GUIDED BY VOICES’S CLASSIC SAME PLACE THE FLY GOT SMASHED GETS RE-ISSUED THIS WEEK!!!

Originally released in 1990, Same Place The Fly Got Smashed was Guided by Voices’ fourth album in as many years. Roughly a concept album about an alcoholic named Joker Bob who goes on a bender, someone dies, and Bob gets the chair (“the electrifying conclusion”). From the moment the needle drops, the listener is served notice that this isn’t going to be an easy listen, as an argument taped off of a TV cuts to a basement recording of a lone, blaring electric guitar with someone yelling over the top. But for those brave enough to pass the opening hazards, there are wonders within.This particular album has come to be held in higher and higher regard by fans, and they are correct to consider it a top-tier release. The story and sequence have a flow, and consideration for approachability is optional. Many of the crudest tracks reveal themselves as necessary stitches in the album’s tapestry. Yet it also contains all time greats like “Drinker’s Peace,” “Mammoth Cave,” the epic “Local Mix-Up/Murder Charge,” and of course “Pendulum” with it’s immortal opening line: “Come on over tonight, we’ll put on some Cat Butt and do it up right!”-a rare break in the clouds on one of the band’s darkest albums. This reissue, like the previous ones in this series, is a mostly faithful reproduction of the original pressing of 500 on the band’s own Rocket #9 label. And like the others, the virgin RTI vinyl is housed in a thick tip-on jacket, and includes Robert Pollard’s original handwritten lyric insert.

Clear with Orange Galaxy Vinyl. Boldy James and Belgian producer Your Boy Posca join forces to create a new sound within Boldy’s world of countless, yet quality, projects. With a classy, laid back approach of grimy soul samples and spooky 1980’s aesthetic, the tape flows flawlessly top to bottom as Boldy paints a unique portrait of a Midwest drug dealer. This is a vinyl/cassette exclusive release, so it’s not going to be on streaming minus one single.

POISON IDEA’S LEGENDARY “FEEL THE DARKNESS” GETS A NEW REISSUE WITH A NEW MIX!!! ONE OF THE BEST FAST HARDCORE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!!!

Some people STILL didn’t like the last mix so we took it the Jackpot Studios, Larry Crane, and he pushed the faders into the red. If this doesn’t blow yer top, you already dead, my friend! Poison Idea’s 1990 classic Feel The Darkness album has been remixed (again) and remastered and is now available on a double LP Set which also includes singles, B-sides, some choice covers and outtakes featuring the classic lineup of Jerry A, Pig Champion, Myrtle Tickner, Mondo and Thee Slayer Hippy. This is the one that gets the #1 album ranking by Poison Idea themselves. So good, that Kurt Cobain had the sticker on his guitar. A blend of Rock, metal and punk. We can’t stress how heavy this is.
