Primitive Sound System & DJ SummerLivesOn! at D.C.'s Tavern - 10PM to Closing

Hello Y'all,

It seems like forever since the last time I DJ'd at D.C.'s.  Since the last time I have embarked on a a project: "The Gap Sealer."

I love buying records.  I love looking through records.  And sometimes I love looking through piles and piles of unsorted records for hours without stopping for something to eat, drink or even a bathroom break.  If you walk away someone may find that one record you were looking for.  It is an obsession and could probably be classified as a disease.  Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I have never made or carried around a real want list.  If it was a record I knew about and really wanted I would simply remember it.  This "system," left several gaps in my collection.  But, since I did buy what I like and only kept what I loved; the collection did have an over-all focus.  Like I have said before, every record collection should be a portrait or biography of the owner; I hope my collection is just that.  Despite that, the gaps exist, and sometimes I would fall deep inside them and wonder why they existed.  Some of the gaps were created at a time when I focused on Funk, Soul, R&B and Jazz purchases.  At that point I needed to free up shelf and 45 box space as well as have cash to buy what I wanted.  Most of the Hip Hop 12-inches went as well as a lot of Punk 45s.  My rationalization for selling the 7-inches was that I had LPs by those bands and I could still enjoy their music.  Same for the Hip-Hop but unfortunately I did not have as many LPs to cover all the music I needed to clear out.  To this day my Hip Hop collection is definitely not what it should be.  I have recently re-purchsed some of them but I don't think I will ever be able to get back or afford what I had.

Ironically the Punk records have not increased in value like other genres.  My brother and I were recently joking that it is more Punk to just get the music that inspires you then own it on an OG 45 or LP.  It isn't very Punk to be buying these up now but maybe this is how old Punk and Hardcore kids go through a mid-life crisis.  Regardless of the reasons, the inspiration came when I had the opportunity to go through the sale boxes of my buddy Justin.  Justin is know to the world as - CollectorScum (http://www.collectorscum.com).  It would appear that Justin has more records to sell, than he does in his personal collection.  So his philosophy is, buy collections and rare records for cheap, sell them quickly so that you have deep pockets to buy the rarest of the rare records.  His collection is fucking beautiful.  I have seen hundreds of collections in person and possibly thousands, if you count books and online, and I must say, none of them can compare to the focus, quality and organization of his.  It is inspirational.  It will also make you feel as if you have never looked through a single bin of records in your life… ever.  You would be lucky to recognize, know or own even an eighth of what he has.

Fully inspired and ready to go, I sat down and wrote my first real want list.  Turns out it was surprisingly easy.  First off, I needed to complete my Buzzcocks and The Fall 7-inches which I sold because, as I rationalized, I had them on LP.  It pained me at the time to do it and it kills me to even think about it now.  Buzzcocks is now complete and I need one more Fall record.  I am not a completist, I usually have a year that I cut bands off and that was true for both bands.  This cut-off goes for all bands.  It is no different from saying I love Star Wars, but in my world the last three don't even count, they don't exist.  It is few and far between that bands can rally years after they were no longer relevant.  One such band was Mission of Burma but that is a whole other story.  Next came, Sham 69, Stiff Little Fingers and The Ruts.  I considered these the low hanging fruit so I wasn't surprised to be able to knock them off easily.  There were also items on the list that someone either stole the insert or the insert had gotten lost over the years.  I still have these LPs and 45s so the priority isn't high, but i am tired of saying, "It used to have the insert."  One of those is my Minor Threat "Out Of Step" with the black back cover.  I bought it for $3 in a garage sale when I was in High School.  The insert was a letter sized sheet, later pressings have a larger one.  If you took mine, fuck you!  This goes for my Adolescents LP as well.  If you took that one as well, I will have to kick your ass but gladly I can say that is not replaced. 

Other records on the list are ones that I never came across a copy or heard it and loved it, but never pursued it for one reason or another.  I was explaining to someone recently that before computers, the internet, eBay or Discogs you were pretty much at the mercy of what was available in the bins of your local stores or any store you were lucky enough to go to.  If you didn't get it locally you could contact the label and see if you could get a copy but sometimes you were just plain SOL.   This would include the e.p.s by The Worst and Urban Waste.  I love these records and saw the bands but never bought the records.  In some cases the records were already long gone by the time I found out they even had a record available.  Years passed, tastes change, and I was searching for different records and sounds.  I recently went through my entire collection, carefully trimming the fat.  I called up my friend Jeff who has a shop in Brooklyn (Black Gold Records - http://blackgoldbrooklyn.com) and brought them to him.  With the money he gave me I immediately bought up more records on the list.  I have been trimming and pruning and have some more to bring him.  This project and concept has added a new dimension to collecting and since it is one I never actively pursued it has made it exciting again.

Come by Thursday night and I will be spinning a lot of these old - new finds.  

The past few months I have manned the play-station all by my lonesome, but this month I will be re-joined with DJ SummerLivesOn! - aka Chuck Daly so stop by, drink some booze, tip Larry and GET HIGH!

Primitive Sound System and DJ DontCloseMaxwells! - D.C.'s Tavern - June 6 - 9PM to Closing

Hello Y'all,
One brief word on the closing of Maxwell's and then we can all move on, or at least I will.  We started to go to Maxwell's sometime in 1982 or 1983.  I don't remember the order of the shows but I remember the Bongos were the big draw to head down to Hoboken.  Our Dad had been listening to FMU since it first went on the air so it wasn't that far of a stretch to think we would be at Maxwell's and in the City for shows.  I am not sure where other teenagers hung-out at the time… seriously what did they do?  Where did they go? But, we knew this was better than staying home and getting drunk at a friends house.  This was something to du.  I remember Ira and Georgia's wonderful DJ sets and backing John Klages before catching that fly ball and striking out on their own.  The desire to go to Maxwell's wasn't just the bands it was a place we felt comfortable and the characters contained inside were hilarious, creepy, cool, beautiful, ugly, friendly, obnoxious, etc, etc and we felt like we should never leave.  They were all like minded folks that luckily found the best possible place to be.  We never really were looking to be part of a scene so we always stayed on the edges never becoming to friendly or close to many people.  But, you will find that after you frequent a place for over thirty years people start to recognize you.

At one point we actually had gone to Maxwell's over fifteen nights in a row.  We had started a landscaping business which meant we were up early and finished early.  Long naps, some pizza and then we were off to Hoboken.  If the nap was short we tried to hit Pier Platters before driving around to the other side of town and parking down by the river because even then you were lucky if you got a spot really close to the club.  Our prime years were from the early 80's through the 90's so you can only imagine the bands we saw and we saw them all (except Mission of Burma).  I look to my buddy Dave Gilmour (who I first took there in 1985 to see the minutemen) and my brother to clarify the lineups.  I know, for the most part, what bands we saw and sometimes things stick out to help me remember the other bands on the bill.  If I am real lucky, I can possibly recall the time of year.  To me it has been one, big, long, endless bill… until now.

As many bands that we saw, there are a hundred times that in stories we could tell.  When my hair was long Peter Buck once bought me a beer and said, "Hey, Eddie Vedder, this one's on me."  Simply so he could get a laugh.  Of course I said thanks, and then drank it down in one big gulp.  I played my first show there with a band I was in called Love Onion and played one of the last with Hippopotamus, a band I was in for thirteen years.  I DJ'd Latin, Soul and Funk there every Tuesday for six years as well as many of the Christmas parties during that time.  I did some newspaper and magazine ads for the club, the first of which was for a Soul Food night.  I showed my art on its walls on several occasions and began doing pieces for "Weird NJ" because of it.  My son and his friend shared their third birthday in the back room.  As the party was winding down Lou Barlow began loading his equipment in.  At one point he sat on the stage and marveled at the kids running around.  I walked over, stood next to him for a minute and he finally spoke, "I can't believe I am going to be playing a show here and I am following a kids party."  There are a million more, and probably a million I can't remember.  It will be missed but sometimes you just got to know when to say good-bye.

I think that was just one word, right?

Thanks to everyone who ever made Maxwell's great.

Oh yeah, for years my brother and my friend Ronny always said they saw me in this Mudhoney video.  I had never seen the video until a few years back and at the 1:46 mark, don't blink, it is quick, there I is.  The footage was shot at Maxwell's.  What's even funnier is sometimes when you search the video, I am the thumbnail.

Chuck and I will engage in our usual battle royale.  Air guitars, drums, bass and any other spastic simulation we can muster will mostly be for our own entertainment.  So come on by, have a cold one, two or three and do something stupid for your own amusement.  Larry The Hunter will be minding the bar while you mind your own goddamn business!  So be kind and tip the man, especially since there are only seconds between reloads.

I spent the this past Sunday at the always amazing Black Gold Records in Brooklyn.  I picked up three very long time want list records as well as some other "must haves."  I also got a care package from the good folks over at Slovenly Records and Black Gladiator Records.  If there are labels putting out more consistently great Punk and Garage I have yet to find them.  I am not sure what I am more impressed with; their "ear" to find such mind-numbingly great bands or the bands themselves.  Who the fuck cares, just buy their records and be happy… or smash things.

Speaking of smashing things, and then I gotta go because this is the longest post ever, I picked up a copy of The Traits - "Nobody Loves The Hulk" after being tipped off by my friend John O'Toole.  Not only is this one of the best Garage records ever it comes in a super sturdy hardboard cover that is silk screened on both sides.  The lyrics on the back and an action shot of the Hulk about to ruin everyone's day.  Contrary to the subject matter, I Love the Hulk!  "HULK, SMASH HIT… RECORD!"  

Come by and let your ears be entertained while you numb your body and lower your IQ.

See you there.

Primitive Sound System, Chuck Daly & Jake Casualty at D.C.'s Tavern - This One's Got Balls!

Hello Y'all,
My friend and long time bandmate once had a business card that read, Mark Maloof - Chug Metal Guitarist - "If Your Band Needs Balls!"  It made me laugh out loud when I first saw it.  If I remember correctly our friend Liz made him the card.  It was definitely meant to be funny or even ironic but truth be told Mark could have made more bands than I'd like to think sound a million times better.  Regardless of genre the one thing all bands need is balls.  Balls to do exactly what they want to do ad not give a shit what others think.  And of course, I prefer bands that could possibly cause an earthquake at the right volume.  Aggression is not the same as balls.  Many performers are aggressive but they don't necessarily have balls.  Most performance art sucks for this reason.

The Melvins have balls.  Flipper have balls.  Bo Diddley has balls.  Fela has balls.  Miles Davis has balls.  Mavis Staples has balls.  Marva Whitney has balls.  You get the point.  I can also go into a long list of bands that don't have balls but think they have balls.  But I try never to write any negative reviews and that would certainly be just that.  Though that would be a great series of reviews… Attack Attack! - "Balless."  Next….

For the longest time I thought Rush were balless.  I don't get their music at all.  Beyond all the problems that I think are obvious the sound of their records are all treble no bass.  This from a band led by a bass player and a drummer who can't possibly buy enough drums to make himself sound good.  Talk about overcompensating.  It wasn't that I didn't listen.  I tried, especially after I began playing music.  Our band got lumped into the Math Rock genre and most people's Prog point of reference was Yes or Rush.  I dislike both of those bands equally.  About six months ago Chuck Daly - aka DJ WIthANewNameEveryTimeHeSpins - pulled the first Rush record out of his bag.  Not to be rude but I had to pull the, technically this my DJ gig night and with that said… there will be ABSOLUTELY NO RUSH.  I don't have many rules to listening to music and I live to hear something new.  He convinced me i'd be pleasantly surprised and holy shit, he was not wrong.  For the past six months it has become the most played record in my studio.  For some reason or another some bands lose their balls.  Oh well.

From what I know Chuck is a bit under the weather and he was supposed to bring a surprise guest.  That may not be happening but I will have my big box o' band that gots balls.

See you there!

Bands Them That Got Balls:

Primitive Sound System and Chuck Daly at D.C.'s Tavern Thursday June 7th from 9PM to Closing

Hello Y'all,

This month Chuck and I pogo our way to the pit and drag everyone down with us. I am going to keep mostly to the 70's and early Hardcore… because I am that old. The desire to do an all Punk night came after buying the new LP by OFF! (offofficial.com) - which if you haven't heard it you should if you have heard it you know why I have become possessed with the desire to only spin records from the left side of my studio. That's where I keep the Punk ROCK!!! I have only pulled a 100% Punk set once before and it is easily my favorite night of music.

BUT!
Then I was upstate and came across a copy of The Nothing 45 "Uniformz" for a dollar. A DOLLAR! As far as I knew this was one of the rarer Punk 7-inches and was worth somewhere in the $500 range. I knew this from working behind the counter of Finyl Vinyl where I saw the record listed on countless want-lists. These lists are always presented by the exact same type of person in every genre of music. They would hand you the list and then almost immediately say, "Do you know any of these?" OK you smug bastard, NO, I don't know them all. Actually no one probably does. OK, and… then they'd usually give you a few seconds and say…"Do you have any of them?" Of course we do! How many copies of each would you like? Fuck off asshole! So there I was in a junk shop upstate and the first record I spot is The Nothing. I almost immediately slide it under another record and continue to look around for about an hour. I actually unearthed a bunch of nice finds. This was easily one of the most disorganized shops I had ever been in. Basements in abandoned buildings are more organized. I talked with the guy running the shop the entire time I was looking. By-the-way, people aren't more friendly the further you get from the City they just talk more. I began going through my finds checking condition and deciding what I was going to keep. I really do try not to be a record shark because almost all of them are assholes so I listened to each record with "Hoss" giving him the opportunity to recognize it or know it wasn't a dollar record. He didn't. I drove back to our friend's place and did a little research. Much to my surprise it turned out that the record was far more rare than I knew. The past few copies that have sold on eBay have gone for around $2000. Yes three zeros, not two. I then shot an email to my buddy behind the rare Punk site CollectorScum.com he not only confirmed the value but he was recently involved in a reissue of the 45.

I posted the fact that I found a copy on a few sites including facebook and much to my surprise a friend's band used to play with The Nothing and unfortunately had an amp stolen by them. YEAH! PUNK ROCK!!!

I didn't find a lot of info about the band so I then reached out to Howie Pyro. As always I didn't just get a story… I got a great one.

Here is what he had to say…

"Long story to type… Singer came outta nowhere, had an English accent but everyone was sure he was from New Jersey or Cleveland or something. I played with the guitar player (Angel Electra) for a minute and they're both in this video with me and The Misfits from "78 or "79 (earliest footage of them). I'm on vocals with Trixie Sly (Singer of The Nothing) ruining it by singing in the wrong timing. Danzig on guitar, Jerry Only on bass, etc...always a story…"

A quick Google search and I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4J_nxDnZHY - "Peppermint Twist" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog"

Listen to Howie's amazing radio show here - Luxuria Music - Howie Pyro It is one of the only links permanently on my blog.

Hello Y'all,
This week is not a theme but a genre night. Chuck Thalmus Rasulala Daily aka - DJ Chuck Deez-Nutz and myself will be loading up the record bags with all things Hip Hop. Many years ago I sold off a lot of 12-inches and a good amount of LP's but I kept what I really loved. Of course there are some records I wish I didn't get rid of and others I wish I would have picked up along the way but regardless of what I do and don't regret about my collection, Hop-Hop has always been a major part of my listening pleasure. I was never a fan of Disco and have since heard some pretty amazing cuts that are considered Disco but honestly the mid to late 70's killed R&B, Soul and Funk. All the greats tried their hand at Disco but most of the results fell sadly short of their collective talents. Soon DJ culture flourished and Hip Hop was born. Who exactly did what when is not really the important part, what is important is the passion and creativity that drives Hip Hop. Equally musically and Socially aware DJs, MCs, dancers and fans helped create a genre as well as a culture. Whenever art and music collide with the disenfranchised, disrespected and the fringe you usually get something great. Hip Hop and Hardcore started at a similar time period and for similar reasons and I was immediately drawn to both. When it seems the government has no intention on representing you and your kind and there appears to be no future what is else do you do when not complaining… you create.

That's right kids, DJ Chuck Deez-Nutz and Fat Pat The Water Rat aka Primitive Sound System take on Hip Hop all night long...all night. Making selections from the 70's to the 00's and every one a HIT RECORD. NO DISCO + NO PUNK and definitely no JUNK! Schooly D, PE, Cannibal Ox, ODB, Pharcyde, EPMD, Biz Markie, Tribe, Wu, etc, etc will ALL be there.

Slide into Back - in - Back for the Beers and Beats. MC Larry The Hunter will set 'em up so you can put 'em down.

ROCK N' ROLL NEVER HIP HOPPED LIKE THIS!

See Ya!

Bon Voyage Matt Dolan - PSS & Bill Dolan - D.C.'s Tavern March 6 - 9PM - Closing

Hello Y'all,
There are so many things to tell everyone about this week.

First off, Bill and I will be burying the patrons of D.C.'s with pounds and pounds of Hardcore, Punk and 70's Rock madness in honor of the one and only Big Red. Bill's brother Matt departs from our shores to continue a life anew with his family in far away lands. There better be beer where he is going or man he is going to be pissed off! Before he goes we will help him stock up; we know he is full when his eyes are floating. Matt has been a major part of my life and anyone who frequents D.C.'s or Louise & Jerry's. As always, this means we will have a late night visit by Hoboken Board of Ed Officer Anthony Romano... just in case you're holding. Bon Voyage Big Red!


WFMU is nearing the end of its 50th Anniversary Listener Marathon. Anyone reading this and NOT familiar with FMU needs to log on immediately to ANY archived show at WFMU.org or tune in 91.1 fm in the NYC area (90.1 in the Hudson Valley) and start taking notes. Conservatively I would say about 50% of my music knowledge has come from the airwaves of FMU. My Dad was a listener so I truly do not know life without FMU and hope I never have to. I have contributed in my own special ways to the station over the years. This year I had the opportunity to break out the brush & ink and design a t-shirt for one of the DJ Premiums. This time around Mr. Fine Wine gets that fine Longo treatment. Just click on the "Mr. Fine Wine presents Downtown Soulville T-shirt" link under "Friday" under the DJ Premiums Selector in the left hand side navigation of the Pledge page - https://www.wfmu.org/marathon/pledge.php for a closer look. The back of the shirt has a manipulated Tuba Records (owned by Fine Wine's Uncle) label design with Matt's show info. Please give what you can to the station. They are 100% listener sponsored.

I did just that. Actually, I listened to the music twice through while working. Yes, it is that good. Google "Stephen Chopek" and you will see that this isn't just some friend's music but music by an incredible musician who happens to be a friend. Please check it out.
