Dave Lang checks in with a great tale of the touring travesty calling themselves Black Flag.

You never know what you’re going to find on the interweb. Here’s a year-old track from San Francisco’s SYNTHETIC ID – wonderfully spastic and short jerk-yr-head punk. If my sources are correct, they’re an active band. What do you know about them, if anything…?
Shoes This High reissue on the way
Siltbreeze doing us all a solid by bringing to life a lost live show by New Zealand’s SHOES THIS HIGH along with their amazing Ubu-meets-Fall 7"EP. Coming in January.
Played this one on my most recent podcast – it’s the UK’s BEACHBUGGY, whom I’d almost totally forgotten about until last week, doing an awesome disjointed FALL-like garage two-step in this short track called “General Electric Pilot”.
I’ve never heard any of their stuff outside of the 1998 CD “Unsafe….At Any Speed!” on Sympathy, which is sort of hit and miss, but when it’s hitting it’s fantastic. Is any of the rest of their catalog worth hearing?
One of the many fantastic new bands that’s caught our ear of late are Memphis’ NOTS, who just put out their debut 45 on Goner Records. They’re captured cranking out some fast-n-bulbous off-kilter pop music live in concert here.

The paisley underground is alive and well in Seattle, Washington, where LA LUZ are proving themselves to be the melodic, organ-driven psych/surf heirs to Kendra Smith, David Roback and, what the hell, Annette Zilinskas.
I’m loving the new “It’s Alive” album. Seriously, put a dirty surf guitar sheen over “Explosions in the Glass Palace” or “Happy Nightmare Baby” and you’ve got this record. I’m not sure anyone’s been able to successfully evoke that sound for thirty years the way these women have.
Get it from their label, Hardly Art, here.

ABOVE GROUND, a short-lived 1983 trippy Velvets/Modern Lovers-style freeform project from Bill Direen, Maryrose Crook and others. I just heard the posthumous Siltbreeze release this past week for the first time.
It may not be for everyone but I’m pretty sure it’s for me.
Help me celebrate the silver anniversary of Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Podcast by downloading or streaming #25 right here. As I try to make a custom of, this one’s bursting with new material from all over the world – nay, the English-speaking world – including winners from PAMPERS; SEPTEMBER GIRLS; SEX TIDE; JOANNA GRUESOME; SPRAY PAINT; THE FIREWORKS and DREAMSALON.
There’s also a nod to our forefathers and foremothers from the 70s and thenceforth who bequeathed unto us music from the likes of The Slugs; 39 Clocks (pictured here); Sperm Wails; Man Tee Mans; the Suicide Kings and even Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. Like I said on the podcast, it’s “wild” “freeform” radio, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the glory days of potsmoking, late-night FM DJs spinning Steely Dan next to some “Dark Side of the Moon” deep cuts. Trust me, this show is really almost that good.
