now..... what the hell is that supposed to mean now??? I sure as hell mentioned this re release in a Killdozer thread not too long ago, and seeing as nobody but ONE person responded to it, I thought I should give it a thread of it's own. And sorry George the Animal Steele, but that one thread is just TOOOOO DAMN long to find out where ONE LITTLE SIGNIFICANT MENTION of Blight is at all, I read enough that I could stand I found SHIT about BLIGHT so sorry...........

ut that one thread is just TOOOOO DAMN long to find out where ONE LITTLE SIGNIFICANT MENTION of Blight is at all, I read enough that I could stand I found SHIT about BLIGHT so sorry...........

It says way more about Blight than this piss ant thread so if that's insignificant then the actual descriptive material in this thread is nonexistent. Learn how to use the "find" command in your browser.

Could this be my first confrontation on ILM? Yay! Well looking back SOBER now, my comment did seem pretty confrontational, what with the capital letters, exclamation points and all... So yeah, I still pretty much consider myself new around here. So I take it that I was trying to find that information on Blight the HARD way, by actually attempting to read the whole thing from beggining to end,I guess that anybody would get impatient trying to do that.However, I would still be grateful if you could show me how to find whatever that thread says about Blight. I'm not even gonna disagree with you that any information on Blight is nonexsitant here, but I don't really think that that is my fault, I was basically just mentioning the reissue. There especially can't be that much that I could say about Blight anyway seeing as how they were a shortlived band, but I'm hoping that I'm wrong on that. Plus I was hoping that maybe some people could chime in with some Meatmen stories or something, but I'm guessing that I can find that somewhere else too.

also, if it's not too much trouble, maybe you could also explain the definition of "piss ant" (a play on the word pissant??).....

Here's the extract from Rolling Metal:
xhuxk didn't know it was Vee, corrected himself later in comment.

Blight, *Detroit*: Reissue of 20 cuts recorded by Motor City artnoise hardcore band (sometimes augmented by an electronic trumpet player named Tesco, though not Vee apparently) in 1982. I never heard of them before, so I doubt they're more than a footnote. But apparently they did gigs with the Necros and Negative Approach, and so far who they suggest to me most is a more rudimentary Flipper (or a more flipped-out Rudimentary Peni? What the heck, let's say that too), which qualifies them for a metal thread, right? Anyway, I like this. Tuneful despite trying hard not to be, and too slow to slamdance and mosh too. I bet they pissed off plenty of dumbass kids with mohawks.

-- xhuxk (xedd...), January 26th, 2006.

Studio cuts on the Blight CD are more tuneful than the live ones, especially the one where the singer starts barfing that he'll bludgeon you to death. (The singer is Tesco too; I get the idea he used his electrotrumpet more live than in the studio.) Even the live cuts, though, make me wonder why hardcore and noise bands in 2005 suck so much ass compared to hardcore and noise bands did in 1982.

And oops, duh, Tesco IS Tesco Vee. The studio stuff was recorded at Touch & Go studios, produced by Corey Rusk, and obviously the Meatmen (who I've never listened to much) were on that label too. Which obviously explains why the reissue is on Touch & Go. Damn I'm slow.

-- xhuxk (xedd...), January 26th, 2006.

xp(Caveat: By CD's end, I had a headache. Which might just be my sinuses, but in general I think they should've ommited the 7 live cuts. Corey Rusk got a cool buzzy sound of them in that studio. Live, Tesco seems more like the thuggish oaf I've always figured him to be.)

though I'm sure there are a few noise bands now who are better than Blight were

There were a lot of noise bands that were better or equivalent to Blight, which was a kind of Tesco Vee joke which I seem to recall getting a line on from his 'zine. At least that was the impression. It didn't occur to me sooner, but the different Chainsaw 'zine reviewed a lot of them...

― George the Animal Steele, Sunday, 12 February 2006 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

Well, thank you. How did this information about the cd come about? Was this from an inside source? Also which other noise bands would you have considered to be worthawhile?

― xgurggleglgllg (xgurggleglgllg), Sunday, 12 February 2006 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

xhuxk must've received a promo copy. I remember Blight from a 'zine I put together, must've been fifteen to twenty plus years ago. John Crawford who did the cartoon Baboon Dooley, Rock Critic, was an aquaintance and a fan of theirs. At least I recall him talking about the band with enthusiasm.

In terms of noise bands, No Trend was hard to miss back then. SPK was also "big," and I use the term loosely, at the time. Slogun and Leichenschrei were the names of the releases that got the most ink. There were also a number of cassette labels that specialized in it. Ladd-Frith was the name of one of them. I think they were on the web last time I looked.

― George the Animal Steele, Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

No Trend is actually one of my favorites! Have you heard of Mission for Christ? I don't know much about them though, I've only heard one song of theirs plus a "dub mix" of the same song. That song was put out on No Trend records and I would'nt be surprised if that's all they put out. To me they kind of sounded like a Flipper/Blight mix.

I saw Blight open for Seven Seconds in the fall of 1984, their brutal downer noise drove all the hardcore kids out of the room. Definitely some Flipper influence. I left also, but that was due to the excessive volume and not the music. I remember being a little scared of them (I had just turned 18). I mentioned this on another thread where Blight came up, but it wasn't the Rolling Metal one. Some MP3 blog posted the single a while back and it was better than I remembered.
