The Cramps, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Frank Zappa (my bio-mom actually met Zappa before he died. She was the one who told me about him).

L7, and...I can't think of any thing else right now.

get thee to a used record store and find a copy of the Cramps' early "Bad Music for Bad People" comp. You will never be the same.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:51 (twenty years ago)

Don't bother with L7.

I'd also suggest A Date with Elvis by the Cramps and Joe's Garage: Act I by Frank Zappa.

Shakey is OTM
find any Screaming Jay record with "I Put A Spell On You" and you will have the powers to seduce men of any age.

I used to have L7's "Smell the Magic" on tape in high school. I think they had one or two decent songs, tops. Great EP title tho.

The Frank Zappa best-of, Strictly Commercial, isn't that bad of an intro.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:54 (twenty years ago)

What else was I thinking of..um..
Matthew Sweet, Sleater-Kinney, Patti Smith.

And there ain't no used record stores where I live!

― Nowell, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Whoa, I gotta go. Later.
Back to class.

― Nowell, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:56 (twenty years ago)

Don't bother with Patti Smith.

All you really need by Matthew Sweet is Girlfriend. He's done some other nice stuff, but that's really the pinacle.

the only Patti Smith I enjoy repeated listens of is her cover of "Gloria", which is genius. The rest = eh.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:56 (twenty years ago)

With Zappa, I'd go for either "Hot Rats", "Apostrophe" or "We're Only In It For the Money" by The Mothers of Invention.

― Wooden (Wooden), Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:05 (twenty years ago)

Okay, nevermind all this crap....everyone cite THREE ALBUMS that Nowell should go fetch right now, lest she spend another moment in unenlightened musical limbo.

I'd suggest....

Are those the same albums you recommended to Caitlin a year ago, Alex?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:09 (twenty years ago)

Might'a been. I'm just thinking out loud. I'm sure the KJ one was in there.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:10 (twenty years ago)

Yep, the KJ one was.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:12 (twenty years ago)

haha Julian Cope. Have you heard his crazy new P-Funk homage thing?

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:14 (twenty years ago)

Wow, I really went overboard on that thread.

No, I haven't heard anything new from Julian since that Brain Donor single, which -- frankly -- left me rather cold. He's still a genius, but don't ask me to get excited about his newer material.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:15 (twenty years ago)

it's good, it's like a Parliament record. There's a thread around here somewhere about it, it's called (inexplicably) Roger...

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:21 (twenty years ago)

Really? Hmmmmm.....

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 2 September 2004 21:40 (twenty years ago)

I don't have any money right now - I think I got 5 bucks. I was gonna get a job, but I was discouraged by someone who I don't wanna talk about right now. One of my brothers was supposed to give me money, but he spent it all on himself, of course. (We don't live together.)

I'll keep all of your ideas in mind.

Critics always say that Patti Smith is so good. Is she, REALLY?

― Nowell, Friday, 3 September 2004 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Dudes and dudettes, I thought y'all weren't annoyed with me anymore.

― Nowell, Friday, 3 September 2004 22:03 (twenty years ago)

Patti Smith is self indulgent crap

listen to this:

best punk song ever

― MATH BLASTER MYSTERY! (ex machina), Friday, 3 September 2004 22:08 (twenty years ago)

Can't listen to it. Don't have the resources.

― Nowell, Friday, 3 September 2004 22:10 (twenty years ago)

Fuck these people, the first Patti Smith albums are classic.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Friday, 3 September 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago)

Patti Smith is pretentious crap. Always has been. Always will be.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 3 September 2004 23:24 (twenty years ago)

That's why she should listen to it now, before the cynicism sets in.

The first one is Spiritualized's "Lazer Guided Melodies."

Ugh, "pretentious" used as a pejorative!

This thread confirms my suspicions: Nowell is an undercover police officer practicing his/her internet entrapment ruses. Recommend the wrong album & get busted for endangering a minor!
