okay lets start with you mike.

Halo Benders - "God Don't Make No Junk": first off the name of this band really caught my eye when i was in store last night/an hour ago. and it's steve fisk produced. the halo benders to me are indie garage rock but from the early 90's subpop years. calvin johnsons voice and the tight fucking drums on "Dont Touch My Bikini" make my lip curl. the guitars make me wanna drive a big black 1983 Ford Crown Victoria LTD around town in a black suit in the summertime cruising for "chicks". i love this album thank you.

GZA - "Liquid Swords": i really love this album. it's the best straight forward rap album. it makes me feel like going to war. my favourite track is "4th Chamber". it's a great full on Wu track that features in my opinion the best of the Wu and at about 1:18 the synth drives the awesome feeling of the song, especially the lyrics in RZA's verses:

"...camoflouge chameleon, ninjas scalin your buildin
No time to grab the gun they already got your wife and children
A hit was sent, from the President, to rage your residence
Because you had secret evidence, and documents
On how they raped the continents, and it's the prominent
dominant Islamic, Asiatic black hebrew
The year two thousand and two, the battle's filled with the Wu
Six million devils just died from the Bubonic Flu
Or the Ebola Virus, under the reign of King Cyrus
You can see the weakness of a man right through his iris"

black nationalism = the best rap ever and you can fucking quote me on it.

Wu-Tang Clan - "Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)": not my favourite. seriously. "the W" is better in my opinion, specifically on "Wu-Revolution" which is basically an explaination of 5%nationalism, and maybe even "Wu-Tang Forever" because it has my favourite Wu track "Triumph". People say that "36 chambers" is the definitive Wu masterpiece but not in my opinion.

Green Day - "Kerplunk": this is the "official corey green day album". "One Of My Lies" is my favourite track from this album. it speaks directly to me personally. the corey keep for myself and no one else. it also has "Welcome To Paradise" the catchiest fucking song ever [maybe i exaggerate]. i wish i knew this album when i was a teenager. how old were these guys then? i love the whole thing.

MC5 - "Kick Out The Jams: who fucking records their debut album as a live album? MC fucking 5 does. they were good and they fucking knew it. detroit punk done right, the first time. I can't listen to this album without rocking out. not only that i love being intrduced to bands with their live albums so this really hits the spot for me, even the quieter tracks. if i were alive then i would probably be stomping hippies to this music. the title track says it all when Rob Tyner screams "MOTHERFUCKER!".

Shellac - "100 Hurts": i love this album. time dosen't heal all wounds. this album pours salt in
your fucking broken heart and says "live in this pain. know it, learn from it." "Prayer to God" is the greatest track ever and i have listened to it over and over in the last few months since you gave it to me. That is hurt, pain and revenge. I love it and it's so fucking easy to play. I like it so much i am posting the lyrics:

"To the one true God above:
here is my prayer -
not the first you've heard, but the first I wrote.
(not the first, but the others were a long time ago).
There are two people here, and I want you to kill them.

Her - she can go quietly, by disease or a blow
to the base of her neck,
where her necklaces close,
where her garments come together,
where I used to lay my face...
That's where you oughta kill her,
in that particular place.

Him - just fucking kill him, I don't care if it hurts.
Yes I do, I want it to,
fucking kill him but first
make him cry like a woman,
(no particular woman),
let him hold out, hold back
(someone or other might come and fucking kill him).

Fucking kill him.
Kill him already, kill him.
Fucking kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him already, kill him...etc.

Amen."

now that's anger. driven, direct, and without fear of consequence.

The Undertones - "The Undertones": you have to get me this as i dont have it.

It is difficult to conquer what I affectionately refer to as "The Fucking Kill Him Song". The only trouble is that if it's in one's head at work, there really aren't very many inoffensive lyrics that one can just sing absently in front of the customers.

Shellac played at Rhino's a few years ago. It was a very silly thing.
