I’m sorry about the late posts and totally missed October but I’m too busy and lazy [whoa! that’s an oxymoron] at the same time. Busy doing a lot of father/husband stuff and lazy posting. Actually, I’ve already uploaded at least 10 records but I’m so tired lately to write something up.

the Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette

There’s much fuzz on what was the Damned’s best record ever – their debut Damned Damned Damned or this one, their third. Honestly, I am more partial with their debut but I totally enjoy Machine Gun as well. Anyways, I’m known to change my opinion regarding which is the best album of a particular band, but right now it is STILL Damned Damned Damned.

Machine Gun Etiquette boasts some of the Damned best songs ever – Love Song, the title track, Plan 9 Channel 7, Smash It Up, plus covers [MC5’s Looking at You, Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz and Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit].

I was supposed to upload their debut album only to find out that I left it at my sister’s house where most of my records are. Good thing Punk Not Profit blog posted that record, So, just click HERE to redirect you to that excellent blog for the Damned Damned Damned album.

Live! Live! Live!

Another day, another post. As always, I make it a point to have a “theme” for my post, being OC and all. lol. This time around, it’s live albums. Live albums capture the essence of the band and what they’re made of. Well, that’s how I see it and that’s why I love listening to live recordings.

First up is Husker Du’s Land Speed Record. Lots of people hate this album for reasons such as – “there are no breaks between songs” or “they played the songs very fast”. They maybe right, but in my opinion they kind of missed the point, which is the title of the album – LAND SPEED RECORD. No breaks between songs, they songs are played in double time – WHO CARES, it’s LAND SPEED RECORD for crying out loud, it’s supposedly fast…very fast! Whoa! Gotta take my medication. lol

Ok I’m cool now. Anyways, aside from Husker Du’s, I also posted classic live records from DK, Bad Brains, SLF, the Damned, Poison Idea and of course - the Ramones.

By the way, here’s the Betrayed (TRC Cassette) as requested by putanginas. I’ll upload the major label release of Betrayed – Again and other TRC releases in the coming days.

Husker Du - Land Speed Record

Dead Kennedys - Mutiny on the Bay

Bad Brains - The Youth are Getting Restless

Poison Idea - Pig's Last Stand

Ramones - NYC 1978 (Live)

The Damned - Final Damnation

Exploited - Live on Stage/Live at the Whitehouse
