Punk Records for the Permanently Damaged
- Dan Melchior Und Das MenaceChristmas for the Crows LP
Following the Pink Scream EP on Shake Appeal Records, this is Dan's latest full-length LP, Christmas for the Crows. A fully realized album that explores his latest psych inclinations and twists them up with barbed-wire folk lyrics and jagged guitar. A new milestone for Dan (ex-Broke Revue). Pressed on 180 gram vinyl. 1000 press.

Both songs on their debut sport a Wire-like economy and a similar sense of verse-chorus-verse change. And like Paris Frustration tempers their Joy Division obsession with some Crisis, these boys seem to cut the Wire with the Subway Sect. This is a great record and it gets better with each listen.

LiveFastDie - LIVEFASTDIE shake things up with some dirty Neanderthal rock 'n' roll on "Bang It's War," then follow it up with the lo-fi pop sensibility of "Lovedogs in Space." Unbelievably dumb and unbelievably catchy with a nice, simple guitar hook and an exceedingly repetitive chorus that brings to mind ROKY ERICKSON's "I Walked With a Zombie."
VCR - Had the Velvet Underground festered in underground obscurity in, say, Dayton, Ohio, instead of being liked in New York, and only rabid obscurists held their only 7" aloft like a chalice, my two cents is that they'd sound like VCR. The late '70s have folded into the mid '00s like a Mad Magazine back cover: the elements are the same, but when creased over the past three decades, it somehow sounds a little new and good-funny again.
(OUT-OF-PRINT) - DC Snipers / TampoffsSplit 7"

DC Snipers - "(Baby) Don't You Be So Violent" could very well be their best, a real Seventies-sounding guitar rock killer. Very contagious and a little bit sleazy. "Dirtbag" continues in the same vein, this song would definitely have a moustache and continually be asking you if you have any rolling papers if it came to life.
Tampoffs - They come out smoking with a pair of tuneful garage-punk blasters recalling the glory days of Rip Off Records. I know, I know: ya been there, done that. But it don't matter. This band rules. This is fast, catchy stuff laden with energy and excitement. Totally fun, ultra-rockin'.
(OUT-OF-PRINT) - Dan Melchior Und Das MenaceElev to Mezz 7"
(T)he new Dan Melchior Und Das Menace single is out, and it's the shotgun blast to the belly we expected: a two man effort that combines keys with Melchior's murk to great effect. Hear what happens when someone calls Dan a hippy. It's groovy!

Finally, a legit vinyl re-issue of an album widely considered one of the best European punk records of all time. Hubble Bubble was based out of Brussels, Belgium and released this album full of manic vicious pop masterpieces in 1978. The band were ALAIN "ALAN VON BUR" BUREAU, ROGER "JUNIOR" JOURET, and DANIEL "DEE" MASSART. Jouret later had huge success as PLASTIC BERTRAND with his hit song "Ca Plane Pour Moi".

Vinyl reissue of the great second Hubble Bubble album! It's a killer mix of punk and glam, keeping the snot and pop of the first album and throwing in some Bowie swagger.
