More To Come!

Alright, so I haven't really done much posting this summer, but that is soon to change. Well, soon as in after a couple of weeks. I'm in Detroit right now and have just picked up some interesting looking comps from Car City Records and Stormy Records and will be posting those after I get back to Montreal. I don't really know anything about them yet, but here is the list:

- From Twisted Minds Come Twisted Products - Noiseville #18 - 1990 - Apparently a noise-punk/garage compilation with only about 2000 copies. The internet has almost nothing about this album, but some of the individual artists have write-ups.
Featured Artists: Action Swingers, Unholy Swill, Bench, Bootbeast, Surgery, Bullets For Pussy, Pocket Fishrmen, ST 37, Coz The Shroom, and Jarmed Enecy

- Squares Blot Out The Sun - DB #72 - Originally scheduled for release in 1984, but delayed until 1990 - features material going back as far as the late 70's up until 1989. Allmusic calls the earlier stuff "particularly fascinating". The music here is all pretty southern and it looks kind of like a punk compilation with some southern/country influences.
Featured Artists: Pylon, Fans, Jack Heard, Reivers, Tim Lee, Side Effects, Swimming Pool Q's, Skeeters, Oh OK, Coolies, Brains, and Tom Gray with Alfredo Villar

- Live At CBGB's - Atlantic SD 2-508 - 1976 - Features the most happening artists that played at CBGB's back in the early days of New York punk. Interestingly, they didn't include Patti Smith, which I thought was intentional, but which allmusic called a serious oversight.
The artists featured here are: Tuff Darts, The Shirts, Mink DeVille, The Laughing Dogs, Manster, Sun, Stuart's Hammer, The Miamis.

- I also found a Sister Rosetta Tharpe album - Spirituals in Rhythm - OSL 31 - Not sure of the year.
