In Search Of Syd (ORIG POST)

This compilation is dedicated to the late, great Syd Barrett. It was originally released in 2007 as a free CD with Mojo magazine with the sub-title of 15 psychedelic freak outs. There's a nice eclectic bunch of artists on the CD and it has some really good tracks on it so I've posted it up here for your enjoyment.

End To Empires

I picked up a couple of free CD's at a gig the other night and thought I'd post them up here. I went to see The Plight supported by Turbowolf (Who were really, really good), The Dead Formats and Feed The Rhino (Another good band, pretty typical current UK hardcore).

Ancient Snakes by Turbowolf

This CD is from a band called End To Empires and has three tracks of excellent thrash punk/metal. They're not breaking any new musical boundaries with their style or sound but if you like your music fast and thrashy then you should give this lot a listen.

Derek And Clive Come Again

Here's something a little different for you. Derek and Clive is a double act of comedic characters created by Dudley Moore (Derek) and Peter Cook (Clive) in the 1970s. The characters are supposedly two lavatory attendants and are appallingly foul-mouthed extensions of their earlier characters Pete and Dud. Pretty much every 'sketch' is highly offensive and usually consist of the drunken pair swearing at each other. If words like fuck and shit offend you then you're not going to like this but I find it incredibly funny :) This download is actually their second album called Come Again which was recorded in 1977, the first one is Derek and Clive Live from 1976 and the third (& last) album is Ad Nauseam which was recorded in 1978. There was also a film documentary recorded in 1979 called Derek and Clive Get The Horn.

Dead Kennedys - Flexi (Buzzbomb & Rednecks)

Here's a copy of the flexi disc that came free with the 1987 album Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death. It has an alternative version of Buzzbomb with Jello singing in a weird 'grandma' voice. The other side is called Night Of The Living Rednecks and was recorded live with Jello telling a story whilst the guitarist sorts out some problem. The files are in FLAC format.

Swell Maps

Here's the first four singles from a band called Swell Maps. Swell Maps were a 'trashy/garage' style punk/experimental group that came from Birmingham in the UK. Consisting of brothers Epic Soundtracks (real name Kevin Paul Godfrey) and Nikki Sudden (real name Adrian Nicholas Godfrey) two Solihull based teenagers, plus Biggles Books (Richard Earl), Phones Sportsman (David Barrington), John Cockrill and Jowe Head, the band cut the single "Read About Seymour" as their debut in 1977. They're pretty experimental in places and were definitely not one of the more 'standard' sounding punk bands around that time but I still love 'em.
