Prophecy Of Doom - Peel Sessions







From the quaint British county of Gloustershire came the overlooked band Prophecy of Doom. 1990 recording so by now the punks were playing much heavier grind metal punk. Love it! Also I have to post it as a counter balance to the next post by D.A.F.

D.A.F. - Die Kleinen und die Bosen




D.A.F. stands for "Deutsch Amerikanishe Freundschaft" (German/American Friendship) . This LP "The little and the evil" is in my top ten all time best LPs so I'm going to share it with you and broaden your interests. Side A is studio and Side B is fucking psycho live from March 1980.
The band was mainly comprised of Robert Gorl a German who later went off to Asia to live a Buddhist live and Gabi Delgado-Lopez a Spaniard who later went to live in Scandinavia. The band were criticized unfairly for some of their imagery and logos also for their homo eroticism. Later LPs nearly always show them with naked torsos. How shocking! I introduced my friends in Nitzer Ebb to D.A.F. and you can see and hear the influence they had. D.A.F. recently got back together for a couple of gigs and put out a CD in 2003 which is very good, but was pretty hard to get hold of. It's simply called "Funfzehn Neue DAF Lieder"(15 new DAF songs) and has the two looking as sexy as ever and playing music as good as anything they made back in the early 80s. D.A.F. were signed to Mute Records, a label that released a lot of good electronic bands. The latest though is on Superstar Recordings. Here's also some you tube links www.youtube.com/watch?v=dShxBilGasc www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwAJXV070OY

Luxemburg

I have driven through Luxemburg several times on the way to Germany. I also saw them lose something like 8-0 to England at Wembley when I was a kid. However, being the champion of underdogs that I am I cheered for Luxemburg. Didn't go down well with some people. At home I always felt like a tourist. Know what I mean?

Lots of these bands are from Luxembourg. Some are a bit screamo, but still not bad. If you like the sound of a band search them out and give them some encouragement.

Links

Check out the running riot website http://www.mrmagoomc4.blogspot.com/ for a whole bunch more rare gems. I haven't paid for Megaupload at the mo so I can only download one file at a time, so they'll take a while. The first three I did were the Court Martial, Blitzkrieg and Mayhem demos.

Website of the week goes to www.ultracrust.com which has a whole bunch of goodies. It's in Spanish. I'm not sure which country it's based from, but I like it a lot with some bands I'd never heard of like Tragetelo which has Martin from LimpWrist etc drumming.

Blitzkrieg - Animals in Lipstick




Liverpool boys recorded in 1983 on Sexual Phonograph Records. This is the only record I have on this label. Anyone know what else was on it?

Saturday, October 20, 2007


Some tunes which I thought were French, but turn out to be from Luxemburgh around 1996 on Skunk Records. This says pay no more than $3.50. The record shop tried to sell it for $3.99. What gives? Anyway I got it for 50c, I should send the balance to Europe, but I'm a tight bastard.

Papi, Queens, Reichkanzlers, & Presidennti




This is one the the best compilations ever. It has everything going for it that got the juices flowing of a young punk. It came from Italy in 1982 and only cost one pound, it is on red vinyl, the booklet has info from each band, it has the quirkiness of being 33rpm on one side and 45 rpm on the other. Also the rawness of the production inspired one to make similar music. Lastly I just love those fuzzy Italian guitars. http://rapidshare.com/files/63879870/Papi__Queens__Reichkanzlers___Presidennti.rar

Bored Youth - Touch and Go




I have this ep which is on Lost and Found Records and released in 1990, but the songs are originally from November 1981. A real gem. Can't find any info about the band, except that Flex says I must have the first edition of the 2000 pressing as I have the red vinyl. I separated the A side tracks but not the B side. It's only 5 minutes long a I think it runs better together. http://rapidshare.com/files/62740199/Bored_Youth.rar

Punk Poets - Repost

Punks on Postcards

Did you watch those videos over on GoodBadMusic? I saw the Islington Squat documentary a long time ago. Those were the days! Hey don't be too hard on the young american punk in Camden. His heart is in the right place. I've looked more stupid and said worse. Punk is Wankers!

John Peel



Here's some rare early punk sessions from the John Peel show. I don't like White Cats, but here you are anyway. Special prize for anyone who can tell which track Mau Maus covered. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GM1V5PNT PW: RPM

Mau Maus - Live at The Marples

http://rapidshare.com/files/59797404/Mau_Maus-Live_AT_The_Marples.rar




Live LP 2nd September 1983 from Mau Maus. On Pax records. Good sound and excellent booklet of Pax Fax accompanies it. There was also an american Mau Maus. This is the Sheffield band. They had a lot going for them. They appealed to punx and skins and played abrasive music with good lyrics, but could also carry a tune. They appear on a few comps and I have 3 eps, this live LP and another LP by them. By the way the Mau Maus were an African tribe who rebelled against imperialist colonials.








This post is becoming very trying. The Blogger photo uploader won't work and Rapidshare got down to 1 minute the reset back up to 40 minutes, now it's lost the connection. Then I tried to copy a cd for you and the computer won't recognise the CD.

Court Martial




A Riot City release from the magic year of 82. The band members look like they are about 14 or 15 years old. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H6E9QPKI PW:RPM

Public Execution/Dana Sixty and the Pistol Grips






I think both bands were from Ohio. The Public Execution tracks appear to be from 1987, whereas Dana 60 is from 1999. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7MVTDERF PW: RPM

Public Disgrace




More early 80s punk. Public Disgrace were from Liverpool. Very basic music, you can taste the cheap cider oozing from the record grooves. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JAX46KNP Cannot find any info if they did any more vinyl.

F


Boy life is fun, especially if you don't think about the shit that goes on. Had a great time camping. My 7 year old asked what was the purpose of wasps i.e what did they contribute to the world. I asked him what was the point of humans. He said to look after the world. I told him they weren't doing a very good job, wasps are more useful and less dangerous.
Also I went to see the legengary Florida punk band "F" play at Sound Idea in Brandon the other day. Damn fine show. The bassist was dressed like a wrestler ala Nacho Libre or Kendo Nagasaki, they let off fire extinguishers and I got F'd up. What a sexy body! My 13 year old daughter goes with me and also had a thoroughly good time. Burritto Records from Sound Idea have the F EP. Also the band has a My Space. they have been going since before most of you were born.
