The 1001 Albums Challenge # 57: The Dictators – “Go Girl Crazy!”

I had never heard this – well, obviously, that’s the case with all of the albums in this challenge. But I’m glad for the chance. By no means a classic as far as I’m concerned but the energy and spit and fun and mock-snarl of this gets it over the line. It’s a bit New […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 866

V/A, New Wave (1977) I bet this was formative for a lot of people – one of those perfect/imperfect compilations that takes you into a whole new world. Well, it wasn’t for me. But the music on it – most of it – meant a whole lot to me. I just heard it in other […]

PCP Eagles: I Hate The Mall

PCP Eagles I Hate The Mall Rhythmethod This 7-track EP is just 14 minutes long – but I’ve been pretty into it for a while now. Songs about pro-wrestler Ric Flair, songs about Taumaraunui, songs about hating the mall (no surprise there I guess). Songs that reference The Sex Pistols through the riffs, songs that […]
