@giustipirla: poor thing, you'll be a loser like you, not Ron Asheton. Now go run and hate me, run idiot.

@ole among the fuzziest records of the past is the one by the three Englishmen Wicked Lady "Axeman Cometh," the guitarist is one with the wah-wah cranked up (too bad the drummer is a weakling). @blech: around Detroit with Stooges, MC5, Frost, Amboy Dukes, SRC, Mitch Ryder's, there were also The Third Power who released a "Believe" in 1970 with the first side steeped in acid power rock.

Well done, blech, for pointing them out. I have to say that Orange Sunshine (musically as well) blow my mind from the very name (there was a time when good drugs were circulating...) but I swear to you that if one immerses themselves in the early 70s, there are countless bands that made just one record and are now forgotten, so one ends up buying today’s imitators and leaving groups like Other Half, Magic Muscle, Frijd Pink, Fraction, Tear Gas, Highway Robbery, Morgen, etc. etc. on the counter—stuff that, when you listen to it, makes you put your hands in your hair. I hope that these revival bands of fuzz-acid proto-hard rock do the same service (for another genre) as the psychedelic garage bands of the eighties like the Unclaimed of the great Shelley Ganz: to bring to light treasures of a bygone era.

@sellami true, Lydon had the t-shirt, on stage in Texas Vicious was shirtless and screamed "you cowboys are a bunch of fags" ...nothing compared to "Brokeback Mountain" ahahahah

among people who give a record a low rating without having listened to it and others who think they’ll rate it low if they ever do listen because the cover is terrible, I’d say that the beauty of debaser lies not so much in the reviews but in the comments. Instead, the beauty of Texas is this: a reactionary state undermined by druggies like Rory Erikson or crazies like the Butthole Surfers, or a chubby homosexual like Gary Floyd. I must say that in my opinion the Big Boys may have been more important with their punk and funk blend from which bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers emerged. Of course, the first album by Sister Double Happiness is a great record, as imasoulman says, but then Gary Floyd for my tastes goes too melodramatic with his big voice. Better Tim Kerr from the Big Boys, who alongside Mark Arm and Steve Turner from Mudhoney will create the excellent Monkeywrench. @muffin man: pedantic review? I’ve seen more pedantic ones done for Frank Zappa, and being pedantic with Uncle Frankie means wasting time; it’s better to dance about architecture than to talk about music. @franci, I think it was Sid Vicious who wore that t-shirt, not Rotten...

PS I had forgotten how beautiful "It Had to Happen" (1997) is, which I'm listening to again, with the great Lloyd Maines on slide and the novelty of the accordion that brings it, in my opinion, back to the right roots tracks, halfway between early Dylan and the dryness of Townes Van Zandt.

You're good, but in my opinion, you've chosen a less successful album to "promote" James McMurtry, whose characteristic, for me, is having an unfriendly face and a voice so ordinary that it becomes extraordinary. Only he can make you feel the dust of the flatlands from a particular film like "La Rabbia giovane" while singing a "Levelland" from his third album with that detached tone that almost seems annoyed at having to sing. I really like his debut and the third one, but I like this second one much less.

@workhorse, do you study to be a defense lawyer? It's clear that gasta can write all the reviews he wants, just like the friend who posted the drim tiater that everyone is mocking (including gasta). Similarly, it's clear that everyone can read, comment, and make whatever remarks they want, unless we start bringing uncertain mothers into the discussion and wishing cancer on people, as unfortunately happens sometimes. Am I wrong?

@gasta and you’re right to apply the saying from your parts, mine was just a personal consideration; I think someone who spends Ferragosto working on their assignment about "Les Fleurs du mal" must have some issues with their brain neurons, especially since Roberto (the Trintignant from "Il Sorpasso") was stuck studying in a deserted Rome on Ferragosto due to university obligations ;-) @giusty I know that the MC5 have nothing to do with the interior design, but I believe it’s better and more fitting for someone to get high on "Sister Anne" at full volume on August 15th and then write a couple of lines about that great record "High Time," rather than do a school assignment on "Les Fleurs du mal." Always take them as personal opinions, okay?

personal opinion...but I ask you, how sad...do you miss school that much?...it's summer, schools are closed, and you’re still doing homework on the classics? Review the MC5's "High Time" or that great live album "Live at Paramount" by the Guess Who. Paraphrasing Totò...are we men or fools?
