Nostromo

I found this S/T indie release on cassette (Holy Grail label, 1989), with just two songs on each side. The label was based in Austin, Texas, and I found out through a Google search that guitarist Tommy Mack was also in a band called Wasted Faith and went on to tour with Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies. He is now with a Country Rock group called the Lifters. The Young Thunder sound is really hard with Van Halen-esque guitars and enraged Tom Keifer style vocals. I'd like to know if this tape was their only release. Can't find any discography here at HH.

I hit a few places in the Rehoboth Beach area, first was CD & Record Traders in RB, one of the first times I went in a cd store store and didn't find or leave with anything, the second store was in one of the outlet centers called Music for A Song, again not a thing. The next day was a bit better, we hit a flea market in Laruel, Delaware picked up both Badlands cd's: S/T & Voodoo Hwy.

Babylon AD cds: s/t & Nothing Sacred

Implellitteri "Stand in Line"

Steelheart "Tangled in Reins"

Tora Tora "Surprise Attack"

Lillian Axe "Poetic Justice"

Love/Hate "Wasted in America"

Icon "Right Between the Eyes"

Killer Dwarfs "Big Deal' & Dirty Weapons......Price was 3 for $5.00

 

Along Route 50 in Easton, Maryland I hit a little shack called Jack Rabbit Music, with no ac or fans the tempature had to be around 90 degrees, which was about the age of the old lady behind the counter in a rocking chair. Piles & piles of cassettes & lps, not many cd's, pick up around 10 cassettes, they had a cool DC STAR picture lp, I almost bought, but they wanted 40 bucks for it. Great place to dig around, but with the wife in the car and the heat in the place, I had to do a quick look around.....

I had to laugh when I read your post ZRock. I made this same circuit back in '06 when I was living in Northern Virginia. I too found zilch in those two Rehoboth Beach stores. In Easton, I just happened to catch sight of that Rabbit Music store and pulled over. Felt sorry for that old lady running the place, so I bought an Argent, Best Of CD, just to brighten her day. Overall, my best find was in a pawn shop on the Delaware side of the Bay Bridge. Snagged Boulevard's self-titled release and a copy of Slick moon's "Stay the Night."

Thanks, everyone. Yeah, that line "Take your chance!" is riotous. Like you're playing the slots in Vegas.

He or she is in Austria and selling some very tempting CDs. Zero feedback though, and the scans of the discs are inconsistent, making me wonder if they've merely been swiped from previous auctions.

I hate it when they display the CDs right next to the lawn mowers or other equipment reeking of gasoline. Squinting and kneeling on the floor is all the more unpleasant when you're gagging on fumes.

REACH Beyond The Past - Cast Of Shadows

Slogged through thousands of CDs and LPs in the Austin, Texas, area this weekend.

DIRTY RHYTHM - HARD AS A ROCK

D'PRIEST - PLAYA DEL ROCK

LPs:

MARTIN BRILEY - FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

FIREFALL - MIRROR OF THE WORLD

TIM BUCKLEY - STARSAILOR original 1970 pressing

Diesel - Watts In a Tank CD w/"Sausalito Summernight"

Billy Squier - Signs Of Life CD

Some fair CD finds this weekend. It obviously pays to revisit McKay's.

Icon - Night of the Crime

Vanity 6 - S/T (Prince related)

Sparks

Purchased the LP for BLACK ROSE - Walk It How You Talk It.

I wish it was the CD of course (ebay average $106), but at least now I can listen to the tracks on the cheap, as the LP was only $8. I can also check for backmasking.

Adam Bomb

TRAIN In Vain - The Clash

Found these two indies:

North Sar - Where We Danced

Gypsy - In The City

Only North Sar has a HH entry, but no comments. Wish I could find out more about these groups.

.... all lovers are deranged.

 

David Gilmore

Correct!

Use It Or LOSE It - The Cauze

Okay, so who knows this one:

 

'The first time that I saw you

Your face glowed in the lights

A face that seemed to call me to my future paradise

I felt some words after three nights

I thought our souls touched

I watched you when you sleep

Now have I gone too far?'

A 'Whisper' of a song by some very 'Vain' blokes. Whoops! Bubbasmama beat me to it.

Hows about:

"It takes a fool to phone a fool

When both have said it all

We make the rule, bemoan the rule

That neither one should call

But love that was

Is love that is

Demands to always be unchanged

But then ___ ______ ___ ________"

Hint: :wub: =

"Don't you think it's funny that if I grab a woman's ass and she punches me, she's fighting for her rights, but if a faggot grabs my ass and I punch his lights out, I'm a homophobe?"

Parker (Benicio del Toro) in THE WAY OF THE GUN

... if you played with these:

... after lunch at school, you and your buds would form a circle in the courtyard, and you'd all be wearing penny loafers and boat shoes, so as to have an edge playing with this little guy.

...now how 'bout this one:

 

My pain is measured by a sky that's old and gray

A misty morning I awoke to find it's much too late

Pieces of time they keep falling down on me

"October Morning Wind" - Union

Awwww the hint gave it away.

 

Diesel - Sausulito Summer Nights (Have I spelt that right??) from the album Watts in a Tank. I used to have it years ago but since been sold...Might have to buy it again as that song was pretty great.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Correct, Nick! Minxx is correct too. The song is "Ice Age" by Spys, the band spearheaded by Foreigner defectors Al Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi.

I feel unworthy of posting since I didn't get Geoff's brainteaser. Can't let this thread die though. How about:

"We left for Frisco in your Rambler

The radiator running dry

I've never been much of a gambler

and had a preference to fly

You said 'forget about the airline,

let's take the car and save the fare'

We blew a gasket on the Grapevine

and eighty dollars on repairs"

Hint: Not Unleaded but....

I've been agonizing over this for a week now. I'm guessing it's from an indie release. Can anyone provide closure?

Congrats, Nick! Nelson did a cover of the tune on their '99 Life album. Anyone remember the original, recorded by The Producers back in the early 80s?
