Gang of Four - Return the Gift

Oh man, the name almost became true. Well, not even since 3 posts over like a month isn't really a "burst." I'm really going to try to keep updating though. I'm going to try and write more personal shit to like I planned on too. My next update is going to be another Dead Milkmen album (don't think I cream my jeans over the Dead Milkmen though) and I'll tell a fine anecodte about how I got into that band. I don't know why I didn't with the last one. In the meantime, here's the last Gang of Four album. I kinda admire them for saying "fuck it, we can't write good songs anymore!" In re-doing these old songs I think they actually improve on some of them as well, particularly "What We All Want" which is one of my favorite songs of all time.

The Dead Milkmen - Beelzebubba

This is another one of the few things in my CD collection that I think there's a small chance it might not have already been put on the internet. After I get done with those type things I'll just start re-posting stuff from other blogs where the links have gone dead. For now, here's Beelzebubba. It includes Punk Rock Girl but other than that it's actually good. RC's Mom and Sri Lanka Sex Hotel are my favorites. Then there's Stuart (you probably know it as "What the Queers Are Doing to the Soil), one of the band's few songs that's both well known and decent.

The Psychedelic Furs - The Psychedelic Furs

I haven't seen this one on any other blogs. Maybe that's just because it's hard to search for self titled albums though. Still, this upload is all nice and shit, 192 kps with some crappy Martin Hannett produced bonus tracks and everything. The whole album is very PiL, both in sound and in anti-religious lyrics. I'm more of fan of their later stuff but this is a fairly good album.

I'm posting the link in a comment because I think that makes it less likely to get deleted. Does it?

45 Grave - Autopsy

I've had this blog for a couple of months but I just yesterday figured out how to update it. Hopefully the name will become ironic but it will probably just come to ring true like it does with most blogs. I'm a big fan of the Commercial Zone, Punk Not Profit, Only In It For the Music, Hangover Heart Attack, PunchDrunk, etc. but most of those sites just use descriptions from All Music Guide and such. I'm going to be a bit more personal. My first post is 45 Grave's posthumous hardcore compilation Autopsy. This is ripped from the actual CD so it's different than the version that's been floating around on other blogs. For one, the track order is way different. More importantly, it has the studio version of Dream Hits as opposed to live version from Only the Good Die Young that was for some reason substituted on those other uploads. Also, it has a really shitty soundscape version of Party Time. The single version (a bonus track from Sleep in Safety) that was incorrectly substituted is actually better in this case but this is the way the artists wanted you to hear it!
