Ha, erwischt! Wenn zehn Platten nicht genug sind, muss halt eine zweite Liste her. Jason hat nochmal eine Nacht drüber geschlafen und kommt hier mit weiteren 10 Scheiben für die Ewigkeit:

ok, here’s list II…

The Last Words – Animal World 7″

(Rough Trade, 1978)
Shoulda been a video (it was, but not as inspiring as the song itself). Encapsulated deep within was everything I loved about non US punk  !

.

Alan Vega – Juke Box Baby 7″

(Disques Vogue, 1981)

Makes me skate my bedroom .

.

Epic Soundtracks – Popular Classical 7″

(Rough Trade, 1981)
Named my label after a piece featured here.

.

Gun Club -  Miami

(SFTRI, 1982)

Asleep in Blood City !!

.

The Boy Hairdressers – Tidal Wave / Assumption as an Elevator 7″

(Fifty Third and Third, 1987)

Tidal Wave’s the track here. More TVPs fall out…. They don’t sound like that but the urgency’s the same.

The McTells – Snowy White 7”

(Four Letter Words, 1991)
C from K , the B side  I think, is the track to listen to on this one ….   Beautiful and aggressive sweater pop. Where do guys find these chords ?

.

Who Cares Compilation

(American Standard, 1981)
Template CA thrash w/ Symbol Six, Shattered Faith, Chiefs, AKA, Political Crap, ad infinitum. The AKA track is by far the best !!

.

Social Unrest – Rat in a Maze 12″

(Libertine Records, 1982)
Done in a studio at some ungodly hour. This almost sounds like a live album of sorts. Whatever the case no hardcore band was even thinking of using chord combinations like these at that period in history. Thank you Danny Norwood !!

The Legend! – Everything’s coming up Roses

(Vinyl Drip, 1986)
The female voices in the background still get me every time. Beautiful and SIMPLE . This should have been a massive influence on almost everyone ; I don’t know how it slipped by.

The Wolfhounds – Unseen Ripples from a Pebble

(Pink Label, 1987)
Songs that sound like how I hear all that music in my head! Everything about this record is beautiful.
