause of rights issues.

teenage waistband was a providence no wave band that released two tapes and broke up a couple years ago. they were great! http://www.myspace.com/teenagewaistband

the bone awl cassette is rehearsal tapes but I don't think it sounds any better or worse than their other stuff. I love that they are so off the map that amg doesn't know who they are, good work bone awl. mine didn't come with barbed wire, boo.

the branca tape is on blastfirst iirc

maybe I should digitize some of the obscure ones and leonardo them

I've been on a huge dick dale kick lately, ian. been working my way through the first 6 albums. have you ever heard live @ ciro's? there's a song on there called "angry generation"!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

hope its a short journey!

bone awl! wow ilm you are too cool for school

If I had seen this poll, I woulda voted Team Dresch! Great album.

yeah I was kinda bummed team dresch didn't get any votes, it's one of my favorites. a postpoll +1 for them.

I gotta post the track listing to that lost records compilation, it's all mid to late 80s NYC stuff like mofungo, the scene is now, chain gang, fish & roses. I think lost records was rick brown's label? he gave me a copy when I interviewed him in '89.

RIP fish & roses I loved you so

also tape deck in new car is broek

lol ;_; lol

the branca tape is on blastfirst iirc

I do not rc, it's on atavistic

have a similar issue, so I started a copycat thread here.

whoops.

here:
first tape I should let rock til the tape pops? (cassette poll)

lol bone awl. hilarious that out of this this box of amazing tapes, the clear winner was the one that sounds most like someone shaking a box of tapes.

lol

also funny that this thread remains the only google results for "we are afraid to serve you" "lost records"

RIP lower east side

I'd love to prove how awesome the chain gang track "pictures of dead presidents" is, but it's not on youtube

riff @ 2:42 kills me
