Fresh back from Vietnam in 1968 or 69, my uncle, a Bronx resident, fled the fireworks-heavy streets of Castle Hill on the Fourth and did all-nighters on 42nd St's grindhouse circuit. Did so for years after.

As may be obvious, today's show will consist entirely of private-press/small-label rock LPs that have been lurking in my basement.

Even in Portland, it never seems to rain on the 4th of July. Bring on torrential rains, I say....

Hi Tony and everyone. Got my swag yesterday, which was your premium. Not gotten through it yet, but the first third was tasty.

Not to play favorites or anything, but this Heresy record will be graduating to my upstairs record collection.
Avatar 12:49pm
Tony Coulter:

As will this Nexus. But I love all my records equally, even the deformed ones that must stay hidden in the basement.

Dean:

This is not the Canadian Nexus with which I'm kinda familiar.

Hey, Dean -- nope, it's not them. It's this thing: www.discogs.com...

aranj.
  1:18pm
Dean:

That lead-in applause makes me wonder: do you have any stand-up comedy records in the basement?
  1:18pm
Dean:

Henny Youngman or Steven Wright wannabes?
Avatar 1:19pm
Tony Coulter:

Yes! I have a bunch of comedy records down there.

The cover of this Offutt record is rather special: e.snmc.io...

One day you'll have to spin a track or two.

Ahoy, Glenn. Next time I have an itch I'll wish I had that thing handy.....

Unintentional comedy, that cover.

Proto-Rush, this Ore.
Avatar 1:23pm

Ore's vocalist is also a bit Ian Anderson-esque in spots.

As was...was it the Deric Langton last set?

listener james from westwood:

Killer basement tracks so far!

Tony Coulter:

Yep, Langton -- agreed re Anderson....

Thanks, James!!

This song, from a Portland group, is about a tattooed man being an outcast because of all his tattoos -- which is *hardly* the case here these days....

Now I'm recalling the "Misfits of Science" series that hit the airwaves right around this release, featuring a just-after-the-"Dancing in the Dark"-video Courtney Cox.
Avatar 1:39pm
Tony Coulter:

Interesting! Don't know that series....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:54pm

It was on for less than a season IIRC. A superhero series in all but name and spandex outfits.

Oddly, this Speed Limit song reminds me of Snakefinger....

I guess the update of this Rantz song would have to substitute smartphone for TV.

There's an image out there, a thumbnail with a bad URL, unable to shorten.
  2:34pm
Dean:

B&W, a triangle with a member wearing a hat at the apex, the vocalist at the middle of the base flanked by the other two caballeros?
Avatar 2:35pm
Tony Coulter:

Yep, that's the pic.

"The Bad URLs" would make a good band name....

And here they are again. Their blond vocalist looks like a miniature Mae West....

The track on now was written for some kind of cheapo horror movie (straight-to-video, I imagine).
