someones lovliest vinyl, part unknown (but lasting for an hour)

Now, for a change, if i had any abilities in mastering things like Photoshop or whatever clever tools these fancy guys in media and advertising companies use – would i end up with this? Oh yes, i would. But now i take an hour off and watch it full blast!

Radio Soulwax presents HARDCORE OR DIE:
We can’t pretend to have been huge hardcore punk fans at the time, but have grown to love it now, with help from some friends but most of all from Steve, our drummer. Using their records and his tapes (of local hardcore radio shows from northern France), we tried to give you our take on 80s hardcore. Some people might feel it’s not very respectful, but listen, those guys take themselves way too seriously and by cutting it up the way we did, we feel we have kept to the original spirit and energy of the music. This show contains some of the best sleeves yet on RSWX.
Concept : Soulwax and Fergadelic
Animation/Editing : Nuno Costa

And now you do the same!

And, quel surprise, the creators are from … Belgium. Damn Belgium.

my loveliest vinyl, part 14
Wipers – Over The Edge (Trap Records 8.98, 1983)

Time warp again, and back to the US and back up the coast from LA to Portland, OR. This came accros quite differently but caught the ear: strong, sturdy guitarplay and real emotional voals – and it was DIY although we did not know it back then. And, eventualy, it was a one-man show (also not known back then) but who the fuck cared? This was different from early HC and the speedy stuff we just discovered from out there – here is the verdict:

1977 – yes, this is true 1977 DIY!
published by a cool lable – DIY on his own TRAP Records (later re-issues by Braineater, Enigma and others)
found in a cool shop – Konneckschen, where else back then?
catching sound – driving and sturdy guitar play and building up to great choruses!
not too bad words – often dark and depressing but getting the message accross, great and simple words make it work.

Read yourself:
```
It's not the truth I seek
It's just a mockery
Don't need to waste my time
You know I've really tried
You take and never give
It get's so hard to live
I'm hangin on a ledge
Pushed straight over the edge
Don't do the thing's you do
Don't have to oblige you
Makin choises on my own
Don't buy their trite, and drone
Grow up and be a man
Drop dead right where I stand
I hangin on a ledge
Pushed straight over the edge

Back then this LP was played many times and sure made it onto a C-60 for my Walkman!

And this is lonley Greg 1983, live, in Portland @ 13th Precint – introduced by the humble Pig Champion (of Poison Idea fame – r.i.p.):

my lovliest vinyl, part 666

Kvelertak – Kvelertak (Indie Recordings CD049, 2010)

Now this time of the year we need to be more concious – so fuck vinyl, this is CD only. And the band is currently on tour in Germany but not playing Hamburg, damn it. I got accross this lovely beast from Norway via the movie “The Troll Hunter” (a “fantasy/horror movie” in the form of a mock documentary from lovely Norway, but this ain’t a place for movies) and they realy rock. And the video to the song they did lend to “The Troll Hunter” also is quite nice – gore gallore! They rock with 3 guitars (!) and blend some fresh black metal into hardcore punk’n’roll. I’d say they took a crossing that Turbonegro walked by in ignorance. And with me, that was a wrong decission by the Turbo guys!

1977 – far from, but speed, speed and speed (and sure 3 axes) make it work!
published by a cool lable – no clue, but an independent metal lable from Norway. Mhhh?
found in a cool shop – no vinyl and modern times, via the Internet (damn Internet)!
catching sound – that the decisive one – their sound. best quote: “their dirty power-chord progression produces aural orgasm instead of disappointment”!
not too bad words – fuck, it’s norweigan. i speak a bit danish, that does not help. it’s screams anyway to me!.

Another comment i did find on this one is “this is live music bottled” and yes, indeed it feels like that. In that fashion, they also offered a limited Kvelerbeer “KVELERBRÄU” (“made out of honey and hate and on Halloween 2011“) with (sic!) 6,66% alcohol:
