Dirty Sheets: The Manic Low - Songs For An Up Day (Moonlight Graham Records, 2012)
http://dirtysheetszine.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-manic-low-songs-for-up-day.html
Rock reviews from Gunther, Josh, Angie, and guests. Friday, February 8, 2013. The Manic Low - Songs For An Up Day (Moonlight Graham Records, 2012). Currently, the only T.S.O.L. (Does anyone other than Poindexter punks refer to the band as True Sounds Of Liberty? Disc in my pile marked "Stars 'N Stripes Punk" is the horror-informed. Follow-up and proved to be a prized pupil in the Morrison/Astbury/Danzig after-school choir. Elsewhere, the oft-jangly guitar propulsion suggested a trade involving Grisha...

Dirty Sheets: January 2012

Rock reviews from Gunther, Josh, Angie, and guests. Saturday, January 28, 2012. The Jellybricks- Soapopera (Rite-Off, 1999). Planet Music (OK, it's been called fye for years, but I prefer to reference the place by its former name) in Virginia Beach produced some interesting finds in the 2-for-$3.00 bin last Sunday (1/22/2012). I'd seen Lava Love's. In discounted piles for nearly a decade without taking it to the register. What an idiot move! Was the one I bit on BACK IN THE DAY (TM), but. Might've only c...

Rock reviews from Gunther, Josh, Angie, and guests. Saturday, January 19, 2013. The Black Beauties - Catch A Beat (Full Breach Kicks, 2006). Joe bellowed. "It practically sells itself," said the leader of the laughing trio. "Now, get out of here! Once inside the cramped quarters, several interesting pieces caught his eye as potential trades for the pulled portion. A "gold"-plated disc from The Electric Kisses was nicely framed . and autographed by Mike Frame! Two "Grammy" statuettes signified "wins" for ...

Dirty Sheets: The Figgs - Lo-Fi At Society High (Imago, 1994)
http://dirtysheetszine.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-figgs-lo-fi-at-society-high-imago.html
Rock reviews from Gunther, Josh, Angie, and guests. Monday, April 29, 2013. The Figgs - Lo-Fi At Society High (Imago, 1994). The Figgs have released 11 full-length albums over their 26 year history, and honestly you can't go wrong with any of them. But if I encountered hostile visitors from another planet and had to convince them of The Figgs' unequivocal greatness in order to save the world from obliteration, the album I'd play for them first is the band's 1994 major label debut. The band's brilliantly ...

Dirty Sheets: October 2011
http://dirtysheetszine.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Rock reviews from Gunther, Josh, Angie, and guests. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Buzzcocks - Trade Test Transmissions (Castle Communications, 1993). Luckily, I have seen these Mighty Men from Manchester twice on stages away from the Tidewater area. Exchanges were of the "I wish the Buzzcocks would hurry up and play already! And "Autonomy" (their most metallic track? In the flesh more than made up for the eternal wait outside and obvious questions from panhandlers. Cuts from Modern. Sprite bottle while he wa...

Dirty Sheets: Velvet Elvis - s/t (Enigma, 1988)
http://dirtysheetszine.blogspot.com/2013/05/velvet-elvis-st-enigma-1988_22.html
Rock reviews from Gunther, Josh, Angie, and guests. Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Velvet Elvis - s/t (Enigma, 1988). At a cut rate. Who knew that the third choice in the bag would become my favorite one of the trio? Pleased To Meet Me. These days, Elvis impersonators are all velvet ropes and posture. I don't know about you, but I prefer to kick back and relax with the album reviewed above. Oops! I just spilled a tall glass of iced tea. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Not So Mundane Monday.

Dirty Sheets: March 2013
http://dirtysheetszine.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Rock reviews from Gunther, Josh, Angie, and guests. Friday, March 8, 2013. Monrovia - News EP (self-released, 2012). Those who don't know history will unknowingly repeat it. The twitchy "Atlas Shrugged" covers both sides of the faded coin ("Creation wasn't born when your ancestors pushed you out the door/Keep crackin' open bottles so your wisdom ends up passed out on the floor"). I've got 500 channels." pitches the cable package on "Stand Up." You can keep your Kim Kardashian and. Not So Mundane Monday.

Dirty Sheets: February 2012

Rock reviews from Gunther, Josh, Angie, and guests. Friday, February 17, 2012. Ruts- The Crack (Virgin, 1979). Out of all the punk bands to come out of England in the 1970s, Ruts in my opinion remain the most underappreciated. In fact, if I had to name the ten best U.K. punk bands. Ruts would easily make that star-studded list. Seriously, who was better? The Clash, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, Damned? Probably. X-Ray Spex? Kicks off with a bang. “Babylon’s Burning” is an anthem if there ...But it doesn’...
