HC from Argentina, Noise Rock from Germany, Indie from Chicago, Alt-Pop from the Netherlands, and new Genghis Tron from Poughkeepsie

This post wraps up me playing catch up from being on hiatus. If you would like to submit something to CNQ for future posts, I'll be more inclined to listen and share if you send me a Bandcamp, Soundcloud, or Youtube link to matt at clean nice quiet dot com. I get contacted on the CNQ Facebook Messenger page a lot, but it's easy for me to miss those, just a heads up. I'm not on Twitter anymore, or Instagram or any of the Tick Tocks. Just not my thing. I shouldn't even be on Facebook, that company is swine. But, there's no ethical consumption in capitalism, yadda yadda.

I get requests for me to review an album and I'll mention once again, I'm probably not going to do that. I mean I might, if I get a wild hair, but in general if you submit something I like, I'll share it here with a quick sentence of who the artist(s) be, where they're from, what it sounds like, and that link to your baller-ass sound.

If it's not for CNQ I may or may not respond, apologies one way or the other. But if I don't respond about one thing you send me, please feel free to continue to contact me if you have something else you want me to check out. I enjoy a variety of music and if one thing you submit isn't for CNQ, that doesn't mean the next thing won't be.

And then you'll get listened to by all 4 or 5 of CNQ's dedicated readers/listeners (that number includes me).

Let's get to it:

6 song demo from 2020, Argentina's Emboscada is raw hc done right:

BITE is quality noise-rock from Münster, Germany. This is off a 6 song album released in November 2020 called "Never Satisfied," and you can still get the CD or cassette release, or digital from Bandcamp, of course:

Rick Treffers is a Dutch singer-songwriter and this single released digitally on Bandcamp back in February is choice:

Here's another track from Treffers released this month, "The Best of Your Days." Very pleasing alt-pop from a forthcoming album called "Looking for a Place to Stay." I'll be digging into Treffers' back catalog moving forward for sure, and this makes me very interested in what the new album will sound like. Fans of Belle and Sebastian take note:

Chicago's Nonagon is a three piece outfit who just released their new album "They Birds" on Controlled Burn Records earlier this month. 12 songs of righteous late 90s-inspired indie, reminds me of Cap'N Jazz and what they used to call emo before the kids made that tag mean something different:

In the mail today I received this new Genghis Tron, "Dream Weapon," on vinyl from Relapse Records. It's the Macha-est thing since the last Macha album, however long ago that was. Previous Genghis Tron I've not been able to grok; this, however, I can really get behind. Maybe it's the new singer:

There was a Nintendo game called Ghengis Khan that I loved to play as a kid. I would stay up all night playing that game, finally fall asleep, and then wake up and play it some more. Loved it.

CNQ GBV POP-UP SHOW

I've been reading Zeppelin Over Dayton by Jeff Gomez, which is great, as is his GBV podcast, the book is a transcription of the podcast which covers each song on every GBV release. Tonight we watched "Watch Me Jumpstart," the GBV doc from 1998, which is now on Youtube.

I love Guided By Voices. Here's a quick blast of the recent hits, starting with my new personal favorite, "Heavy Like The World," along with some other hits, ending with another of my old personal favorites, "How's My Drinking?" off the incredible Isolation Drills:

CNQ's "THE WEIRD BUMMER COMPILATION" now on Mixcloud!

In the Beforetimes, we called a compilation like this a mixtape, which ya know is a collection of songs you made on a dual cassette deck and gave to a friend or a girl you liked. Nowadays a mixtape is a collection of songs with unlicensed samples, so in keeping with the times I've called this a compilation as if it's something official put out by a label. But between you and me, it's what us kids in the 80s and 90s called a mixtape. 22 tracks, an hour and thirty minutes, of previously unreleased and released tracks from the world's finest temporary shut-ins!

Thanks to all of the artists who contributed. I should be able to do a second one of these...shoot me an email at matt at clean nice quiet dot com if you want a song on the next Weird Bummer comp.

Shootin' Some B-Ball and Maxin' To The 80s

I've been listening to a lot of 80s new wave, pop, stadium and soft rock, and hip-hop the last couple of weeks, it's just something I do sometimes. I enjoy those songs and the fuzzy nostalgia I associate with them. MTV started on August 1, 1981, and I was thinking today that it may be fun, once that 37 year anniversary comes around in two and a half months, to start a weekly video post showcasing songs and videos I enjoyed that were being played on MTV or the radio that week in 1981.

We'll see if I remember to do that in 2.5 months. I went and shot basketball by myself at the rec center tonight. It was the first time I'd done that in over a decade. I had a goal growing up and always enjoyed playing 21 and HORSE. I tried out for the basketball team my freshmen high school year but I was too much of a wuss to get past try-outs. That being said, I wasn't bad, for a white kid of semi-average height. Tonight was like riding the proverbial bicycle. It all kind of came back to me. I practiced from the free throw line first. I aimed, let the ball roll off my finger tips. After a couple of air balls and some that bounced off the rim and backboard, I finally got one in, using the backboard. After a few more, I netted one, and it was pretty thrilling. I started taking shots from various points behind the three point line. I landed a few, netted one. I tried a lay up. That didn't go well. I got some more in from the free throw line and called it a night.

My b-ball adventure only lasted about 15 minutes -- the previous 15 minutes I had been walking around the track upstairs -- I was winded and sweaty, this was the first exercise I've gotten in at least a year, if not more. I hope I keep up with it, shooting hoops was a lot of fun. I daydreamed about getting good enough that I could play a pick-up game and not embarrsass myself. We shall see.

The whole 30 minutes I was at the rec center, I had in my headphones and was listening to popular 80s music on Pandora. It's a station I've been training for years named Breakfast Club Radio. It's very comforting. Occasionally I'll hear a song I'm not familiar with, like this Depeche Mode song called Precious, which is actually from 2005. Per Wikipedia, it's the band's forty-first single, and the first single from their eleventh studio album Playing the Angel. I've only recently began appreciating Depeche Mode so I just assumed it was something from the 1980s I'd never heard.

I'm not that familiar with the Cure's discography, but most of the time, when I hear them, I find them embarrassing. All that baritone emoting is a turn-off, man. That being said, I enjoyed this track, which, per Wikipedia, is the only single from their third studio album, 1981's Faith.

I love the Fixx's "One Thing Leads To Another" and "Saved By Zero." Those are great singles. I've never really heard anything else by them though, so I was excited to hear this song, Liner, a track from Reach The Beach, their second studio album and the same one that features the above two mentioned songs. I need to check out the rest of that album.

Things I've had to thumbs down on my Pandora Breakfast Club Radio: "Bette Davis Eyes," by Kim Carnes, and "Love is a Battlefield," by Pat Benatar. I just can't anymore with those two singles. I will listen to Material Girl, or Manic Monday, or Heart and Soul by T'Pau, every day of my life, but I'm tired of Bette Davis Eyes and Love is a Battlefield. Sorry. I also had to thumbs down "We Got the Beat" by the Glee Cast. I love the Bee Gees version, and listen to it every time it comes on. I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna listen to something from the Glee Cast.

But that's just me.

Anyway, one thing I can complain about for my Breakfast Club Radio is it doesn't play near enough Lisa Lisa or Information Society. I'm gonna remedy that now.

File Under: Better Late Than Never

Here's a best-of-January collection of EPs and one full length from labels and bands I follow on Bandcamp.

Sauna Youth's song Transmitters, off their 2015 album Distractions, was one of my favorite songs from last year. These two songs are off a new 7" you can purchase from Upset the Rhythm. The A-Side, The Bridge, is from Distractions but the B-side, Blurry Images, is new to me:

This is neat, from Atlanta's Chunklet Industries, a four song 7" from various artists, "one of a small stack of random copies left over from the pressing," with only 5 left at this writing, per their Bandcamp page. The Black Lips, Baby Shakes, Gentlemen Jesse and His Men, and Coffin Bound. From 2009:

From Minneapolis, this is the first song off a new 5 song cassette put out by Lawn Chair Records:

21 song comp from Portland's Resurrection Records:

Fun French punk from French DIY punk label No Glory Records:

And that's my best of Bandcamp updates from January. I know it's March. What do you want from me?

Punk Out To The Max: French Crust, Puerto Rican Resistance, Synth-Punk from Dallas, Grindcore from the UK, and Wisconsin Fuzz

HC crust from France. This was released all the way back in 2004:

Puerto Rico's Enrique Lópe heads Krampus Records, is the Madd Blake of Madd Blake y Los Stalins, and has put out a lot of great stuff in the past few years. Here's a new project of his called República Bananera, "Resistance Songs From A Pre-Apocalyptic Puerto Rico":

Cool post-punk from Dallas, off an LP available on their bandcamp page. This is from last October:

Let's get down to it with this extreme heaviness from a UK band called Brainshit. This will be out soon, from a split cassette release along with a band called Anti-Social Behavior, courtesy the Mind Ripper Collective:

Fuzzy, poppy punk from Madison, Wisconsin. This was put out in 2011:

Madd Blake and the Stalins, Miss Her Beer, and Mark Palm

Man I need to share a 45 to stay legit. Maybe next week. In the meantime, here's some new stuff.

Madd Blake and the Stalins are from Puerto Rico and play Cramps-inspired "primitive rock'n'roll," which I can dig for sure. Here's a live video from their first live gig, performed just last week. Bless this Internet!

CNQ's gunk-buddy jllull has a new rock'n'roll print zine called Miss Her Beer so go order it after you're done here. She's also been keeping a music blog called Punk Gunk that I've been unaware of until this evening, but glad I found out about it. The name, I think, is inspired by the Punk Gunk, Garage, Psych & Wild Shit facebook page, a turntable.fm group that, after turntable.fm's mishandling and demise, stuck around and kept cool.

Blogger's having problems with its blog list widget, by the way. I'm proud of the ridiculously long blog list I have that dates back three years, but keeps the most recently posted blogs at the top (featured at right on the web browser version of this page). Sometimes I think I might should clear out the ones that haven't posted in over a year but who knows, maybe Crud Crud will post again one day. Anyway, it won't let me add to it right now.

From Germany's Hardware Records, tape release of this '80s style hc punk solo project of guitarist and songwriter Mark Palm:

I've never heard of Mark Palm, but he's apparently a busy dude. Here's more hc from him, this from 2014:

Palm is also in this more poppy band Supercrush. This is from June of 2014:

...and in this SF-based shoegaze act, Modern Charms. This is from 2013:

He's in the totally metal Black Breath:

I think he got his start in this band Go It Alone:

And a sort of metal sounding project called Devotion followed that. This is from 2008:

Here's an interview with Palm talking about Night Prowler. And here's what I think is his bigcartel site, KRAM Records.

Finally, in the shameless self-promotion department, here's a new two song EP from my new band, Badger Carcass (stylized as BDGRKRKZ). We're calling it post-garbage because it's like, what comes after garbage.

Lucky 7 to Start the Week: New Lo-Fi, Loud Punk, Live Rockin', and One Argentinian Freak-Out

I'll start out with a longer one than usual, but I like this song. Frodus was a DC band that operated from 1993-1999, and rose again in 2009-2010. They played mathy hardcore. This is from a live show at the Black Cat Club in DC, I think in '99:

Philly's Doom Whore sounds pretty cool. This was put out in March 2014:

Interesting freak-out, from Argentina. Maybe a little Man Man-ish, and in Spanish:

Hardcore from Portland. These guys have a cassette demo you can order for $5:

Per the band's bandcamp page, this was recorded in one of their grandma's garage back in '07, I think the guitarist Sean, who is now in a band called Cumstain. I love it.

I think this is from Japan? It's cool:

John Wesley Coleman

Blogger has this little widget where you can let people vote on the post, and I gave the options boss/mas o menos/eats it. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I gave the Internet the option to tell me my post eats it. Oh well. I think it's more punk rock to take the negative criticism than to remove the option.

Austin rocker John Wesley Coleman was born in Irving, Texas on Thanksgiving Day, 1975, and has been making music for over 20 years now. I discovered him via a split 7" he did with fellow Austinites The Crack Pipes on Sick Thoughts, released around 2009, but The Crack Pipes song is from an album they did in 2003.

I purchased my copy at the flagship Half-Price Books in Dallas for four bucks - it was actually one of the first seven inches I bought for the blog, back a couple of years ago. I just kept buying 45s like a nut and this one got buried.

So Coleman's side of that 7" is called "Minor Wes," and it's two and a half covers of Minor Threat songs and one original, Shut Up & Love Her. The covers, as far as I can tell, are not hitherto available on the Internet, so here they are, for a limited time, and for education/historical purposes only:

Guilty of Being...Wes/Minor Wes

If the embedded player above doesn't work for you, try this: Guilty of Being...Wes/Minor Wes"

"Straight" Edge

If the embedded player above doesn't work for you, try this: "Straight" Edge

So thru the magic of the Internet I got to ask Coleman about the recording of this 7" and received some rad insight into some Texas music history.

JWC says Minor Wes was recorded at the same studio, Shape Have Fangs, and with the same band (The Fleshlights) Coleman used on the album Steal My Mind, which is on Google Play and worth checking out for sure. For Minor Wes, basically they had a kegger and invited their friends to lovingly record seven Minor Threat songs with them, as well as that original number -- Shut Up & Love Her, linked above.

Coleman has another band called The Golden Boys, and they're cool too:

Finally, as a special treat for all you CNQrs (both of you), here's an unreleased track of Coleman's "Strange Life," recorded by Andrew McCalla, down in Austin, back in February '13:

Strange Life

If the embedded player above doesn't work for you, try this: Strange Life

A Potpourri of Sound

This morning at work I listened to Gil Scott-Heron's I'm New Here, which is good, on google play. Google recommended Donny Hathaway based on that listen, whom I thought I had never heard. I queued up Hathaway's soundtrack for the 1972 movie Come Back, Charleston Blue. Turns out, the fourth track on the album, Vegetable Wagon, has been sampled several times over, from Dr. Dre's Rat-Tat-Tat off my fave album ever The Chronic, to DJ Jazzy Jeff, Biggie, and KRS-One (according to WhoSampled and Youtube comments on the Vegetable Wagon clip below).

I recognized the first few seconds of the song from Mix Master Mike's absolutely amazing Anti-Theft Device. You can hear the sample from Vegetable Wagon at around 10:36:

A little while later on the Hathaway album is Little Ghetto Boy, used prominently in the Dr. Dre/Snoop/Nate Dogg song Lil Ghetto Boy, also off The Chronic. I didn't realize Lil Ghetto Boy had an official video:

Google play then suggested Minnie Riperton's first two albums, 1974's "Perfect Angel" and 75's "Adventures In Paradise," re-released together in 2004 by the U.K. label Stateside. I feel like my life has been enriched by listening to these two excellent albums -- I recommend you go do the same after you're done here.

Google play suggested Roy Ayers after that, another one I'd never heard, so I brought up Ayer's 1976 effort, Everybody Loves The Sunshine, which was cool too:

And that was my day of listening to cool shit while I worked. Meanwhile, on twitter, Canada's 4th smartest person recommended to me this new video from Winnipeg's shoegazey The Hours:

And I got the Doomtown Records update today, and zeroed in on this synth-punk sweetness, from Croatia. This was released this past February:

Party Line/Spider And The Webs 7" Split (2006)

Party Line/Spider and the Webs 7" split. I picked this up for $4 at the 1/2 Priced last year. All four songs are choice lady-punk circa 2006, from a label called Local Kid. Somebody has put the Party Line songs on Youtube and Spider and the Webs have a Bandcamp presence, so no need for me to provide the mp3s for historical purposes:

Midnight Cowboys

The Anti DiFrancos/Ass End Offend "My Imperialist Hard-On Is Bigger Than Yours" (2002)

I picked this 7" up from B4 in Deep Ellum because I liked the name Anti-DiFranco and the album art was cool. Righteous D.I.Y. hardcore from Missoula, Montana, early 2000s.

Poisoned Candy Records and the two bands on this split moved to Portland later in the decade. They continue to operate, here's their Facebook page. Ass End Offend changed their name to Squalora. I e-mailed Poisoned Candy and Matt from PC (and Squalora) was kind enough to email me back, and point me to their Bandcamp page, where they have their entire discography available for free/pay what thou wilt, which is nice of them. If you're into hardcore punk I'd recommend checking them out after you're done here.

Here's the Discogs entry on the album, here's the Wikipedia entry on anarcho-syndicalism, and here's 8 great, angry songs in about fifteen minutes or so, courtesy Poisoned Candy Records and Bandcamp. Enjoy!

Booger Records Compilations: "Eat Yer Greens" (1993) & "When You Think It's Butter But It's Snot" (2001)

Fans of noise, trashy punk, art brut/outsider art, joke songs and obscure sound in general should bend over backwards to obtain a copy each of these two awesome compilation LPs. It turns out you don't have to bend too far (unless that's what you're into), as "Eat Yer Greens" and "When You Think It's Butter But It's Snot" are both still available for $7.50 + post, a pittance compared to just how much wild crazy sound is on these albums. Not to mention the colored vinyl - green for "Eat Yer Greens," and booger white with flecks of yellow for "When You Think It's Butter..."

True and total freaks can get these two fine specimens courtesy Rev. Stevie Fever, AKA Rat Soup, the proprietor of Booger Records (who also put out this Mark Chapman Experience 7" back in '91) by emailing him: revfever at paypal dot com. Let him know what you want and he'll send it to you. Each album is $7.50 plus post, which includes a pro-made LP mailer and extra packing inside.

There is also limited edition -- 23 copies! - hand screened jackets of "Snot," available for $15.00! YOU MUST HAVE IT!!!

"Eat Yr Greens" comes with a free comic. Sorry for the lame phone pic that doesn't do the album art (done by a cat whose name was once Earwig but who now goes by Plague Doctor) on either of these justice; my scanner ain't big enuff for LPs and I ain't no shutterbug.

I'm pretty sure these comps are ethnomusical projects of the highest caliber. As the album artwork on "Eat Yer Greens" sez: "When you want the worst...pick the best...pick a BOOGER!"

These first two are from 1993's "Eat Yer Greens:"

Jesus Got Paid by Mitey Head

Nightmare of Darkness by Jethro Tilton

These two gems are from 2001's "When You Think It's Butter But It's Snot." You should see the beautiful colored white and yellow vinyl on this one:

That's Sodemy! by Vanilla

Hung Over Pulling Rickshaw by Touch Pong

There's so much other choice stuff on these albums, from nearly-unlistenable noise (a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your asthetics - I like it, my wife doesn't, for instance) to some funny/rockin' punk songs and an oddball cover of Gary Numan's Cars, I'm truly blown away by the scope of all of this. The back cover of "When You Think It's Butter..." advises

"Play at maximum volume on shitty mono player when extremely hung-over"

Sage advice. Rev. Fever sez another Booger Records comp is in the works, and he's still accepting submissions -- if you think you've got what it takes to be on a Booger comp, let the Rev. know: revfever at paypal dot com.

Also, be sure to check out Skult, Rev. Fever's recent industrial/experimental jams.

SPOTIFY: 60 MINUTES W/ MATT EPISODE #3

Pase Rock: "Lindsay Lohan's Revenge" Fan-Made Video

I went thru a brief phase where all I listened to was rap, pop and dance songs with dirty lyrics. I have a little compilation of those songs on Spotify, but this song, Pase Rock's "Lindsay Lohan's Revenge" from 2007, isn't on Spotify, and I can't buy it on the iTunes or on Pase Rock's myspace page (they do have it streaming tho).

Check out this guy's fan video of the song. The video is fine, but the song is totes NSFW. Also, Not Safe For Grandma (NSFG). Unless your grandma is a progressive. Or a slut.

Adam Holtz Part Tres!

One of my earliest posts, in June of last year, was a 45" from 1980 I picked up on a lark by one side-burned, star spangled bell-bottomed Adam Holtz (hey, it was 1980!). Adam came across the post on ye olde internet and contacted me, and we got to talking on e-mail. He's a real cool dude, and still rockin' after all these years. He sent me a CD of his stuff, which lead to another post in July, featuring some of his more recent jams.

I'd taken down the mp3 links on both those posts, as I do with all my older posts once my google page's music cabinet gets too full, but Adam's got a lotta fans and brings sweet, sweet traffic to my humble little site, so I'm gonna repost 'em here and keep 'em up in perpetuity, along with some even newer jams that Adam was nice enough to send me, from a compilation of tunes from 2006-2012. The new stuff is solid classic type rock'n'roll peppered with Adam's knack for really pretty love ballads. Excellent riffage, great choruses and melodies, and it's such an honest sound Adam puts out. A lot of the tracks on the new comp remind me of Ween sans irony, which I mean as a compliment to both Adam and Ween.

You can contact Adam at:
1616 Abbey Loop
Foley, Alabama 36535

These four jams are from Adam's new comp:

Finally, here's that 1980 45" of Adam's I mentioned earlier -- the rockin' A side "Party Hardy" b/w the haunting "The Little Old Lady:

Another Bandcamp Sampler

Sooner or later I'll get back to sharing some of the 45s I've been talking about. Meanwhile, I have a fun time doing this.

You can download the Potatoman soundtrack AND the "Potatoman Seeks the Troof" game from these guys' bandcamp page. Potatoman looks like a little nude nubbin'.

This is from last August:

There's punk that sounds like Cap'n Jazz, and usually I like that type of punk. This song is no exception. Recorded in 2010, released back in August '12:

This is really cool metal:

Recorded January, 2000 by Dwight Chalmers at Listen Laboratory in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Go Hogs! This was the debut 7" from a North Little Rock punk/metal outfit.

This sounds like a Sam Prekop song. It's new:

Have a good week! This is also new:
