"I hate to dance to songs I don't know.
Really? Get a life, another life and stay away,
please..."
If you cant to scare people and kill the dancefloor, you must play songs like this one. The Residents (identities of the members still unknown) start this volume with this 1978 recording for Ralph Records. It's also featured on their "Duck stab" album.
Post-rock avant-garde noise punk trash song which sounds much better on 45rpm instead of 33rpm. A 1999 Twisted Nerve release.
UK outfit formed in 1995 as Manson (after Charles Manson) but changed it to Mansun. Indie rock with a track from their second album "Six", here on a promo single for Parlophone in 1998..
Indie garage pop on Damaged Goods in 1997. They had at least one other 45 on that label and two more on Rotator Records in the second half of the 1990s.
Shitty lo-fi sound on shitty brown wax. Definitely thee record to chase people away from the dancefloor. Weirdest 90s single from Spain, no doubt about that! For those who ever attended the Wild Weekend Festivals in Benidorm in the early 2000s, they were also known as Los Borbones. Second and last single for Discos Alehop in 1997.
Legendary singer of The Monsters, Switzerland's best known garage psychobilly outfit and also owner of Voodoo Rhythm Records, Beat-Man is the king of trashabilly, only equalled by Hasil Adkins himself. Have you ever seen his interview with Hasil in his camper? Hilarious! A 1996 release on Wild Wild Records.
San Francisco's answer to the British indie rock from the '90s, formed in 1996; two guys and two girls. It's their first single, released by Slash Records in 1996
Indie pop trash on Peek-a-boo Records from Austin, Texas, issued in 1997. Beware: not fit for the dance floor. See also vol 101 for another single.
Here's the real stuff, UK indie rock outfit with a psychedelic nod and much better than Oasis and Blur, to name but a few. This is the B-side of their second single, a Sony Music release from 1996.
From their debut single in 1993 and the only Elastica song I really like. Big name in the 90s indie rock scene in England. It's also the final track on their eponymous debut album from 1995, also on Deceptive. My red vinyl copy came out on Sub Pop.
"Black Throat" was one of Traci Lords' best known porn movies from the mid-80s, aroudn the same time when Jon Spencer formed Pussy Galore. In 1989 he formed Boss Hog before going solo in the mid-90s with The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Here's Boss Hog's best song, from their second single for Amphetamine Reptile Records in 1991.
Californian trashy garage punk quartet with their final release on the Italian label of Helter Skelter Records in 1993.
Groovy JTQ-styled Hammond organ instrumental by this UK band formed by Bobby Gillespie who was also active with The Jesus And Mary Chain in their early days. Recorded in 1997 for Creation Records as flip to "Burning wheel".
Almost five minutes long to scare dance music lovers away from your dance floor. Recorded in 1992 for Big Noise and that's exactly what this sounds like. From Connecticut.
Active in Fun Boy Three and The Specials he was well known and loved by ska lovers, especially rude boys who loved 2-Tone Records. This split single was released in 1980. The other side features Roddy Radiation & The Specials. It was also issued as flipside to The Specials' "Rat race".
Why not end this volume with a hilarious version of "The wild rover" by folk-punkers The Pogues with the ever-drunken Shane MacGowan. It's the flipside to their magnificent "Sally Maclennane". Produced by Elvis Costello who married The Pogues' Cait O'Riordan a year later in 1986.
