Byron Black & Living Objects: The Unexpected

This 1981 release from the obscure Broken Records label (New Jersey) has elements of psych, punk, prog, and glam. I've not been able to turn up much information about Black and company, but did find one other release from 1983 on dual 45s (priced at an unfriendly $400). Cluttered, dark, brimming with Lou Reed/James Chance vocal steez, and at times resembling Gong in their heavy moments; it is so choice, if you have the means I highly recommend picking one up.

ENJOY

Valentine's Day

A nice collection of songs for the Hallmark holiday. Got some sex jams to start things off followed by a bunch of break up songs. Heavy on soul, but tracks veer into psychedelic territory here and there, and I've even included a hard rock cut from my favorite Anarchists, the Edgar Broughton Band. Truthfully, I don't know if the Eduardo Arujo & Silvinha, 'Opanige', has anything to do with love. It's just here because it's sexy.

Alen Robin: Super Shrink

From the same label (Janus) that released albums from Cymande, Demon Fuzz, and Minnie Ripperton comes this strange spoken word collage record with funky interludes. Pay very little for this and it may be worth price of admission.

Ultra Mega Active Christ

Spend enough time looking for records in the south and you end up with a crate or two of shitty Christian records. This compilation is dedicated to those that transcend beehive-matching-suit-turdliness. There is some filler for sure, and some things too snoozy for most, but I have to admit I'm a fan of every track on here. Ah, guilty pleasures. This is the last comp for a while as I shift focus toward mixes. Check back for weekly downloads and prepare for a very special Valentine's mix.

Flying Saucer Take Me Away

Fuck a Pink Ranger. Before the Voltron ripoffs, there was Grandizer. A feat of Anterean technology piloted by interstellar-casanova Orion Quest. Japanese-super-robots aside; I ganked the name for my second show on WNYU in the fall of 2005. Intended to showcase sample-based music alongside its sources, the program started out as a cluster fuck of underground Hip Hop and Jazz Funk. Over time the sets became more eclectic, and the sound veered left of center. Tropicalia alongside No Wave, Free Jazz next to classic Soul. There were occasional themed sets to lend some semblance of focus. I've provided a link to the WNYU archives for your listening pleasure. See if you can spot the shows where I was drunk.
