Let the Devil out
Rollins Band
Nice
Comments: Rollins Band does Van Halen, poorly.
Joe#1
Fugazi
Sub Pop 7" Singles Club
Comments: Fugazi's entrant into the Sub Pop singles club is not interesting or challenging.
Sinking
Black Flag
Loose Nut
Comments: Probably the best song off Loose Nut. The short uneven album came at the end of Black Flag. Still this song about descent into isolation and depression is prophetic.
Vikings Daughter
SSM
SSM
Comments: The other Detroit super group of 2006. There is something about this track that reminds me of the Dukes of the Stratosphear. One thing about the song is that it is the most straight forward rock song on the album. The sound effects are kept to a minimum.
Biomusicology
Ted Leo/ Pharmacists
The Tyranny of Distance
Comments: What a great intro. Building on the vocals and a simple riff, the music grows. Though the cello/ violin in the middle of the song is a bit much.
Swamp Gal
The Nomads
Showdown
Comments: The Nomads do The Cramps, very well.
Strangler of Boston Town
Thee Headcoats
Beached Earls
Comments: The Wanderer reworked, not very good. Billy also sounds uncannily like Elvis at moments on this song.
Son of a Gun
The Vaselines
The Way of the Vaselines
Comments: Kurt Cobain's favorite band. Something tells me that guy had good taste. A lot of the Vaselines songs are littered with blatant sexual innuendo or reference. This is devoid of any of this.
Fool Like Me
King Khan And His Shrines
Three Hairs and Your Mine
Comments: King Khan does 60's soul better than anyone these days. Then again he is also the only one doing soul these days.

Train Ride Home
Jack of Diamonds
The Daily Flash
Nuggets
Comments: Harmonica driven psych folk. Not terribly interesting.
Black Coffee
Black Flag
Slip It In
Comments: Anger and coffee feeding me, is probably the best line from this song. When I first heard this song I wrongly thought Black Flag was trying to do the Descendents thing with coffee. But it was all in my mind. One thing that is cool about this is Ginn's solo. I think this is where he thoought he could turn this Black sabbath dirge into the sound that became the horrible Gone.
Heartbreak Stroll
The Raveonettes
Chain Gang of Love
Comments: This is a prime example of their brand of fuzzed out pop.
Youngblood
Thee Headcoats
Headcoats Down
Comments: Patrick Tangney introduced me to Billy Childish about 20 years ago. After countless albums and in carnatios this is by far my favorite song.
Reputation
The Ettes
Shake the Dust
Comments: this trio just released their allbum. They have a big sound for a three piece. This particular song is almost metal, but holds back just enough to keep it garage.
Justify
BBQ
Bomp/Alive Sampler
Comments: I discovere Mark Sultan's BBQ last year when I was reading something about Les Sexareenos. When I heard that his BBQ project was a one man band I was a little interested. What I found was a great mix of soul and R&B, with a dash of punk. If you like 60's music check this out.
Token Entry
Token Entry
Jaybird: This came out in 1989 on the Roadrunner hardcore imprint Hawker Records. It was so different than FBTS and so amazing. Token Entry was a little different than the moshcore that dominated the NYHC scene in the late 80's. On two sucessive albums they pushed the limit. What sucked was that the band imploded not long after this album was released. They released another album, but it wasn't the same.
Morgantown
American Standard
The New american Standard Classics
Comments: American Standard were a little something different from NJ. I finally got all there albums this year. This track comes off their last album. It's amazing when you listen to all of them and realize that they really honed a sound that no one has been able to duplicate (see Garden Variety) to any great effect.
Division Street
Thursday
War All the Time
Comments: coming off there mediocre second album, this song has some amazing riffs and is of the better songs. Still its plagued by to many time changes and shift in tempo. Everytime I listen to it I can't help but think of Streets. This was a metal club in New Rochelle in the 80's, which was located on Division Street.. Lights Out!
Long Distance
Original Sinners
Sev7en
Comments: Exene Cervenka got a new backing band for her second outing with the Original Sinners. This resulted in a less intense album. This song sounds exactly like Ghost Rider. As usual Exene's vocals are flawless.
Optical Sound
The Human Expression
Nuggets
Comments: on of the truly "psychedelic" moments of the first Nuggets boxed set.

Tiger Army
III: Ghost Tigers Rise
Comments: I am really interested in where Nick 13 goes with Tiger Army. This song is punk tinged Rock-a-billy. He can also pull out some monster riffs. Either way I am there.
Taxman
The Beatles
Revolver
Comments: I like the laid back groove of this song, but this isn't one of my favorites.
Dick Johnson

Comments: I have never been terribly impressed with this live set from Cb's.

Comments: The first 30 seconds of this song is weak. Then it ramps up into a pretty good scream song. I guess the song title says it all.

Comments: This was a great album and this song advanced UO as songwriters. Too bad this album got trashed back in the day.
Make You Mine
The Fondas
Runaway Bombshell
Comments: The Fondas craft great Detroit songs. There are 5 great songs on Runaway Bombshell. This is one of the great songs. Although the piano during the middle of the song is really annoying. Luckily someone only got to play with it for 30 seconds.
