Die Kreuzen - Pink Flag. Touch & Go Records 7". T&G62.

Another 'loft find'. This was in a pile of seven-inchers I found in a box with a bunch of fanzines, trading cards, Beanie Babies, bus tickets and other useless shit. I gave each of the sevens the once over with this blog in mind and, I'll be honest with you, this is pretty much the only one that made the grade. The rest are going to charity so that somebody else can pick them up and maybe get excited enough to start a stupid blog.

I know pretty much fuck all about Die Kreuzen except for the fact that Albini dug them. I do know that I appreciate a fine Wire cover, and this is one. The flip is a Germs cover. Enjoy.

Man Or Astro-Man? - Deluxe Men In Space. Touch and Go / One Louder EP.

Inside left.

Inside right.

Mid-period Astro-Man? from the time they started to flirt with the more experimental side of their sound - March of the Androids and Rhombics may be short (both clock in at under a minute) but they demonstrate a new side to the Man or Astro-Man? sound that was further exploited in their later releases. The rest of the tracks are classic Man or Astro-Man? including a cover of U-Uranus that has my kids in fits. Enjoy.

Killdozer - Lupus / Nasty. Touch & Go Records 7".

Killdozer ape The Smiths by putting somebody else on their record sleeve, but instead of some elfen, androgynous 60s filmstar they've gone for snarling man-beast David Yow, vocalist for The Jesus Lizard. The a-side to this is on the Twelve-Point Buck LP. It's about semi-famous American author Flannery O'Connor and the disease that carried her off. The b-side is Killdozer carrying on from their For Ladies Only all-covers set with a relatively faithful cover of Janet Jackson's 'Nasty'.
