M.C. OSSO - Umbra Penumbra

This rarity has been asking to be uploaded forever! Look it up on the web ,you won't find any info on this record or M.C. Osso ,anywhere! Great revved-up (sometimes) ,and mellowed-out blues songs ,with a folky bent on some tracks. There is some harmonica and bongos here,and M.C. is backed up by Tio Frijol & The Soul Casserole (Tierra Del Fuego's finest!) ,and you'll also hear some flute,sax,piano ,and organ in addition to Mr. Osso's fine guitar jams!From 1974 ,recorded in New York ,on Axe Records(a division of Hardedge ,Inc.) ,and with that record company name and logo(see lower corner of album cover) ,you'd be expecting some metal or in my case some Mentors!But ,alas ,it is not to be ,this is just some jukin' blues that everyone should hear.The really downtrodden stuff comes on tracks like ,"Chances For Survival" ,and "Executioners". There's even a song that should have been featured on a movie soundtrack from recent times ,"Superbad Blues" ! I could definitely see (and hear) Dylan Houser ,settling into this sound as he grows older with his Bloodponies project.Pretty neat-o stuff ,and rare ,apparently!

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 - She-Ass

Some of the best songs we ever did are on this tape! The blues influence really sets in on this one. With tunes like ,"Cut Me In Again" , "Wallet Baby" , "Crazy Women Lie" , and the #1 hit , "Red Letter Day" , amongst others, we truly hit our stride.I wrote these by playing old blues tapes ,and hearing them on the other side of the house,thru several walls,trying to decipher the old bluesman's words. One dozen soon-to-be classics of the alt-rock persuasion ,and the end piece freak-out ,"Life To Our Enemies" ,is a sonic blowout! I couldn't decide on the cover art ,so you get 2! Enjoy!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Smoking Mom's Horrible Thin Twigs

From 10/17/1991 ,20 years ago,today! The title is taken from what Chipmonk told us ,about not being able to afford cigarettes. He had gotten into a mess by stealing his mom's car for a drug-fueled joyride,and wrecking it,and he was basically paying off his debt to his mom. The album of tunes here ,reflect that downtrodden blues feeling ,of being without the basic necessities.A song title also spells out more of Chipmonk's frailties and foibles ,"Oh The Hair,I Cut All My Hair Off (And Lost My Wallet!)". There is also a Sly & The Family Stone cover song ,"Thank You Falletinme Be Mice Elf ,Again" , which Chipmonk sings and plays in the college-rock stylee. A sad day in the history of OFS. p.s. - Kunga Sludge only got 3 downloads! What's up? It's a good one! Sid Caesar was a smoker!
