Rock Your Baby

JAMC-Peel Sessions

Very few bands are able to sync into the certain mindset it takes to incorporate pop with an ugly side, and by ugly I mean noise. Scottland's JAMC need no introduction. Psychocandy is one of the greatest records ever made. Their peel sessions recordings require blood, alcohol, and a little teenage angst while listening; all while chewing as much gum as humanly possible.

                                                       INSIDE ME

The Jacks-Vacant World

Vacant world is a Japanese psychedelic record that shifted  Japanese rock's sound from copycat American rhythm and blues to a sound that is strictly Japanese. I don't need to mention how beloved this album has been by those that transcended psychedelic rock but just take a look at the singer, Yoshio Hayakawa. That look did for Japan what Brian Jones did for England or Bob Dylan for the U.S.

The Scientists-Blood Red River

Kim Salmon leading the way for some buzz-saw tunes from Australia. Blood red river compiles their material from 1982-1984. This gives the cramps' releases a run for their money and though that's difficult to imagine, even the weakest tracks ooze abrasiveness.

                            BACKWARDS MAN

John Maus-Songs

This record was at one point considered to be one of the absolute worst ever recorded, released, made, and heard. I don't have to tell you how pitchfork is now all up on this guy's nuts gobbling up every ounce of ejaculate emerging from him. He deserves the recognition though. This is his first release and my personal favorite.


    MANIAC

Loop-Heaven's End

 It's quite a shame that S3 needs to be mentioned every time someone blurts out the name Loop. The influences are there, no doubt, but loop's biggest tool is distortion, not the psychedelic gimmick that sometimes emerges from later S3 releases. Heaven's End is them at their rawest. If there's one requirement needed for a rock and roll record, it should be that technicality and musical prowess must be thrown out the window and amplifier volume should be cranked. This album is an exemplification of that.  Outside of WOLF FLOW, their peel sessions recording, this is them at their finest.

Hunting Lodge-Will

80's industrial album. Stuff that legends are made of.                    WILL

Shiny Crystal Planet

Masona and Angel'in Heavy Syrup getting together to form Christine 23 Onna; psych that is too good to pass up. This project eventually became Acid Eater, a more rough around the edges, fuzzed-out version of the original incarnation with two members added.
