Not New Music Tuesdays
(This is the first installment of Not New Music Tuesdays, a new feature by our new writer, Twin Cheeks. I know, right? We're having a contest for most immature nom de plume, and I think TC is winning so far. Anyway, TC will be doing this every week-- presenting full album downloads taken from a personal record collection that most of you couldn't even dream of amassing. I think many of you will be pleasantly surprised by the stuff you'll find here: a lot of it obscure, all of it good, and almost none of it recent. Most of these posts will NOT focus on local releases, but we thought we'd start things off this week with an old local punk compilation that contains some great stuff that you should really hear. Enjoy! --SR)
Ok. New column, old music. Maybe some of you have heard this stuff, maybe some of you haven't. Maybe some of you will like it, maybe some of you won't. Either way, it won't kill you to listen to it.
People seem to enjoy bitching about how local music sucks these days, so I thought we should take a listen to what was going on locally 30 years ago. Recorded at ESR Studios in 1978-79 and released in 1979, Are We Too Late for the Trend... compiled the best (or maybe the whole) of the dfw punk scene at the time. Good shit. --

holy shit, this is cool!
smegma was most definitely not a dfw band
For fuck's sake, I can't stop listening to this Plastic Idols song.
FOURTH!! i posted fourth. I win nothing.
that is way too much effort to download each song individually
i think it's worth it. but i really really really think it's too much effort to have to see the name 'twin cheeks' every week.
i think you should change your name, TC, before it's too late.
how about a contest?
RIP Munetaka Higuchi

Nice pick! Vomit Pigs and Infants tracks are two of the best if memory serves me right.

When's that 12" popping out? (cuz I'm buyin' one)
I like youuuuuuuuuuu
Okay, I'm an avid We Shot JR reader, so imagine my surprise when I get a link from my dad this morning to this blog post. My dad was in Control (track 9). Funny stuff. Good music lasts generations, I guess. ;)
Whoa, Laura, that rules!

Smegma on this comp is not the Experimental Noise project Smegma, obviously.

Good job. Does anyone remember VVV records on Oaklawn? I think the owner's name was Neil Caldwell.

i remember vvv records they would do unauthorized 12'' releases
like cccp
do you remember off the record in arlington?
anybody remember the record patch in carrollton? yeah, i did'nt think so, so shut the fuck up already...
Yeah, Neal Caldwell owned VVV Records. Mark Griffin (MC 900) worked there too.
David Williams from Vomit Pigs was also in Decadent Dub Team.
We're all old.
actually, we're all water..
Thanks so much for posting this.
punk rock is for idiots
I remember Neil Caldwell and Mark Griffin had a "free jazz" group that played on thursdays at the green room. I also remember riding my bike to his record store and buying the cherubs 7 inch. I still have the red spot comp. that i bought from there which has some great bands like micon and the fried abortions. Not local but what a great record store.
i still have the cassette from ddt's first demo. I think it was on direct hit. If anyone would like a copy please let me know. I would be more than happy to make a copy of it.
no thanks.
Some people are like OH LOOK AT ME I CAN BE A DICK
rudecasm
I went to VVV once or twice as a teen somehow, but where was Metamorphasis Records? (Expo Park?)
I've still got my Buck Naked and the Jaybirds 45; "Drinkin' Bud and Watchin' Bob b/w You only love me because I work on your car" I bought there. Local Greatness...featuring the auto-harp of course!
Auto-harp is fuckin nice. Nick Nostril and the Nosepickers Pickin' and a-singin' they'll get that booger yet!
Forbidden Books is long gone right?
Forbidden Books is long gone. It was great when the first guy had it even though he's an asshole and when that other asshole bought the shop it got progressively shittier and then daddy's money went bye bye.
Record Gallery was the bomb, too.
The best Texas punk band is Stickmen With Rayguns! Find "Some People Deserve To Suffer". It's like The Birthday Party with Darby Crash singing. I don't think they were around when this came out. Stickmen singer, Bobby Soxx, was in a band called Bobby Soxx and the Teenage Queers at the time, witch was basicly him fronting The Telefones. If you can find their version of "I wanna pee pee in the disco, mommy", you should post it in your next local retrospective.
Thanks for posting this, TC! I think it's very important for people to have a knowledge of their local music history.
i'm doing this every week as long as SR is going to let me. my post won't always be about local music, but, trust me, bobby soxx will not be forgotten!
this is great stuff, seriously. did anyone mention that neal caldwell was also in ncm who put out a great 7 inch as well? listen here . . .
