no Destroy All Monsters thread?? Okay. S/D? C/D?

Destroy DAM with Niagra and Asheton wresting control from Loren.

Search also Nightcrawlerz, Monster Island, Poetics, etc.

the Gobbler CD (Skin of Flesh All Mighty! is a great, sticky wad of cosmic art-garage spooge that is rarely discussed. very true to the spirit of DAM '74-'76.

Cary Loren's Monster Island supergroup fits in well with whatever we're calling the oud-toting' movement that unifies the post-Tower Recordings ragged raga-deers, the Jewelled Antlers and their Finn brethren, and the Dark Holler stable of holy folk miserablists, but is often overlooked.

in the meantime if you need something DAM in a box bookbeat is selling for $250 the peace/yod "live in detroit" 7-inch "CLEAR vinyl;, edition of 250 in fur lined box, also known as the "monkey fur box" has extra packaging, photo. cards, stickers, etc..."
How am I living without it??? other curiosities available also, search for keywords destroy all monsters:

(don't quote me on those though, because off the top of my head i actually can't remember off-hand how any of these are different from each other. i'm just going from probably fuzzy memory, plus from where i filed them on my CD shelves last time i listened to them!)

(and oh yeah, those two longform videos mike kelly sent me once are real good, too, but one is definitely more bearable than the other one. i completely forget what they are called at the moment, however.)

Well, I definitely remember that their cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" on one of those turn of the '80s Tremor (is that what the label was called?) records comps was pretty bad. I think. (But yeah, the stuff to own is obviously the stuff by the artsy band DAM, not the later punksy band DAM, as others above have noted.)

i heard that 'mom and dad's pussy' song on the Gummo soundtrack. what the shit is that? is that representative of either their music or intellectual stature?

watchoo mean by "they" ?

watchoo mean by "they" ?

The Mahavishnu Orchestra

The Broken Mirrors disc is pretty decent.

i was looking up gg allin's song "die when you die" on youtube and found that it was ripped off a song by Destroy All Monsters! Who would have thought. I thought they were some kind of sound collage band based on their infamous 'mom and dad's pussy' song (where the hell did they get the kid for that song, anyway?).

compare the two versions!

i really like their version of the song. do their other songs sound more like this or like the "mom and dad's pussy" song?

Both, depending on which period of the band you listen to!

hm... so which sounds like music and which sounds like a kid talking about his mom's pussy?

mom and dad'd pussy sounds l;ike a kid talking about his mom and dad's pussy--is that your question.

um, which period sounds like which, bro?

hard to tell sometimes

ok, so which period is on the above clip?

2.O !

"you're gonna die" was the flip side of "bored

Some label I forget which is about to reissue the Cherry Red stuff again I think. That's the stuff like in the clip. Not that it's too hard to find the Cherry Red stuff on CD already. I think the existing CD's called Bored (which is the A-side of the song in the youtube clip)

SONGS

so it seems "you're gonna die" was one of their most conventional songs, then?

This is the CD with YGD on:
