Lately,



Dead Kennedys - In God We Trust, Inc. EP (Statik Records) 1981



^JB hooked me up with this punk EP I shoulda had a while ago. Hardcore niceness that blows up the speakers, so cool. I love this smart punk album.



Popdefect - Game of Fear 7" (Dionysus Records) 1991



^The garagier side of this modern punk group. I have yet to find anything these guys dropped that isn't great and this is no exception.



Blonde Redhead - 23 LP (4AD) 2007



^Weird cover, but it's such a fantastic chick band. Maybe I shouldn't call it that, there is a male singer too, he's got his hands in the production as well, but it's her voice that makes this band unforgetable. I don't know what you'd file this under, dream pop maybe? It's very breathy, very dreamy and introspective modern rock. Not as unstoppable as their almost perfect Misery is a Butterfly but still just as progressive as rock gets.



Neu! - Neu! LP (Astrialwerks) 2001 RE of 1972 OG



^One year after playing drums on Kraftwerk's first album, Klaus Dinger he joined forces with Michael Rother and they formed Neu!, the highly influential kraut rock movement was just starting to take shape and this was it. It's very ambient but not spaced out, it still grabs you as you listen to it opposed to it being the more passive listen you'd get out of Brian Eno's Ambient series. Lots of distorted guitars looped and accompanied by some unidentifiable tape samples, it's cohesive like a collage but it's not just audio art, it's real music too. This reissue by the unlikely electronic label Astrialwerks is lovingly recreated in a nice fat gatefold cover.



Boscoe - Boscoe LP (Numero Group) 2007 RE of 1973 OG



^One of my favorite reissue albums on Numero records. Some extremely moody funk and soul on this.



The Whitefield Brothers - In the Raw LP + Bonus 7" (Now Again) 2009 and Chokin' 10" (Soul Fire) 2001



^The biggest funk 7" I have is right there. So funky, so dope. The album reissued by Egon on Now Again uses the same 2 songs on that 10", however, with the ten you get the even more funky extended versions of the song that seem to sound even chunkier on this oversized seven. The drums are so snappy, and so sharp, I can't help myself, every time I drop the needle on it I bug out to this.

Some random nice stuff:

Lee Fields - Fought for survival



The intro must've been sampled, it sounds familiar. Something by Diamond D maybe? Headbanging funk!

Barrington Levy - Robbin Hood




Winston Hussey - Fight war again




Banbarra - Shackup



Finally picked up the 12" reissue of this. The song is just as funky as the famous break.
