The War Is On… Music
Today I have been granted permission to get my War On Music promotional campaign off the ground pending a signature from the heads down at 42 Albert Street. Good group, don’t see any problems there.
One problem I do see is my first endevour into promoting shows. Can’t play an instrument, may as well promote those that can. Check out acts like The Afterlife, and good ol’ CreComm brother Jeremy Williamez, as the War On Music concert series get ramped up to begin at the end of August.
Here is a taste of Evil Survives, one of many bands that are featured in War On Music’s selection of Vinyl, CD, and even cassette.

I’ve Been Feeling Suicidal
You can all stop cracking campaign, because the title is referring to the Suicidal Tendencies. I not going to hurt my self unless less it is for money, or excessive thrashing to some rockus tunes on my latest ST pick up - Join The Army from 1987.
Join The Army is classic ST. War inside my head is one of the best with a rockin. intro, and then some great group war inside chants from the boys (the video is found at the end of this entry). ST has always made a habit of writing great songs, with strong bass lines, and fans will not be disappointed with this effort; nor will fans of classic thrash bands like D.R.I..
I love You Got, I Want, because it not only a classic killer ST tune, it has that very ST style name. My other favourite tune on the album is definitely Possessed To Skate. It is super fast, and the vocals are just amazing as Mike Muir blasts out the words in time with the speed changes that keep this track rocking till the end. Any CreComms that have an opinion if I should do a skate video for montage let me know in comment form.
One disappointment for me was when I thought I had finally tracked down the album with Cyco Vision on it, but no, this album has just plain Cyco, but hey if you aren’t getting Cyco Vision, you may as well just go Cyco right. Cool.
I just picked up Join The Army Tuesday from WAR ON MUSIC - NEW LOCATION 42 ALBERT STREET IN WINNIPEG. If my IPP gets approved check War On Music out in blog, and Twitter form.

Two Groo Gou - World Contact Day
I just want to say that I hate intros, but the intro on World Contact Day is hilarious as an aliem threatens to destroy Earth becuase of the annoying, crappy rock we transmit through the universe.
The first song Hello Again is a great Ghoulie style tune, and its Ramones style keeps going throughout this album, only the Ghoulies' songs don't sound the same, although the rifts in some sound very similar to the Ramones.
This album is just good n' fast. Goulies Are A Go!, The Island of Pogo, and Island of Pogo Pogo are three of the best tunes the album, but iot goes al over the place bringing you the best of surf style punk, and some pretty great lyrics that are classic Ghoulies.

Groovie Ghoulies Do It Again
I was all fired up to find a Groovie Ghoulies album that I never knew existed - Fun In The Dark. This album I believe is as good if not better than their World Contact Day album. Both of which I picked up at War On Music.
She Gets All The Girls is one of the best songs I have heard in years I played it on The On-Slot (Wednesdays 6-7PM on 92.9 KICK-FM)and it blew my mind. Hilarious lesbian song that doesn't play on the lesbians are hot aspects clowns in pop always use. Other great tunes are Carly Simon, the title track, She's My Vampire Girl, and the second best track on the CD I feel Don't Make Me Kill You Again. If you want an explanation on what it is about I got nothing other than Kepi Goulie doesn't want to have to kill someone or something again, and he has done it several times already.
Long story short if you like the Lookout Records style of music this is a must find. Same goes if you are into tunes like Teen Idols, Diesel Boy, and many other former Honest Don's Records artists.
This is a song off World Conact Day, but it is as good as the stuff on Fun After Dark. Tommorow tune in for a World Contact Day review and vid.
I'm going for at least a week straight of posts so tell your friends.

Williamez inspired. Truck stop approved.
Anyone who was at the CreComm IPP Presentations on Thursday were witness to one of the funniest tunes I have ever heard created by Jeremy Williamez. We didn’t get a name for it, but it was about man love at in a restroom. Now I don’t have an album to talk about, but as a consolation prize I will review Tenacious D’s self-titled release.
The sexual content of a Williamez hit is in this album, but not near the surprise, although Tenacious D has three members on including Jack Black, and Kyle in the funk-crooned number named Double Team, in which they are clear that they don’t mind sucking on toes, and do have access to lotions and perfumes - even a French tickler. The Drive-Thru skit does have a reference to onion rings in an azz.
Other great songs on this album: City Hall, Rock Your Socks, The Road, Explosivo, Dio, and of course Tribute, which is about the greatest song ever played.
Some think of Tenacious D is just shtick, but I can assure you these guys rock pretty well. And if you cannot hard f as well as you like they call that into question with F Her Gently.
Check out City Hall as well, and check out the On-Slot on 92.9 KICK-FM.

Two Things In One
Flaming Cramps
Flamejob is my favourite Cramps album, and that may be a faux pas to the veteran Cramps listeners, but this album is a little less experimental, and faster than the other two albums I own.
Naked Girl Falling Down the Stairs is a rockin’ tune that keeps with the Cramps style of bizarre sexual lyrics. This girl didn’t just fall, Lux Interior tells us that she was shoved.
Other songs that really stand out Sodo County, Big Eyed Rabbit, and I’m mean.
Psychedelic Jungle
The Cramps Psycedelic Jungle/Gravest Hits is a bit more of an experimental album, but you do get some classics such as Goo Goo Muck, Human Fly, and a particularly entertaining cover of Surfin Bird. The Surfin Bird cover does go a little long into some distorted music, and I have to admit it is not as wacky as the original recording.
I like this album, although it is a little slow, but it has some of the weirdest songs found in the Cramps’ library. My favourtie for weird lyrics in Don’t Eat Stuff Off The Sidewalk, which is a strange tune at a good pace, and it is not too long.
A couple of the other more rocking tunes are Voodoo Idol, and the Crusher.
If you are in to the psycho Billy scene all three of the Cramps albums I have suggested will be a great choice for you.
