G.G. Allin - Always Was, Is, and Always Shall Be (reissue) (1980)

G.G. Allin's debut album is a raging, disturbingly sincere testament to
misogyny; he puts on a virtual clinic demonstrating the word's definition.
Allin views women as mindless instruments of gratification with irritating
desires like interaction. (In "Automatic," he sings "Don't go playing with me
emotionally/Or I will make you bleed internally"). His gender politics are
discussed on nearly every track, which makes the mediocre girl group-style
backing vocals on "Cheri Love Affair" seem all the more out of place. Allin
is backed by a competent band playing Stooges [1]-style riffs, and he himself
is sometimes tuneful; this is enough to make the songs some of his best
musical material. Amazingly enough, the violent hatred, sexual and
psychological degradation, and staggering stupidity only hint at the heights
(or depths) Allin would reach later.

Rudy Schwartz Project - Günther packs a stiffy (1995)

The R.S.P. is the nom de disque of Joe Newman, who did most of the writing,
playing and singing on these 20 energetic tracks. One of them is a sly,
touching tribute to Frank Zappa, and fans of the 1970s-era FZ will no doubt
enjoy much of Newman's satiric, sardonic humor -- check out "Yodelin' Satan"
on this CD. But whereas Zappa raised himself on 1950s R&B and avant-garde
classical, Newman is into trash TV, cartoon soundtracks, weird movies,
Yee-Hah cawntry... and *nasty* language; "Enhanced Florence Henderson" is one
of the few cuts I can play on the radio.

Rudy Schwartz Project - Salmon Dave (1993)

One of Rudy's better demo cassettes, finally released now on a glorious
sounding CD. As always features great full color cover art by Roy Tompkins,
and several more songs to be added to the list of Rudy Schwartz's all time
classics, including "I'm No Prude, But Some Things Should Just Be Banned",
"Chick Corea's First Ouija Board" and a 1950's style doo- wop version of the
Police's "Every Breath You Take" that has to be heard to be believed!

The Rudy Schwartz Project - Salmon Dave & Günther packs a stiffy

Two albums compiling early tape-only releases by *Joe Newman*, the wacky
brain behind the *Rudy Schwartz Project*, who keeps mentioning *Frank Zappa*
as often as he can in an apparent attempt to gain exposure by association. Of
course, the only thing he has in common with Zappa is questionable mental
health, but he's managed to receive respect from *Jello Biafra* and *Zoogz
Rift*, so he's doing something right.

D.I. - Live at a Dive (1993)

With a decade-plus career that roots all the way back before their appearance
in the underground film /Suburbia/, DI [1] have made a landmark in the sound
of Southern California punk to maintain legendary status along with the likes
of Black Flag [2], the Circle Jerks [3], Agent Orange [4] and the Descendants
[5]. And with /Live at the Dive/ these guys can prove that they can still
rock out after over ten years in the business and still compete with the next
generation of whipper snappers -- not doubting that their revolving door
lineup has benefited to their energy.

Fred Frith - Gravity (1980)

This one of the most important guitar-based, experimental guitar titles from
the avant-guitarist and founding *Henry Cow* member *Fred Frith*. /Gravity/
is the most lighthearted of Frith's solo output, actually. It is Frith's
celebration of dance from all cultures. Perhaps it is the streak of
dance-music appreciation that caused him to collaborate on the musical score
to Sally Potter's /The Tango Lesson/. Percussion is light and largely marked
with handclaps. The guitars sound twangy and bring folk-instrumentation to
mind. Violins and horns add a jubilant feel to the music. Many musicians help
vary the sound of each tracks and some of these guests are from *Samla Mammas
Manna*, *the Muffins*, and *Henry Cow*. /Gravity/ is an entertaining and
multi-cultural pocket folk festival.

Descendents - I Dont Want To Be Bootlegged (2000)

Pretty good quality for a Demo recording.

These songs were taken from the Enjoy sessions, track 4 being the only one that made it on "Red" now called Green. Don't know what the first 3 are called, so neither will you. Enjoy!
