The Stomachmouths on tour in Italy 1987. Lars had left the band by this time to form the Livingstones and then a couple of years later we started up the Daytonas together.

I can't stop listening to this song. This version
sounds like a 45 played at 33rpm!!!!!!!

I absolutely love the Apemen's sound, it's so unique. A member here who has seen them in Europe several times seemed to suggest that it's difficult for them to sound this way live, so maybe much of this is studio magic. I'd still seem them in a heartbeat if I could though!

3 incredible ablbums

First up, the new Diminished Men - Six O'Clock Baby

A collection of oddities and B-sides takes a loose approach contorting American and French film noir jazz/groove themes interlaced with dark, wire-tapped melodies. Re-imagined Jean-Pierre Melville and Jules Dassin soundtracks take a gravel road detour into Residents spirited geography and gets spit out into desert-surf meets Electric Miles. A raw, shape-shifting set of music along the lines of their "American Volume Swells" cassettes, Diminished Men once again delinquently reinvent themselves.

Also the latest from God Of Shamisen - Smoke Monster Attack

Finally, a band I just recently got hipped to. The gypsy jazz greatness of L.A.'s Fishtank Ensemble - Samurai over Serbia

Wish there were more groovy Garage bands like this around now!

I do wish that as well. The mid 80's garage punk revival definitely had some really great bands. Similarly, one can also wish for some more boss surf bands today... Anyway, another great Swedish garage band from that time (and the first modern band to be released on Crypt Records) was the Wylde Mammoths.

I didn't connect with this album initially, but I gave it another shot this past week, and I've come to appreciate it a lot more. In fact, I now think it's pretty great. The interesting thing is that all of a sudden I hear all sorts of shoegazing influence in the songs - I mean, seriously obvious in all sorts of ways, the vocal approach, the rhythms, the textures.... Not that I'm any kind of a metal expert, but that's the first time I've heard of a metal/shoegazing hybrid - and I like it!!

I saw that episode Jeff, and really enjoyed it. I think Sam Dunn got it right, they're definitely progressive, and incorporate whatever strikes their fancy (including surf on Crack the Skye) into their music, which I think definitely qualifies them for the progressive label. They obviously have a stoner element, too, especially on the older releases. I didn't really notice the shoegazing thing on the last album, but on this one it's everywhere, so I guess it's a new thing.

Such a great album. Of course, depending on your taste, every album they have done has been great.

I can hear what you are saying about the shoegaze influence, as well as the previously mentioned stoner rock influence. The fact is that these guys simply cannot be pigeonholed. Every album has been a progression.

Brett Hinds and Troy Sanders used to have a band called Four Hour Fogger that played a lot of house shows with my bands when I was in college in the 90's. Lets just say that he has come a long way since then.

My favorite release so far from Mastodon is the last album. However, it is not the standard release. If you preordered Crack the Skye from Itunes, you got the album in instrumental form. The songs, in my opinion, actually play better as instrumental tracks than they do with vocals. It is very reminicent of an instrumental band here in Alabama called HEMATOVORE. They have been around for 20 years and played many shows during the 90's with 4HF. It is impossible for me to think that Mastadon was not at least partially influenced by these local guys, as they are very well respected regionally.

THE KBK ... This is the last known signal. We offer Sanctuary.
