D.I.Y.: We're Desperate - The L.A. Scene (1976-79)

first thought was Neutron Bomb but Lexicon Devil is such catchy chaos.

Are you sure about that?

Maybe they corrected it on a 2nd pressing? (Would there even have been a 2nd pressing?)

Anyway, I remember hearing about it back then, and it's mentioned on Discogs.

Much prefer the single version of We're Desperate anyway

It’s hard for me to be objective. I love the sound of Wild Gift.

I just checked my copy of this comp, and I've got "Topographical Lies," not "TAQN"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

want to push this song, think if you like stuff like Dream Syndicate it's sort of in that realm

this is the single version which is on this comp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNKk-Itin64

I think I picked the wrong psych band to compare it to lol but it's kind of psych rock but punk energy and I love it. sorry drunk etc

Yeah it’s a good song

I had a Dangerhouse singles compilation which was quite great and the Germs expanded lp on cd.
Read the Ugly Things Weirdos history and then bought their compilation Weird World. Plus also knew Life of Crime from the Laughing Hyenas cover.
Recently read Kid Congo's memoir which talks about LA Punk scene and listened to No Dogs In Space podcast history of The Screamers that talks about it too to give background.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Love "Life of Crime."

Damn! "Split this, mofos!"

I went with "Los Angeles."

Voted "I Hate The Rich" but probably would have voted for the Screamers had they managed to get a song out then.
