For fans of drugs. Or if you're like me. For fans of music that sounds like it was made with drugs.

Great Ytene - Unknowing. iTunes.

LIHC

Just the other day me and my friend were making references to Long Island Hardcore of yesteryear.

I mentioned Milhouse as a personal favorite.

Milhouse - Obscenity In the Milk. Mike. Used.

Newer Sounds

Still undecided on this one.

Grass House - And Now For the Wild. iTunes.

Covers

Do you know who never shied away from a cover? Girls Aloud, that's who.

Girls Aloud - I'll Stand By You. amazon.com. Used.

Newer Sounds

I forgot about this purchase. I'm glad this post prompted a re-listen. Very worth it.

Cantaloupe - Splish/Wet Dog. iTunes.

Zoolander

Mugatu as the keyboard player in Frankie Goes to Hollywood? Never.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax. amazon.com. Used.

Newer Sounds

This trends a little "rockabilly" for my tastes.

Maybe not for yours.

The Amazing Snakeheads - Testifying Time/The Truth Serum. iTunes.

Bandcamp

Catalyst Records has been putting their discography up on Bandcamp. This is a good thing for those of us that are nineties obsessive.

Birthright - Out of Darkness... Generation Records. Used.

Newer Sounds

I can't decide what I think about this. Like, but not wowed. But enough to seek out more.

Austra - Home. iTunes.

Crust

This always felt like such a crusty release.

Spitboy/Los Crudos. Mike. Used.

Newer Sounds

Who knew, Cold Shoulder is also a straight edge band. Thanks last.fm!

Worlds colliding.

Cold Shoulder - Lucifer. iTunes.

Digipak

I like American Standard. But I always felt like they were a strange band to get the Another Planet digipak treatment.

Not that this post is about the digipak release.

American Standard - Piss & Vinegar. Generation Records. Used.

When posting I sometimes need to go back and give some of these new purchases a second listen to remind me what they sound like.

Generally that's a pretty good indication it didn't grab me the first time.

Sometimes they grab me on that second listen.

This one isn't grabbing me now. Or then.

T.W.I.N.S. - Found a Flat/Ride the Horsey. iTunes.
