The Mono Men "Have A Nice Day, Motherfucker" 1997

1996 was not a good year for the Mono Men. A warehouse fire destroyed the band's equipment and wiped out much of the inventory of Estrus Records, the label run by Mono Men founder Dave Crider…...Amidst the confusion, guitarist and singer John Mortensen opted to part company with the group, leaving Crider to handle singing and six-string duties all by himself. No one would blame Crider for having a lot of anger welling up in his system after all that, and he lets it all come pouring out on 1997's Have a Nice Day, Motherfucker. The new three-piece Mono Men let most of their garage rock influences sit on the sidelines this time out, and instead they pummel their way through a sneering set of old-school punk, replete with covers of vintage rippers by Radio Birdman and the Zeros and like-minded originals like "Off My Back," "Hate Your Way," and the brilliantly titled "Hey (You With the Face)." (Former Big Boys guitarist Tim Kerr even stepped in to produce in classic amped-up but stripped-down fashion.) As it turns out, the Mono Men were a damn good punk band, tight and fiery, and Crider's pissed-off persona here suited them well. The band finally threw in the towel within a year of the release of Have a Nice Day, Motherfucker, but this set showed them going out with a bang, bloody (and smoke damaged) but unbowed to the last. - by Mark Demingtrax:

Albums I Like ... Part 11

These files will expire on 11 September, 2017
Please enjoy them if you don't have them already.

They are All 320Kbps (unless otherwise noted) and fully tagged

01 Black Sorrows - Harley & Rose [1990]

Harley and Rose is the sixth studio album by Australian rock band The Black Sorrows. The album was released in August 1990 and peaked at number three on the ARIA Charts, becoming the band's first top five album. The album remained in the top 50 for 51 weeks.
The Black Sorrows are an Australian blues rock band formed in 1983 by mainstay vocalist Joe Camilleri (ex-Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons), who also plays saxophone and guitar. Camilleri has used various line-ups to record 17 albums, with five reaching the top 20 on the ARIA Albums Charts: Hold on to Me (September 1988), Harley and Rose (August 1990), Better Times (September 1992), The Chosen Ones - Greatest Hits (November 1993) and Lucky Charm (November 1994). Their top 40 singles are "Chained to the Wheel" (February 1989), "Harley + Rose" (August 1990) and "Snake Skin Shoes" (July 1994). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley_and_Rose)

Great album. If you are not familiar with Joe Camilleri and his various band incarnations then you should seek him out. I can post more if you are interested.

02 Nektar - Remember The Future [1973]

Remember the Future is the fourth album from English progressive rock band Nektar. Much like their debut album Journey to the Center of the Eye, it is a concept album which is formally divided into ten tracks but in fact consists of one continuous piece of music. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_the_Future)

I was looking for an album in a Melbourne record store when I noticed a special sound from the stores speakers. Wow. I sat down an listen to both sides of this album, immediately checked my wallet which was basically a handful of low denomination notes crumpled in my front pocket together with some shinny silver coins. Did I have enough for the purchase. Yes! Yes! Yes!. I handed over all my cash. I was told that will be and extra 15 cents for the plastic slip cover. I ripped the slip cover off and said "No Thanks" When I got it home I listened to it over and over, quite obsessively. I really enjoyed this album and collected all their works going forward.

Link https://we.tl/8dMSSfVrq1

03 Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Rattlesnakes [1984]

Rattlesnakes is the debut album by British group Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, released on 12 October 1984.[1] The album reached number 13 in the UK Album Charts and included the hit singles "Perfect Skin" (#26 in UK), "Forest Fire" (#41 in UK) and "Rattlesnakes" (#65 in UK, #31 in the Netherlands). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rattlesnakes_(album))

This is an absolutely terrific debut album. One of the best of the 80's. It a short length album but all of it 10 tracks are pure pop gems. Lloyd Cole's voice is very appealing to me. His voice creates a vibe that I can easily get into. Again, other albums by this group should be sort out.

Today Walter Becker of Steely Dan Died. (R.I.P.)

I didn't get around to posting ant Steely Dan apart from "Aja" a few weeks ago.
They have a very unique sound which i enjoy very much. I first realized how good they were whild i was a passenger in my friend Dave car. He had just fitted an eight track player and has 3 8 track tapes. "Reelin' In Thee Years" was one of them. A great song and a great sounding Album. Was hooked on them ever since.
Here are two other albums by Steely Dan.

@anyone interested: I've observed Gyro has stopped posting his fabulous "Bonus" series every day. Do excuse me for saying this, surely it's not the case, but the Comments section has bloated into a hulaballoo of (great) offered shares, not even related to the front-page posts made by Gyro, which are even frequently ignored by the music-swappers every day. Thus I wouldn't be suprised G. has somewhat tired of taking the trouble of posting for (nearly) no one. Of course I am sure to be mistaken for this brief analysis.
...Posting goodies is nice, the TZ community is one of the most courteous and generous I've found in blogland, but perhaps we're overdoing it a bit?
Just a feeling I have, based on some facts I've been observing lately.
Please I don't want to give offence to nobody, please! Peace.
Cheers Daniel, from Spain...

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer-songwriter Hank Williams in 1949. Williams wrote the song originally intending that the words be spoken, rather than sung,[2] as he had done on several of his Luke the Drifter recordings. The song about loneliness was largely inspired by his troubled relationship with wife Audrey Sheppard. With evocative lyrics, such as the opening lines "Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will/He sounds too blue to fly," the song has been covered by a wide range of musicians. During his Aloha from Hawaii TV-special, Elvis Presley introduced it by saying, "I'd like to sing a song that's...probably the saddest song I've ever heard."

On Pretty In Black, Denmark’s The Raveonettes are out to shake up preconceptions that had them pegged as stripped-bare garage-rockers – an association perhaps not entirely unfair, given that they once recorded an EP entirely in Bb minor. Recorded with reverb boosted up high in an effective, if budget, approximation of Phil Spector’s Wall Of Sound production style, the likes of "Here Comes Mary" and "Seductress Of Burns" are lean, shimmering cuts of 60s Americana - pure pop bubblegum laced with razorblades.

That’s not the only hallmark of this record’s increased scope, however: guests including the Velvet Underground’s Maureen Tucker and Martin Rev of synth-punks Suicide are on hand to further bulk out the compositions, while Ronnie Spector, voice of key Raveonettes influence The Ronettes, adds backing vocals to one of the album’s stand-outs, "Ode To LA". Elsewhere, a cover of 60s girl-group The Angels’ "My Boyfriend’s Back" – in which a demure maiden threatens a would-by suitor with a beating from her recently-returned amour – is recreated, quite beautifully, on a tinny drum machine: proof that The Raveonettes can still turn out pop magic using the most primitive tools. --Louis Patterson

RYP said...

Fourcade,
yes, you are right, it has become no matter, what I post every day! For this reason I also lose the interest to the TZ slowly, but sure. As Jillem already said, "I'm drowning in the deep blue sea."
Surf's up!

Beyes said...

I really miss Gyro's Bonus posts. :(

jonder said...

RYP, I hope you don't feel that no one cares what you post. Many people enjoy your passion for surf, garage, rockabilly, doo-wop, blues, and so many other things that you have shared. Your comments section is a gathering place for "friends" who have never met in real life to share our own passions, discoveries, and requests. I know that was not your intention, and is not your main purpose in having a music blog, but we are grateful to you for moderating and sharing our comments. We wouldn't return here if not for you and Gyro and your diverse tastes in new and old music.

Anonymous said...

Ryp and Gyro....First off thanks for all you do. I think what has happened here in the comments section has been a huge change over when I first discovered the blog around 4 years ago. Hell I didn't even read the comments for the first couple of months...imagine the surprise when I did. I think what you seeing happening is a reflection of a few things. We have seen some blogs with large followings disappear in the past few years. Williard's had a very active base. I think that more traffic has arrived because of that and because of what has happened at other blogs -inactivity and the posting of more obscure music in genres that may not have the appeal to some. This blog is rock solid with a good community and I think the number of posts with music in them to share are a reflection of that. To the contrary not a reflection of what is being posted by the moderators. RYP..I don't think we would all be coming to this blog to see what was being put up and what new bonus finds Gyro was going to be laying on us if there wasn't any interest. If anything you have acquired an audience to this blog that are deep down true musicologists and enjoy sharing the music to this receptive audience. To be honest there is a good chunk of stuff I already have that I see posted and some stuff I really have no interest in, but I love coming here and seeing the one person that comments who is truly appreciative of finding something they haven't heard in a lifetime or have been looking for something forever and found it on your site. The comments from the community the whole experience keeps me coming back. That's priceless and that's a feeling every one of us here has felt at some time or another from your site here. Keep doing what you do! I thank you both for that.

Happy Hooligan said...

I also miss the bonus posts - over time I probably downloaded more from this section than the headline acts. The difference between the effort that RYP & Gyro put into this site and the spamming of random files that dominate the comments these days can be summed up as curation. I really appreciate their thoughtful posting and the amount of effort they put into tagging etc and I guess that this is the main reason why everyone comes here. There's a big difference between this and just reposting the half-arsed work of others without context and it would be a shame if this caused RYP & Gyro to pull the pin.

Aging Child said...

@ButterBoy: Thank you for the Steely Dan. A lot of my own back-then memories - heart-makers and heart-breakers - are intertwined with their music. RIP, Walter.

RYP, Gyro I haven't much to share or even say anymore. I am always amazed by the knowledge and catalogues of music you share. I still visit at least every other day. I have been schooled in some really cool world music from luis, aging child has helped my jazz standards collection and has me ready to re-read The Anatomy of Jazz by Ostransky.
RYP and Gyro or someone in the TZ community have provided most everything I have listened to in the last three years which is how long I have been baking and providing cookies and banana bread to the urban backpackers in my hometown. I have also been DJ for them for about an hour and a half 3 days a week and together we have heard
Gospel, Funk, Soul, World, Surf, Twang and more. Gyro and The Northern Soul Madman taught my that I do like soul. ...Dad has called me 3 times at this point and he is 90 and my job, so I will sign off, but no one should feel unappreciated and though people are sharing all sorts of things... it is more thank-you than ego.

luis said...

For me writing about the actual (and past) muddle of comment page on Tz isn't easy
being one of main contributor to the situation.
sure i'm not very happy in contribuiting actively to the Ryp "disamoramento" (lack of interest and or love) toward TZ.

if Ryp is interested (the problem is always the hard work he must do with the gestion of messagges)
I want try to propose
the creation of a daily blank post (i'm not very good on naming stuff) without music in where all people interested can share their music and make their own request or anything else as software problem etc. A sort of post links and request (or for the nostalgic willardians of Borl).
Sure all user other than RYp and Gyro will be kindly invited to post their requests and links here.
In other world the usual mess only translated in one post with the relevance that now will be more clear the difference between the music offered by Gyro (official post and bonuses) and Ryp and the offering by other contributor.

Hi!

Everyone has already said "it". It's an AMAZING Blog! Kinda' like an old record store....You look (scrounge)through what's there & collect what you want/like/discover. Many a time one picks up an LP "just because...". Blog has enable a personal expansion in "new/unknown" music (much of it 80's & beyond), LUV it collections, & many others. THANX! (a VERY BIG one). "Old" posting so hope someone reads this.

@ Luis,
Good thoughts you suggest. I agree with your comments.I may just work.

I guess its up to RYP and Gyro how that would develop a better , more uplifting system for themselves and the TZ community.
Willard site did this very successfully.

Aging Child said...

@Bucephallus and @MuddyW: I appreciate your warm words (plus the further Lead Belly). ...And given the honest look we've all been giving the TZ community, last few days, I feel uncomfortable even thanking you, when our gratitude really must go to RYP and Gyro, founders and guardians of this site, and its community.

We're forever indebted to the musicians who gave us the huge array of sound to discover and listen to and share... and we owe much as well to RYP and Gyro for opening their big basement for us to get together in.

They're truly rare in being so accommodating, and in even giving thought to some of our ideas and perspective on this big warm basement. (Signore Luis, your idea for how to keep the basement tidy, and free of disamoramento, is excellent!)

I'm ready to do whatever R&G might need of us to keep this a happy, rockin' basement.

Cheers!

Little Richard has so much material that the casual listener would be AMAZED at the catalogue! He was SO much more than the R&R hits.

We come in, see something we like and take it. We share our tastes, our collections, our recommendations. Gyro and Ryp, you two are the trusted guys behind the counter. You are the ones who deem things worthy to share, therefore we trust you. You allow regulars to hang out and share their knowledge too. The only things missing are records playing in the background and maybe a two hour "browser" who smells of sweat and Doritos. As long as the store is open, I will continue to stop by.

Much respect - John

I would also love if there were a separate post for user shares. I love the shares, but don't want to read the comments for every single post that I'm not interested in, so I'm sure I miss shares that I would love to get.
