attack of the double pink covered albums
Oho - Okinawa --- 1974 baltimore
duva
the salient sickle sucker
ain't life so dumb
the dance of the ivy dog
a frog for you
the plague
if anything Oho weren't terribly serious. they thrive off of a shit spewing spirit that only a half-prog/quarter-proto-punk/quarter-kitchen sink outfit could possess. and its pretty gleeful by the seat of your pants kinda oomph. not all of it works on 1974's Okinawa, but alot of it hits spots you ain't never really heard before... in a strange way bits and pieces remind me of other fuck-it-all-we'll-try-anything units more of the post-punk era such as the Swell Maps. i gotta get their next release and see where all of this could possibly lead. in any case, its as riveting as any other homemade product of the era, and i think one might be able to draw some "Filth" paralells between this record and fellow Baltimoretonian John Waters???
because this has been reissued by the band i'm just offering up these tracks to get your appetites whetted.
Mayo Thompson - Corky's Debt to his Father --- 1970
ok, some may know this one purdy good. my take? the best indie rock record that time travelled back to 1970 and made no splash. why do i say this? well, to these ears, mayo nails the singer-songwriter "project" album au perfection, and also manages to come off laying down bricks for the twee arty introvertedness that a million fey goofuses would try to make waves with 25 years later (yeah, gads, ya might see this wind up on a wes anderson soundtrack 4 years from now...). i don't mind certain acts from the indie-itis, but most of that stuff ain't really "rock" and this IS, so if you can dig that angle, then you will heartily dig this. better than the red krayola too, so if that doesn't get your juices flowing, i don't know what will!
around the home
dear betty baby
fortune
horses
oyster thins
worried
this was also reished... so no full album.
-------------------------------------------------------------
and for our "suck this down, lest ye be a sinner" 1 song niche filler, we hit the christ companionship angle and the best song from the album on Earthen Vessel's 1972 debut "Hard Rock"! opinions mixed on this record, i think for the most part it is pretty boring. but how can you resist "Get High on Jesus"??? from lansing, MI.

I'd love to hear this band at some point. Too bad the site these songs are linked to seems to be down. Any chance of reposting on rapidshare?
all these other links work. i think soon i will switch my shares to rapidshare perhaps if there is enough clamoring though. best, yrac tnarg
