MC Lars - The Graduate

The fifth studio album by the great Post-punk Laptop Hip Hopper Mc Lars. Yes, he describes his music as being Post-punk Laptop Rap, which unlike traditional rap music, samples Alternative rock and Punk rock in place of Funk, Soul and Pop. His lyrics often mock real life social events and issues, such as online dating, the decline of hip hop, the commercialisation of alternative cultures and illegal downloading. Plus entirely fictional events such as Moby Dick. Its a great album if your looking for intelligent Hip Hop.

Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone - Dream Home Heartache

It was a collabarative album between the two former Christian Death members, Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone, who were obviously best known for their work with Christian Death, the LA Deathrock (and now Gothic Metal) band who are still active today despite the fact that none of the bands original members are performing with them. Anyways Rozz hung himself on April 1st, 1998 (Rest in Piece) and has had a longlasting legacy in Goth, Punk and Underground circles. Anyways its a great album, which is why I posted it. The title is derived from a Roxy Music song (In Every Dream Home a Heartache) which is infact covered on the album.

Tracklist:

1. In Every Dream Home a Heartache [Roxy Music cover]
2. These Vulnerable Eyes

3. The Pope's Egg Hat

4. Manic Depression [Jimi Hendrix cover]

5. Flowers

6. A World Apart

7. Moon Without a Tear

8. In Every Dream Home a Heartache (Reprise)

All tracks written and performed by Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone, except 1, 4 and 6. Which

Christian Death - Only Theatre of Pain (1997 Reissue)

The 1997 CD reissue of the classic cult album by the great Deathrock band Christian Death. This was Rozz Williams' Christian Death which developed in the mid-80s into Valor Kands Christian Death, which doesn't contain any of the original members and turned into a Gothic Metal band back in the 90s. Valor's Christian Death is still performing if your interested. Any the CD version of Only Theatre of Pain, which I have here, combines the original 1982 album Only Theatre of Hate with the 1984 Deathwish EP. Anyways at one point in the late 80s there were actually 2 bands called Christian Death. Valor Kands band and Rozz's band and there was a dispute over the naming rights. Nowadays there is Valor's band and theres Christian Death 1334 (also known as CD 1334). The later is composed of Christian Death members (withouth Rozz Williams, who died on April 1st, 1998) from the Only Theatre of Pain album.

Tracklist:

1. Cavity - First Communion

2. Figurative Theatre

3. Burnt Offerings

4. Myserium Iniquitatis

5. Dream for Mother

6. Stairs - Unceratain Journey

7. Spiritual Cramp

8. Romeo's Distress

9. Resurrection - Sixth Commandment

10. Prayer

11. Deathwish

12. Romeo's Distress

13. Dogs

14. Desperate Hell

15. Spiritual Cramp

16. Cavity

Tracks 1 - 10 were on the original Only Theatre of Pain, 11 - 16 were from the Deathwish EP.

Rites of Spring - All Through A Life EP

The first, last and only EP by the short lived, influential, yet largely ignored DC Post-Hardcore band Rites of Spring. The band were, along with such bands as Embrace and Fugazi, one of the first bands to be labeled "Emocore" (or "Emo") although like their contemporaries, heavily rejected the label, much like My Chemical Romance does today. The band disbanded just before this EP was released but all the members would reform under the name Happy Go Licky for one year and disband again. This EP was released in May 1987 on Dishord Records and was produced by the great Ian Mackaye. Its now out off print as you can find all the songs on the 1991 compilation album End on End.

Tracklist:

1. All Through a Life

2. Hidden Wheel

3. In Silence/Words Away

4. Patience

All songs written and composed by Rites of Spring.

Recorded at the Inner Ear Studios, January 1986.

The Sisterhood - Giving Ground (Single)

The Sisterhood were a short lived side project of Sisters of Mercy frontman Andrew Eldritch. The project was formed by Eldritch because at the time (1986) Eldritch had become the only remaining member of The Sisters of Mercy from the First and Last and Always era as all the other bandmembers had left, so Eldritch formed the Sisterhood simply to make sure that his ex-bandmates wouldn't make use of the name. Anyway its a good "Gothic rock"/Post-punk single (apologies to Andrew Eldritch for using the "G" word).

Tracklist:

1. Giving Ground (RSV)

2. Giving Ground (AV)

All songs written and composed by Andrew Eldritch, and produced by Eldritch and Lucas Fox.

*note: These two versions of Giving Ground aren't the same as the one on The Sisterhood's only full album Gift.

Sonic Youth - Silver Session for Jason Knuth

Its an album that New York based Alternative/Experimental/Noise/No Wave band Sonic Youth did in 1998, although the album is 29 minutes long, its still viewed as an EP but never mind. The album consists entirely of feedback from the bands guitars, plus the out of sync drum machine here and there, the band dedicated this album to Jason Knuth, a Sonic Youth fan who killed himself. Really good Noise but probably not the most popularily accessable SY album and definetly not a good introduction to SY for a more casual listener.

Tracklist:

1. Silver Panties
2. Silver Breeze
3. Silver Flower
4. Silver Wax Lips
5. Silver Loop
6. Silver Shirt
7. Silver Son
8. Silver Mirror
