Debt Neglector - The Kids Are Pissed


B: Alright kiddos, at first i was unsure of where to start. I was tempted to let you pick, but then i saw this and i knew it was perfect. 

E: is that a picture disc loose in a vinyl envelope? 

B: yep, a proper 1 sided Punk EP to boot. It's 2018, Trump is a gigantic embarrassment, our country is a global joke, and we're currently looking back from 5 dystopian years later. Biden documents, or something. 

Now before you get offended and try to defend any of it, fuck off. Don't care about your opinion. Would we still have some of the same problems if we hadn't had Truck Nutz for President? Yes, he didn't create most of them, he just intentionally made them as openly terrible as possible. 

More recently Taylor Momsen described how the children lost their minds with Tom Morello as backup, but i think Debt Neglector says it better back then. The Kids Are Pissed. They should be, insulin is not expensive to manufacture, and neither are records for that matter. Yet here we are with some of the best socially relevant Punk Rock in decades coming from a band from Orlando, Florida. 

Let that sink in, this band is from Florida. How embarrassing does the state of the nation have to be that a voice of reason pipes up from Florida? I'm kidding of course, quite a lot of non-psychopaths live and vote in Florida, they're just gerrymandered to oblivion like all the rest of us.

Again, if you're offended by my opinion then i suggest you don't understand how opinions work. They aren't magically delicious just because they're mine, i'm just willing to openly hyperbolize them to make a point. That's Punk. 

S: ok, this is really good. 

B: i know that. I mean it's 90s style Smart Punk, as opposed to 80s style beligerantly drunk Punk, which i think i also have in this batch for comparison, but yes it's fantastic. You don't have to try to like this, it's Descendants style likeable as opposed to say NOFX obnoxious style likeable. I only point it out because of the fair bit of highly refined acquired taste lurking around the corner, but every 5-star meal deserves an appropriate appetizer. It's not soaked in butter or sugar but it's also not mired in a web of complicated flavors, it's straight to the point and almost magical in its honest simplicity. I highly recommend pointing your youtubamascope or your spotificator in the direction of Debt Neglector, even if only to say "see? Not everyone from Florida is a crocodile wrestler who uses gasoline as both a cologne and an ice cream topping." 

C: it's going to get worse, isn't it? 

B: much. But, i promised to ease into it. Are you displeased? 

E: no, but you keep foreshadowing. How- 

B: great news! Skip's here, and speaking like a true editor. It'll be as much a surprise for me as for everyone. You kids wanna shuffle the pack to ensure randomness? 

S: no, i think we'll just go along for the ride, seeing as we haven't all been in the same room all together for quite a while. 

B: whatever floats your boat. Hopefully i'll see you in the morning, but i gotta go beddy night like i'll see you in the late afternoon regardless. Either way Samara Lubelski is a pretty interesting name....

The 4 Seasons - The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette

Image
This might be my longest  album review ever. But i swear a couple times, so it's worth the read ;) How could i possibly mention Jefferson Airplane, The 4 Seasons, and Frank Zappa in the same context? Zappa said "this is rediculous" and a few years later The 4 Seasons said "you know what, Frank is right. This IS ridiculous." To which Jefferson Airplane said, "Oh. Ok. Got it." The real question is: which one is the most transgressive? Zappa said stop fighting, you look like idiots. Jefferson Airplane said i guess if love and community is a bad thing, then sure we're criminals and we'd be happy to move out into the fields and live peaceful lives without your garbage, let us go already. The 4 Seasons said hold my champagne for a moment. In 1969, The 4 Seasons released the single most ironic, acidic, extravagant, and downright befuddling album ever created, The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette. Zappa was accused of writing "shitty doo-w

Welcome to my blog, and my record collection.

This is a blog about my love of listening to albums. It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal facebook page. Over the last two months it has become quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what i think is a real art form, the album. It needs a more permanent home. Some of my reviews are positive, some negative. They might not be what you expect from album reviews, but i hope you at least find them entertaining. For the most part i do very little research, and they tend to be train of thought reactions rather than calculated essays. If nothing else, know that i'm really listening to them and whether they are amazing or abysmal i want you to go listen to them too.  I'll start migrating the 60+ i've written so far over here in the next few days, and hopefully get to the point where i just start writing them here. I'd probably even take suggestions if you're just dying to know my tho

Pat Benatar - Seven The Hard Way

Image
I don't know about you, but i love Pat Benatar. Yes, that's also her debut album with the single most underrated song in the universe (My Clone Sleeps Alone) in the background, but that's just a generic non-self-titled debut album. We're jumping ahead to her 6th album, Seven The Hard Way, because that, ladies and gentle germs, is how you kalaidescope a concept. Not one, not two, not three, but 4 protien-packed layers to this metaphor. You don't really need to know the overly complicated rules of Craps to know that A) it's gambling, B) "the hard way" refers to rolling doubles, so good luck rolling two 3.5s, and C) you're going to lose, one way or another. It's a joke, but more importantly, it's Pat Benatar and the roll out is Sex As A Weapon, so the innuendo is not intended to be subtle. Wait wait wait, that's only 3, Bottle, where's 4? You're right, last but not least, side B opens with Seven Rooms of Gloom, a Holland-Dozier-Hol
