Half Man

This is the Swedish band not the screamo one. Mostly bluesy, they got lumped into the "stoner" genre. I am posting two songs. One is a PJ Harvey cover that is really good. The other is just a rocker. I will also ask anyone who has any info on how I can buy this record let me know. All I see now is downloadable songs which I don't really like. It's the whole holding onto something that I pay for thing. Anyway, enjoy!

Lost In Aggression

This is one of my all time favorite local bands. My band used to open for them quite frequently. The guitar player , Mad Lee, is the only person I've ever seen who's right hand is so fast it actually is blurry. He is now in a band called "Mad Lee's Union". You should buy all his stuff. He is now selling this record on ebay. Oh and I didn't mention, He plays an original "silverburst" Gibson Les Paul. I've tried to get it off of him for years but he's too smart. Check out the side link to see it in all it's beauty.

Cannibal

This is a GREAT band called Scratch Acid. It contained David Yow who went on to form Jesus Lizard. I'm not a fan of Jesus Lizard but I LOVE Scratch Acid. I think it's because Yow's style was more freeform in Scratch Acid and more rigid in the latter.

Boiled Dove

This is a rare Butthole Surfer track. It can only be found on the "Smack My Crack" comp. The label is Giorno Poetry Systems Institute. It came out in 1987 and has a couple of really good tracks on it. I may get to posting some. I may not. But it also contains a GREAT Tom Waits track, a Nick Cave track, A William S Burroughs track and a Swans track.
