NOISEKILLR - Shit : A Survival Guide - NOISEKILLR 40,MVMT 21


 
Lightly effected acoustic guitar,instrumental songs some with drum machine,one with vocals (a Flipper cover??!!?) It's a soundtrack to a future I remembered in a dream,so I woke up and recorded it on January 20,just yesterday....A nice somewhat mellow change up from a usually much louder and noisier project...... don't worry,it's not the norm,yet still as experimental as fuk!!   https://noisekillr1.bandcamp.com/album/noisekillr-shit-a-survival-guide-noisekillr-40-mvmt-21

JAYDEN MONT / BLOOD RED OSCARS - split "Too Hot For Radio!!"

 this is a split by Blood Red Oscars in Florida,and Jayden Mont ,in Pennsylvania...I dont know how to describe it,other than to say it is outsider musical genius,and a shot of tardcore stupidity...nothing wrong with that at all...... Jayden did the front cover art,and his songs are mostly instrumentals...the Blood Red Oscars,tone down the language and subject matter,since Jayden is a young tenager,and Satan Peabody didnt want any angry parents after him! He found me thru Food Fortunata ,who had already done two splits with him,and Food said he was an okay kid! Gray Meatballs did the back cover artwork (kill some of 'em.... all!) ,typesetting,and editing.


a split between a youth from PA. and an elderly man in FL.Jayden Mont has been making music for years now,and is quite professional,and Blood Red Oscars have been making dumb songs for decades now ,and these may be some of their stupidest songs yet!!

credits

released March 13, 2025

Jayden Mont:all instruments and vocals,tracks 1-12
Satan Peabody: all instruments and vocals, tracks 13-22
go here and give a kid 3 bucks,c'mon you heartless bastards!!

Groovy Instrumentals For The Hip At Heart - An Instrumental 80's Mixtape ,1980-1986



 
This mixtape was made and given to me by an artist/teacher friend of mine ,Leo Johnson,back in 1986.Nostalgic harpings for the past,and memories of that which once was,will all come rushing back in this fantastic compilation.This is all straight from Leo's extensive vinyl collection.Every closet,crevice and hidden free space was filled to the brim with records of all types.He frequently made overseas trips ,and would always bring back a vinyl haul.THERE ARE NO VOCALS ON THESE SONGS,THEY ARE ALL INSTRUMENTALS!Goes to show,you don't need vocals ,to create feelings or moods,this has a total feeling of the times in which it was recorded.Also this tape is 32 years of age,so it may have sound issues,but nothing that will distract you from deriving pleasure from it.In any case I will now do you the service of walking thru this listening experience,either for or with you,so without further ado:

1.Matt Johnson-"Red Cinders In The Sand" - 1981 -4AD ,as a solo album under his own name ,re-released in 1993 as The The -"Burning Blue Soul",also on 4AD. The song is sparse and tribal,lots of drum sounds definitely off to a weird start.The exact same recording,full LP was retitled as "The The",and re-released in 1993,maybe it was 10 years ahead of it's time on the first go-round?,You tell me.
2.Dif Juz - "re" -1981 -4AD -from the "Huremics" e.p. .There are a couple more cuts but not the complete four tracks from this obtuse instrumental band,with weird 2 letter titles,on this compilation ,and I will refer back to this track number (2) in further listings of this band.This track reminds me of early PIL music,the dreamy,bassy sound,and also any number of other alt bands,Flamin Groovies,maybe,Gang Of Four? No I hear PIL on this here track,what says you?
3.Chris And Cosey - "Heartbeat" -1981 -Rough Trade ,Title track from their first LP "Heartbeat",very electronic,maybe even video-gamey,dance music for robots,still sounds dated and futuristic at the same time,almost early Human League-ish.Much different than their previous band,Throbbing Gristle.
4.Zerra 1 - "Saoirse I Do Cheann"1984 - Mercury Records - from the "Ten Thousand Voices/Message From The Peoples" 12" single ,an Irish band the song title translates in english to ,"Freedom In Your Head",and has an electronic tribal/jungle drum beat,and a panflute hook that is reminiscent of the theme from "Mission Impossible".Kinda ambient in your head stuff.
5.The Monochrome Set - "Andiamo" -1984 -Blanco Y Negro ,from the "Jacob's Ladder" 12" single,B-side.This is a rather surfy one,with tropical steel guitar zooming in and out,a poppy beat,and a beachy feel.They are featured a few more times on this mixtape,stay tuned.
6.The Smiths - "Oscillate Wildly" - 1985 - Rough Trade ,B side to the "Headmaster Ritual" 12" single ,pretty much a piano-driven instrumental ,with Johnny Marr's ,dreamy ,jangly chords,and a cello,along with the Smiths rhythm section ,no Morrisey to whine on this here one,but I'd like to hear what he would've spit on that!
7.Love And Rockets - "Saudade" -1985 -Beggars Banquet ,last track from their debut LP,"Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven",starts out with the same chordage as "Here Comes The Sun",by the Beatles,and a beat like a boat slapping against a dock,until it eventually morphs into movie soundtrack madness.Very atmospheric,and you hardly notice the shift ,til' after it's happened.
8.New Order - "Thieves Like Us" - 1984 -Factory , title track from a 12" single ,this song is heard on the soundtrack to "Pretty In Pink" as well.Sounds cool enough for the 80's ,effected guitars,keyboard riffs,bells,slap-bass,electronic drums,synthy as hell! I will refer back to this track number,when they pop back up again later in this tape.
9.Cocteau Twins - "Rococo" -1984 - 4AD - from the "Aikea Guinea" 12" single ,sounds mellow ,acoustic guitar with electronic keys/drum ,accompaniment,until the guitar and the drums/bass kick in for a tour de force,grungey sounding riff,not so far removed from stuff that came 10 years later out of Seattle.Kinda repetitive,but definitely time traveling in your mind.
10.The Monochrome Set -  "March Of The Eligible Bachelors" -1982-  Cherry Red,from the "Eligible Bachelors" LP,this one has a spacey ,theremin-like, keyboard,jangly guitar riff like REM or the Feelies,a surfy beat and bouncy bass,almost has a western desert feel with the guitar twang,and ends with the sound of an angry crowd.
11.The Pogues - "Wildcats of Kilkenny" - 1985- Stiff Records,from their 2nd LP,"Rum Sodomy,and The Lash" ,this one starts with the sound of cats ,and surfy/jangly 80's guitars,and a tribal beat,some pipes,pipe in,about halfway thru,almost doing the commercial jingle for "Irish Spring" soap,and picked mandolins,guitars,bassline,more cat screeches,definitely a very busy track,lively and jig-worthy!
12.The Smiths - "The Draize Train" -1986 - Rough Trade,from the B-side of the "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others"12" single,also had "Frankly,Mr. Shankly" ,this is as close to disco as the Smiths ever got ,with a disco bass/drums/keyboard combo,Johnny Marr with his signature chordage,and some solos reminiscent of "rock" bands,weird track from them,definitely sounds like something from a film soundtrack.
13.The Monochrome Set - "Yo Ho Ho and Three Bottles Of Rum" - 1984 -Blanco Y Negro - from the "Jacob's Ladder" 12" single ,this is a dreamy slow surfy number,brings back that 80's feeling,it's just of it's time,although I can definitely hear the lineage from 60's surf instrumentals thru their filter.Nice and soft.
14.Dif Juz - "hu" - 1981 - 4AD -,from the "Huremics" 12" (see track 2),this one starts out with some sort of muffled loudspeaker announcement ,and then dives right into a driving riff,plodding bass line,urgent drums,and a one-note solo.cool.
15.New Order - "Murder" -1984 -Factory ,from the "Thieves Like Us" 12" single (see track 8),this one has a repetitive guitar line,a heavy bass,a driving beat ,and some weird sample of a guy yelling in the middle that drifts into an almost ghostly drifting ,far-off,underwater voice,not vocals,but musical sounds,and more of some guy talking throughout,still an instrumental,with samples.
16.Phil Manzanera - "Lagrima" - 1986 -EG Records ,from the "Guitarissimo" LP,this is spanish guitar sound,with a clavinet? perhaps,so ,sounds like something from a western movie,you can almost feel the dust in the air as you tip your cowboy hat back ,and draw your pistol.Very unlike his work in Roxy Music in the 70's.Very moody
17.Bow Wow Wow - "Orang Outang" - 1981 -RCA -from the B-side of the "Mickey,Put It Down" 12" single ,very surfy guitars,almost spanish,twangy,and western,all at once.The standard Bow Wow Wow rhythm section work,and no Annabella Lwin ,to make my dreams come true!
18.Simple Minds - "Film Theme Dub" - 1980 -Arista ,from the "I Travel" 7" single,long before the "Breakfast Club",and "Don't You (Forget About Me)" ,"Alive And Kicking" ,these guys were experimenting with their sound,trying to find their way.This is slow paced and atmospheric,and lives up to it's title.Reminds me of some demented Alice Cooper riff ,from "Welcome To My Nightmare".
19.Chris and Cosey - "Just Like Us" - 1981 - Rough Trade ,from their debut LP ,"Heartbeat" ,this one again reminds me of early Human League,has vocal samples throughout,like Throbbing Gristle without all the industrial flairs.Electronic madness.
20.Dif Juz - "cs" - 1981 -4AD -from the "Huremics" 12" single (see track 2),this one sounds like a mellower Gang Of Four,kinda militaristic,marchy,jangly,Weird voice samples,somebody says something at the endI think this band is pretty great!
21.The Monochrome Set - "Puerto Rican Fence Climber" - 1980 - Dindisc/Virgin ,this one ,from their "Strange Boutique" LP ,is a classic piece of 80's nostalgia.A great jangly band.Surf elements are again present,lots of bands that followed ,owe them a debt of gratitude.Great middle-eastern style surf breakdown solo in the middle.
22.Tones On Tail - "Instrumental" - 1982 -4AD - from their debut 12"ep,this is an atmospheric one,with orchestration and the standard 80's jangly guitar line,a walking bass line,keys,almost Bowie-like acoustic guitar breakdown in the middle bridge.
23.Human League - "Gordon's Gin" - 1981 - Virgin -from their 2nd LP ,"Travelogue" ,this is classic Human League sound,mid-era,before the girls,and the MTV,they finally showed up on this mixtape after me comparing other bands to them,I think now you can see that my comparisons were correct!I pretty much love all the early Human League stuff,I think it's swell,still futuristic ,to me,I imagine people of the future ,in outer space,will listen to this sort of thing.
24.Cabaret Voltaire - "Sluggin' Fer Jesus" - 1981 -Rough Trade ,from their "3 Crepuscle Tracks" 12" single ,this is an edited version of the track,has voice samples of a guy on a loudspeaker,a sequencer keeping the beat,and subtle nuances of keyboards and synths.A nice way to end this tape ,as it began,strangely!

WHORESHACK - LIVE! AT THE MAIN STREET COFFEE HOUSE ,FT. MYERS ,FLORIDA





The first and last ever ,live gig by Whoreshack. We were third choice openers since the band Deadbone ,who was originally scheduled to open ,had their drummer die on them ,the second choice opening band ,Turd Thermos ,were all school kids ,who could'nt play because they got caught skipping school ,and most of the band was grounded. So we opened for Conveyor and Big Bong Theory ,thoroughly trashing the audience with our huge cocks!We were a hard act to follow ,baiting the audience with an almost Fear-like venom!A few covers ,mixed in with all original improv instrumentals ,and the hit song ,"Not Come Down". There was fun in the air ,as it was Labor Day Weekend 1993 ,and the boys were crankin' out this slop ,to an undeserving audience.Fuck them! Now you can experience the madness ,without actually having to stand in a room full of slackers,losers,and smelly crust punks and dead heads!This is the shit! Vance played drums ,since original drummer,Mike Smith, was home sleeping!

WHORESHACK - s/t debut



In light of the recent passing of Ron Palillo ,a/k/a Horshack ,I am posting the last few Whoreshack releases. This is the debut tape ,recorded live at The Bakery ,March 13,1993. Ed handles guitar and vocals,Billy on guitar,and Mike on drums.Mostly experimental instrumentals ,Whoreshack was the local version of the Ventures (if they were raised on punk rock ,and started their group in the 1990's)I've posted all the tapes ,backwards to forwards ,from the 6th release ,to this first one here.The post above this ,is actually the final recording ,of their first ever ,and last ever ,live gig ,recorded after the 6th release (The Zipper) ,and with Vance on drums ,in lieu of Mike. But more on that later. This is an amazing start ,to a short -lived band ,which never really got their due,in the time of their existence. I can't really say too much more ,except , let the music do the talking!

FILSUFATIA - Melancholia , A Burden Too Much To Bear

The latest from Deep ,the one-man black metal force from Malaysia! More of his trademarked melancholy ,atmospheric ,suicidal black metal instrumentals , alternately filling a void left by recent USBM artists who have sadly decided,(or have been forced) to end their long-running projects ,for one reason or another. This should make good work of your mourning of days,and bands, gone by.

BLACK FOREST RAPE - Schwarzer Waldraub



The second phenomenal release from this up-and-coming ,almost indescribable band! Recorded in their hometown of Calw, in the Black Forest region of Germany. My pal over there ,Hans , he of the band Tyrantyr ,and master compiler of the Black Metal Cult series. His cousin provides the percussion ,a perfect foil to his friends black/death/doom/drone/psych/metal/
instrumental/stoner rock.
As you can see they used their native lingo for the album and song titles ,but if you download ,you will find the titles to be translated to english. The album title is just the band's name in German. 4 songs of varying lengths. The first track ,(Master Of The Whores), was previewed on the great, big Sluggisha #1000 compilation ,in a truncated (4:00) version , while here you have the full 26 minutes + album version! Trippy and distant ,making you feel drunk with cuntlove. The next track is based off a blues riff ,but degenerates several times into a psych/freakout meltdown. The third ,and shortest number here, is chunka-chunka thrash metal stylee ,and it all ends off with the final piece ,an atmospheric doom dirge ,using only the sounds of nature ,and a tolling bell. Fuckin' great band ,here ,mates! The zip contains more photos from the album cover sessions ,that weren't used!

FILSUFATIA - Buried Beneath And Forgotten

A one-man , instrumental, melancholic black metal band from Malaysia ,South Asia.Formed in 2006 ,this is his 7th demo (he's released one each year) from 2011 ,and he sent this to me in hopes of gaining a record deal ,so any A&R people out there,take note of this guy (Deep)! He has a new 7 song demo coming out for 2012 (I'll have it here ,when available!) ,and has done a couple of full lengths and splits. Really doomy and gloomy ,a cross between Burzum /Xasthur /Emperor (though not quite as majestic!) Piano leads into electric razor-sharp buzzing guitar ,and back out . 3 songs of despair and depression. Don't play this if you have suicidal feelings! Thanks ,Deep! (real name: Benign Nor Hafeez) .Please send more!!

MONSTER MASH + 3 INSTRUMENTAL DANCE HITS -Peter Pan Records



A version of Monster Mash you probably never heard ,plus 3 surfy/hot-rod instros ,but instead of the standard cars revving and peeling out,and ocean sounds ,you get screams,chains,moans,and other manners of spookiness! And are those song titles suitable for little Johnny? Pretty good for a kids record!

WHORESHACK - Whoreshack 2 , But Not Too Whoreshack



This is the second recording from the instrumental trio. Although on this round ,from tracks 5 onwards , has special guest guitarist ,Steve Reed ! Kinda like the Ventures , if they were raised on punk and metal music. The only vocals here are imitations of Arnold Horshack , plus 3 covers of , Flipper , The Stooges , and Fear ! And a bunch of idle chit-chat at the last track. And an acapella rendering of the theme song from the Welcome Back Kotter TV show. Recorded live at the Bakery , 3/16/1993. The next post of this band ,will be their first album ,since we worked backwards in succesion. Then after that ,there will be a special posting of their appearance at the coffee house ,with Big Bong Theory ,and Conveyor.

SLOP CAKE - Disregard Banjo Tones , Entropy Dilemma



More lo-fi ,instrumental strangeness from Food. Some of this really kicks into high gear,after the initial lo-fi start. Some crazy synth stuff starts up,and it continues like that for the full 20 tracks.No really long numbers,the longest is under 3 minutes. Really cool to play in the backround when thinking , while equally accesible for the dance floor (on the moon ,in 3788 A.D. !!!) Get it!

BLACK FOREST RAPE



Thanks to Hans ,my pal in Germany ,for sending in this experimental/ black/electro/psych/
porn/doom/noise/metal band's ,first disc in!(how's that for a band description?!!). His cousin is the drummer. Weird instrumentals,vocals only show up in the form of a few samples before a couple songs.Really cool,and strange ,creates an atmospheric haze ,which blankets the whole proceedings.The song titles are like those of a porn-grind band,but they are not quite that thrashin' ,musically.And the band photos and aliases. (in the zipfile), are hysterical! Makes you think about stuff ,you usually don't think about, (or maybe you do, I don't know).Thinking man's music ,nonetheless!

LADY GAGA COVERED IN JISM




This is a palette of diverse artists,ranging from Cartman (of South Park fame),to Richard Cheese,to more contemporary artists like Katy Perry,Hayley Williams(of the band Paramore), and Chris Daughtry ,as well as screamo,acoustic,instrumental ,disco,and other styles of artists,all covering the songs of Lady Gaga.The artwork is from the October 2010 edition(#31) of Retard Riot (300 copies) art zine.(check out http://retardriot.com/ ) I know there's a ton more cover versions out there,this is just a comp. of a few comps,plus a bunch of bonus tracks I found here and there.Even if you don't like her,you gotta hear Cartman and Richard Cheese at least!Can't deny the cultural impact,with so many covers! Weird Al Yankovic ,also has a cover coming out on his new album.You can hear it here: http://youtu.be/fUxXKfQkswE

THE HUNTINGTON CADS - 5...4...3...2...1...Cads Are Go! -7"



The break-up of the phenomenal ,"Finks" (See next post) ,led the way to this rip-off of Man or Astroman,and the kids puppet series of the 60's ,Thunderbirds Are Go.The Finks I can get behind,but this is just not up to that level of surf music greatness.All original instrumentals,a little too mellow for this surfer.Even the residents of outer space would flee this sound!

THE FINKS - Dirty Rotten Finks 7"



Authentic,period-sound ,from these surf-revivalists.All original instrumentals,which sound like the classics.Half this band left to form The Huntington Cads" (see post above this) ,delving into a more Man Or Astroman ,sound.I prefer this.

THE OMELETTE EMPORIUM



Yet another new band,recently discovered off the coast of Daytona Beach ,FL. The Paper Cut Guy(pictured above),is an accomplished synthesizer master,and he takes you on a trip thru the outer space in his inner mind.Obscure references to Mayan prophecies and pizza delivery techniques are explored in the song titles.An instrumental outing,keyboard solos,without a beat.Not following the beat of a different drum,there's no drums at all! Just the sweet strains of The Paper Cut Guy at The Omelette Emporium!
