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.

The Grim - Getting Revenge In 'Merica (Mystic Records / 1987)
The Grim - Getting Revenge In 'Merica (Mystic Records / 1987)
TRIPLE TROUBE (2023) A Feature Film by The Residents
Triple Trouble is a feature film directed and written by Homer Flynn and The Residents. The film premiered at the 29th Chicago Underground Film Festival on July 29th 2022. It stars Dustin York as Randall Rose, Jr., the estranged son of Randy Rose, lead singer of The Residents.
The film began production in Autumn 2016 under the title Double Trouble, with some footage shot at that time with collaborator Don Hardy; however delays in funding and the January 2019 death of actress Gerri Lawlor meant that the film could not be completed as originally written.
The reconfigured Triple Trouble was shot in ten days in October 2020 during the lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes footage from the group's abandoned film project Vileness Fats (originally filmed between 1972 and 1976).
The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 24th 2023.

Olympic Nightingale - Une Harmonie Invisible (2023)
Olympic Nightingale has a very distinctive approach to the composition of his music. Throwing a lot in the mix, you'll find some field recordings often transformed beyond recognition, some samples from movies be they dialogues or bits of soundtracks and heavy bass. Usually based around slow repetitive rhythms, Olympic Nightingale's composition often feature broken saturated synthesisers and guitar shards which have come to become his signature sound.
Less drowned in reverb and distortion than its previous outputs, Une Harmonie Invisible is the most balanced released by Olympic Nightingale to this day. 8 bass heavy tracks, melancholy crawling in a mental maze of sparking melodies.
Black Manna - Radio Manna (2013)
Black Manna is a new band consisting of David Pfister (The Devil & The Universe) and Doc Nachtstrom (Dr. Nachtstrom, Fetish 69, Bunny Lake). Their sound is a wild mix of Industrial Witch House, Occult Experimentation and Noise. Subsonic waves of sound meet angel-like vocals. Hypnotic repetitive samples flow over a wall of sound that is partly rhythmic, partly abstract. But all of it is deeply disturbing. The perfect soundtrack to your black magic rituals.

FILM : Love God (2007) + Love God Soundtrack - Lubricated Goat/Stu Spasm (2007)
LOVE GOD (1997)
Writer-director Frank Grow's LOVE GOD is like no other film you've ever seen. It's either one of the most outrageous studio releases of all time or the biggest underground comedy ever to escape into the mainstream. More than just a simple monster movie, this tackles several parallel stories and hinges on a fragmented complexity that's unheard of in most Tinseltown flicks. It'll also have a lot of moviegoers running for the exits in record time... Will Keenan (TROMEO AND JULIET) takes center stage as Larue, a schizophrenic released from an overcrowded NYC hospital and now warehoused at the ramshackle Love Hotel. There he meets his neighbors, including a mute girl who seems attracted to him, her obsessively-clean mom and a Tourettes Syndrome neighbor-turned-roommate. Add a wacko prostitute named Kali, who's been slaughtering folks in an effort to please the Indian god Shiva, plus a crazed doctor is driving around the city with his pig-tailed nurse, looking for an escaped monster -- a parasite that travels through the sewers, ingests its victims and spits them out as walking lumps of latex. As confusing as all of this might sound, Grow does a fine job of juggling the multiple storylines, with wild animated segues provide a shorthand explanation of the various characters, diseases and religions that come into play. The script also boldly embraces several different angles -- not only is it a monster movie steeped in pitch-black comedy, but also a love story. And as each character's circle is completed, they intersect in some way. Director Grow also laces the film with smaller, subversive moments, such as a visit to the grim hospital full of lobotomy patients. Or, even better, two punk whores who pick up Larue and end up at a skanky hotel room with the bed sheets still covered in blood from a recent murder. But while all of this sounds strange enough, none of it would be more than just an exercise in weirdness if not for the cast, which goes out on a limb to bring the appropriate psychosis and humanity to their roles. At the forefront, 
Will Keenan is remarkable in a title role that comes off like a combination of Buster Keaton and Travis Bickle. Whether he's obsessively sculpting a bust out of chewed bubble gum or climbing city lampposts, he plays it totally straight, locates the character's emotional core and sucks us into Larue's terror in dealing with the real world. Larue's tightly-wound love interest Helen (Shannon Burkett) is so repressed for most of the movie that you can't help but feel for her, and although Kymberli Ghee has the proper look and energy as the blue-and-blood painted killer Kali, we never truly understand her obsession... The film's monsters (created by Paul Etheridge-Outzs, Brian Durham and Grow) have a surreal look akin to Salvador Dali meets Larry Buchanan. Unfortunately, Grow's ambitious, avant-garde approach -- rapid-fire cross-cutting, avoidance of standard establishing shots in favor of close-ups and POV perspectives -- often makes it difficult to tell what the hell is happening on-screen or get a good look at these creatures. Grainy and consistently in-your-face, its ever-swooping digital camerawork not only makes you feel like you're in the middle of this urban chaos, but that you're as screwed up as the characters. Best of all, the production design expertly captures the grit of the city, particularly when detailing Larue's hovel lifestyle. As most longtime New Yorkers will tell you, films that promise the reality of urban life rarely hit the bull's-eye. Grow not only understands the grubbiness of city life, but makes it as much a function of the plot as the characters. Dazzling, frustrating and altogether original, LOVE GOD isn't afraid to jump-start a fresh new way of approaching cinema. Although I doubt you'll be seeing this colorful blast of imagination and derangement at your local multiplex anytime soon, if ever there was a movie aimed at the upcoming millennium, this is it.

Brown Whörnet - Radio Album (Extended Edit by $landerbob)
Radio Album
Perverted Son Records - (2001)
Extended Version is HERE
Original Version plus a whole shitload of other releases :
Ladies & Gentlemen or whatever the hell you identify as, welcome to Brown Whornet country. This is their 2001 masterpiece "The Radio Album". This recording is meant to be listened to in one sitting. Yes, there are songs a plenty throughout this record, but sometimes it's the bits in between the songs that will catch your ears.
The Radio Album is an amazing project that I assume took some real work and time to put together. It plays as if you are the listener and you are listening to the radio flippin up and down the dial. They did ALL OF IT. The commercials, The Hip Hop songs, The NPR skits, the orchestral parts... ALL OF IT.
.. But wait!!! there is more...
I used to DJ for KAOS Radio Austin and during one of my shows I played the radio album in it's entirety, however I added some extra songs from compilations and a few songs from their "Valamarana" & "Hamburger" records to round it out to almost a solid 90 minutes and some change. You can still purchase the original Radio Album as well as almost all of their catalog on their bandcamp page .
