ONE FELL SWOOP - Two Cannonball Dinner

Rounding out the "balls" trilogy today ,we have an album from 12/3/1991 ,from the underground losers ,One Fell Swoop. This is the pinnacle of albums dedicated to the downtrodden ,homeless,drunk ,junkie ,loser ,in all of us. Even the song titles spell it out. I did notice that all 9 songs are titled with three word phrases. Starting off with an almost 13 minute instrumental jam ,"We Haven't Smoked" , (although it does sound like we did ,in fact ,smoke!) ,and a sound that will knock your drunk ass to the couch ,so's you can listen and enjoy the rest."Real Hobo Smell" ,a tale of being a bum ,a tramp ,a hobo ,"Cough Syrup Summer" ,cuz it's a cheap buzz , "Burned Out Believers" ,for the beat-down by religion losers ,"Geez , Naw , Thud" ,a dreamer's soliloquy ,also include in the live set list of the band ,"Pot So Smart" ,for the pot heads who can't get jobs because of piss tests , "The Wheezing Monument" ,for the elderly who don't wanna go into a home ,or have their car taken away ,"Frozen Hamburger Shower" ,for the junk food we must eat to survive ,and ending off with ,"Rubber Dollar Bill" ,for everyone who's ever been fast-talked or scammed! The music is cohesive with a bluesy bent.As always ,we switch vocal/drum/guitar duties frequently. Really great band ,with another winner of an album about losers!

ONE FELL SWOOP - A Little Terrycloth Number

The under-rated,underground,outsider ,cult-band ,spawned from the fumes of Cat Machine ,recorded this ,their 22nd (!) album ,on Nov.21 ,1991. I don't recall how the album got it's title ,but a few songs on this one ,resemble the Birthday Party ,lyrically,musically ,and vocally! I'm talking specifically about the tunes, "Shirt Stuck" , "Drag Yard" , and "Blasted Gallows" , the titles of which even resemble something that would spew from the mind of Nick Cave. There are some really good songs on here,these guys shoulda made a record!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Pee-Yew !

This is the 999th post on this blog!Recorded on 11/9/1991 ,another 10 slabs of sonic college rock sounds! Some real weird moments here ,especially on , "And Up And Down And" ,and "Doe Sto No" ,amongst others.Some of the titles allude to what we were up to ,"Ozone Paper" and"Slathery Slatherer" ,should clue you in. Zone out and get in the zone ,if that makes sense!

ONE FELL SWOOP - The Lungs Have Eyes

The 14th (!) release from this unheard,underground,outsider,cult-band ,who picked up where Cat Machine left off! This is one of my personal favorites from OFS ,with really good songs ,and a cover of "Night Of The Living Baseheads" ,by Public Enemy! A dog named,"Catfish" ,(the song has a weird breakdown in the middle ,with mechanical sounds and some sort of horn),"Mall Music", and "A Metal Thing" ,in which Gramps arrives at the end of the tune ,to talk/inquire about, "a metal thing". I mean this thing is great from start to finish,I really do enjoy it,and so should you. A good starting point ,for those not yet in the know! The album title relates to weed ,in some way! Recorded 10/22/1991, 20 years ago today!

CAT MACHINE - Teen-age Pez-head Punk Rock Spies

One of the most cohesive studio efforts,by the most under-rated,undiscovered,underground,outsider ,cult-bands of all time.Recorded on 4/2/1991,with Ed,Tony,Joel,and Chipmonk,this one has the hits!!Their 39th release ,features the college rock radio hit ,"When The Ape Man Smiles", which ,thru Chipmonk's contacts,managed to garner an audience,when it was played on several college campus radio stations,across the nation,most notably in Wisconsin.Other great compositions here ,include ,"All In The Family" , "Alcoholic Funk" ,and "Backstab" ,all sung by Joel. Chipmonk vocalizes on ,"Lunchbox Sabotage",and "Fly High Flyers" ,while Ed yells on ,"Spontaneously Combusting" , "My Mom's A Facist" and "The Things To Come.And Tony ,besides singing lead on "Ape Man" also kicks in with his crooning on "Gettin' Bent (Big Dead Ass).This is seriously really good! If you haven't heard anything from this year-long series yet ,I would suggest you might start here.This really shows their true talent of getting wasted,and banging out world class punk songs! The title was later appropriated by Sexboy ,for a song title .

CAT MACHINE - Slop Maintenance

Release # 38 from the greatest undiscovered,underground,outsider,cult-band,from Ft. Myers,FL , 3/30/1991.Ed,Joel,and Chipmonk,are here ,in full force,and Tony showed up for a few songs.One of their finest moments is here("Who Threw The Glass In The Street?"),based on a movie script ,from a Bob Dylan film.10 tunes,recorded in the 4-track studio.The quantity of songs is lower,the quality higher!This was a fertile creative period for the band,owing much to the recording techniques. The picture above,was stuck on the old Flying-V ,on the back,came from a trash can,and reminded me of Mel (Mel's Diner)from the TV show ,"Alice".

CAT MACHINE -Wrong Drug Right Time

There are a few true -story songs on here,most notably,"Paul Kline" ,and a song tied in with his ordeal ,"Baker Act".Paul was a school chum of mine,who killed a few people,after graduating high school.Weird titles and tunes abound ,such as:"Sok On A Fork"(a re-make of a tune from "Unplugged"),"Pathological Intoxication" ,"Wide Spectre" ,"Sniff The Clipper" ,"Violins Fucking Horns","Blowing Up Beatlemania","Sleeping In The Ashtray",and more!

CAT MACHINE - God's Afterbirth

More from the greatest underground,undiscovered,outsider,cult-band.Everyone who is on this tape ,was tripping balls on some killer blotter,on this day ,2/23/1991.Ed,Tony,Joel,Chipmonk,and Billy Drake,were the band,and this one's a real doozy!!Recorded ,as usual,1-2-3-go! style,straight into a boom box,in Joel's room at Cat Machine house!!I would say you should imbibe some sort of intoxicants,to get full enjoyment from this recording.Some really great songs,crazy lyrics,insane playing,and the acid factor,all add up to a mountain of madness,and fun.Good times,none of us will probably ever get the chance to re-live,except through the magic of this tape.One of the eclectic band's greatest achievments,in their entire catalog! Highly (huh-huh) recommended.

CAT MACHINE -Vanilla Cave

Despite the cover art,there are no Nick Cave,or Birthday Party covers ,on this tape.There is an obligatory Fall number,and the special guest was Chris "Ashey"MacDonald.It was Ashey's debut as a singer,years before he sang for August Spies.I believe he also did some instrumentation.A really good,loud,punk rock,fun time, is in this download,their 27th full length!I can't say enough about Ashey,he's one of my favorite people in this world of shit and more shit!The world's greatest underground,outsider,cult-band,to ever change their pants!Ed,Joel,Tony,and Chipmonk,powered this one out on 2/19/1991, 20 years ago today!Time fucking flies!

CAT MACHINE -Tooth Breath Spewdom Not Sneeze

Don't know about that title,but the music is fine!Ed,Joel,Tony,Chipmonk,and special guests,Shane Carwile,and Billy Drake,on 2/16/1991,in the FTM.Really good tunes here include: "Song For Billy To Sing", "Song For Billy To Sing Again",(Billy never actually sings,or utters a word for that matter,on either of these tracks) ,"Gettin' The Gumption" ,"Suicidal Ballerina Blues" , "The Strangled Penguin's Chrome Glider Dream" , "Accidental Toaster","90 Cups Of Coffee An Hour",and "Cowering Spastics".The whole thing is great altogether,I'm just pointing out some highlights,or lowlights,as the case may be.The 26th release from this obtuse,outsider,unknown,undiscovered,cult-band,from Ft.Myers,Florida,80's thru 90's.Keep following their path to eventual destruction,in the rest of this year-long series,more coming soon!

CAT MACHINE -Felching Pat Harrington Jr.

Just try to come up with a more disgusting thought,than the title of this album.I included 2 different cover arts,cuz I could'nt decide on one.This tape ,from January 15th,1991,features special guests ,Chuck Connell,Vance Burdge,Chris Nicholson (R.I.P.),and Pizza Breath,in addition to the core trio of Ed,Tony, and Joel.Chuck has his own little section here,with ,"Chuck's Corner",and Chris sing/talks on ,"Shrimp Circus" , and "Fizz Fazz(Sausage)".A few spoken pieces,with all of us talking,and some rap/hip-hop on ,"Battle Of The Rock Lords",and the debut of "Cat Machine Is In The Haus".Covers of Ramones and Jefferson Bullshit,at end.,I would'nt download it tho',because this underground,outsider,unknown,cult-band,is one of the worst bands that ever played.And I mean best when I say worst.Recorded straight to boombox,in FT.Myers,FL,at Cat Machine House.
