What is The Black Box?
The Rolling Stones... where do you start and when will they end? Yeah, it's time to hang it up boys. Charlie's death (for me anyway) is where the party stops. The world's oldest Rock & Roll band (I won't say greatest because depending on how I feel when asked, my answer will change daily)...
I was born in 69 and I was raised on The Beatles, The Ventures, 60's psychedelic pop 45's like 96 Tears by "Question Mark & The Mysterians" "Dirty Water" by The Standells... and of course The Rolling Stones (thanks Dad). I was blessed with a cool father who would play his LP'S and 45's all the time. I remember he had a stack of 45's that he would load up on the phonograph and I would be drawn in and hypnotized by watch the tower of 45's drop, one by one until the 10 or 15 singles were finished. I would watch the turntable spin and I would dance and be 100% entertained. ...
So you get it by now, I hope. I grew up listening to great music and to this day, watching a band or listening to music always reminds me of my childhood and my Dad's awesome record collection that I destroyed as a child. Yep..all those originally 45's are long gone and I tore them up like an idiot because I really didn't ever think they would be worth anything and my Dad never thought in years ahead when it came to the preservation of those 45's. Luckily He still has those Ventures and Beatles LP'S...
I grew up in a Beatles household and even though The occasional Stones 45 would drop on the turntable (one in particular "Get Off My Cloud" b/w "I'm Free") and my Dad would do his Jagger imitation (which looked more like Don Knotts on crack). My first Rolling Stones LP ("Between The Buttons") was given to me (along with The Mothers Of Invention "Freak Out") by my Uncle. All the Men in my family were into music. My Dad and My Cousin were big influences on me musically. My Uncle had LP'S but he was more of the casual listener who had records to play when chick's came over. I remember his records and it made total sense why he was giving those two LP'S to me. He wasn't a Zappa or Stones guy.
So even though I was well aware of The Stones and who they were and the titles of their LP'S.. I never truly got deep into them until the mid 90's. I was living in Austin and just so happened I ended up meeting and then living with Michael Chandler, the singer of The Raunch Hands. I had no idea he was even in that band until a year or so. He never bought it up until one day we were having some drinks and I started playing EXILE ON MAIN STREET and bought out my guitar and started playing along with "Rocks Off". He had never really heard me play and apparently I impressed him. We started talking about bands and The Stones ...somehow He bought up his old band and that he had sang for this band called " The Raunch Hands" and as I was discovering all these things about him he bought up a bootleg CD called " The Black Box" and his friend Michael Mariconda had a copy. Eventually I heard The Raunch Hands, met Mariconda and eventually he bought The 5 disc set over and my mind was blown. It's one of the best, if not the best Rolling Stones Collections. It's nothing but Outtakes and alternative mixes (and a few never released songs) that span from very beginning to 74. There are a couple of different versions of it as well.
You have to also appreciate the time that this came out. It was 100% a bootleg CD box set and this was 96 and a few years before the internet, mp3s, and the ability to burn your own CD'S. I saw it at a couple of record shows and it was between 50 to 75 bux and I've seen 3 or 4 different versions of it. Most of them had the same songs, some had less songs, and some would have an extra 6th disc of live stuff. So what I have done with the magic of Soulseek and checking out the different versions on the internet, I've put together what I think are the essential tracks from The Black Box. One last thing is that on every version of The Black Box cds they would have different Outtakes of some of the same songs, some songs would be just the instrumental versions or a German version. So what I have done is picked what I feel are the best versions of the songs and which in return cuts the whole thing down to a little over 3 hours.
It's a fantastic 3 hours worth and by chance you are just now getting into the heart and soul of The Rolling Stones and you found my blog and this comp? You're Welcome!!
Pay attention to the track "HIGHWAY Child" and prepare to hear The Stones sound like The Stooges. Enjoy and R.I.P. to my old roommate and dear friend during those years Michael Chandler. I miss ya dude..

R.I.P. Teresa Taylor Nervosa Drummer of The Butthole Surfers Dead @ 60
She had been sick for the past couple of years. I met her briefly a couple times throughout the years and had some small exchanges on Facebook when she would post about her health and ask friends and fans about what movies she should check out.
It's sad to see anyone of my musical influences lives come to an end, however that is a harsh reality when they start hitting their 50's and up. She blew my mind several times watching her perform. If you were lucky enough to be alive and able to see The Butthole Surfers perform in the mid to late 80s and early 90's you were never the same afterwards. It's something that no other band has ever accomplished or ever will. The closest I have ever seen was Crash Worship and that was a whole different kind of experience but had a similar vibe.
DEPRESSION SESSIONS
It's been a rough couple of weeks. I'm battling some very heavy depression and I am considering going to get some inpatient treatment. I apologize for not keeping up with the blog the past week, however I posted so much content in May that you should have more than enough to check out. I'm feeling a little better today so I am going to put some things up and have some posts set up in advance. If for some reason I do end up getting checked in somewhere, I will let you all know.
Please put me in your thoughts and prayers, well wishes, VooDoo rituals...etc. I'm dealing with some dark mental issues and the last thing I want to do is hurt my Family and friends.

Micranots - Obelisk Moments (2000)
Wow! It's been 23 years since this came out. Sadly this is one of the last O.G. style Hip-hop records. Yeah, there still are people who do it this way but now it gets called underground Hip-hop which is ridiculous. If you're still scratching your head wondering WTF is Slanderbob talking about, I'm talking about the standard formula, 1 or more MCee's and a DJ / Producer, samples and beats, very little extra instrumentation. New Kingdom is another example of great Hip-hop duos that were just a little too late. Hip-hop today, at least the mainstream stuff leaves hardly any trace of that formula. So without getting to far into a rant, just listen. What you will hear is nothing short of what should have been a hit. There's not a stinker on it and if you were smart enough to buy the vinyl? 3 LPS to fit this masterpiece on wax. Enjoy.

REN & STIMPY MARATHON
REN & STIMPY MARATHON
(featuring Happy Happy Joy Joy : The Ren & Stimpy Story)
Remember when you would get baked with your friends, family, or significant others and watch Ren & Stimpy marathons before we found out that creator and Animator John K was a creep? Yeah, I know....Well, let's focus on how awesome the show was.
On Memorial Day Weekend 2023 I streamed the entire 1st two seasons of Ren & Stimpy, Ren & Stimpy's Adult Cartoon Party as well as some extra Spumco goodies (end of Part Two). This is the archive of that broadcast.
PART ONE starts off with The Documentary about the show "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy ; The Ren & Stimpy Story" and believe it or not. John K agreed to be interviewed and he addresses the creep stuff as well. I'm not condoning his behavior, however I will give him props for not being a coward and talking about it and facing his actions. I can't change what he did to ruin his career, and I as I said, I don't condone his actions.
I'm also not going to ignore the show because of issues and controversy outside of the show itself. You can't cancel whats already been done. MANY people worked on the show and put in long hours of hard work to entertain us. He may have been the creator but he isn't the lone ranger here either. It was an amazing show and It's a shame he sunk to the levels he did. Wanna know more? You can Google it or watch the documentary. As much as I hate Buzzfeed and other garbage journalism websites, they did an awesome job reporting the John K stuff.
Starts off with The Documentary, Season One and some of Season Two UNCUT with all the bits and pieces that Nickelodeon had cut from the broadcasts.
The continuation of Season Two (UNCUT) followed by Ren & Stimpy's Adult Cartoon Party and the last hour John K's Yogi Bear & Ranger Smith Cartoons, and some other surprises.

NegaIone - Lo Spirito Continua (1986, 🇮🇹)
One of the all time great Hardcore records of all time. One of the great things about Hardcore bands who sing in other languages besides English, it really doesn't matter if you can understand what they are saying because you probably couldn't understand it in English either.

Soundgarden - Screaming Life EP / Ultramega OK
Two classic recordings from early era Soundgarden. You can hear the style that they were trying to achieve rear it's head in these early recordings. I love most of Soundgarden's music. The early stuff is still my favorite. I bought both of these when they came out, and it's an amazing look at a band that was trying to develop its own sound. There wasn't much of anything that sounded like these two recordings.
It's also another testimony to how incredible of a producer / engineer that Jack Endino is on Screaming Life. He went on to record a bunch of stuff for Nirvana, including their debut LP "Bleach" for 600 bucks. The guy is a powerhouse of a producer. Enjoy

Butthole Surfers - Brown And Out (Early Demos etc)
I made this mix back in 2000, I recently came across it on Soulseek and was surprised how many people had this in their BHS collections. Some of these demos I acquired through a fan on the old BHS forum (geez,, remember forums?) some of these versions ended up on Humpty Dumpty LSD, however some of these have never been officially released and probably never will. So it being 20 years from the when I put this together, I wanted to give it a permanent home here on my virtual label Jethro Skull.

Z-Rock (Ween & Boredoms ) - Hawaii (1996)
Z-Rock Hawaii is the name of the debut (and only) self-titled album by Z-Rock Hawaii, released in 1996. The group features Gene Ween, Dean Ween and Claude Coleman Jr. of Ween collaborating with Yamantaka Eye, Seiichi Yamamoto, Yoshimi P-We, and Yoshikawa Toyohito of Boredoms.
In 1994, during the recording of Chocolate & Cheese, Gene Ween, Dean Ween and Claude Coleman Jr. of Ween collaborated with Japanese noise rock band Boredoms on a project released two years later as Z-Rock Hawaii. Melchiondo had become a big fan of Boredoms upon seeing them live in Philadelphia in 1993, calling them "the heaviest band [he] had ever seen since the Butthole Surfers".[3] Boredoms frontman Yamantaka Eye had previously released an album that heavily sampled Ween's The Pod.

Chinese Cookie Poets - Viva La Raza!! (compilation by Slanderbob)
Some incredible math rock from Brazil. I compiled my favorite tracks of theirs from their Bandcamp Discography.
Kamasutra (Vollendung Der Liebe) - Irmin Schmidt, Innerspace Production OST (1969)
This Soundtrack LP is done by CAN keyboard player and composer Irmin Schmidt. It features songs that later appeared on other CAN lp's. I don't know much more than that except I love this record and I will be posting some CAN and related side project records very soon.
The Vampires Of Dartmoore - Dracula's Music Cabinet
Finders Keepers presents this uber-rare soundtrack to a film that never existed, performed by an imaginery pop group. Incredible Polanski inspired German hip hop psychsploitation beats from 1969.
You couldn’t script it... You are nineteen minutes and twenty-two seconds in to your peak- season cruise around the Kraut-schlock peripheries. To say the trip has been an eventful one would be an understatement - you don’t know what to expect next and your 12” x 12” Germanic tour guide has proved quite unreliable thus far. As your diamond tipped vessel maneuvers through the grooves of your ninth horrific attraction (entitled The Soaked Body) the soundtrack awkwardly becomes background music and you are overcome with the sound of gushing water... ‘Help!’ you think sarcastically, the music, or is that muzak, is drowning!
This is the movie soundtrack to a film that never existed. This is the movie soundtrack by the band that was never requested. These were the sound library musicians who had to invent their own clients and imaginary cast, crew and plot to get their music heard, by a niche audience, before floating deep into the depths of the rare record reservoir gasping for breath.To take a cinematic cue the record in question is the eurotrash pop equivalent of Jean Renoir’s tragic/triumphant Boudu character who as a homeless, confused and desolate down-and- out plunged to the depths to be unwillingly rescued, resuscitated then after gradually winning the hearts of an entire family becomes respected and revered as royalty. Over twenty years after the mad scientists, Dr. Horst and Ackermann, first breathed life into this short-lived beast, brave and intrepid vinyl explorers have sporadically returned to the doors of Dracula’s Music Cabinet to resurrect the sonic spooks and mutated melodies to share with nerds, mods, rockers, hip hoppers, psych nuts and Krautsiders alike. The lifeless corpses of The Vampires Of Dartmoore that lay six feet beneath the belly of the Eins Deutschmark bins has since crept through the record collections of the aforementioned social circles devouring continental currencies and demanding random ransoms of €250 plus, not to mention sweat, tears (of laughter) and a lot of blood.

This Is GWAR (2021)
This Is Gwar (2021)
This Is GWAR review: a thorough portrait of cult metal heroes - Outtake
What started as a kitsch attempt at a movie in Richmond, Virginia in the 1980s eventually evolved to be GWAR. What is GWAR, exactly? At least half of Scott Barber’s documentary toys with that very question. On the one hand, GWAR is much more than a collective of artists and musicians performing obscene stage shows and singing heavy metal. On the other, that’s really all there is to it. This is GWAR confidently asserts itself as the definitive chronicle of one of the most fascinating heavy metal bands ever assembled, and as a stunning story in its own right.
Following key members of the band over a 35-year period, This is GWAR tracks the infamous costumed band as they discover their musical and artistic identity. Described as “the most iconic heavy metal/art collective/monster band in the universe,” GWAR are notorious for spraying audience members with imitations of various bodily fluids, performing lewd actions on stage, and for their biting social commentary hiding beneath the apparent madness. The extravagance of their costumes, sets and music videos are matched only by the power of their music, which has evolved from a punk-inspired medley to a fully fleshed heavy metal super act.
Asides from providing a detailed insight into the band itself, Barber’s film sets out to achieve a number of things. Rather than picking a specific thematic focus – which arguably might have made the film more nuanced – This is GWAR spotlights everything from artistic elitism to the inherent difficulties of collaboration and far-right political censorship. At times it can feel like Barber is clinging to too many branches, but he always brings the focus back to those at the centre of GWAR who make it what it is. Each member is self-reflective about their own artistic journeys and turmoil, confiding to the camera with remarkable honesty. By always returning to those behind the masks and the onstage antics, This is GWAR stops short of descending into a mismatched collage and remains a compelling, singular portrait.
The film illustrates the band’s colourful nature by interspersing animation throughout, at times deliberately mimicking comic strips. Barber makes sure that you have more than just the band’s word to go off, and that GWAR’s personality shines through in the visuals. These often accompany the most memorable moments, such as a very funny gatecrashing of the Grammys (where they were explicitly told not to arrive in costume) and slightly absurd appearances on television alongside Jerry Springer and Joan Rivers. GWAR’s performance is not limited to the stage, as a vast collection of archive footage and interviews attests to.
This is GWAR manages to counter the silly with the deeply profound, with a balance that strikes a similar chord to Jeff Tremaine’s The Dirt and arguably improves upon it. GWAR have had more than their share of heartache and trouble, and while the film stops short of offering any resolution, it doesn’t shy away from these difficulties. It is in these moments that perhaps GWAR’s ultimate purpose becomes clear: family. Those who have been with the band for the longest have devoted three decades of their lives to it. The way that Barber manages to elicit the strength of the bonds within the group, despite the members rarely sharing the screen together during the film itself, is remarkable to watch.
“The world needs GWAR” as one band member puts it. But equally true is that GWAR needs the world. The world is what gives GWAR and its members’ stories such weight and importance, even behind all the devilish tomfoolery. Without the world, GWAR’s actions suddenly lose all meaning. It is by placing GWAR so deliberately in a changing, messy context that Barber captures their full appeal – complete with projectile menstrual blood, demons hell-bent on the destruction of Earth, and a singing toilet with teeth. For fans of GWAR, this is a diamond in the rough. For everyone else, it needs to be seen to be believed.

Melvins - Five Legged Dog (2021)
Wow! Talk about putting something off till next week. For starters, I've seen The Melvins more than any other band. I spent most of my time seeing live bands between the ages of 14 to 45. I moved from Austin back to Portsmouth, VA (right next door to Norfolk, VA) in 2011 and it slowed down drastically. We used to get a lot of bands here in the 80's and 90's however it slowed down in the early 2000s. I moved back and forth between Texas and Virginia from 95 - 2011. I would come home for a year of so and then move back to Austin when I got sick of Virginia. Why did I ever leave Austin in the first place (especially Austin in the 90's when it was still under a million people)? Life happens and sometimes you gotta go home and regroup. Long story short, I've seen 1000's of bands and ever since Eggnog, I've seen The Melvins on almost every tour. Twice a year sometimes. The Melvins are one of my favorite bands and I rip off Buzz a lot when I play zee heavy music (yes I said zee as in "zee Germans, Tommy" I just watched SNATCH).
So if you are a Melvins fan then you know that they have put out a lot of records. Some are amazing. some are just awful, and even they will tell you that and they don't give shit if you like it or not. Sometimes they do it on purpose (see PRICK for ex), and more recently they have been just putting out what they feel like and it would seem that the days of getting a consistent album full of songs that just flat out rock and follow The Melvins traditional style of songwriting are kind of over. Now as far as consistent Melvins albums go, I would say that after That's not to say that they have lost their edge. The Melvins still bring it live, and for my money they are still one of the best live bands out there. GO SEE THEM! Even if you have to drive 3-4 hours. It's worth it.

Shoes - Eccentric Breaks And Beats
I love a good DJ mix lp. DJ Shoes is a hard one to figure out. I've looked all over the internet and it's almost impossible to get info on Him / Her?
Shoes put out a 12 inch called "SHOES OF MILES DAVIS and it's a must hear / have. (I will post it shortly). If anyone has info on if SHOES is an individual or a collective that would be awesome.
There are other releases under the name SHOES on discogs, but I can't seem to find them anywhere
not even on Soulseek.
This is a fantastic soulful mix that reminds me of J DILLA at times. Kick back and push that play button. - Slanderbob.
