METABOLIST - HANSTEN KLORK

I bought this album 39 years ago, I was sixteen and living in a squad house with a bunch of fellow punks, 1981. I was in the Haddock record shop with one of them, Tony, and he told me to buy this album and it's still among my favorite albums....

We had some wild motherfuckers living in that squad house and Tony was one of them. Every now and then Tony would get some pcp (angeldust), he would dress up like a pierrot, including the face paint, Bowie style, smoke his dust and go out by himself, next day he would be back, often with his face bashed in, beaten like a dog. Sometimes he wanted to get drunk quick and he would start shooting up whiskey... After a while almost everybody in that squad house was shooting up or smoking heroine and I left, never touched it, seeing what it did to my friends was enough to keep me away from it as far as I could, I was more of a speed freak back then and I loved those paper trips and shrooms....

About a year and a half or so later I got the news, Tony died, overdosed on new years eve 1982, they found him in his garden lying in the snow and me and a bunch of fellow punks went to his funeral, a dreadful affair with his poor parents going crazy, looking at us, all non-heroin users like we gave him his final dose. Never went to a funeral like that again (and there were quiet a few back then)....

Anyway, here's to you Tony, you mad-hatter crazy son of a bitch and thanks for all the fun we had and for making me buy this album....

KIEM

Kiem was a Dutch band from my city of birth, Rotterdam, active from 1982 till 1987. I don't know how many times I've seen them live, quiet a few times and they were always great live. The members were Huub Kentie – Synthesizers & Vocals, Ger ‘Sax’ van Voorden – Tenor Saxophone and the incredible Cees ‘IJzermans’ Meurs who played drums on a drum kit that was made out of all kinds of pieces of metal. I saw Cees once live, playing together with Dutch jazz drummer Han Bennink and there are just no words to describe how great a performance that was.... Ger van Voorden later left the band and was replaced by Jos Valster....

Way back I had a friend, John, who always went with them on tour as a roadie and he would always come back with the wildest stories, those guys were always touring all over Europe, specially Italy where they had quiet a following....

Here's their website: kiemrotterdam.nl

They put out three albums and I'll upload 'em, not my rips though....

ZOOGZ RIFT

I bought this album two months ago in Holland and I had no idea what it was when I bought it, really bought it because of the cover and when I came home, well, I just couldn't believe how incredibly good it was. Zoogz Rift. And I can't believe that in all my years, 3 decades plus a few years of mainly listening to underground music I never came across the music from this incredible artist....

Now, normally I share whole albums here but in this case I'm not giving this album away, see, his ex-wife Laura and his son Aaron run a facebook page in honor of Zoogz Rift, and there you can purchase his music....

But I did get permission to share 1 song with you guys from Laura, it's my favorite song from this album called "With The Necessary Changes Having Been Made".

Zoogz Rift was also involved in professional wrestling (I'm a life long fan believe it or not), he was involved with the old UFC....

Learn and listen!!!!

EGON BONDY AND THE PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE - EGON BONDY'S HAPPY HEARTS CLUB BANNED

This is one of my price possessions, I bought this album many, many years ago, back home in Rotterdam and to me, not only is this some incredibly beautiful music, but really, these guys (and girls) are heroes to me, each and every one of them. Most of them were in jail or hiding when the music on this album was smuggled out of Czechoslovakia... All they knew was some music from Frank Zappa, The Fugs, Captain Beefheart and The Velvet Underground and they just took it from there....

After all these years (I bought this album somewhere in the early 80's) some of the songs still give e goosebumps....

For real....

The Poet Egon Bondy passed away and so has the great Vaclac Havel who knew them well but some of the original members are still active and performing with some younger members and bless their happy hearts....

The album come with a lovely book, 60 pages of photo's, poems, collages and stories....
