Primus - Sailing The Seas of Cheese (1991)

From wikipedia.com:

Sailing the Seas of Cheese is the second album and major-label debut by Primus, released on July 2, 1991.

Sailing the Seas of Cheese was Primus' breakthrough album, spawning singles "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" and "Tommy the Cat", and fan favorites such as "Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers" and "American Life".

This album displays more funk influence than its predecessor Frizzle Fry and is somewhat more dissonant. It stresses world and political issues, such as a negative depiction of military life ("Sgt. Baker"), awareness of people living in poverty ("American Life"), being an outcast ("Eleven"), and the use of crystal meth amongst low-income workers ("Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers"). "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" contains a sample from the movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 where the character 'Chop Top' exclaims "Dog will hunt!". "Los Bastardos" contains three samples from the BBC TV series The Young Ones of Vyvyan shouting "Shut up you bastards!", and two of Rick saying, "You just called me a bastard, didn't you?", and "Mike, you bastard!".

Golden Throats vol.1

Golden Throats Vol.1 - The Great Celebrity Sing Off.

Another "terrible covers by famous artists" compilation. This is the legendary one, though. The first one to deal with this nasty subject.

This album is like a serial killer making hostages in a primary school and slowly tearing up the pieces of little children. That's not even a metaphor, I mean that literally! For example, Sebastian Cabot's cover of "It Ain't Me Babe" is just dreadful, I don't even have words to describe what I feel for the people who actually recorded this shit.

"Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds"? Worthy of death penalty.
"House of the Rising Sun"? Heresy.

My favourite in dreadfulness is Mr. Tambourine Man, though. I don't know how to demonstrate the amount of horror in this version but showing you a picture of the guy who's singing(yes, he was a member of Star Trek):

"Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me."

Setlist:
1 - Leonard Nimoy - Proud Mary (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
2 - Sebastian Caboy - It Ain't me Babe (Bob Dylan)
3 - Eddie Albert - Blowin' in The wind (Bob Dylan)
4 - William Shatner - Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds (Beatles)
5 - Noel Harrison - A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum)
6 - Frankie Randall - I Can See For Miles (The Who)
7 - Jack Webb - Try a Little Tenderness (?)
8 - Mae West - Twist and Shout (famously recorded by The Beatles)
9 - Andy Griffith - House of The Rising Sun (Traditional?)
10 - William Shatner - Mr. Tambourine Man (Bob Dylan)
11 - Jim Nabors - You Are The Sunshine of My Life (?)
12 - Sebastian Cabot - Like a Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan)
13 - Joel Grey - White Room (Cream)
14 - Leonard Nimoy - If I Had a Hammer (?)

Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles (1993)

Mark Prindle's review of the album(which got a 10 in his rating system):
.

The coolest. The tempo-halting harmonic "gleeng gloong!"s in "Thermal Treasure," the queasy axe meanderings of a solo Mr. Ash in "My Kimono," the harmonic-laden rat-a-tat-a-tat chorus in "Sure Shot," the pick-tapping-string solos in "Stinger (Five Wigs)," the high-energy guitar swoops and clachunkas in "Action Vs. Vibe" (action wins by a longshot), the smash-em-up count-to-fives that close "Gemini Cusp" - crud, dude - these fellows had their thinking caps on. To rock so handily, yet screw around with the accepted usages of normal pop instruments and structure to such a degree: them Polvos, they's some thinking fellers!

.

Sonic in their youth, too!
.

Bad company? Polvo refuses to repeat itself, trying new styles and methods of play with each release. This one's my favorite because I feel like they offer up a slightly larger number of brilliant ideas in these ten songs than they do on any of their other records. Among the songs I haven't already mentioned, "Tilebreaker" is straight-ahead indie rock like on the debut EP, "Time Isn't On My Side" is a herky-jerky keyboard-driven toe-tapper, "Shiska" is short and punky like Glenn Danzig before the accident, and "Lazy Comet" goes from stupid kiddie singalong to unsteady lightweight destructo-change-o in less time than it takes for me to turn the volume up really really loud whenever that genius Sheryl Crow song "If It Makes You Happy" comes on the air - aww now you're speaking my language in the upstairs room. I love this album, this band, and my girlfriend, and I suggest you do the same.

.

Except for my girlfriend. Asshole.

Setlist:
01 - Thermal Treasure
02 - Lazy Comet
03 - My Kimono
04 - Sire Shot
05 - Stinger (five wigs)

The Seeds - Discography

At the same day Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died, also died one of the key figures in the underground of rock n' roll of all times: Mr. Sky Saxon, vocalist and leader of The Seeds.

The Seeds is one of the most cherished (and obscure) bands of the 60's garagerock movement. They are mainly known by their two hits: Can't Seem to Make You Mine(that the Ramones covered) and Pushin' Too Hard(one of the friggin best rock songs of all times).

At first sight, they might seem a bit repetitive or amateurish, but if you turn your volume loud enough and, to quote one of their songs, "let yourself go": you'll understand why Jesvs Cristvs has such a special love for this band.

They released 3 main studio albuns. Two rough-and-straight garagerock records in 1966 and a hilarious attempt of sounding psychedelic(that i'm-not-sure-how worked!) in 1967.

1966 - The Seeds
Highlights: Pushin' Too Hard, No Escape and Evil Hoodoo. The three songs are basically the same but they all rock hard enough to transcend plagium. Can't Seem to Make you Mine is great too.

1966 - Web of Sound
Definitely the stupendou Up In Her Room, a 14-minute jam with ONE CHORD. Marvelous, one of my favourite songs ever.

1967 - Future

Flower Lady and Her Assistance and Fallin'. It's hilarious how they try to sound psychedelic but end sounding so amateurish that the record turns out to be great.

Ween - The Mollusk (1997)

.............Good Lord, that's a hard album to summarize.
Ween are a wonderful duo that started creating weird joke-tunes in 1990. Releasing a bunch of very good and diverse albuns, they finally reached their creativity peak in 1997, with this album: The Mollusk.

.............It's hard to say if those songs are joke-songs or serious. For example, "The Blarney Stone" emulates a pirate drinking song, "Mutilated Lips" is a spooky-ballad with a dark tone, "Buckingham Green" sounds like a 70's progressive rock song, "Waving my Dick in The Wind" is... well... it talks about waving a guy named Dick in the wind. I'm not sure what that means, though.

.............Markprindle.com gave it a 10. George Starostin gave it a 10. Allmusic gave it 4,5 stars.

Secret Chiefs 3

This is one of the most amazing bands I've discovered this whole year.
The thing is they aren't just one band, but at least 7 different bands recording under the same name(and a weird one): Secret Chiefs 3.

It's unbelievable how they can play so many different musical styles and mix them together in individual albums. "Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws", from 1998, for example, starts with a classical piece, jumps to a Surf-rock craze and a few minutes later you'll be listening to Arabic-Persian music with electric guitars.

"Book M" goes in the same vein, with lyrics rambling about Hinduism and Mysticism, they manage to put Death-metal near to Indian music followed by Ennio Morricone-like songs and electronica experiments.

"Traditionalists: Le Mani DeStre Recise Degli Ultimi Uomini" is a different record, though. It doesn't contain all the bands that form SC3 but only one of them: Traditionalists. The whole concept of this album is amazing: it's a fake soundtrack to an italian horror movie that doesn't exist. If you like B-Horror Movies, you'll love this.

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra - Government Magic

Do you know Afrobeat? This term was coined back in the 70's in Africa, the style is probably the better thing Africa has ever created recently. It combines FUNK and JAZZ with african tribal rhytms and the result is an hypnotic dancing groove that will make your mind blow.

Antibalas is a great afrobeat contemporary band from the USA. The guys take all those african influences(specially Fela Kuti) and give it an americanized charm.

This video will show a bit of how is their sound:

Rough Guide to Indonesia

From allmusic.com:

Like most releases in the Rough Guide series, this compilation provides a solid overview of the music of a particular region, but Indonesia's musical traditions are probably among the least well-known in the West. World music aficionados may be familiar with the gamelan orchestras for which the region has become known, but this 15-song CD exposes the broad diversity of sounds you might expect from a country with over 550 ethnic groups spread across more than 17,500 islands. From the traditional gamelan and throbbing percussion of CBMW's folksy "Sambasunda" and the lilting guitar picking and melancholy vocals of Grup Bamba Puang's "Los Quin Tallu-Tallu" to the more modern, Indian- and Arabic-influenced pop sounds of artists like Elvy Sukaesih and her former partner, Rhoma Irama, The Rough Guide to Indonesia provides an accessible introduction to some very unfamiliar musical traditions.

Golden Throats Vol. 4: Celebrities Butcher Songs of The Beatles

Following the success of our last post(the bizarre cover versions of On The Rocks Pt.1), I now present to you another pearl of musical failure: Golden Throats Vol.4 - Celebrities Butcher Songs of The Beatles.

Who would be dumb enough to mix the theme from Mission:Impossible with Norwegian Wood?! A cover of Michelle sang by a dutch prostitute?! Joe Pesci singing Beatles?!? A ridiculous dramatic interpretation of Lucy in The Sky? "Don't Let me Down" sang by a girl who probably killed a man?

Only a few of these covers are extremely bad, they are beatles songs afterall. As bad as these singers are, it's almost impossible to make a bad song out of a Beatles one. In that sense, we got to praise Telly Savalas for managing to transform Something into a kitschy sugary mess that would make even Jesus cringe.

............................Congratulations, Telly. You're the man.

Ultralounge - On The Rocks pt.1

This extremely FUNNY compilation ensembles the most bizarre and stupid covers ever made by well-known artists of famous rock classics. Most of these tunes are ridiculous easylistening versions of classics like "Light My Fire" or "A Hard Day's Night" directed towards the more square and conservative public.

A Joe Strummer Tribute

As a great fan of The Clash and Joe Strummer, I decided to make this post in the honor of his birthday that's coming August 21th. After the breakup of the band, Strummer began trying to find his true self again, the true self he had lost in the past years with the Clash.In that period he wrote a bunch of soundtracks for movies. In 1999, in an attempt to come back to real music, Strummer creates Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. Jesvs Cristvs has uploaded two albums from this band and another two CD's of his soundtracks just for you, my faithful brother!
Como um grande fã de Clash e Joe Strummer, resolvi fazer esse post em honra ao seu aniversário que vem dia 21 de Agosto. Depois que a banda acabou, Joe tentou se encontrar na vida denovo, então começou a compor trilha sonoras de filmes. Ele não queria fazer isso para sempre, então ele decidiu tocar música de verdade denovo. Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros era o nome da sua última banda e eu fiz o upload de 2 álbuns dela e mais 2 CD's da suas trilhas só para você, meu caro irmão!

Jorge Ben - Africa Brasil

One of the best brazilian albuns, surely one TOP10 record for my beloved country.

Jorge Ben mix samba with rock, funk with african music, mysticism with umbanda, and everything he could possibly imagine at the time. The result is such a colorful and fantastic experience that even Rod Stewart(yes, THAT Rod Stewart) has plagiarized one of his songs("Taj Mahal") in his song "Da Ya Think Im Sexy". As a result of the lawsuit, Stewart agreed to donate all his royalties from the song to UNICEF.

If you're interested in discovering Brazilian music, this record is a perfect start.

1 - Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)

2 - Hermes Trismegisto Escreveu
