#nowspinning Alice Donut “Dry Humping The Cash Cow: Live At CBGBs” (1994, Alternative Tentacles). I heard somewhere that the canned audience noises were borrowed from one of the Kiss “Alive” albums.

#nowspinning The Candy Snatchers “Moronic Pleasures” (2019, Hound Gawd). These are earlier, more raw versions of (mostly) songs that would later appear on the “Human Zoo” album. Not sure if they’re demos or if this is an unreleased album.

#nowspinning Nine Inch Nails “Broken” (1992/2017 Nothing-Interscope Records) Blast from the past. Between this and “Pretty Hate Machine” it’s high school nostalgia overload.

#nowplaying Slade “The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome” (1983, RCA) “Run Runaway” and “Cocky Rock Boys Rule O.K.” are two of my favorite tracks. Slade was hugely popular but never broke big in the US for some reason.
