Mudhoney - Touch Me I'm Sick (1988)

After the heady days of punk, when every 45 released seemed to be the most important thing in my life, there have since been only a handful of singles that have stopped me in my tracks and made me play over and over, trying to wring every note of musical information out of the tiny shaped piece of vinyl.

This is one of them.

Listen

Motorhead - Overkill

Well, once again it is New Years Eve. You might be going out, seeing people and friends or you might be staying in by yourself with a bottle of pills and a heart full of despair and loneliness - whatever you choose to do, this is the soundtrack to get you started.

Listen

Bad Brains - S/T (1982)

This is not what I had planned to post today but when I played it this morning, the urge to drive like an extra from Mad Max and shout a lot took me over.

Classic punk/hardcore from Washington DC which incorporated speed-metal riffs, biting vocals and lyrics, punk-dub rhythms which paved the way for countless other bands and arguably helped to pioneer American hardcore as we know it.
