Records

New Arrivals

IMG_8139
picked up Earl Scruggs: Dueling Banjos, Fred Blassie: Pencil Neck Geek, supposedly Hank Williams earliest recordings, a first edition copy of Loaded (if anyone out there doesn't own this record you really should, the word "foundational" doesn't do it justice), a Flying Burrito Brothers album (not a great one, but still), and a Redd Kross record.

I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the Redd Kross and I don't know much about them beyond the fact that I love the song Linda Blair.


Now let's take a closer look at this Fred Blassie record as I am a sucker for wrestling personalities, and this little item is gold.

"you can scream, punch, puke, and pogo till your ass falls off, but you'll never be BLASSIE.

I originally convinced B. to buy it as a gift for her brother since I knew he'd love it, but after seeing how sweet it is I am so keeping it. Sorry James.

That Red Kross record is absolutely killer! They have a great track on the "Hell Comes to Your House" comp too - they cover "Puss and Boots" by the New York Dolls. Good purchas man!

if you're a sucker for musical wrestling personalities you ought to get into the Dictators. Handsome Dick Manitoba is quite the character.
