SPITZ ST Label:NICKEL AND DIME(Ramones style punk)Ltd ed white vinyl The debut full-length from the year 2000 by Kalamazoo, MI's best and dumbest band of all time, The Spits, has been reissued again, this time back on the label where it began, Nickel And Dime Records, after multiple out of print pressings on Slovenly. If you didn't think Ramones-influenced punk could get even more simple and stripped down, this is The Spits. LP $20 SKU:27364

CURE- PORNOGRAPHY- DELUXE EDITION DBL CD Label:RHINO SEALED WITH MARK THRU BAR CODE BUT NEW . f you hear The Cure on the radio these days, it's probably a poppier song from one of their (quite wonderful) singles compilations. But survey the fans and they're more likely to point to PORNOGRAPHY as the British band's high-water mark. The set finds frontman Robert Smith at his most despairing (after a year of grinding tour dates, the group was on the verge of splintering), and tracks like “The Hanging Garden” and “One Hundred Years” practically drip with gloom. “We wanted to make the ultimate, intense album,” noted drummer Lol Tolhurst, and the collection resonated with enough listeners to put it into the U.K. Top 10. Released on this day in 1982, PORNOGRAPHY plumbs some very dark depths, and stands as a milestone of goth rock. CD $15 SKU:27365

FUZZTONES - Horny As Hell ( wild fuzz GARAGE rockers from Rudi Protrudi ) Label:NO FUN It's been some hard years for all fans of The Fuzztones. Finally the last record 'Salt For Zombies' was released in 2003. The longing for a new record is over and it was worth waiting. 'Horny As Hell' is one of the best Fuzztones creations ever! It brings you all that the Fuzztones are legendary for and much more. Mastermind Rudi Protrudi comes up with a 3 piece horn section and 4 female backing vocalists to get you the groove and to spearhead the new Garage Soul Movement that's rapidly sweeping Berlin (where the band now resides) and soon the rest of the world. So this time it's not only the Fuzz Madness that will blow your mind but also horns from hell - 'nomen ist omen'. The CD offers 17 tracks of hard-driving, hook-laden Rock 'n Roll anthems - the stuff that has made The Fuzztones inspirations to bands such as the Hives, the Horrors, and many more of today's 3rd generation of Garage rockers. Including future favorites 'Garden Of My Mind' and the Pretty Things track 'Alexander' which features Pretties' bassist and occasional lead singer Wally Waller as well as brand new versions of Fuzztones classics 'Ward 81' and 'She's Wicked' done in 'Big Band'-style. And last but not least get wild with Rudi's hypnotic vocal delivery - just as energetic and vital as when he formed the band 28 years ago! Additionally the band has made up a special tour this fall to make you go wild'n fuzzy!

THUNDERS, Johnny--Diary of a Gypsy Lover 23 TRAX ALTERNATE STUDIO CUTS,LIVE,RADIO)?Label:SONIC Punk rock guitar hero, earning a cult following for his noisy but epic style a few years before the insouciant new music gained its name. Following in the footsteps of his idol and role model Keith Richards, Johnny Thunders (born John Anthony Genzale, Jr.) lived the ultimate rock & roll life, spending most of his days churning out tough, sloppy three-chord rock & roll and gaining nearly as strong a reputation for his decades-long struggle with addiction as for his music. Thunders made his greatest impact as a member of the New York Dolls, the proto-punk glam rockers of the early '70s. During the late '70s, he was a familiar figure on the New York punk scene, both with his band the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist. Thunders performed and recorded steadily until his death in 1991, turning out a series of records that inadvertently documented the struggles of his life and his art. CD $10 SKU:20428

FLATTERY VOL. 2:- A TRIBUTE TO RADIO BIRDMANLabel:NOMAD KILLER COVERS BY TODAY'S HOTTEST PUNK-ROCK BANDS: GLUECIFER, BELLRAYS, NOMADS, YESMEN, NITWITZ. For those of you who still haven't removed the scorch marks Volume One put in your CD player, forget it! It's finally here -- Jake Starr and Dave Champion's second helping of modern-day bands' takes on 15 Birdman classics. Dunno how the ex-Birdmen themselves feel about this project, but from a fan's perspective, anything that evokes the spirit and feeling of the Birdmen is welcome.
There's nothing here as unique as the Bon Führer or Boyettes tracks on the previous installment, but there's still plenty to appreciate here. Gluecifer turns in a credible "Monday Morning Gunk," hewing pretty close to the original -- as many of the bands tend to do; variation usually takes the form of turning up the intensity, losing some of the subtleties of light and shade that the originals had, but hey, call it the price of a fan's enthusiasm.
Among the more original approaches is the BellRays' "If I Wanted To," in which this L.A. band, whom I've heard compared to "the MC5 fronted by Janis Joplin," comes across more like Black Sabbath fronted by Aretha Franklin -- which is not a bad thing (and makes me all the more anxious to seek out their self-released full-length CD, which the Barman was unable to unearth on his recent Stateside jaunt, even in their hometown!).
Other highlights: Silver Tongued Devil's "TPBR Combo," the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs' quick 'n' dirty "Iskender Time," the Nomads' "Hanging On" (which these veteran Swedes -- my main men of the moment -- don't quite make their own the way they have other material they've covered), and the Yes-Men's "Anglo Girl Desire" (with guitar/saxophone interplay that captures the feel of the wild Tek-Masuak break on the "Ritualism" version). Spain's Kike Turmix showcases his, uh, idiosyncratic vocal approach to "Aloha Steve and Danno," while the Spoilers win the Land Speed Record Award for the fastest version of "Descent Into the Maelstrom" ever clocked in North America OR Australasia, and Amsterdam's Nitwitz (including Hydromatics stalwart Tony Slug) turn in a solid "Dark Surprise." Oh, and memo to the "Demons" -- it's cheating to bogart more disc time than anybody else by doing a medley!
Radio Birdman were like a gang that created their own universe and invited the world inside it...like the early Who and MC5. Rock'n'roll doesn't get any better. These volumes are just a hint of how widespread their influence remains, 20 years plus since they crashed and burned. Kudos to Jake 'n' Dave for making this happen. Me? I'm ready for another volume, starting off with, say Holy Curse's great version of "Cryin' Sun"...but in the meantime, this'll more than suffice. Grab these while you can -- they'll make you wanna do the Pop AND the Moving Change - Ken Shimamoto COMP CD $10 SKU:27029
