Reigning Sound Love And Curses Trash Talk

Besides Mick Collins, another beautiful bastard Devil-Wizard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and super with this other magnificent creation of his.

With Too Much Guitar, you say to yourself, “okay, he made the masterpiece album with his Reigning Sound,” and instead this cursed bastard does what?! He makes you wait a whole five years and then slams you with a wonderful album, a “moody & melancholic” - his words - side of the Oblivians sound. You can’t define it… it transports you back to your adolescence with sounds full of Sixties vibes, R&B, soul but also steeped in that traditional American sound…
And with that bastard voice, teasing… in spite of the 17 octaves of the “great singer” whose opinion I couldn’t care less about… that fuels this splendid bastard…

Sloths - Makin' Love

The Wyld - Fly By Nighter

It's the thrill of a moment, maybe two. That's why it works especially well for a 45 RPM record, often with distorted titles and names on the masters and labels of the vinyl. Further confirmation of a carelessness that dominated all phases of the process. For many others, it won't work at all, stopping at the limited space and finances of a demo tape, a reel, a cassette."

Reigning Sound- Let Your Self Go

In addition to Mick Collins, another beautiful bastard Devil-Wizard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and superb with this other magnificent creature of his.

The third album, wrapped in a fire-red cover and with an evocative title, is a masterpiece. R&B, Soul, Country, Gospel all stuffed, showcased, and sprinkled with that sensible and skewed Rock 'n' Roll style of the Oblivians: perfect!

THE BARBARIANS - Take It Or Leave It

The Essential Albums: “THE BARBARIANS”

That being said, I don't agree with the Reverend. In my opinion, it's not an essential album even though it has some notable tracks but, above all, a Rock'n'Roll story that deserves telling… I’ll share it in a few episodes - and thanks for this, Rev -

A Little Story… continues… Episode 3: “… and it’s at that point that one of the older brothers of those fifteen-year-olds listening to the Ramones remembers having seen that damn drummer with a hook instead of his left hand on TV, with 'The Barbarians' written in black on white, right on the front head of the bass drum. Oh crap… so that’s who old Moulty was!

The Barbarians will participate in that show with sandals on their feet, and when after two years of that unsuccessful single (Hey Little Bird), which is one of the oldest and also the rudest and most vulgar garage-punk relics in history rediscovered years later by bands like Miracle Workers, Cannibals, and Chesterfield Kings, it will be time to put together a whole album, they still have those sandals on their feet on the cover photo."
to be continued…

Sandals? No way, damn it… Rockers - and Barbarian ones at that - wearing sandals… as if we were at Woodstock all smelly, holy shit!!!

The Newports - Feelin' Low "Ghost Riders" has been released, a collection featuring dark singles from folk/psychedelia/R'n'B that deserves utmost attention. Here's another piece with the cover Just Remember I believe @[luludia] might like it, but now that it’s been discovered that @ilconte has a heart, he might also be interested in these 45s.

Cavemanish Boys☆ Come On Baby

This time I disagree with the Reverend. This is a great album, uploaded to my USB yesterday and blasting through the car speakers this morning. I don't know who suggested it to me with a listen or what...

Bantam Rooster - Miss Luxury

And from Micigaann, here are these two (former) kids who wrecked - with a few close friends - the soul with a Garage-Punk-Blues-LoFi sound. Just three, unfortunately, bone-crushing albums for noble souls with a dirty and pulsating sensitivity. They didn’t achieve success but made me feel more “happy”…

Wow, what a blast!!!
