Bad Brains vs. Black Flag

i've always preferred the 81 Dez demos of the Damaged stuff, despite the sound quality

way better.

Hey “Don’t Bother Me” is Bad Brains’ number four track on Spotify. That’s the leveling effect of streaming working correctly! A song that makes me feel like a gallon of Sherwin-Williams jittering in the paint mixer.

Joan Crawford's abiding hatred of Greg Ginn, the Beach Boys and CCR is a gift that keeps on giving. Why does he hate California lol

I like Saint Vitus and Megadeth and Slayer!

probably hates Hampton Hawes too...

i think i missed out on the ccr hate and i don't even want to know about it...

I just can't stand the way John Fogerty sings, and he does sing a lot on CCR records, so I don't really enjoy them. They're fine. Hampton Hawes is groovy no doubt, I love west coast jazz.

but ppl who love CCR will really get very excited making the case for them. not as severely as beach boys nerds, who are the actual worst, but creedence dudes are very "how could anyone not love creedence?"

Hampton Hawes is groovy no doubt, I love west coast jazz.

If nothing else, you owe it to yourself to read his autobiography, Raise Up Off Me, which is one of the great jazz books and one of the great drug books, all at once.

Fwiw my Black Flag ordering was assuming The First Four Years > Damaged > those other records

(I love CCR)

Tbh you can blame Lydia Lunch for that

Hey JCLC, thanks for the Dos tip, they're great!
Such a free and joyful sound... and I love Kira's voice too... good stuff...

Kira sings on this goofy cover! (I prefer it to the original)
