Lard - The Last Temptation of Reid (1990)
Studio recordings @320
A funky bass riff opens "Forkboy" and hooks you in quickly with a fast and furious heavy metal opening track. Industrial metal and hardcore punk blend seamlessly in this fantastic start and what is probably the best song on the album. Jello's vocals do nothing but increase the creative and extremely unique sound that this track brings.
"Pineapple Face" is a mindf*ck of a song that goes from a formula similar to "Forkboy" albeit slower, to a psychedelic, non-sensical, and contact-high inducing chorus...and it's pure genius. This is more of what you'd expect from Jello with it's crazy and politically driven lyrics that make little sense but you just know has a very deep meaning somewhere in there. In conclusion, listen to this song high, and you won't want it to end.
"Mate Spawn and Die" is extremely reminiscent of Dead Kennedys songs such a "Holiday in Cambodia" with it's simple descending riffs that screams hardcore. The lyrics are mostly rhythmic spoken word. It's one of the less memorable of the songs on this album since it just doesn't quite have the energy that the rest of the album has, though it certainly has its charm with its catchy, nostalgic riffs and lyrics.
"Drug Raid at 4am" and "Can God Fill Teeth?" are less like songs, and more like audio plays. In the former, Jello stars as a police officer sent to a house that is said to be housing a load of drugs. The song is basically him acting like an overly aggressive and insensitive copper screaming at a "suspect" pleading for mercy with fast, energetic instrumentals playing throughout. It seems to be pointing out police brutality and the pointless war on drugs. It ends rather humorously, for after the pure chaos that this song has you endure, the character simply says "Oh. Sorry. Wrong house."
The latter is a full blown spoken word audio with a soundtrack accompaniment. It starts with a faux commercial and a man accusing it of being a Big-Brother like conspiracy theory while slow, ominous guitar plays. It gets oddly disturbing as the guitar and drums speed up and chaos erupts as the sounds of painful, slapstick-esque screams and drilling is heard. He drills out his teeth to find wires leading up into his brain that was recording everything he's been saying. The track is oddly mesmerizing and addictive and is perhaps one of the most creative songs I've heard since...well "Forkboy."
A smooth bass riff opens "Bozo Skeleton", another neutral paced with well-flowing and catchy vocals and rather heavy instrumental work, especially from the drummer. It continues to remind us that this is certainly a legendary combination of hardcore and indutrial kings, for this song shows a very evenly divided ammount of elements from both, which is rather impressively done.
Perhaps the most metal song on the album, "Sylvestre Matuschka" doesn't take it's time getting awesome. With sinister vocals and great chord progression, this song stands out in the album. It's fun and great headbanging material.
What follows is a cover of "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa" by Napoleon XIV. If there is a God, he made Jello Biafra so he could cover this song. The snare drum accompanies his joyfully twisted and insane vocals as occasional screams are heard. Jello steals the show in this. He sounds like a true classic Mad-Hatter kind of insanity and is truly a joy to listen to.
"I Am Your Clock" is an interesting song. It is a speech by Jello as disorganized guitar plays. Now, this song is over 15 minutes long. As I said in my Passover review, I can't really stomach songs this long. It's a personal thing, but it frustrates me a bit that it takes five minutes for the song to change its sound at all and then goes right back to the same formula as the previous five minutes. Rinse and repeat. This is tolerable for shorter songs, but having to sit through the same riff for 15 minutes just isn't my thing.
This album is a must listen if you like Dead Kennedys, Ministry, industrial music, punk rock, heavy metal, or are just looking for something different. There are combinations and collaborations that don't work, and then there's Lard, who continued to make creative new music up until their indefinite hiatus in 2000. I recommend everything they've done, but this more than the others.

The Tail Gators - Hide Your Eyes (1990) {Out of Print}
This is the last Tail Gators album to feature the original lineup with Keith Ferguson on bass. The title track was written about Keith coming off the road and that's exactly what he did after this album was finished. With the exception of a release or two by local Austin bands he played with between leaving The Tail Gators and his early demise "Hide Your Eyes" is his last record.
The album lacks the concise punch of peak Tail Gators such as "Mumbo Jumbo" and "OK Let's Go". Despite the cracks beginning to show it's still a good time Rock 'n' Roll album as only Don Leady & company can do. The opening track rocks the hardest and should have been a radio single. "Rockin' in the 1990's" sounds dated to say the least but even the Stones "Exile on Main Street" had one or two songs that didn't add much.
Even at a difficult point in their career (the road taking its toll, the departure of Ferguson) The Tail Gators manage to crank out a decent album of no-frills, good time Rock 'n' Roll and "Hide Your Eyes" makes a mighty fine addition to the collection of any Rock 'n' Roll fan.
~J.J. Vickers

The Urban Voodoo Machine - In Black 'n' Red {Out of Print}
With their lurching sea shanties, debauched murder ballads, messed-up tangos and whiskey-soaked gypsy stomps, some reckon they're from the same stable of stallions as Tom Waits and Nick Cave; others point out the last gang in town swagger of The Clash and the hellbound blues that John Lee Hooker first dragged out of the swamp. Featuring between 7 to 12 musicians playing - guitars, drums, fiddle, trumpet, banjo, washboard, upright bass, gong, mandolin, accordion, harmonicas, saxophone and even empty bottles & tie racks to build their unique Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop N Stroll.
Track List:
1 -Go East
2 -Cheers For The Tears
3 -S.O.S (Swim Or Sink)
4 -Rather You Shot Me Down

Belly - Live Roskilde Festival, Denmark - 1995 (Repost)
From The ORIGINAL FBS archives!!
Following several years in Throwing Muses, as well as a brief detour in
the Breeders in 1990, Tanya Donelly formed her own band, Belly, in 1992.
With Belly, Donelly expanded her dreamy pop hooks into more concise,
catchy songs, as well as harder-edged rock. The band's 1993 debut, Star,
became one of the first beneficiaries of the commercialization of
alternative rock; it rode to gold status within its first year of
release, as "Feed the Tree" made headway on mainstream pop radio.
Despite their strong start, Belly never became genuine stars, and once
their 1995 follow-up, King, bombed, Donelly disbanded the group in 1996.
Set List:
01 – Dusted
02 – Angel
03 – Untitled And Unsung
04 – King
05 – Now They’ll Sleep
06 – Full Moon, Empty Heart
07 – Super-Connected
08 – Feed The Tree
