  1. El miércoles 25 de febrero les tocó a @LesRobots, una de esas bandas instrumentales que tocan con disfraz e instrumentos exóticos como el #theremin.

    Dignos de verse.

  3. Back in the 80s, all of my delinquent pals in the neighborhood were into a local surf-punk band called the Disturbed. (*not* the corny modern metal band of the same name.) They mostly played house parties, the local lowlife hangout in Trenton, and perhaps the more weirdo-tolerant eating clubs on the Princeton University campus.Their 1987 EP "Totalled Volvo" is a nostalgic favorite, despite the dopey sexism that occasionally wanders into the lyrics.

    But the thing I remember about them above all else is the hastily spraypainted "Disturbed" graffiti that either the band or one of their fans attempted to tag a derelict building across the lot from the Princeton Record Exchange with. In huge black letters, it read: "THE DISTU", leading everyone to speculate they'd either run out of paint mid-tag, or that the cops had chased them off before the small time criminal act was finished.

    The incomplete monument to these local goofballs lasted DECADES longer than the band itself did. It was finally painted over when the building was re-furbished around fifteen years ago. I still think of "THE DISTU" every time I go to the Record Exchange -- wish I had a photo of it, but this YouTube upload of the "Totalled Volvo" EP will have to suffice.

    I don't actually like their post-reformation releases, but I'm not usually a fan of releases by bands that reform after a long hiatus.

  7. I have my top 20 favorite records of 2024 almost sorted, which is good, since it's October. I've been going through the list, and there are a couple I haven't talked about here. This is one. Sux Sux Sux - their self titled debut. They used to be called Salami Sux and although that's amusing too, I'm glad they changed their name. 😂

    It's recorded all diy sounding, it's garage, punk, surf, CATCHY as hell, and over so fast you'll want more.
