Always on the lookout for a new “theme-song” here’s a small compilation of songs that meet the criteria of the “mood” and “feel” of what we’ve got going on. So this is just a personal collection
from me to you that hits that strange, kooky and creepy vibe, maybe even a little greasy. Also has to be high energy and give that goose pimple feeling. The following is to the exclusion of none and just a few from what I have been listening to lately. So here’s what may be a regular feature:
Evil von Scarry’s Eight Track (edition zero)
-because the mixed tapes are just too cool for themselves and eight track is
just trashier!
Robert Johnson and Punchdrunks
not sure if these swedes started off with surf (before their techno? now) or just liked fucked up stuff or maybe both? Excellent music either way!
(Les) The Vice Barons
absafuckinglootly amazing! Love this high energy that motivates! Found some info from Ratboy69 that they do have stuff available for dl and from what I could find I think they are from Belgium?
Motorhead
If you don’t know who Motorhead are well…… check them out. More of a biker rock early metal group but high energy and inspiring.
Misfits
Absolutely iconic group! This song has got to be my favs!
The Cramps
With Lux Interiors passing a few years back it would seem that Ivy (his wife and lead guitarist) has let the band pass on with Lux’s death. Its fitting as The Cramps without Lux or Ivy wouldn’t be. Among many pioneering firsts they are the only group that I’m aware of that did a free (or otherwise) concert in a mental hospital!
The Ramones
Wow! Kick in the fucking door and take care of business!! The Ramones are another heavy hitter and just these two songs alone are amazing.
Dead Kennedys
these guys were bringing forward what are now called “conspiracy” issues back in the 80’s before the advent of the Internet and promoting political interest, and they were great musicians. Most punks never really appreciated what they had in DK.
Cult of the Psychic Fetus
I changed some of the music files on Fallout 3 on the family computer so my young son thought that this was actually part of the sound track,lol(note the Fallout 3 soundtrack is in and of itself a pretty good track for 1940s early 50’s style). At least he likes good music! These guys hit the creep factor and are a fantastic blend of styles.
Well that ends this feature of Evil von Scarry’s Eight Track ( edition 0).
Thanks for tuning in! -EvS
