It would be nice to see some of these current psychedelic/noise bands covered like Acid Mothers Temple, Black Dice, Lightning Bolt, Wolf Eyes and the Animal Collective. Also, an update on the Boredoms would be nice, too.

thanks.

arab on radar
the locust

plastic crimewave sound
mainliner

and non-noise, but still worth an entry:

Whoops, "This Mortal Coil" was in the '90s and Beyond category.

Are you folks certain that the 70s-80s vs 90s and Beyond distinction is useful? Fer instance, I looked for KLF in the '90s and Beyond category and didn't find it. They were under '80s, because their first incarnation's record came out in the late '80s... And as my mistake above shows, I missed "This Mortal Coil," because it was in '90s, even though their first record came out in '83.

You actually have a pretty nice saelection of new hip-hop. I'd like to see Company Flow and some of the Def Jux people and MF Doom/KMD. Even if I get **** for it I think you should also have stuff from Cap' N Jazz and related bands. Also I hate the Drive Like Jehu review which seems to just be casually tacked onto the bottom of the RFTC page. Finally Make-Up reviews would be cool.

You don't ever include compilations do you?

Black Box Recorder

Momus needs an update as his entry is in the 80's and he has done his most vital work in the 90's and beyond.

Their website is at [www.brotherspast.com] and I run a streaming radio station for them at [www.bpradio.net]. Tune in and listen to their live performances, and check out our message boards.

Caustic Notions
February 01, 2004 04:00AM
"Caustic Notions" was a Northern California (Saratoga, CA - an upper middle class white suburb about an hour south of san francisco - to be precise) band that tried to jump on the mid-80s Southern California hardcore bandwagon, and actually released a pretty satisfying record called "Never Look Back" on Tippycoaster Records. They don't exactly break any new ground, but they do the 7-Seconds speed-plus-harmony thing pretty ok. There's even a hardcore-lite cover of "Let It Be" on it. Lyrics consistently involve the many various ways in which they've been screwed over and lied to be coniving back-stabbers. Fun stuff.

Sue Saad and the Next
February 01, 2004 04:14AM
So, nobody ever said that the "bands that should be covered" section has to include only good bands, right? Sue Saad and the Next was an extra-funny new-wavified boring rock group. I'm not sure where they were from, but I suspect they were based in LA because their eponymous 1980 album (on Planet Records, distributed by Electra/Asylum) was recorded at Studio 55 in that city. The album cover features the 5 band members, decked out in red and black stripes and spandex, striking various poses of defiance in a what appears to be a fake alley in a photographer's studio. There are moments when they appear to be striving for Heart, though Pat Benatar is also recalled at times.

Straight Eight
February 01, 2004 04:26AM
Named after a type of car engine, Straight Eight was produced by Pete Townsend; all the info on the back of the record identifies them as Brits. The record I have, "No Noise From Here," is from 1979 and is on Eel Pie Records. It's pretty much your basic second-rate 1979 British punk rock (think of Chelsea at their worst). A mostly-boring listen.

February 01, 2004 04:47AM
Finally, a good band. Opal was one of the early bands of Mazzy Star guitarist David Roback. I have only the "Early Recordings" (1989, Rough Trade), and it's an album of absolutely gorgeous, dark, lush sort of mellow psychedelic country rock, all guitar and piano and the stunning vocals of Kendra Smith.

Opal had their drony moments but they reached a level never attained
by Mazzy Star whose slight J&MC connection let them coast towards
a few more fans/radio/TV than they would have otherwise had. Conversely, Opal maintained a density/intrigue that makes their full LP worth a listen or 3.

Holy Sisters of the Gaga Dada
February 02, 2004 03:05AM
These four rad, dykey lookin' ladies have a 1986 album on Bomp! called "Let's Get Acquainted," and I gotta say I love it. They seem to be going for that let's-get-savage-and-primitive jungle rock thing a la Bow Wow Wow and (certain moments of) Lilliput, and occassionally also venture into that moment of 80s new wave when it was cool to experiment with reggae (e.g. late Raincoats). The album cover shows the four of them in a super scary jungle landscape complete with superimposed images of "primitive" masks. The way in which they are sitting/standing in relation to one another, as well as the clothes they are wearing (three uber-femmes kneeling, one uber-butch standing and wearing a suit), suggests a relation of sexual dominance. They do an awesome cover of Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman." There are a few songs one can do without but it's still a fun record.

3 On Fire

The last three groups I was involved with personally, but I'm not stroking my ego here - I could swear that our compilation "Auto Glamour Sound" was covered, favorably, in the earliest Trouser Press Guide. BPA also made a later LP but I can't recall if TP reviewed it. Jim Green wrote the Teddy in the Frat Girls review, which we (Hospital Records) also put out back in the day.

Enjoying the site though! Very nice piece on Paul Marotta.

I picked up "Listen to the Silence" (Beggar's Banquet, 1979) today at a record shop and it's the bossest **** I've heard in a while. Marion Valentine looks like an intense new-wave drag queen. It's kind of weirdly disco-y, like Abba meets Gary Numan and Yaz. The Doll is also featured on the 1977 Streets compilation put out by that label. Good stuff.

Appliances
April 15, 2004 03:00AM
Appliances (from San Francisco) have a self titled 1981 album on "Go Productions" featuring four dischordant anti-jazz tunes, heavy on bass and trumpet, with titles like "Death Squad" and "Paranoia Rap." Each song presents itself as a study of the hypocrisy of American democracy: Latin American paramilitaries, the marines, media conspiracies, and Nazis figure prominently. The singer, according to the back of the record, is Dominique di Prima Baraka; the music was written by one "Opter Flame"; and the "guest artist" is Pons Maar. Since it's rare to find such an earnest combination of art rock and political message these days - and since there is even some manifestation of early, Debbie-Harry-meets-George-Michael-style "rapping" going on here to boot - this one does find its way onto my turntable now and again even though, musically, it's not particularly exciting.

More of the current wave of the Scandinavian rock stuff would be good:

The Soundtrack of Our Lives
Motorpsycho
the Hellacopters
Bear Quartet
Diamond Dogs
Mattias Hellberg
HIM (cheeseball as they are)
Thirdimension
Isolation Years
Citizen Bird (AKA Silverbullit)
Backyard Babies
Tiger Lou
etc.

I know a lot of the so-called stoner rock walks a line between what TP covers and straight metal, but if Kyuss is included, then Nebula should be, and I'd argue Wino's various projects (the Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, the Hidden Hand) deserve it as well.

I also second Hanoi Rocks. For a band that supposedly influenced the LA glam metal scene in the 80s, they're pretty damn eccentric.

Finally, I think the Snatches of Pink/Clarissa and Nikki Sudden/Jacobites entries need some serious updating.

Thanks for asking.

some of the stuff from early-90's on the Gravity Records label is good material to cover.

Heroin
Antioch Arrow
Angel Hair
Clikatat Ikatowi

there are complete discographies for Heroin and Angel Hair, an almost discography of Antioch Arrow (they released another, more goth-ish record that was reissued on 31G records), and an LP, EP, and live LP from Clikatat Ikatowi. this stuff is pretty historically important for hardcore that has more ties to punk than metal.

I recommend the Knobs, a power-pop-ish band from Delaware. They made a couple of great singles (especially "This Lonely Boy") and an album in the mid-90s. The album is called "Happy, Sad, Drunk" on MoodFood Records.

Oops, I found their website and there was another album released called "Guilt," and another one was recorded before their singer died. The site is:

1. A Surf Trio update! They put out their best records in the 90's and your coverage here ends in the late 80's.

2. A Sylvain Sylvain update, please

3. Billy Rancher and the Unreal Gods (probably wishful thinking on this one)

4. A Joe Strummer update please, the Mescaleros aren't really dealt with and their best and last album is not cited.

5. Beastie Boys, Paul Westerberg, and Mudhoney could all use updates

6. Rocket From The Tombs

7. Crazy 8's

8. David Johansen update

Thanks

Tubes Burlesque-strange art rock with pub and new wave elements from Britain. White Noise-proto electro punk experimentalists.

Could someone who kept decent tabs on Roy Wood's career please do an entry on him? Boulders was a brilliant album, but I kind of lost track of him after Mustard.

Hey Ira, thanks for the site. I was given The New Trouser Press Record Guide as a gift in 1989. I still use to this day. Discovering this site is a god-send. Thanks again.
But where are...
The Vandals?

Has anybody heard the CD covering the entire Who album, "The Who Sell Out" by a woman named Petra? I haven't heard it, but she apparently recreates all the vocal and instrumetal parts of the original album, in the original arrangements, solely with her vocals overdubbed many times. "The Who Sell Out " is one of my favorite albums. I hope she did a good job on it.

That's Petra Haden from That Dog - a band that seems to have been less than the sum of its parts, since its members are definitely more interesting apart than they ever were together.

From what I've heard from it, her Who Sell Out album is definitely pretty interesting. Townshend is on record as loving it, so that's a good recommendation.

Thanks for the info., breno. I'll probably listen to it. It's too tempting to ignore, even if I don't end up likeing it, just because she made the effort to recreate that album in her own way.

Actually, Petra Haden Sings The Who Sell Out is one of my favorite albums of the year. Taken from an idea given to her by Mike Watt, Haden makes something that should be pretty annoying--anyone remember the Bobs?--into something thoroughly listenable, and reminds you why Sell Out is such an amazing album in the first place.

Denton, TX's Centro-matic have been out-Pavementing Pavement for a good decade now; they have a rich, hallowed discography and deserve a TP entry (or a listen, if you're unfamiliar). And I don't mean to say they sound like Pavement, whom I've come to find tiresome in my (relatively) old age (36).
