Man, the Butthole Surfers are one of my favorite bands. I love the Butthole Surfers a lot. I don't want to get into this and come off like some little schoolgirl with a crush, so you just have to trust me. The Butthole Surfers are great and I probably wouldn't like you that much if you don't agree. And now, with that out of the way, here is a Butthole Surfers bootleg...

" A "best of the boots" collection put together by fans, it offers a mix of studio demos and live recordings, as well as a portion of a radio interview. The band liked the compilation enough that they reissued it through Trance Syndicate in 1995, also packaging a Butthole Surfers sticker along with it.

The two demos, "Butthole Surfer" and "Something," were recorded in 1983. Of the live tracks, four were taped in 1985, three in 1986, two in 1988, one each in 1989 and 1991, and three in 1993.

The interview was taped at New York, NY station WNYU on July 28, 1987. All members from that time period are present, including Gibby Haynes, Paul Leary, King Coffey, Teresa Nervosa, and Jeff Pinkus."

R.I.P. Roland S. Howard!
In honor of his life in music, here is my favorite work of his (aside from The Birthday Party of course). It is a collaboration with Lydia Lunch

In this upload I've also included a live album that is the same songs but in different order and of course not recorded in a studio.

Sabbath Dubs is the guy from Venetian Snares doing two dub versions of the Black Sabbath songs "Black Sabbath" and "Electric Funeral". Good shit. Everyone loves Venetian Snares. At least give it one listen.

40's!

Here is a collection of love songs to remind you of your sweetheart while he's away in the trenches of Germany. You'll find yourself humming along to Frank Sinatra while on the way to buy war bonds and belting out that new Ella Fitzgerald single when you're walking to the factory (sure you're a housewife but in these times we've all got to chip in! If Rosie can do it than so you can you!) Then when he finally comes home you two can sit around your fancy new phonograph player together and smile at the wonderful tunes that once made you somber. If he comes home that is. Happy wartime!

Well I posted an album of songs from the 1920's in my last post and now the obvious progression would be the next decade. So here's some Guy Lombardo from the 1930's. "Enjoy Yourself" as Guy would say. Because what was a more fun decade than the 1930's? Movies finally had color and sound so you could enjoy films like The Wizard of Oz and Walt Disney's animations in their full beauty, Steinbeck, Huxley, and Faulkner all had works that are now considered classics published, stamp collecting became hot, swing got hip, scotch tape was invented, the Nazi Party came to power, the Great Depression devastated almost the entire world, war was on everyone's mind as there were 5 of them raging on, and so on.
See? Fun. Now everyone enjoy yourself.
