And, Scorched Earth.

go to any power pop list in the world and you'll find more love for enuff z'nuff than you'll know what to do with. their love of harmonies and catchy choruses will endear them to posies and material issue fans till the end of time, even if they're not quite as good as those posies and material issue fans would leave you to believe.

my bus boys knowledge starts and ends with "there goes the neighborhood," which was pretty damn great.

The VKTMS were good.

Evil Beaver's kinda crappy, even live. Once you get over the joke name, there's not much there. The Red Aunts deserve more love though (I went to high school with a guy who was related to one of them and put them on EVERY mix tape he made).

Are this Scorched Earth the 1980's Welsh Zeppelin copyists? Pretty good as I remember. My brother went to see them play in London once and he was the only person there. Apparently they gave up in disgust halfway through a cover of (I think) Dazed And Confused.

Triumph were pretty inconsistent weren't they? I remember I Live For The Weekend, Tear The Roof Off and Blinding Light Show delivering the goods, but the rest of their catalogue has obviously been discharged by my memory banks at some point in the last couple of decades.

Evil Beaver are another post-frightwig-style foxcore band (as thurston moore used to call them). are they really any good??

I stared at this subject line for a while as the thread took its time loading. BLTFZSPK? is Bullet Fuzz Spark a band name?

I bought that JPT Scare Band thing because I liked the time/place it came from. It's pretty cool, but I wish it had more songs and less jams. (Or, less solos and more riffs.)

A duo. Lead Bass and drummer so it sounds like poor woman's John Entwistle. I liked it the first time I heard it, much less the second. And not at all the third, unfortunately. Maybe I should go back because whadda ya do with CD-R's besides put them in the trash or give them away to people you don't like that much?

Bltfspk from "Joe BLTFZSPK" in Lil' Abner, or something like that. You know, the guy with the storm cloud over his head.

The Aytobach Kreisor CD xhuxk reviewed isn't the one I burned. Apparently they had two.

The Scorched Earth I have was made in England and they're definitely in heavy white blooz territory, but it's on Aytobach Kreisor's label, Rubric, which meant it came out sometime between 2000 and now. Of course, the blurb on the digital music site said they had stored their tunes up from '69. They do "I Ain't Superstitious" not half bad.
So who knows?

I just got Hammers of Misfortune's 'the August Engine' because I couldn't find 'The Bastard'. I like the instrumentals, but kinda wish I'd held out. That lady's singing is a bit gay.

Confessor is some of the best loopy, grooving but technical metal I've ever heard, with totally histrionic vocals that take a bit of getting used to, but which actually make the band. Don't know about the new stuff tho'.

That [Hammers of Misfortune] lady's singing is a bit gay.

Janis Tanaka. Was briefly in L7, played on the penultimate Fireball Ministry album. I saw her onstage with them frequently and she didn't sing although she did rock.

I love "Fly High Michelle"
