Scott threads where he talks about all the records he's listening to are always fun. I love that he digs Michael McDonald.

I don't remember this at ALL. little white dude does a vanilla young mc thang with Matt Dike producing. Great Zombies sample! Young MC fly girl back-up vocal exhortations on EVERY song. Or maybe it just seems that way.

Tommy Thompson really kinda sounds like Paddy Prefab on that title hit. Don't know if that ever occurred to me a zillion years ago. That song is really Prefab+Howard Jones. Kinda. Richard Marx blows. I just saw Carly the other day. She looked fab. I wonder what the Nick Heyward song sounds like? I will have to wait and see.

this album is SUPERDUPER. funki cali action.

― scott seward, Friday, 2 March 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

1989. talk about out-of-print. this is pretty hard to find on vinyl too. i'm happy with tape action.

― scott seward, Friday, 2 March 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

just awesome. seriously. the gangsta storm was gathering...but this tape is all about old skool battles.

listening to the awesome swedish thrash of hexenhaus from 1988:

― scott seward, Friday, 2 March 2007 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

for some reason, the Hexenhaus cover reminds me of this Morbid Angel cover:

!!!!!!

― scott seward, Friday, 2 March 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Hexenhaus was first though. Album prize goes to Morbid Angel however. Though, like I said, Hexenhaus had a good thing going.

― scott seward, Friday, 2 March 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, also, i collapsed onto the couch and listened to Bolt Thrower from the pile of tapes too. i heart bolt thrower.

― scott seward, Friday, 2 March 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

so I'm listening now to ace 80's power metal band Scanner (who i think might even still be around) and the american cover of their album Terminal Earth from 1989 is HORRIBLE. TERRIBLE band shot cropped into what looks like the window of a spaceship. But you can't actually SEE the spaceship or anything. It looks more like some sci-fi video monitor or something. LAME. they TOTALLY wanted U.S. idjits to think this band was Warrant. And it DIDN'T WORK. cuz really they are just good old fashioned muscular future-obsessed thrashing power metal. and highly influential in power metal circles at that. anyway, here is what the U.S. distributor of Noise Intl. releases DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE:

Now playing: this soundtrack to the movie Bad Guys is actually a perfect reflection of a movie that stars Ruth Buzzi and Sgt. Slaughter. Precious Metal, The Kane Gang, The Redskins, Spyder Turner, Hand Tools, Robert John, AND a Stars on 45 medley of Stax hits! VERY limited web-presence for this movie.

― rizzx, Saturday, 3 March 2007 00:07 (seventeen years ago) link

its not exciting to me..at this time

― rizzx, Saturday, 3 March 2007 00:07 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe that last cover is somewhat exciting

― rizzx, Saturday, 3 March 2007 00:08 (seventeen years ago) link

i remember when i translated allllll those Blessed Are the Sick lyrics to DUTCH

fer real...that was exciting

― rizzx, Saturday, 3 March 2007 00:08 (seventeen years ago) link

my wife is a dutch translator. but she's not a big death metal fan.

hey wait that was me scott. not maria.

― scott seward, Saturday, 3 March 2007 01:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm totally gonna translate this:

Human Animal!

noise voor minimal fans, minimal voor noise hoofden. Olson op saxofoon = sweeeeeet

volgens mij is dit hun beste totnutoe. niet zo extreem confronterend en brutaal als Burned Mind (ook lekker maar toch). Human Animal is geniepiger.

iemand hem al gehoord?

rizzx (rizzx) on Thursday, September 7, 2006 4:40 AM (5 months ago)

Human Animal!

noise for minimal fans, minimal for noise hooves. Olsen Twins + saxophone = sweet

vulgar hun tomatoes are extreme confrontations and brutal for brutal minds (the licker of the torch). Human Animal is a genie pig!

heard any good jokes?

― scott seward, Saturday, 3 March 2007 01:13 (seventeen years ago) link

great album by stevie's ex.

that tim weissberg cover takes me back to record store days. i once pretended to like that awful LP he did with dan fogeldouche in a failed seduction attempt. rock and roll memories

― m coleman, Saturday, 3 March 2007 02:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Memories, anyway.

refusing to restrict himself to the warm confines of soft rock, Dan Fogelberg decided to "tackle" jazz
