another playlist

lord of the flies
here's a nice little sampler of some
straight up
scuzzed out
rock and roll

enjoy


1. The Homosexuals - Flying
has the swagger of glam rock but all the anger and attitude
of punk... basically what you'd expect from a band called the homosexuals

2. The Misfits - Return of the Fly
danzig's vocals at their peak, it's so retro and yet still so forward looking
there's just something really incredible about it to me

3. Wire - I Am The Fly
dark perfection

4. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Firefly Child
so scuzzy and sleazy you can hardly believe it. masterful

5. Melvins - Eye Flys
such a representative early melvins song... it takes five minutes to build up (just to see if you can make it) and then spends about a minute and a half rocking out but in typical restrained madman fashion

6. Cherubs - Venus Flytrap
noise rock not in the sharp, jagged big black sense of the term, but rather punk rock washed over in feedback (also, was xtc playing in the background the whole time?)

7. Erase Errata - Walk Don't Fly
more jagged noise rock, great chick vocals

8. Grinderman - Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars)
approaches birthday party greatness

9. The Cramps - Human Fly
you know when the crazy people in the movies sit in their straight jackets and shake violently back and forth? this is the song playing in their head.

10. Mudhoney - Butterfly Stroke
yay grunge
