einstürzende neubauten - solo bassfeder. a collection of solo recordings by members of the neubauten using the legendary bassfeder in 2005; plus some bonus tracks

recorded in 2005 and released on the mailorder-only musterhaus label in 2006, this collection of solo compositions by members of the einstürzende neubauten has become rather rare throughout the years.

the sun ra arkestra - fondation maeght nights; volumes one and two; august 1970

the mighty sun ra arkestra live in france, recorded on the 3rd and 5th of august 1970 at the fondation marguerite et aimé maeght in saint-paul-de-vence. these performances have been released on vinyl in 1971 on the french shandar label, and got lost and rather rare immediately. they have been rereleased legally and as (semi-)bootlegs both on vinyl and cd quite a few times in the following years, but seem to be hard to find by the time being. 

for your listening pleasure i compiled my 1991 jazz view versions of these recordings into one big file that sums up as a 76-minutes-compact-disc with all information you might need at first bite, though some additional information may be found by following the given links to discogs.

so here we go:

cd 1: (find it on discogs)

02 - the star gazers

03 - shadow world (listen directly)

04 - the cosmic explorer

cd 2: (find it on discogs)

by the way: following the sun-ra-tag in the marginal column on the right will lead you to an exclusive recording of a sun ra live concert in stuttgart 1984 and some more.

and the blackest thing in harlem is white: the patti smith group executing 26 versions of (we're gonna have) (a) real good time (together) between 1974 and 1977

 

gored mournink, am=ericka! this is the original classic patti smith group execoutioneering 26 versions of a wombatourful great song of the late=layed velvet underground called (we're gonna have) (a) real good time (together) at various places between 1974 and 1977!

the patti smith group of course were patti smith on vocals (and guitars and keyboreds whenever she thought an aesthetic intervention was necessary), lenny kaye on guitars and bass, ivan kral on bass and guitars, jay dee daugherty on drums, and richard sohl on keybroads. 

 

though some of the following tracks of course are part of my very own record collection, i must admit that i found most of the tracks on the wonderful sugarmegs server that is offering litterallye thousands of live concerts by the likes of the grateful dead, the beatles, the kinks, bob dylan, the ramones, the velvet underground, pink floyd and the stooges, to name but a few.

R.I.N.O. an international compilation, featuring cull, gaop, meisterpiss, tada, sturclub, monopolka, and many other international sound artists in 2007

and i don't know most of these names, either. in 2007 the us-american roil noise offensive label asked the artists of the post-industrial community to send in one or two tracks for a coumpilation of post-industrial noise, and some of them did like i did. and this=here little cd is what we got in return, ten free copies for each track we sent in, as far as i remember. and though they even messed up the two tracks i sent them, it was a fair deal.

and i don't know most of these names, either. at least, i had never heard of any of these bands or groups or artists until i received my author's copies, but that was a situation not coumpletelay unknown to most of the artists contributing to coumpilations like this. but it was fun anyway, and everyboreday used to listen to their own contributions and then store the cd anniewhere in their collection and fourgitt about it for the next twenty years. at least that is what i did.

and i don't know most of these names, either. but theythemtheirs being featured on discogs might help you on your way into the abyss. the roil noise offensive label itsbeauttea=fullselves has=had longuebefore cut out annie infournation on this cd, and the internet archives do not know much more, though at least they hint and point to a review this cd had had (you will have to be had to have had been scrolled down a little bit) had on wonderful wooden reasons way back in 2007. and being featured on a blog called wonderful wooden reasons was all i ever wanted in my life; and if you don't know why it is called wonderful wooden reasons, you are reading the wrong blog, honey.

end two confuze you toretally: track 20 on/of the cd is credited to sturclub, though it is a siemers track called "emptyru", and track 21 is a track by the german postkraut unit sturclub (wenne voran, david dufour, uwe büchele and ralf siemers on all instruments) called "combs", that eye messed up and mixed out and missed off of some noise we recordered in 2004 ass far as i remember.

so here we gogo:

01 - android in motion vs. ghoul detail - prelude to misery v

02 - sausage mutants - without your meat

03 - cruel morning rigolleto (sic!) - say ahh!

04 - matrimonio - dirty sounds of clinton's body (listen directly)

05 - rover's - cert

06 - ctephin vs. elser - meteor lotus

07 - cull - cull

08 - xdugef vs. gdr - gounging out frank's third eye

09 - gaop - emmet

10 - meisterpiss - broken illusion (listen directly)

11 - metrostroi - ueksh peks

12 - metrostroi - ueksh treks

13 - tada - tes

14 - jake vida - desensitized

15 - opium farmer featuring ghoul detail and rabbit girls - hunting for pussy in a gay bar is a fools errand (listen directly)

16 - monopolka - no fender but cunt

17 - ru486 - object cursed floor mix

18 - rubbish vs. mejniak disztorzson - gay rambo

19 - rubbish vs. napalmed - skoriafier

20 - sturclub (siemers solo) - emptyru (listen directly)

21 - sturclub - combs

22 - three piece homecoming queen assembly set - glory glory armageddon (listen directly)

23 - warning broken machine vs. f.ampism - pink is last years black

24 - warning broken machine vs. lap dancer - funya funya ni naru

25 - xdugef vs. 3ro<|< - irritated brixton steppa

this is the best of lesbian comedy the dontaskdonttell=usa could ever dare to "come" along with in 1997

so this is volume one, and if there ever was a volume two or even more will remain coumpletely un-no-certained a-sured foar eve-r, et cetera. this volume one of lesbian comedy was relealeased in the usa on the rising star records label in 1997 and obviouslay got nowhere (except for now=here): discogs at least is aware of rising star at least, but not of this peertakular record, and google has no notion at all. so ernieway, thi/she/re is the best you can get.

most of these tracks have been recorded in front of an inaugurated audience, so there is no irritating confrontation and only very few winkingly provocation of an underprepared public. and so this is some fun and no fun synchroraneously, okay.

and these are the artists involved:

and here they go=go!

01 - vickie shaw

02 - dos fallopia

03 - kate clinton

randy california singing in german, the suburban power-pop of the conditionz, and the contacts pondering about young girls and their boyfriends: three 7inchers for one hundred and twenty euro anyone?

one hundred and twenty euro; at least that's what the selfearorganized databankateers at discogs say; and now you can judge for beautiful sellfishs: randy california, the conditionz, and the contacts. please note: there is no .zip or .rar file at the bottom of the post: all the featured tracks can be listened to or can be downloaded instantly and directly without any annoying showstoppers; and if you need any of the pictures (and you'll need them, of course) you are asked to download them separatedlay onebuyworne.

soulet ustart with the contacts:

this little power pop gem was released in 1980 and seems to be the only release the contacts ever came off with. andy janik played the rhythm guitar and sang lead, marc ford played lead guitar and sang some backing vocals, andy park sat in on drums, and ian sandy handled the bass guitar. 

as far as i know all of themfour got lost in the process of growing old and left without a trace. meanwhile back on discogs this little 7incher changes hands for some fifty euro or more.

the contacts - young girls

the contacts - boyfriends

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

sickoundlay we're couming up with the first single of the carliforniaint conditionz released in 1983 in a cheap white cover with a big hole in it. morest of the vary few information about the early statues of this band can be found on discogs again where this little 7incher changes hands for some 70 euro for whatevereason, so i'm not gonna repeat it. i'm not gonna repeat it. i'm not gonna repeat it.

so listen:

the conditionz - she's so suburban

the conditionz - house divided

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

and thirstley you'll get randy california of spirit with a little 7incher you may find in the cutoutdustbin of your local record shop for some 20 cent or you may find it never at all paying his tribute to the german rockpalast audience in 1982; and you can all go sing a=long.

randy california - grosser herrscher
randy california - magic wand

...ain't that's it for now...

L.S. BEARFORCE - some german postkraut from 1983 featuring mani neumeier and edgar hofmann, plus some semi-rare faust tracks for your listening pleasure

their eponymous album was released in 1983 both as a picture lp and a white vinyl album in limited editions of 500 each; in 1999 the album was rereleased on white vinyl, omitting the liner notes lotus schmidt had provided for the first edition.
