  1. In March 1966, The Monks released their debut and sole album, "Black Monk Time".

    Five GIs, stranded in Germany, dressed in black, rope for ties, tonsured heads, and their brief foray into the heart of the charts, with their fierce proto-punk energy prefiguring a genre in the making.

    - "We're going to make records ... good ones.
    We're gonna be anti-beatles.
    People need an anti-beatle."

    1001 Albums You Need To Hear Before You Die.
    I just rated number 900, so it feels like getting into the end stages now. One album per day, short breaks on the holidays, so I've been going for about 3 years. The generator uses all version of the book, so I've got about 200 albums to go still.

    Since the last update, about 8 months ago:

    * Never heard them before, how awesome is this?: #themonks #drive_like_jehu
    * Never realised how much I like them: #echo_and_the_bunnymen , #sonicyouth
    * I liked this before, this is still excellent: #CocteauTwins , #tomwaits , #nickcave
    * This really isn't for me: #emersonlakeandpalmer , #steelydan , #pil

    According to the stats, my favourite sub-genres are:
    Post-Rock ( #sigurros , #tortoise , #talktalk )
    Industrial ( #nineinchnails , #laibach , #atomizer , #pereubu )
    Zolo(?) (Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, XTC, King Crimson)

    Favourite years: 1980, 1994, 2006

  8. niagaracollege.ca/insidenc/202 today is Sisters in Spirit national day of action for missing and murdered Indigenous people. I remember my two-spirit cousin who was kicked out of their rural Newfoundland home when they were still a young teen. They were driven out for being queer. I was only a little kid when it happened and was horrified that a family could treat their kid like this. I always liked my cousin, though I cannot remember their name. They were nice to me and introduced me to new and exciting music. I remember them playing “Drugs in My Pockets’ by The Monks for me. I have no idea what ever became of them. I hope they are ok. They are forever missing for me, but at least I can listen to this song and remember them. #homophobia #TwoSpirit #SistersInSpirit #MMIWg2ST #TheMonks #1970s

  10. The group behind today's #MusicalOffering was way ahead of their time. My mind was boggled when I heard this for the first time. I'd feel bad for not having heard of them before the mid 90s, but they didn't have a _US_ release until 1994. I hope that if you listen to this you will be as blown away as I was when I found out this was originally released in 1966! The Monks were punk a decade too early!

  11. Thinking together "The Monks" and "Minor Threat". Similar in attitude and sound, only 23 years and a whole punk revolution apart. #Music #Punk #Postpunk #MinorThreat #TheMonks
