The Tubes -The Tubes


1975
Manic proggy-ish kitchen sink rock that reminds me of Frank Zappa/Sparks. I'm not really a Zappa fan at all, but this is sorta OK. Mid 70's rock with synthesizers. It made Sadie spin around in circles till she would fall down over and over, so I guess that counts for something.

-You might even hear stuff that reminds you of Steely Dan and David Bowie.

Ramesses - Misanthropic Alchemy


2007
Ramesses I gave the first record a listen today and that thing is a fucking bulldozer of fucking heavy crushing steamrollerness. I like it 'cuz it's pretty much all out and super heavy, but this thing dosn't crawl it moves along at a battering clip. It's It's all out let it lose in the performance as well as the production. I like this kind of thing, but if your looking for good songs and production Take The Curse is one of my favorite records of 2010. Still in rotation in the car.

Tad - God's Balls


1989
Possibly the greatest album of all time. Certainly the only record that's ever brought me to tears.
