Jerry Vile, that's goin' back ! I don't have this , or the first volume..Obviously , this was done with the same kind of sarcasm as Snake-Out (Also featured on "It Came FromThe Garage " , as well as The 3 D Invisibles and a then - unknown Gories.) or their myriad offshoots - inc. Artphag , Fuknotz....doing numbers like "I Was a Teenage Goiter" , "Fudgepacker" " (Fuck You , I Ain't ) Ghandi" , "Let's Play Scratch'n'Sniff With Grandpa's Butt" (Actually sung by a group of little kids!) .

 Others that come to mind :   The Fugs: CCD (Coca Cola Douche). ,  Raunch Hands "Spit it on The Floor"(About every man's worst nightmare.) , Cub Koda "Somebody Else (Was Suckin' My Dick Last Night)" , Rolling Stones (W/ Andrew Loog Oldham , Gene Pitney , and Phil Spector.) "Andrew's Blues " ( Filthy ! ) , Screamin' Jay Hawkins "Furburger" , and the comparatively tame "Constipation Blues" , Alice Cooper "Dead Babies"  (In hindsight , an anti - drug and child abuse song.) , "I Love The Dead", "Cold Ethyl" , Mentally Ill "Gacy's Place" , Rotters "Sit on My Face , Stevie Nicks" , "The Rodeo Song" (Covered by a billion artists.) , "Sodomy" (From "Hair". Probably covered by tens of artists.) , Treniers "Poon - Tang" , Troggs "Strange Movies" , "Cousin Jane" (We're talking cousins , not siblings , but , it still has a creepy vibe.) , Prince "Sister"  (NOW , we're talking siblings.) Charlie Daniels "Uneasy Rider Pt. 2"  ( Anti - Gay , Anti Punk Rock , you name it.), Cramps "TV Set" ,  Bessie Davis , is it ? NOT Bessie Smith "SHAVE 'EM DRY" . Recorded in the 30's. So filthy , you might need a bath after listening. Blowfly - "Who Did I Eat Last Night?" , "Show me a Man Who Does'nt Want To Fuck Her..."

Spazz is a derogatory term for someone physically disabled (derived from spastic which, unbelievably was an official term until about 15 yrs ago). Spazz was a common shout in the primary school playground, when we had no idea what it meant!

What does Spazz mean in your country? Just wonderin', 'cause I don't know...

Nobody mentioned the Meatmen, so I'll throw that one out there.

Oh, and this one's fun:

And , Native American , as well . In all cases , it was a symbol of life . Hitler had it altered slightly , and it became a symbol of death. I've heard of a "Reclaim The Swastika" movement , to bring it back to what it originally meant.

I heard that Lydon once said ' We wear them to show that we're obedient members of the British Empire" .

Belsen was exactly that John, Lydon was appalled when the rest of the Pistols re-recorded it with Ronnie Biggs. The swastika was worn by 70s punks in England to shock and not as any political statement. A friend of mine wore one, he was on holiday(Spain I think in 79/80) and was wearing it at dinner, a family were eating their food opposite when the Dad of the family made them spit their food out, my mate realised they were Jewish and had been wrongly given pork. He said that he felt sick and never wore it again, he was wearing it purely as a Pistols fan to look like Sid. Siouxsie wore a lot of swastikas at the time as well although, outside of London, I dont think anybody else really took it up. none of the punks i knew wore it, the gay cowboys t-shirt was the big favourite!

John Battles said:

Johnny , Good ones. Tho' I get the feeling "Belsen" was written with very dry sarcasm as an anti - Nazi /NF song. When Lydon says "JOIN THE ARMY !

Sid got a little TOO into the Swastika bit (Did he ever take that shirt off?), for which he got his ass beat , for wearing said T- Shirt in a Jewish neighborhood. But , while I think Lydon's politics were complex , Sid did'nt really seem to have any. A recent article in "The Chicago Reader" tried to say "Anarchy in The UK" WAS NOT A POLITICAL SONG......HUHN ?!!!!

"Kill The Children, Save The Food" by GG Alin's pure vitriol, but I think it was a sarcastic dig at Live Aid and fashionable causes generally. It's quite Stonesy. I love the Angry Samoans, they're so peurile as well as funny. Listen to the Ballad of Jerry Curlan, which is just pure schoolboy humour. I even wonder why they weren't sued for libel, nor Anal Cunt either?

what are your favourite albums, the ones that every track is good and you can listen to again and again!

It sounds a lot like The Stone Roses.

Has anyone mentioned the late Ros Sereysothea, Pan Ron and Sinn Sisamouth. All three were murdered by the Khmer Rouge, which is more tragic because they were so talented (Ros was very pretty too).

listen to WITCH
(we intend to cause havoc) 70's zambian rock and roll. amazing

or this

check out this guy

You can never hear everything. Period. Even accounting for released material that's yet to be re-discovered, there are literally tons of unreleased reels, acetates etc., still out there. Hot gear turning up all the time! I can't imagine it ever drying up - least, I hope it never does!!!

So i went out and bought the Zoom H1....tried it out the other night and after a few glitches (learning curve in a dark, crowded, noisy club...LOL) the recordings came out really good!!! The band was really loud, but i was able to adjust the input levels such that it recorded near perfect...at least for these old ears.

I'll be trying it out again tomorrow night in a different club, different band and see how it turns out...so far it's a great investment for just over $100!!

http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/h1/

I just saw The Fleshtones 2 nites ago....as always, a KILLER performance by one of my all time fave combos!!! It was their only show for Canada this year, so it was party central at this gig...More pictures on the Radio Whatwave facebook page...

Black Lips have 'Spidey's Curse' catchy little song about Peter Parker.

Ken , wow , this looks great. A bit like Vampirella , when she gets her comeuppance on would - be "She's just a GIRL!" attackers...In the last panel , the Priest looks VERY much like Question Mark. I just saw him two weeks ago , so I remember his visage well. What I could see of it.

Ken said:

Well, and to toot my own horn... Lots of music stuff in my own comic.  Here's  page from my first issue drawn by Michael Neno.  The main character for these stories is a monster hunting "priest" who plays in a rock band and scours seedy bars for creatures of the night.  (I told Michael to borrow from Joey Ramone and Question Mark for the character's general appearance.)

 

Ken , I've got that Marvel  Alice Cooper comic book. It's great ! It's done in an EC Horror / Mad comics style , with similar attention to detail. Gunther Toody and Francis Muldoon from "Car 54 , Where are You" even appear in one panel...   I happen to know the guy who created the "Howlin' Wolf" character you mention , BUT , I scarcely see him , anymore , and I think he'd be glad that someone even knew where he got the name !  Another company did an Alice Cooper comic book tie - in with his low - key return to form CD "The Last Temptation" . OK, "lOST IN aMERICA " WAS'NT SO LOW KEY , WITH THE INCLUSION ON " BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD" , whom Alice said he wrote the song for , anyway.

Ken said:

Alice Cooper had a one shot deal with marvel in the late 70s.

 

There was a great Spider-Man comic in the 80s where he was singing an Elvis Costello song.  I can't remember which one, but I remember as a kid it was the first time I had heard of him.  (Not long afterwards, Mad did a parody of him where they called him Elfish Costello.)

 

Marvel did a REALLY bad character in the 90s who was named after Howlin' Wolf. He... uh... turned into a wolf.

 

It was either the Statics or the 145s that did a song about the Human Torch in the 90s that was really funny.

Wow !!! This is something I've been dreaming of for years too but it seems such a pain in the ass !!!

Man, I mean : running this the right way looks like a full time job...and I guess you must be ready to loose hair, sleep and money !!!

But it must be such a great adventure !!!

By the way, if you're looking for djs or anything... ;)
