Lácteos - Todo

one of the most important bands that emerged from the streets of Puerto Rico. we grew up on this shit and most of us got inspired by these guys and many others to start playing music then and there. now you can have their whole entire catalog by just a click of a button.

CLICK IT MOTHERFUCKER!

Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge was the sleazy French dude who wrote hit songs about blowjobs and about banging his daughter, i.e, the chick from the shitty Gondry movie Science of Sleep. He also told Whitney Houston he wanted to fuck her on live television. Calling him outspoken is an understatement.

Here he makes an album about accidentally hitting a teenage nymphomaniac with his car, fucking her in a hotel, then celebrating her death in a plane crash because their love will be preserved forever. Seriously that's what it's about. At least that's what I read since I don't speak French.

It's also a masterpiece.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica (1969)

beeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnssssssssssss!!!!

Campo-Formio interview.

"Entrevista a Campo-Formio
Por: Lorraine Rodríguez Pagán

"... Música corrosiva con sonido crudo, pero refrescante ..." Eso es precisamente lo que los integrantes de Campo-Formio quieren transmitir a través de sus composiciones musicales, y a mi entender, cumplen su propósito. Esta banda, que aunque es poco el tiempo que lleva presentándose, contagia con mucha energía y comunica una presencia escenénica que muy pocas agrupaciones musicales de hoy tienen."

These fuckers are stirring shit up, play close attention.

Meat Puppets - up on the Sun.

One of my favorites. This album takes me back to other times.

"What does a band do when they're trying to follow-up a masterpiece? Release another masterpiece, of course. That's exactly what the Meat Puppets did with 1985's Up on the Sun. Issued one year after Meat Puppets II, the songwriting had become more focused, the performances were tighter, and Curt Kirkwood's vocals had progressed from a high-pitched warbling to a soothing monotone. Up on the Sun catches the Arizona trio in a relaxed mood, for the most part; the tunes aren't wound up as tightly as its predecessor, with the album-opening title track, the instrumental "Seal Whales," and "Hot Pink" being fine examples."

Suns to lift up in between
They told some stories like you've never seen

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Darklands (1987)

MMMmmmmmMmmmmm bitch!

"Back in the 80's, the Jesus & Mary Chain blasted onto the scene with Psychocandy, an aural assault of fever-drenched guitars, spare lyrics, and a knack for crafting catchy, hook-ladened anti-pop. 1987, the JMC released Darklands, to the cowsternation of some and the warm embrace of many udders. Some original JMC fans decried the "cleaned up sound" of Darklands, but in truth the pared down accoustics in this masterpiece merely pushed the Chain's drenching wall of feedback into the background, allowing the Brothers Reid to focus on moore traditional melodies."

Radio Birdman - Radios Appear (1977)

FUCKING AMAZING ALBUM! This band just fucking rocks. Deniz Tek's guitar work really inspired and influenced me as a guitarist. Get this NOW!

"Early Australian punk band Radio Birdman formed in 1974 and began recording in 1976 when the single ”Burn My Eye” was released. They took their name from a misheard lyric in Stooges song, ”1970”. (The actual line is “Radio burnin’”) Their first LP, Radios Appear, showed diverse influences, including Detroit bands of the late 1960s, such as The MC5 and The Stooges. The album was totally ignored by commercial radio but was championed by Sydney station 2JJ (Double Jay) and became sufficiently successful in Australia to lead to a contract with Sire Records (US label, home of The Ramones), who released a different version of Radios Appear internationally. It took three years to record a follow-up, Living Eyes, and by then, the Australian punk scene had diversified and the band broke up before the LP was released.

The band’s lyrics reference US-born guitarist/main songwriter Deniz Tek’s home state of Michigan, with lyrics from tracks such as “Murder City Nights” referring to Woodward Avenue in Detroit:

“Cruising down Woodward gotta find me some action/Looking for a lover with a power reaction.”

Many of their other songs, such as “Hand Of Law” & “Descent Into The Maelstrom” deal in apocalyptic images of war and violence, but these are more than balanced by the lighter pop culture references of tunes such as “Aloha Steve & Danno”, an ode to the TV show Hawaii 5-0."

Great band directly out of the NYC streets. Have a good listen. Great ideas on these instrumental tunes.

Uuuuuuuuuuuui!

Richard LLoyd - Alchemy (1979)

this isn't earth-shattering but it's a worthy listen for Television fans.

Frank Zappa - Roxy and Elsewhere (1974)

So I have this memory of being wasted out of my mind on magic shrooms and listening to this album with my buddies Javi and Marisa wondering whether or not I had BBQ sauce inside my sneakers. That was my introduction to the wonderful musical world of Zappa and I may never forget it. Frank Zappa needs no introduction and this album (among many others) is a testament as to why. Released in 1974, this live album features Frank Zappa & the Mothers in one of their most acclaimed incarnations performing tracks which remained unreleased on any other Zappa album. Features highly complex instrumental sections with challenging synchronization among the musicians and their respective instruments. These guys speak in another language. You'll wonder how the fuck they managed to pull off these dazzling arrangements. A great Zappa experience nobody should miss out on.
