VA - THE WAILING ULTIMATE LP 87 w HUMAN MUSIC LP 88

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  Well, thanks for Hawksmort who commented over at Jon-ky blogspot when we were discussing favorite influential compilations wherein we just may have got all the bands on the label.  I realized when he mentioned it that I had never had nor heard the Wailing Ultimate which I think is a brilliant name for the bands within.  Staying an extra half hour today to finish so will fix any errors tomorrow.   Enjoy a great defunct label this week below!  

Both Comp's:  https://bestfile.io/en/eDpbBp6UVOyzyqO/file

I focused on getting the Homestead releases below but missed a couple like the second Nice Strong Arm and the last 7 by The Reaction.  Some I didn't get a foothold on like:  Laura Vinson & Free Spirit, Supreme Dicks, Love Child, OWT or Truman's Water but I did loaf over into Dutch East Trading company with some New Zealand bands (I think The Clean disappeared from the blogsphere  entirely).  Also a thorn is my side is the KIDS motion picture soundtrack as I had the CD but buried somewhere...couldn't believe I hadn't posted it in the past.  Oh well it will turn up someday.  Here are leftover links that were not reposted this week but left as 'posted in original place'.  ENJOY!!!!

REPOST and ADD ON:  O.K. I will be going back and cleaning up old posts later this week but there are a few of them as reposts. All CD's here are newly added to my old vinyl rips shown.  Per Discogs:  Big Dipper are an American indie rock band who formed in Boston in 1985 by former members of Volcano Suns and the Embarrassment. They released four studio albums between 1987 and 1990, before splitting up. The band reunited in 2008. They were described in a New York Times article as "musical contortionists: they love to toy with extremes, juxtaposing ferocious guitar noise with celestial vocal harmonies or planting a delicate melody in jagged rhythm"

THE URINALS - 7's 78 79 w Negative Capability....Check It Out CD 96

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  I had the 96 CD when it came out and have enjoyed it over the years but hadn't posted it here.  Per Discogs:  Los Angeles Punk rock band formed in 1978 as a five-piece parody of punk rock, at UCLA’s Dykstra Hall dormitory. The band consisted of Delia Frankel (vocals), Steve Willard (guitar), Kevin Barrett (toy drums), Kjehl Johansen (toy organ) and John Jones (later Talley-Jones, bass).  The band changed its name to 100 Flowers (inspired by Chairman Mao Zedong's famous quote), but disbanded in 1983. In 1996, the band reformed as The Urinals releasing a CD of new material in 2003. They later took the name Chairs of Perception (a reference to Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception) before again becoming The Urinals in 2008.

Former members incude:

Delia Frankel - vocals (1978)

Steve Willard - guitar (1978)

Kjehl Johansen - guitar, vocals (1978-1983, 1996-1998)

Rod Barker - guitar, vocals (1998-2005)

David Nolte - guitar, vocals (1998)

Fragile - st LP 76 -cc

 COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  Per Discogs:  Fragile was an obscure Dutch-Indonesian band that played a heavy, twin guitar rock laced with some progressive and psychedelic elements. Their music is not unlike Cargo  or Wishbone Ash. Formed in Staphorst, Overijssel, The Netherlands, circa 1972, they recorded their sole LP 1974 (not released until 1976). Apparently, after the album was released, their rehearsal location including their equipment was burnt down. This didn't make them stop performing, but eventually they did disband the band due to lack of income.

Fraction - Moon Blood CD 71 -cc

COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  Some great hard rock/psychedelic rock from Los Angeles.  Enjoy!

KOOL SKOOL - st LP 90

 I pulled this out (unheard from Goodwill) since the L'Trimm post I did with similar spunky R&B bordering on hip hop got a couple comments last week and this is in the same genre.  Jesse Johnson is involved per the Discogs:  US band from Minneapolis, originally called dáKRASH and protégés of Jesse Johnson.

Shortly after the band was formed, a change of direction and a makeover turned the band into Kool Skool by now consisting of members Bryan Tate, Edgar Hinton, DeeDee James, Gabriel Acevedo and Dion Craig who replaced Robert Jordan on lead vocals.

GREAT PLAINS - Length Of Growth 1981-1989 2CD 00

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  Going to put this one up front since I hadn't heard them and they really rock out akin to the Dead Milkmen I would say.  Per Discogs:  Great Plains was a band from Columbus, Ohio active during the 1980s.

Its vocalist and songwriter, Ron House, went on to found the much more successful band Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments.

BALD BILL HAGAN & HIS TROCADERONS - Music To Strip By LP w DAVID ROSE AHO - The Stripper & Other Fun Songs For The Family LP 62 w Strip Tease And Other Delights LP w Al Goodman AHO - The Merry Widow LP 58

Well a perfect week to round up the stripper type vinyl since Naked Raygun did the song 'The Strip" with 'all nude revue' as they talk about in 'The Merry Widow" and also for GG right below (I found someone doing Banned In Boston for this week's posts but now I can't find it.  Anyway I like to always say 'this blog writes itself' so enjoy!

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  Had to compile 91 files for this post but some were doubles.  I had a chance to see GG at the 7th St. Entry show during college but I was too chicken and wanted to keep clean as it were.  I had bought the ROIR tape back when it came out but wasn't enough to make me go.  However, in listening to more of this like I think from Banned in Boston or Insult & Injured opener you hear the goofy laughs of some guys near the stage and can only imagine what the hell is going on...kind of made it very real to me.  But the later screaming stuff is the cream of the crop you might say with his mohawks and marked up body makes the perfect whipping boy for you negative emotions, kinda like hey don't sweat it, GG's been there done that and cares about us.  Warning, discretion is advised!

HAPPY FLOWERS - My Skin Covers My Body LP 87 w Bleph LP 88 w Call Me Pudge 7 90 w Peel Session 7 91

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  Well if you have followed the DU blog at all you will know I dig this band since they came out.  Per Discogs:  Experimental/noise rock band, formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1983 by two members of The Landlords, John Beers ("Mr. Horribly Charred Infant", drums, vocals) and Charlie Kramer ("Mr. Anus", guitar, vocals), both students at the University of Virginia.

The duo combined improvisational noise punk guitar and drums with lyrics often written in the first person from the perspective of a child, with childlike intonation and grammar. Their humorous songs are mainly about freak childhood accidents and common childhood gripes.

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  Going to lump in all the New Zealand bands on this post so I don't have to stay at work too late on this huge undertaking.  Love the Clean but they are hard to find with such a general name. Here is the Discogs skinny:  Indie rock band formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1978. They originally broke up in 1982, but came back in 1988 and toured sporadically thereafter. Drummer Hamish Kilgour passed away in Dec 2022. In the years they were no longer a band, songs kept being released, including rarities and live recordings. Bands like Pavement and Yo La Tengo have cited them as a big influence.  In September 2017 The Clean were inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall Of Fame.

THE CANNIBALS - Bone To Pick CD 82 w Trash For Cash CD 85 w Run, Chicken, Run Vol. 1 CD 87 w Hot Stuff CD 87 w Please Do Not Feed The Cannibals CD 87

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  Well, haven't heard this band yet but looks like some great Neo Paisley!  Discogs says they formed in 1976 so that is unique for the genre.

SQUIRREL BAIT - st EP 85 w Kid Dynamite 7 86 w Skag Heaven CD 87 w Demo & Live

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  'I'm going to beat you up at the end of this!" what a classic opener for the EP that took the punks by storm!  Here is a show flyer I went to as I have been trying to do for this series:

https://bestfile.io/en/RWHIV1czZet0APc/file

SONIC YOUTH - st CD 82 w Confusion Is Sex CD 83 w Bad Moon Rising CD 85 w Evol CD 86 w Daydream Nation 2CD 88 w Dirty 2CD 92 w Screaming Fields Of Sonic Love CD 95 w The Eternal CD 09

HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:  Can't possibly post all the stuff for all these bands but I was relatively successful finding all the Homestead stuff like their 'Bad Moon Rising' album here and yes I have posted the Ciccone Youth CD in the past per the Discogs:   Sonic Youth, which initially comprised guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer Glenn Branca. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and recorded 15 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time. This view has been added to by the strength of their record "Sonic Nurse", which also featured the talents of Jim O'Rourke. O'Rourke left the band in 2005. In 2006, Mark Ibold joined the group.

In September 2011, Sonic Youth went on "indefinite hiatus" following the separation of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore (the couple had been married since 1984).

First group studio was Echo Canyon (2) in New York City, after that Echo Canyon West located in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Final lineup:

Kim Gordon – vocals, bass, guitar, trumpet (1981–2011)

Thurston Moore – vocals, guitar (1981–2011)

Lee Ranaldo – guitar, vocals, keyboards (1981–2011)

Steve Shelley – drums (1985–2011)

Mark Ibold – bass, guitar (2006–2011)

Former members:

Anne DeMarinis – vocals, keyboards (1981)

Richard Edson – drums (1981–1982)

Bob Bert – drums (1982, 1983–1985)

Jim Sclavunos – drums (1982–1983)

Jim O'Rourke – bass, guitar, keyboards (1999–2005)

and a flyer per a show I went to:

NAKED RAYGUN - Basement Screams CD 83 w Throb Throb LP 85 w All Rise LP 86 w Comp Trax w Vanilla Blue 7 87 w Jettison CD 88 w Understand? CD 89 w Raygun...Naked Raygun CD 90 w Over The Overlords CD 21 w Demo & Live

 HOMESTEAD HEROES SERIES:   This series has been a bear to compile the last two weeks but also very rewarding to finally organize these bands who have been so close to me.  I would see these guys with Breaking Circus, Rifle Sport, Man-Sized Action.  Shoot, I was going to add flyers so will have to do that this week but here are a couple I went to:

Yes, they nailed the sing-a-long we were doing at shows at the time like 7 Seconds did.  They go deep for me because when I listened to 'Vanilla Blue' I got a little choked up as past feelings rushed past me.
