I wasn’t sure what Apple was going to think about a podcast in which crazed rocknroll music was played, so I held off on submitting Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio as a podcast for iTunes distribution. Turns out they’re just fine with it. So if you feel like subscribing to it, here’s the link. It’s also available in other podcast apps, like PocketCasts for Android devices.

LUNG LEG, SALLY SKULL and HELLO SKINNY flyer for live show – Edinburgh, Scotland – probably 1996 or 1997. Borrowed Raymond Pettibon imagery.

This WILDHONEY song, as well as 2/3rds of this Baltimore quintet’s debut single that recently came out, is a massive wall of pop-drenched shoegazing interstellar overdrive. That means I like it, quite a bit. I’m pretty sure you’ll be busting a nut over this one too,
Awesome late 60s/early 70s all-female Indonesian beat/garage band DARA PUSPITA. They played their own instruments, wrote their own songs, and should probably be far better known than they are.

39 CLOCKS were a Hanover, Germany duo recording in the early 1980s who slot extremely well into the post-Velvet Underground continuum. Hackamore Brick, Modern Lovers, Pere Ubu, Suicide – there are elements of all in 39 Clocks’ sound, especially on their terrific “Pain It Dark” LP from 1981.
They don’t show up in conventional narratives of post-VU leaves and branches, and hey, it may be because of their somewhat gothic, metronomic, dare I say “teutonic” sound. See what you think by listening to the track that kicks off the LP, “Shake The Hippie”. (there are even better tracks – listen to my podcast #18 for the amazing “Psycho Beat”).
The Go-Go’s, Whitehouse, Black Flag, Crass…
One of the main contributors to this zine was a young Mark Arm.

The first SPK single, the “punk rock” one. It provides glimmers of the dark industrial metal-clangers they’d become, mostly in inappropriate synth-bursts that cry out in pain during this chugging song.
When I was 13 or 14 I remember seeing my first “Surgical Penis Klinik” record at Rasputin’s Records in Berkley, CA. Cue guffawing. (Read my post about record shopping in 1981 Berkeley here). By then SPK were full-blown industrial terrorists. I can’t listen to that music. See what you think of their earlier stuff from 1979 here.
Here’s what our favorite 2013 new wave/Rock of the 80s/modern music band TOXIE looks like, live in concert.
