Daily Jam - Golgotha Tenement Blues

Over 30 years later, and the soundtrack to "The Crow" still whips.  I was 15 when it came out, and it's stayed with me since.  Here's Machines of Loving Grace's contribution.  Listen to "Golgotha Tenement Blues" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Slip Slide Melting

A staple of my 9th and 10th grade listening and beyond, the soundtrack to "The Crow" is one of those CD's (it was the '90s) that i know by heart from front to back.  Every song is a winner.  And i jammed "Slip Slide Melting" by Oklahoma band For Love Not Lisa all the time, even as i've never heard a single other track by them.  Anyway, check out some '90s alt-rock below for our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - After the Flesh

It's been 27 years and i'm still a sucker for "The Crow" soundtrack.  Some things never change.  Here's My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and "After the Flesh," our Daily Jam.

Record Store Day 2019 Recommendations

We're just over a week away from one of my favorite days of the year, and probably the only one where i openly embrace overt capitalism and commerce.  You know what i'm talking about.  It's almost Record Store Day.  Anyway, keeping up with what i've done the last few years, here are a handful of recommendations for you to keep in mind if you go out into the melee.

Francois de Roubaix - "Les Levres Rouges" 7"
Also known as "Daughters of Darkness," an erotic French vampire film from 1971, this 7" release features a couple of song's from Francois de Roubaix's score.  And it's an intoxicating listen.

Aaron Lupton and Jeff Szpirglas - "Blood on Black Wax" HC Book
Weirdly enough, my next recommendation is a book from a couple of "Rue Morgue" magazine writers about horror soundtracks.  This one is right up my alley, tackling old school releases as well as the wave of reissues over the last 10 years.  And, this RSD special edition of the book comes with a 7" record featuring music from Paul Zaza, Carl Zittrer, and some disco tunes originally featured in "Prom Night."  I'm stoked for this one.  Shake your booty to "Love Me Til I Die" below.

Green Jelly - "Cereal Killer" LP
This one is just me wanting to feel like an immature, snot nosed teenager again, as the silly and grimy punk jams of Green Jelly's "Cereal Killer" were a big part of my early adolescence.

"The Crow" OST LP
While the movie has really not held up, i still love the soundtrack as much now as i did when i was 15 years old.  At the time, it was an amazing allotment of '90s alt-rock bands slinging new tunes or deep cuts, and that lineup is still stellar 25 years later.  And i think you could make a pretty solid argument that "Burn" is the best Cure song of anything post-"Disintegration."

Sunn O))) - "Life Metal" LP
New music from experimental drone doom metal band Sunn O))) is always something to get behind, and this time around, the band's latest "Life Metal" gets an early release on Record Store Day.  Hazaa!  Check the preview.



So there you go.  There are plenty of other great releases to try and score (The Charlatans, "Twin Peaks" season 2 soundtrack, Alice Clark, etc.), but these five are the ones i can't wait to get my grubby little hands on.  Check the full list here and have fun everybody!
