11. White Mystery - Telepathic
Fear drenched freak out from a pair of red-headed siblings with the last name White. Vacillating between pure punk abandon & pop-tastic songwriting. Songs about secret gardens, spiders, cats, Martians, telepathy and pacts with Satan. What's happening in the youth for nothing underground? Sounds like some witchy shit is going on. I like it! It's their 3rd record. so check the back catalog as well. (S)

10. Theater of Life
You know that guy from the commercials where he interviews the kids? What are those even advertising? Anyways, this is what that guy does when he's not counting all this TV commercial cash: sitting in a lawn chair at the beach with his buddy and goofin' on the rubes. I can't believe Swilson and I didn't think of this first. Well Swilson, we can always do the Jersey shore edition. Like a franchise. (K)

9. Human Eye - 4: Into the Unknown
Timmy Vulgar hits the charts again with his punk rock space ace attack. It's the fourth full length in ten years and every time a record comes out by these guys I think's it's their best yet. Proving somehow in 2013 that Detroit is still Rock City. (S)

8. Demon Pact

Long-lost NWOBHM band who released their first single a couple months after Venom and somehow got lost in the Satanic shuffle. There's a couple singles and EP tracks around, but even hardcore fans of the era don't remember much about 'em. Luckily, all the stuff they did has been unearthed and compiled on the seminal Released From Hell album, which you are gonna want, because not only is this great, raw, barely-contained NWOBHM, the singer is clearly either goofing or insane. Either way, fun times. (K)

7. Room 237

Did you ever get really baked and watch The Shining? Room 237 is pretty much every conspiracy theory, hidden meaning or crack pot message anyone could ever deduct, be it stoned or sober, from one the best horror movies ever made. I take an agnostic view of just about everything, including reality itself, so I was able to enjoy this without going off the deep end. (S)

6. Teddy Boys documentary

There are couple times in my life where I attempted the Teddy Boy look (17 and 22), but I could never keep up with the hair regiment. Still, those fuckers had style. As this mini-doc points out, they were also racist thugs who paved the way for skinhead culture, but nobody's perfect. (K)

5. Foxfur

Speaking of conspiracy theories, hidden meanings and crack pots going off the deep end, The new Damon Packard movie is "out" on youtube. It's a lysergic trip into the modern day world of information overload. I'm not sure what the hell it's really about but Damon might be the closest thing we have to Kubrick in modern times. Pretty goddam amazing! (S)

4. Alice cooper band in audio recording ballad of Dwight frye

Wow ! Neal Smith posted this cool clip of the band at a German TV studio rehearsing to perform Ballad of Dwight Frye! Amazing! (K)

3. Rama Amoeba

I don't know what the any of their records sound like, I'm guessing like T. Rex clones, but I caught these guys live two weeks ago at the Brighton Bar in Long Branch NJ, opening up for Walter Lure. They ruled! It's a complete glam rock rip off but they're Japanese, so they get a free pass. Also they achieved, to my round eyes, total androgyny, which can be a good or bad thing in certain circumstances. but in Rock 'n Roll that's a good thing. Rebel Rules! (S)

2. Alice in Chains wastes the record company's money

When I interviewed them a couple months ago, they told me about this. Basically, the label gave them a pile of cash to make an "electronic press kit" about their new album, but instead, they went full-tilt Andy Kaufman and invented a bunch of alter-egos that deride, villify, and call out Alice in Chains as hacks, lame-os, and rip-off artists. Really funny and nearly as punk as the French fanzine editor. (K)

1. Rat King - Godsend

Lock up your daughters, lock up your wife, lock up your back door and run or your life. You know a band with a name like Rat King is destined make the Top 13. Pure creep fest from Newcastle. Unadulterated raincoat pervert rock, slow, plodding, and manic. Maybe one of the weirdest, wildest things on the black market. (S)

Godsend by RAT KING

12. Super Ego
These are my friends down in Brazil who make a most amazing cosmic witches brew of psychedelic free funk. Like everything musical that comes from Brazil, it's awesome. Cosmic Moods / Mystic Groove is the latest, and I can tell you that the title is apt. Get down!! (S)

11. Camp Meeting Jubilee
From 1916. The first documented use of "rock n' roll" in a song. Pretty spooky, too. 1916 sounds nutty. (K)

10. Wendell Harrison - Organic Dream
Wendell's organic dream is not the same as say, Whole Foods organic dream. His dream is infinitely more cosmic and intensely sexual. Involving ginseng, love juice and a green meadow. Sounds like my kinda organic dream. Can you believe this space funk was recorded and released in the profoundly un-spacy year of 1981? It's sounds totally 1972. Speaking of 1972, Wendell Harrison put out a record called: An Evening With The Devil. It just made this years Christmas list. (S)

9. Infandous
As close to a full-on nervous breakdown as I've ever heard in a "song". Outsider black metal from from the locked ward. (K)

Blood, the Sun, and the Cosmos by Infandous

8. Krypts - Unending Degradation
The first full length by Krypts is a never ending juggernaut of constantly interweaving death and doom metal. For those of you who are hip to that world view but you can't decide if your more into personal individual death or the destruction of the entire planet and maybe even the universe. This record will help you figure it out. (S)

7. Creepy 1920's Photos of the Boogieman
Ever wonder what was lurking under your great-grandparent's beds? Now you know. Sleep tight. (K)

6. Arrowwood - Beautiful Grave
This is sorta like if those two twins in The Shining that keep showing up asking Danny boy "to come and play with us" teamed up with Fairport Convention in an enchanted forest. Skip right to the title track, you're sold. (S)

Beautiful Grave by Arrowwood

5. Warning
Holy fuck, mask-wearing German early 80's death-disco freaks Warning have an actual VIDEO for their crazed "hit" Why Can the Bodies Fly, and it's as insane as you'd imagine. (K)

4. Keshco - The Blood, The Horror
They claim on the bandcamp page that they are influenced by Lalo Schifrin, NASA flight recordings, Elvis Costello, Lord Sutch and Iggy. I don't know but this is the closest thing we have to the Deviants in 2013 or maybe the Holy Modal Rounders. This thing get's more outside with each progressing track. Is LSD still available on the streets of London? If it is contact Keshco cause they got it. This is real! (S)

The Blood, The Horror by Keshco

3. Turmoil in the Toybox
Pastor Gary Greenwald was infamous for his 80's rants against backmasking and the "satanic" messages in songs as innocuous as Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust'. He pretty much found satanic panic everywhere, even in kid's toys. This completely fucking bonkers show finds Gary exposing the terrible truth behind everything from He Man figures to Yoda dolls. Spoiler alert: God don't like 'em! (K)

2. Sabbath chopped and Screwed
Ever just drink too much cough syrup and smoke so many blunts that even Black Sabbath sounds too fast for you? I'm not sure who made this and to be honest I didn't bother to look into it. But whoever it is they did a great job, mixing in samples form movies, bong water bubbles and classical music fills. Wildly relaxing. (S)

Screwing Yourself To Live: A Chopped & Slowed Tribute To Black Sabbath by Geng-Grizzly

1. Laibach documentary
The scariest joke band of all time? The world's most militant anti-militants? Tongue-in-cheek fascism? Disco for people forbidden to dance? The death and rebirth of rock n' roll? Yeah, all of that.

Top 13 (of the Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 15:10:00 +0000

Sure,you know what's cool. But do you know what's really fuckin' FAR OUT? That's where Advanced Demonology comes in. Every week, (K)en and (S)wilson trudge through the murky waters of the pop culture hellscape, dredging up sparkly morsels of wonder. These are the result of our latest foray into the world of the weird, our wildest, wiggest-out picks of the week. Call it our 13 Point Program.
13. SOV Horror Garbage
Back in the 80’s there was so much demand for new product on the shelves of video stores that backyard DIY “movie producers” started churning out next-to-no-budget camcorder gutspillers and foisting them on the public as legit flicks. That used to drive me nuts back then – imagine paying $4.00 to watch Cannibal Campout! – but these days, I can appreciate the lunatic enthusiasm and high-80’s fashions. THIS GUY has uploaded dozens of ‘em on his Youtube channel, so for a weekend of blinding VHS delirium, look no further. My personal fave? Try sitting through the awesomely terrible Dead Girls, a stalk n’ slash about an all-girl “hard rock” band getting menaced by a sadistic killer. Let the warm ketchup flow! (K)

12. Judge Bitch - Viper
I don't know what distinguishes Judge Bitch's brand of 80's style drugged induced trance music from other drug induced 80's nostalgia but I think they really got the album cover right on this one. Too bad it's a digital album. Like if you drank a whole bottle of cough medicine and tried to watch a Miami Vice marathon.(S)

Viper by Judge Bitch

11. Brutus – Personal Riot
What the fuck, do they give out degrees in Rock N’ Roll Motherfuckery in Norway or something? Oslo just has to be wall-to-wall denim demons. They must run out of beer and Thin Lizzy records constantly. Anyway, Brutus is bad-ass, they sound like Sabotage-era Sabbath, and they’ve got a new record coming out. Here’s a taste. (K)

10. Tucky Buzzard
A friend of mine/mind in Malibu brought this band up to me and I forgot how much I liked them. They were former members of the The End, who put out a masterpiece of psychedelia produced by, of all people, the anti-psych Bill Wyman. They some how released five record between 1969 and 1973 but were still doomed to obscurity. I don't know how this popularity contest works. If I did, Advanced Demonology would have a coffee table book out by now. (S)

9. Raging Slab documentary
Everybody seems to have forgotten these downtown boogie merchants, but for awhile there, they were the only ones keeping belt-buckle 70’s rock alive in the 80’s. Found this back-in-the-day doc on ‘em earlier this week, and its goodtimes. Bring back the Dynamite Monster Boogie show! (K)

8. Sweet Gravy
True outsider metal from the bay area ( I think?), where outsider metal became insider metal and back again. If White Boy and The Average Rat band were around Sweet Gravy would open for them or him or it or whatever….(S)

Totally Thrashin' by Sweet Gravy

7. Fucked-up Austrian Performance Art
Otto Meuhl died this week. He was one of several deranged performance artists from Austria who mangled meat and covered their audiences in blood to make some kind of statements back in the 70's. I remember reading about them in Apocalypse Culture or somewhere back in the 80’s. I haven’t thought about them since then, because tossing around sheep intestines no longer make sense to me, but Flavorwire did a cool write-up on that weird scene a couple days ago, and it’s worth a look. My fave of that bunch was Hermann Nitsch, who basically invented every black metal gimmick a dozen or so years ahead of the curve. (K)

6. Mayumi Kojima
Run don't walk over to the Bodega Pop blog and grab your self a raging slab of this groovy as hell Jap-Jazz-psych-beat. This might annoy me if I knew what she was saying but all I know is that It's got the word "poltergeist" in the title so I love it. (S)

5. The Sunshine is Too Long
Mystic Siva was a short-lived heavy psych band from Detroit who released one awesome headspinner of a record in ’70 and then imploded. The weather went haywire this week and summer exploded all over the east coast, so Swilson and I have been basking in the life-giving rays of the sun all week. So far it’s been great, but you know how it goes, we’ll be begging for relief by next Tuesday. Mystic Siva knows what we’re talking about. Lie down in the grass and listen to this as your brain boils into soup. (K)

4. Spirit - Live 1971
It has been a big week of blog pilfering by Swilson. This one comes from a spot I ain't never been to before until now called…dig this…Rare Music. Spirit is maybe the most underrated band to come out of the 60's L.A. pantheon. Headed by the Jimi Hendrix taught guitarist Randy California and his bald headed step-father, Spirit made some of the most original sounding rock of all time. Here is a great document of all the lysergic intensity you could ever want or need. (S)

3. Puke - Back To the Stone Age
A mind bending hybrid of punk & metal. If you slam danced to Iron Maiden's Killers inside a blown out squat in Sweden. Do people still call it slam dancing? I'm guessing Puke did. (S)

2. Hexvessel: Masks of the Universe
Hexvessel have a new EP out. You remember those guys? Dudes from Finland, playing psychedelic death-folk. They just released a new video. It’s 13 minutes long and it aims to blow your mind. And it will (K).

1. A Band Called Death
Seems kinda impossible, really: an all-black power-trio from Detroit playing proto-punk in 1974? But that’s what happened. This is their story. Far fuckin’ out, man. (K)

Top 13 (of the Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:37:00 +0000

11. Too Dark Park
“There are two communities that use this park. One is the Pagan or occultist community, and the other, of course, is the homosexual community. Interestingly enough, they go hand in hand.” Awesome. (K)

10. Electric Moon
Another band name that is just a cool combination of words thoughtlessly clipped together? I think not. This Scandinavian cult ( I'm assuming they are a cult) really is the Electric Moon. If you live in the UK you ain't going to get to see 'em because the tour was canceled in case of health problems. That's right. It was preemptively canceled because if they went on tour they are sure to get sick. Or maybe they meant the audience was sure to get sick? Orange sunshine. (S)

9. Hippie Death Goddess (of the Week)
This is Linda Francis and her boobs and her flute. Just about everything I like is in this photo. Decades later, this chick would go on to become the hippy-trippy new-age Earth mother of the “Seat of the Soul” movement. Who knows what it does? Besides fleece rich rubes? But the point is, she's still living the dream. And I bet she can still jam on that flute. (K)

8. Bram Stoker - Heavy Rock Spectacular
I hate ELP because to me it's like goofy carnival rock. Well I think I might have a different view of carnival rock if Bram Stoker made their debut at Isle of Wight instead of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. They are officially the dark overlords of carnival rock. I do declare it here and now!! (S)

7. Alizee – J'en Ai Marre
It is possible that I have posted this video before, but I just stumbled on this HD quality version, and I really think you should watch it. Empires crumble because of chicks like this, man. (K)

6. Broken Prayer
I couldn't resist this! Break neck hardcore mixed with space noises burping and zapping out of a thrift store keyboard. Riffs galore!! Weirdo deluxe!! From North Carolina!!!! get it! (S)

Broken Prayer by Broken Prayer

5. November 1964
Couple Polaroids from a very fucking crazy Halloween in the early 60's. Where? How? Who the hell is Erik? We may never know, but it's important to remember that when it's time to party, you should always party hard. (K)

4. Dead Lord
The dead lord in this case is Phil Lynott. Introducing Lizzy-core. Why the fuck not? Originality is an illusion anyway. (S)

3. Lesbians React to Lesbian Porn
Wait, they don't use heels? Everything I know is wrong. (K)

2. Nightbitch - Chainmaker
Glenn Danzig has no clue what he's doing anymore, and Phil Lynott is dead. We already got Ramones-core and Lizzy-Core, so bring it on: Danzig-core. In fact I think this is the best Danzig album since How The Gods Kill. (S)

1. Mike Monroe – Ballad of the Lower East Side
I talked to Mike for an hour or so last week about the ol' days with Hanoi and about how he wiled away the 80's in NYC, hanging out with Hell's Angels and the tattered shards of the New York Dolls. I used to hang out down there on the weekends around that time too, to watch weird movies and buy cool shoes and T Rex t-shirts. Fuck, I think I sorta miss the Lower East Side too, and I never even lived there. Anyway, Mike's a champ and this jam is a rocker. (K)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sat, 18 May 2013 15:58:00 +0000

11. Witchfynde – Lost Tapes of 1975
Witchfynde was one of the more sinister NWOBHM bands. Totally into the occult. Worshipped Satan all day long. Their heyday was around ’79-’80, but these recently unearthed tapes find ‘em bashing out primitive demon-prog back in the mid 70’s! This is what happens if you’re a teenage waste-case in Britain in 1974 and the Wicker Man is your favorite movie. Wild. (K)

10. Manilla Road - Open the Gates (1985)
This week Swilson finds himself knee deep in the blood of a masterpiece of metal. Crystal Logic was awesome in it's space race theme, but 1985's Open the Gates is down right brutal. Mark Shelton is a wizard. I don't mean guitar wizard, I mean I think he's actually a wizard. Beamed through time on a wave of sound. Pulverizing!!!! (S)

9. Daft Punk VS 2001: A Space Odyssey
Remember the end of the movie when the astronaut goes astro-nuts on Jupiter and races to the heart of the sun or wherever the fuck he was going? If that ending made no sense to you, then check this out. I mean, it still doesn’t make any sense with the Daft Punk soundtrack, but it’s bitchin’! (K)

8. Night Sun - Mournin' (1972)
They drank a whole pot of coffee and they took some of these, now they're totally wired. A record about taking speed, the lyrics are all over the place, but this is about speed. Come on… Night Sun, like the disco sun and good morning because while you were asleep these guys were up, way up. The song below is one of the "slow" numbers. (S)

7. Baby Groupies
From the frequently alarming 70’s rock groupie blog Diamonds from the Mine, here’s some tawdry true tales of some very young – and even some pre-teen (!) - groupies and the rock n’ roll creeps (Johnny, Iggy, Syl, Stiv, etc) who slobbered on ‘em. Weirdtimes. (K)

6. Starz
So I guess everybody knows about this New Jersey rock 'n roll outfit that inspired Motley Crue and Twisted Sister but were actually better than both those bands put together. Or maybe nobody knows. Another mid-seventies mismatch. In this case it was the mistake of being way too 80's for for 1975. (S)

5. Black Goddess
Crazy Nigerian movie from ’78 with a head-spinning afro-funk/experimental jazz soundtrack and visuals that are like a Brazilian spaghetti western. The whole thing will have you wandering around in circles for days.(K)

4. The Devil's Music Blog
A crate digger from Jersey posts really rare and totally unknown 45's from the golden years. Well worth the mouse click. (S)

3. Roger Corman Drive-in Channel
So, Youtube’s about to kick-start a bunch of subscription channels, and one of ‘em is from Roger Corman. Looks like a huge portion of his amazing catalog is gonna be available. Sexy nurses, women in prison, crazed killers, naked Angie Dickinson, cars that eat people, just imagine the madness and mayhem that awaits us! Finally, the goddamn internet offers up something useful. (K)

2. The Bridgewater Triangle
Bridgewater is a dumpy town about an hour outside of Boston. It’s got an asylum/prison. That’s what it’s known for. At least, that’s what it used to be known for. Turns out, there’s even weirder shit going down in Bridgewater, like giant apes and pterodactyls! I’m still not going, but it’s nice to know there’s monsters lurking just a few miles down the road. (K)

1. The Fertility Cult
Give this some time, you won't be disappointed, nothing is predictable. With clean pianos and a production that is closer to a jazz record than rock, keeping it all mellow, than blowing it out with fuzz and lyrics about devils and demons and pagan gods. Fantastic english as a second language accents. Slow burning occult rock destined for greatness35 years from now. (S)

Top 13 (of the Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Fri, 10 May 2013 22:24:00 +0000

10. Agent Steel - Mad Locust Rising
UFO obsessed, and not the friendly kind, power metal from 1985 Los Angeles. I hear a Manilla Road influence and it's cool man. I can't stop blazing the last track: Let It Be Done / The Day At Guyana. (S)

9. Dungeon Beast
Sure, you're hip to black metal and death metal and thrash metal and even industrial metal. Swilson plays “Nothing Metal”, and that works out pretty good for him. But are you hip to “Asshole Metal”? Well, let me introduce you to the reigning kings of this important new micro-genre, Dungeon Beast! It's like mid 80's doom/thrash played in a trash can! (K)

8. Good looking Israeli Defense Girls
Perhaps the most vital photo gallery you'll peruse this week. (K)

7. Deniz Tek - Detroit
Ann Arbor born and bred. Relocated To Australia in the early 70's to bring the Detroit rock revolution down under with Radio Birdman and New Race. On his latest album he returns to Detroit a little worn and a little wiser. (S)

6. Vidunder
Swedish hippies playing downer-blues. Great soundtrack for your next all-denim weekend! (K)

5. Rolling Stones - Unreleased Decca Live Album 1972
Being that the Stones are on tour now I think it only fitting to post this amazing document I picked up off the inter-web. I dig how sloppy and ramshackle rest of the band are up against Mick Taylor's beautiful, tight, guitar leads. It's really never been done before or since. A great case for selling your soul to the devil. Shoot smack! (S)

4. The Deathmakers
So you know when it was 1983 and you rented Faces of Death from the video store and it became apparent to you, even then, when you're were still a 14 year old numbskull, that some of the 'true death' scenes in this hodge-podge of reality horror seemed suspect at best, like the guy who parachutes into an alligator pit, or the people who sit down at a table with a hammer and bash in a monkey's skull so they can eat his brains? Well, turns out it really was all bullshit, as evidenced by this illuminaing mini-doc (from the Faces of Death blu-ray?!) featuring interviews with the SFX dudes behind the VHS madness. (K)

3. Bodega Pop Blog
Great blog. This cat buys music in the various "ethnic" Bodega's in NYC and posts it on line. Great idea. You always see those CD's on the wall behind the counter and wonder what the hell that stuff sounds like. Now we got somebody doing it for us. (S)

2. Norm McDonald Live!
First of all, all the kool kids know that Norm was the greatest SNL-er ever. Or at the very least, the most cavalier. Secondly, what the LAST thing you'd ever expect Norm to do? Exactly, a fuckin' podcast. But here he is, hosting a weekly video 'cast on Youtube, and it's a total riot. Watch him guzzle gravy and hassle his sidekick and tell tawdry Hollywood tales with pals like Kevin Nealon and Super Dave Osborne. Laffs galore! (K)

1. Paul Chain - Alkahest
This record rules. The Ex-Death SS guitar player teams up with Cathedral mad man Lee Dorian. I think it's from nineteen ninety something or other. Take note doom rockers: We need less Electric Wizard and Sleep and more Death SS/Paul Chain rip offs! (S)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sat, 04 May 2013 19:41:00 +0000

12. Joy
Freaked out stoned guitar abounds.They are from San Diego. You would think more music like this would come out of a groovy place like San Diego. But if you've ever been there the place is crawling with jocks and military men. I would imagine it's a hard place to be a hippie. (S)

11. Violet and Daisy
The problem with most assassins is, they’re not hot teenage chicks. This movie fixes all that. (K)

10. Sex Church
Welcome to the Sex Church! get on your knees!!! (S)

9. Under the Smogberry Trees
Seriously, I spent so many Sunday nights as a kid with the radio under my pillow listening to the Dr. Demento show. If you don’t have “Fish Heads” or “Kinko the Clown” permanently stuck in your head, you really missed out on a properly warped childhood. Holy fuck, Dr Demento, you are a goddamn gem. Under the Smogberry Trees is an upcoming documentary about him. Should be nuts. (K)

8. Milk Music - Cruise Your Illusion
If you live under a rock like me, a heavy rock, you might not be hip to these guys. Pitchfork madia plucked them out of the bunch and held them up like a poison apple a few years ago. Since then they've toured the world and been heaped with rave reviews, and have endured endless comparison to Dinosaur Jr. and SST records (how do you compare a band to entire label that had such diverse music???). They had initially wanted to put out records just themselves, but figured out quickly that it kinda sucks to do that, so they signed to Fat Possum. Cool move. All nonsense indie-music mania aside this is a good rock 'n roll record. Better than the last one. So keep it up Milk Music. (S)

7. Petite M’Amie
70’s Japanese boner-popping easy listening madness. I can’t even imagine what it was like living this reality. (K)

6. ASG - Blood Drive
This has some promise. Soon to be released on Relapse records. I see they are going on tour with Orange Goblin and Road Saw. I didn't know those band were still together. When I think of the roman Colosseum and gladiators fighting lions I imagine these guys playing. They are Colosseum rock! (S)

5. They Actually Made That
New web series exposing fucked-up toys that should probably not exist, like a goddamn pregnant Barbie doll. The baby shoots out of the belly. And then it’s instantly flat again. And her make-up is still perfect throughout the ‘delivery’. Yeah, they actually made that. (K)

4. Visigoth - Final Spell
Now this is a band I would have liked to have joined when I was seven, not because of the music but I was obsessed with barbarians! The goths, vandals, the huns, and the Mongols. This horde of infidels hails from the mysterious land known as Salt Lake City. Burn it!!! (S)

3. Sounds of Saturn
Saturn (the planet) emits radio waves. Really fuckin’ scary radio waves. Don’t go to Saturn, it will eat you. (K)

2. Profligate
The dead can dance, you can do the death dance and dance till you die. If you're involved with any of those death disco past times I'm guessing your listening to these Philadelphia tripsters. (S)

1. Deap Vally
Whoa! Like '74 Heart, with no access to shower facilities but lots and lots of pot. (K)

Top 13 (of the Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:47:00 +0000

11. The Art of Harvey Kurtzman
Fun (if way too short!) mini-doc about the man who brought us the original Mad magazine. I remember reading reprints of the 50's version in the 70's – they gave 'em away with 'super specials', I think – and they blew me away. Amazing art and seriously subversive humor, especially for the 1950's. Later on he invented (or at least perfected) the boner comic with Little Annie Fannie. What a guy! (K)

10. Dead Native - Keep It Strange
Kinda Bluesy, kinda trippy, lot's of rhythm changes and weirdness. I think the singer if he doesn't already own a pair, should get himself some leather pants. I mean that as a compliment. Unless it's just a bunch of fat guys in corduroy, I can't tell this video clip is kinda dark. (S)

9. Shoraiders
Basically if Bon Scott quit AC/DC around 1976 and they decided to replace him with a hot Finnish (?) chick, you'd have Shoraiders. “Just Try To Keep My Cool” is my new anthem! (K)

8. Erica
Loner, depressing bedroom synth pop from Brazil that will have you taking the entire bottle.The record sounds like it was written on the coldest cloudy day she could find in such a tropical place. "Digging My Weeds" and "Don't Let Me In" are high-lights, or should I say low lights? It's available on a groovy handmade cassette. (S)

Érica - To Believe by Érica
7. Adjust Your Tracking
New trailer for the (hopefully) soon-to-be-released doc about weirdos who collect VHS tapes. Like me, really. I am telling you right now that I have several large boxes of rare/cult VHS tapes in my basement. I don't know what to do with them. I'm not gonna fucking watch them, I just wanna pull them out every few years and look at them and think about the days when renting videos was your primary delivery service for movies. Goodtimes. The guys in this movie are way more hardcore than I am. I'm pretty sure they'd all kill you for a copy of Tales from the Qaudead Zone. (K)

6. Japanese Vapor Wave??
Vapor Wave, or better yet, Vapor Boogie is some kind of Japanese take on chill wave. I think it's from Japan. I don't know but it's mysterious and I really like it. It basically sounds like 80's funk pop played by lobotomized robots. (S)

5. Murderess
Holy fuck, an (almost, they've got a boy drummer) all-girl blackened crust band? Far out. The goddamn bass player has a four-row studded belt, an Electric Wizard t-shirt, and a leopard skin guitar strap. They did not make chicks (or bands) like this in the ol' dayz, man. (K)

4. Bronx Gangs Of The 70's on Google Maps
Want to know where The Javelins, Black Spades, Savage Nomads and War Pigs hung out in the 70's? Check on this awesome google map. It charts all the turf of all the top street gangs of the glorious South Bronx seventies. Warriors come out and play!! If your brave you can do a walking tour, or should I say running tour. (S)

3. Can The Documentary
If you like Krautrock (you like Krautrock), you gotta watch Can the Documentary. It's a documentary about Can, mothefucker. Let's do this. (K)

2. Lord Of The Logs: Designing the Metal Underground
yep you guessed it, a book dedicated to the history of Black Metal logos designed by Christophe Szpajdel. Need I say more? (S)

1. Yes Mistress
If Swilson was 25 right now and listened to punk rock instead of Hawkwind, this would be his band. Junk punks wreaking havoc with two chords and five dollar sunglasses. They have a new single out, “Gonna Get Arrested”, it's boss. Buy it. Better yet, steal it. That'll go with the theme. (K)

Bubblegum Riot
Rapid Pulse Records

The Humpers were the Beatles for people who spend half their life in prison. For most of the 90's, if you were in Hollywood and you wanted to piss your pants or puke on the guy in front of you while watching a rock band, The Humpers were that band. Pure rock n' roll mayhem. I always wanted to go to LA and hang out with them, but there's no way I could've handle it. I'd be dead before the weekend was out. I dunno what happened to 'em, I think they took a shot at fame and fortune somewhere along the way and they got big in Europe and then who knows what, probably some international intrigue and a pregnant Yugoslavian hooker or two, but eventually Humpers mainmen Scott “Deluxe” Drake and Jeff Fieldhouse ended up back in the gutters of LA, and here they are, fronting another supersonic balls-rock band with a name even ickier than The Humpers. And guess what? It's fucking rock solid. I dunno why it's called Bubblegum Riot, because it's all riot, no bubblegum. Six tracks, all of 'em a slug the guts. I especially dig the B-side, what with the furious riffola of Her Majesty's Ass and the manly swagger of The Chinese Twist, but it's not like the A-side if full of pussy rock, or nothin'. Killer EP, is what I'm saying. It'll probably change your life. It'll definitely make you wanna polish your shoes. In summation: Scott Drake is like the fifth or 6th coolest motherfucker alive, now and forever, amen.

Bad Wisdom: Rock Belt

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:57:00 +0000

Originally published in Classic Rock Magazine, 2005.

Every rock n’ roller needs a bad-ass belt. A belt that says, “I am your main man if you’re lookin’ for trouble”, you know? It’s got to be cracked, vintage black leather, and it’s got to have a cool, over-sized buckle, and like any superhero accessory, it’s got to have an awesome origin story. Like mine, for example. My belt is commonly referred to as the Danzig belt, because the buckle is a snarling, be-horned demon, just like the one on the first Danzig record. It’s also got a bunch of lesser metal demons embossed on the sides. It’s double-dyed black, and it weighs about 5 pounds. I dunno how many ‘stone’ that is, but it’s heavy, Jack. I bought it from this teenage Vietnamese war-baby punk rock chick I was dating when I was 20. She decided to run away from home, and she needed some quick cash, so I bought it from her for like, $20, and then she split. I never her saw her again, but the best part was, when people would say, “Hey, what happened to your girlfriend?” I’d tell them the truth: “She ran away from home.” Which is about the best answer ever, isn’t it?

So I used to strap this big, ridiculous belt on whenever it was time for the super-rock show. Add skull rings, shitkicker boots, and a Circus of Power t-shirt, comb your long, jet-black hair back, and it’s all plastic fantastic lobster telephones from here, brothers and sisters. That’s the kinda gear holy divers and tattooed beat messiahs like us are supposed to wear when it’s time to howl with the wolves.

“Supposed to” being the operative term here. You see, I have not been able to strap that stupid belt around my expanding, 36-year old gut for the past 5 years. There’s barely any hair left to comb, and I cannot get the C.O.P. shirt over my head. Something has gone horribly wrong here. The rock show is still happening, I just suddenly appear woefully unprepared for it. Can you still bang the head that will not bang without the Danzig belt? Is there rock n’roll life after the teenage runaway ex-girlfriend becomes an overweight suburban mother of two? I did not know, and to be honest, I didn’t even want to find out. But then the Hammer of the Gods came crashing into my life.

A month or so ago, I got an email from Thor, Rock Warrior. He was coming to town with his band for a gig, and he wanted to me come. I hadn’t been to the rock show for at least a year. In that time, I blew off the Backyard Babies, Motorhead, Urge Overkill (twice!), just about every band I’ve written about in the past 12 months, and even my pals in the Genders, who came all the way from fuckin’ Israel to play a hamburger joint half a mile away from my house. I never mentioned this before, but the whole reason for my self-imposed exile lately is that goddamn belt. I’ve been going to the gym 4 days a week for months and months just to get that thing around my waist, but to no avail.

I still couldn’t get it on when Thor wrote, but I have a strange allegiance to this man. Thor asking me to go to his show is like some German kid getting a personal note from one of the goons in Manowar, asking for his attendance at one of their loincloth rallies. It’s a big deal, you see. So I said yes, because I had no real choice. I heard the call, and I answered.

And so, the preparations began. As a Classic Rock reader, you probably already know this, but when you’ve reached a certain age, your priorities change. Here are the important factors to consider when attending a rock show in your mid-to-late 30’s:

What am I gonna wear?
Obviously, the classic Sleazegrinder rock-show gear is out. No more leather pants or sleeveless anything for me, ever. I’ve seen guys my age who attempt the 1987 look in 2005, and they look like bowls of pudding stuffed into gay biker costumes. No thanks, man. I’m just going to opt for cargo pants and workboots, and just try to blend in with the scenery. Thank god my wife is skinny and good looking. At least it distracts people from the middle-aged disaster I’ve become.

How late will I be out?
Dude, if this thing is gonna go past 1 AM, I’m totally leaving early. I need at least 6 hours of sleep, or I’m fried. I have not hung around for an encore since 1995.

Will there be seats?
If I wanted to pay cash money to stand around for two hours, waiting for something to happen, then I would just gotten on the subway. It’s cheaper. Which reminds me,

Am I on the guest list?
Because I did not spend the last six years of my life reviewing friggin’ Fu Manchu records to pay $12 for a night of too-loud retro-metal and disastrous haircuts. Which reminds me,

Will I have to talk to anybody?
Because standing around in a dark, cramped, foul-smelling room while some guy I went to see Mercyful Fate with in 1984 yaps at me about, well, going to see Mercyful Fate in 1984, is just too much to take, even when the God of Thunder himself is in the house. Which reminds me,

Is there any parking nearby?
Because I’m probably going to want to get the hell out of there pretty fast, and I don’t want to have to walk ten blocks. Especially since I have to get up early.

These were not concerns of mine back when I could still wear the Danzig belt. But anyway, we went to the show. Thor is pushing 50 now. He looks more like your barrel-chested grandpa then the guy in the comic books, and his loyal drummer looks like Gary Glitter on a chocolate cake diet. They played songs they originally wrote 20 years ago, exactly like they did back then. Thor kept putting on crazy masks and horned helmets, most of which would hang crazily askew on his head for a few seconds before falling off. At one point, he picked up a lantern, one of those bug-zapper jobs you can get at the drugstore, and switched it on. It started glowing purple, and as soon as you thought, “Wow, that’s a strange lantern”, he barked, “This next song is called Strange Lantern!” and then his merchandise guys, who wore cheesy skull make-up, stormed onto the stage and bounced off his Supergrandpa belly in mock battle. Thor was obviously having the time of his life, as was I. And there was no way in Hell he was ever gonna fit into a Danzig belt either.

Which got me to thinking. Are middle-aged rockers like us supposed to just sit around and grow old and tired, or do we rally like Thor, strapping on goofy Viking hats and rocking the goddamn city one more time?

I don’t know about you, but I think I’d rather rock.

As long as I’m home by midnight.

Top 13 (Of The Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:03:00 +0000

13. Motherslug

Who knew ten or fifteen years ago that 70's inspired rock ( I'm trying to avoid the words Doom or Stoner, but WTF, it's really hard to do) would become as common and as vast as teenage hardcore punk? With thousands of releases all over the world with such a subtle difference between the bands that it takes an expert ear to distinguish one from the other? Also who knew that it would become my "job" to dig through these bands? Here's another one for the pile. All the hallmarks you come to expect are here. Except these guys are from Australia where they still know how to inject something called swagger into there music. So it stands out. Although the world has not been set on fire I find myself rocking the fuck out whenever these guys come up on captured rotation. Dig? Mother Slug. Far out. (S)

12. Send Back My Stamps

We are, crazily enough, in the midst of a xeroxed 'zine resurgence, which is awesome, but it's important to remember that, 20 -25 years ago, zines were THE ONLY WAY to know what the fuck was going on in rock n' roll, especially sub-genres like punk, goth, or metal. Send Back My Stamps is a blog that digitizes and posts copies of old metalzines from the 80's. Some of them, like Kick Ass, I read religiously, over and over. Nobody reads things even once anymore, never mind repeatedly. Those were the fuckin' days, man. (K)

11. Nick 3 AM

Nick Perry is a mad genus/genius who stays up every night, for no fuckin' money mind you (what's money?), and kicks out a psychedelic daily comic that's the best thing this side of the far side. He also was briefly a guitar player in the Swilson band before the cops broke up our last show and sent me packing back to Jersey. Get hip to Nick 3 A.M. (S)

10. Making Tracks: The Rise OF Blondie by Debbie Harry, Chris Stein & Victor Bockris

I was 2 years old and saw Debbie Harry on television and told my mom I was going to "marry Blondie". I know, I know, "get in line, Swilson". Blondie in their own words. This is an arousing book in many ways, loaded to the gills with photos, Debbie looks hot in all of 'em, tons of great stuff about NYC in the coolest year in hell, and awesome stories about climbing the pop ladder to super stardom. (S)

9. Hank Wood and the Hammerheads - Hard on the Street

I was reading the March issue of Maximum Rock N Roll this week, which has all their best-of 2012 lists, and pretty much everybody over there agreed that "Go Home" by Hank Wood and the Hammerheads was THE punk record of the year. Which, you know, in the spirit of punk, made me want to dismiss it outright. And to be honest, the mix of clanging proto-hardcore guitars, Flipper freakouts, and Farfisa organ is pretty goddamn grating. But this song is the balls. Have you been on the street, man? It's hard out there. Hank's right on that one. (K)

8. Purson - The Circle and The Blue Door

This comes out in March but it sounds promising. Released by Metal Blade of all people, who some how are putting out some trippy stuff these days. A british group that has a foot planted firmly in the way out fringes of the 60's with some serious modern day hippie death goddess fronting going on. (S)

7. Billy Idol interview

I like a lot of stuff about this 70's era interview with Billy, but I think my fave part is when the guys asks him, if he ever makes any money, what he plans on spending it on, and Billy says, "Drugs." A couple years later, he actually started making a lot of money. And he spent it all on drugs! True blue, that guy. (K)

6. Michael Jackson - Ben

The most beautiful song in the world for the weirdest movie in the world. This made me want to cry. The government should have protected Michael. From himself and our children......but protected him none the less. Like a national park or something. (S)

5. Jennifer

Saw this bizarre '78 Carrie rip-off this week, and I recommend it for two reasons: a great disco scene (with terrible disco clothes), and a totally what-the-fuck-is-happening finale with giant snake puppets. (K)

4. Shooting Guns

Most likely these Canadians didn't anticipate that their band name would be so timely and political when they decided on it. Satanic Psychedelic horror hammered rock with out vocals except what I like to call the "Drug Choir". Many a doomer could take a cue from these hockey players. If you don't have something truly wicked and weird to say best not say it at all. Speak with grooved orange tongue. Ya feel me? (S)

Born To Deal In Magic: 1952-1976 by Shooting Guns

3. Icon Gallery

Seriously, when's the last time you heard an awesome Girlschool ripoff? (K)

Valiance // The Pact by Icon Gallery

2. The Vipers - Punkest Motherfucker Alive
The Vipers are a 'fake' punk band, the jokey alter-ego of a pretty lame Pittsburgh pop-punk band called Punchline. But if Scum of the Earth, Freestone, Christ Child or the Sniveling Shits have taught us anything, it's that fake punk is sometimes better than "real" punk. So fuck it, The Vipers are punkest motherfuckers I've heard all year! PS Swilson, we should totally do a "fake punk" episode of the podcast. That would be goodtimes. (K)

1. Pay TV Ad

We should have headed this warning years ago! Not for any reason but for the fact that we now watch scripted shows that pretend to be real and acted by non actors. Just saying….(S)

Top 13 (of the Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 14:42:00 +0000

10. Owiny Sigoma Band
Kenyan Afro chants mixed with British electro grooves. What's not to love? Righteously mellow. (S)

9. Haunts of the Very Rich
Trippy, doomy 1972 TV movie of the week about a bunch of rich assholes who are either at a luxury hotel or in hell. They're trying to figure it out. Starring Lou Grant, Phyllis, Honey West, and Donna Mills! A total downer, would go great with an Electric Wizard soundtrack (K)

8. The Heavy Eyes
A new album from the Heavy Eyes. Memphis, buffalos, bell bottoms, bong hits….all that shit rules. (S)

Maera by The Heavy Eyes
7. Biters - Hallucination Generation
It's been a while since I've heard a sleaze-rock band that really got me going, but these shaggy-haired MFs get it right. Not only is Hallucination Generation a rocking, hook-heavy, Dead Boys-y jam, but the video is a spot-on homage to They Live. Plus, it's got tits. Can't ask for much more of out three minutes, can you? (K)

6. Tom Cat
Look at these crazy kids! Raised on rock in the outer regions of Slovenia. A land that still releases things only on CD. That's how crazy they are!! (S)

Bits N' Pieces by TomCat

5. Lydia Lunch - Trust the Witch
If, like many, you thought that Lydia Lunch angried herself to death somewhere in the 90's, I have good news for you. The no-wave destruction queen actually moved to N'awlins, formed a crazy-hot stoner/demonblooze band, and released a smoking album, Trust the Witch. Of course, it would probably horrify 80's Lydia to find out that modern-day Lydia is now penning sub-Junkyard lyrics like "Playing a game called ballin' the jack, got my money in pocket and my aces stacked", but what the hell, the 80' s me would be horrified to find out all my fuckin' hair fell out, too. Anyway, bad-ass album! (K)

4. BB Estas Muerto
What is it about purple and black? The new rock gestapo colors? First The Bloody Hammers and now BB Estas Muerto, I think it translates to BB Is Dead. I can't tell if I actually like this but I'm drawn in by the colors, man. Hailing from Argentina, you can skip the slower songs but the fast ones sizzle like the very delicious steak that they are famous for down there. (S)

3. White Hell
If you're looking to while away an afternoon immersed in demonology, I suggest you check out this great and thorough list of first wave black metal bands compiled by a fastidious metal warrior who calls himself SkunkSpritz. Although I'm sure there's a few that were overlooked, it's still pretty impressive. I mean, he's even got the fuckin' Antichrist demo on here. Some of the bands/titles were completely unknown to me, and my favorite new discovery from the list is the 1985 "Lucifer" single by White Hell. White Hell are listed as a Japanese band, but they don't sound remotely Japanese. They sound like a long-lost NWOBHM band that aims to be more obnoxious (and more Satanic, if that's possible) than Venom. Who the fuck knows exactly what's happening here, but I fuckin' love it, regardless of where it came from. Just totally and irredeemably disgusting. (K)

2. The Fume
The jam of the weekend! This Weekend! Every Weekend!! (S)

Living For The Weekend by The Fume
1. RIP Annette
Advanced Demonology loves Annette. Always. We miss her, she died. (K)

Top 13 (Of the Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 20:45:00 +0000

10. The Nova Scotia Money Pit
You know, my dad was from Nova Scotia. He always said there was nothin' going on there, but clearly, he was trying to keep me from succumbing to the madness of the Money Pit. Since the 1770's, treasure hunters have been excavating a giant pit on Oak Island. Nobody knows who made the pit or why or what's in there. Some folks think Captain Kidd buried his booty deep in that hole. Some folks think the Holy Grail is in there. Folks have died digging in that pit and since no one's hit the bottom yet, it will probably continue to claim victims. You can waste a lot of time thinking about that weird hole, but this 4 minute documentary will hit all the main points. Swilson, grab a shovel, we're going to Canada. (K)

9. Penetration - Moving Targets
From 1976, A first wave punk band from Durham England. They took the name from a Stooges song so it's gotta be good right. Female fronted often compared to Patti Smith. I think she sounds like the singer from the X-Ray Speckz but maybe she just sounds punk in general. Awesome socially scathing lyrics, super smart if you like that sorta thing. (S)

8. Toy Place
Listen, I collect records. Rock n' roll's never gonna let me go. But if I was free from this beast, and if I'd had the common sense to finish college and get a decent job, I'd probably collect vintage toys from the 60's and 70's. You know, like Vincent Price Shrunken Head Kits, and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, and fuckin' Laugh In lunchboxes. Some dude in Vermont did just that, and he's got a museum with 100,000 toys in it. Sonofabitch. This mini-doc takes you inside and shows you around. Pretty amazing. (K)

7. ZUUL
Touted as NWOAHM band (I'll let you figure that out). Zuul are pretty much a no nonsense almost gimmick free heavy metal band. I dig the singers voice it's nether high nor low, like a dude you'd hang with drinking beers and not fearing the reaper. Zuul rules! (S)

6. Soap & Skin - Sugarbread
Anja Plaschg is some beautiful Austrian chick who composes “dark ambient” music, whatever that might be, under the name Soap & Skin. I'm pretty confused about her whole career, to be honest, but what I do know is that she's got a new 7” out (or at least it was, I think it's sold out) called Sugarbread and it is balls-out amazing, a swooping, sweeping, cinematic epic of atom-age synthetic thunder. Wow! (K)

5. Honky - 421
Further proof that we're your done freaking' out you just want to boogie (S)

4. I Dream of Wires
Twelve minute trailer for a four hour documentary on the history of synthesizers. Holy fuck. (K)

3. The Cosmic Dead - Inner Sanctum
A cassette releases of some serious space occult jams thats got your Advanced Demonological name all over it, in blood. (S)

Inner Sanctum by The Cosmic Dead

2. Roy Orbitron/Huge Pupils - George Harrison
For people who think that brain damaged post/pre mental breakdown records like Oar, or Madcap Laughs, should be a musical genre all to itself and played by seemingly sane people who have ingested bath salts. I'm one of those people by the way. I'm not sure where the Roy Oribitron stops and the Huge Pupils starts but that's not the point. Point is this is really righteous. (S)

George Harrison by Roy Orbitron

1. Chains – Dancing With My Demons
Staight outta Slovenia (!), swirling, narcotic occult doom n' roll inspired by Death SS and Satanic weirdo Paul Chain and hippie vampire porno flicks from 1971. This is my kinda nightmare! (K)

12. Fugitive Kind
TCM had a little Tennessee Williams fest a few weeks back and I "taped" 'em all and I'm finally getting around to watching them. They are all fantastic but a real surprise stand out was this 1959 burner starring Brando. It's based on his 1957 play Orpheus Descending about a drifter who blows into town and stirs things up, but as with all his plays that's just the surface. Beneath lies a bleak cauldron of racism, sex, and southern morality. The film had to be a little bit of an inspiration to David Lynch's Wild At Heart, it's co-star Anna Magnani, who after some further research I'm convinced is a proto-hippie death goddess. I also now have to officially see every film starring the young Marlon Brando, he really is the black metal of movie acting, whatever that means, check the opener. (S)

11. Alice in Paris
Been listening to a lot of Alice Cooper's early 80's new-wave stuff lately. Flush the Fashion, Zipper Catches Skin, dada, and especially Special Forces, his wigged-out 1981 concept record about a gay suburban paramilitary squad. Alice refers to Special Forces as one of his “blackout” albums, and claims to have no memory of writing, recording, or touring it. If you've seen the drunk tranny look he was sporting at that point, then you can see why he'd wanna forget about it. The Special Forces era is immortalized in a TV special called Alice Cooper in Paris. Here it is. It's amazing and terrifying, just like it oughta be. (K)

10. Pimping in the 70's
I wish my home movies looked like this. Pimp God, Cadillac, Candy Man, Squeaky, and host of other flamboyant players of 1974. Narrated by the pimp legend: Bishop Don Juan. It's too bad pimps today just aint as cool as these guys, I've seen 'em. They dress like basket ball players. (S)

9. Horror Europa
Mark Gatiss is an amiable British actor who, in this fun and insightful documentary, travels around Europe visiting various hotbeds of cinematic horror. The trip to Dario Argento's cheesy “museum” in the basement of his Profondo Rosso horror memorabilia store is a highlight, as is examinations of obscure classics like Daughters of Darkness and Les Diaboliques. It will definitely have you hunting some of these titles down. (K)

8. Agitation Free - Malesh (1972)
Woah! This is just beautiful man. (S)

7. On the Road: Season 3
On the Road is a rock-doc series produced by Vice and hosted by the mustache dude from Eagles of Death Metal. Season 3 finds him heading to Birmingham, the birthplace of heavy metal, to find out how it all went down. Looks amazing! (K)

6. Black Roots (1970) Vs. Deep Purple Mandrake Root (1970)
I was looking for some footage of the Lionel Rogosin's documentary about what it means to be a black man in america in the late 60's early 70's, because it's a great film. Awesome interviews with folk and blues musicians as they share stories over bottles of whiskey and Miller beer. I couldn't find any but I did find this awesome footage of Deep Purple playing the song "mandrake root" check Gillan's threads man. (S)

5. Medusa – First Step Beyond
Sabbath worshipping teenage losers record a four track demo in a haze of bonghits and cheap beer buzz in 1975, and then promptly forget about it for almost forty years. And then they dust it off and release it. On a deluxe gatefold vinyl with a crushed velvet cover. What's it sound like? Exactly like you think it does. Far fuckin' out, man. (K)

4. Free Live 1970
I'm into bands named "Free"this week. I hate Paul Rodgers in Bad Company but I love this. The bass player was a flamboyant gay man, the guitar player a flamboyant drug man, who keeps it simple and heavy, even though he did't have too. Hats off! (S)

3. Terminal Gods
“Terminal Gods are the heavy leather love children of Iggy and Lemmy, rock 'n' roll outlaws for the new millennium, low-slung, black-clad reprobates riding the crazed rock beast to oblivion.” Buy everything they ask you to. (K)

2. Blossom Toes
If you tune into the Advanced Demonology Crime episode you'll hear the Blossom Toes. I thought I'd post some groovy footage of 'em. They are a pretty complex band for the time. More than meets the paisley hippie eye. Man I wish I was on french TV right now. (S)

1. Ghost BC – Year Zero
This video answers all your questions about who, exactly, is behind Ghost and what their intentions are. Spoiler alert: the devil and chicks, and they want your soul. Heavy! (K)

12. Valerie Harper Blogathon
You probably heard that the great Valerie Harper - AKA America's
mid-70's TV sweetheart – recently announced her likely imminent demise
from this world. She vows to live until she's dead, which is not as
easy as it sounds, and we're all pullin' for her. In the meantime, our
pal Amanda By Night, editrix at the world-famour Made for TV Mayhem
Blog, has organized a week-long Valerie Harper blogathon, wherein
like-minded TV casualties wax rhapsodic about their fave Harper
memories, from Rhoda to trauma-inducing TV flick Don't Go to Sleep.
Awesome lady, awesome memories. Check it out. (K)

11. Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
I don't know the first thing about this outfit but I just scored a 3 disc box set. I figured why not, that's a good way to get into a band. It seems at clear and present time, and I've only had the thing for a few hours, that this is some mad genius early 70's inventiveness that was probably too smart for 1974, it was certainly too smart for America in 1974. They also remind me a little of 10cc meets Mott The Hoople. I believe this will be getting some serious captured rotation. (S)

10. Circus 2000
Been jammin' on this long-gone early 70's Italian occult-prog band all
week, and was psyched to uncover this fantastic live clip of 'em from
some festival, shot by the director of Cannibal Holocaust!
“Doochu need some sonchine yeah?” Sweet! (K)

9. Repulsion - Horrified (1989)
A record I never heard before and nicked it off the Precious Metal list. Wow! These kids recorded a demo tape, invented the blast beat, tried to get signed, didn't get signed, they broke the band up, joined the Army, had kids of their own, the tape got traded around the underground without them knowing it, and they changed the face of heavy metal forever. (S)

8. Alan Partridge The Movie (The trailer)
Steve Coogan's BBC series “I'm Alan Partridge” was an amazing,
hilarious, and frequently painful mockumentary/fake talk show about a
delusional asshole and his non-career. And now he's getting his own
movie! I can't wait to see it in the theater and hear all the groaning
from the audience. Steve Coogan makes Larry David seem like Tom Hanks.
(K)

7. Atlantic City
I've been spending allot of time in the Jersey shore hell-scape known as Atlantic City. This movie was cool because it was shot when only two casinos where up and they were about to tare the place down to build more. It's a good story too. It got nominated for a million Oscars the year it came out and won none. Too bad. (S)

6. Day After the Sabbath Volume 85
It's always exciting when a new volume of this insane, sprawling,
proto-metal online comp series is released. Volume 85 is based on Tel
Aviv rock writer Ra'anan Chelled's book 'Demons Fairies & Wailin
Guitars: The best 100 obscured rock acts 1968-1976', which sounds like
a fantastic read. As always, even the most advanced Demonologist will
find some surprising new gems...like this one! (K)

5. Bwana
Amazing latin funk grooves from Nicaragua 1972. A much need relief from all this extreme metal and euro-prog we've been listening to huh. A much needed break in antatimaption of the spring equinox right around the corner. (S)

4. Dust mini-doc
For the past week, I've been interviewing the various members of
proto-metal legends for a story in Classic Rock magazine. If you want
the short version, here's a great five minute primer on the band with
interviews from everybody and some crazy rare live footage! (K)

3. Reyner Banham Loves Los Angles
It's just cool to ride around L.A. in the 70's. This 1972 BBC documentary is an awesome look at the strange Architectural landscape of City of Night. (S)

2. Blood Tsunami
If I was asked to review Blood Tsunami's new album, 'For Faen!', it
would only take two words: holy fuck. Probably the most violent thrash
metal record I've ever heard. Lyrics that make you wanna crawl into a
fetal ball (“In order to ejaculate, he has to stab a child!”), singer
who rolls his r's in a fantastically obnoxious manner. From the guy in
Emperor who killed a guy in the 90's and the host of MTV Norway's
Headbanger's Ball, which must be a hell of a thing to see. HOLY FUCK!
(K)

1. Bathory - One Rode The Asa Bay
Great collection of Bathory stuff. Kicking it off with the amazing viking metal masterpiece One Rode To Asa Bay video. A few cool interviews with Quorthon and some weird behind the scenes footage. It's a must for Bathory fans like you. (S)

Top 13 (of the Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 16:12:00 +0000

12. Tekeshi Terauchi & the Bunnys
Know for his wild frenetic Ventures inspired guitar playing, Tekeshi Terauchi takes a wild stab at the classics. Play this when you want to impress your friends with how cultured you are. (S)

11. Chico No Face – Big Time
New band of Canadian garage-sike slackers. Not only is this jam a perfect slice of post-Stooges snot-pop, but the video seamlessly merges the band into a wasteland of 80's VHS garbage. Groovy. (K)

10. Frumpy - Frumpy 2 (1976)
I don't got Frumpy 1 , I only got Frumpy 2. This a great example of good prog and an example of a bad name. Who the hell wants to hang with a band called Frumpy? no matter what the music sounds like. (S)

9. Vigilante Force
Saw this redneck revenge flick earlier this week, and it really shook me up. Jan Michael Vincent lives in a small town that is suddenly overrun by lawless rowdies when an oil rigs goes up. All the cops in town get shot up, so instead of hiring more trained police, the mayor asks Jan to ask his psycopathic big brother (Kris Kristofferson) and his gang of loony Nam vets to ride into town and establish law and order. There's no way that can go wrong, is there? Total mayhem ensues. I can't believe this was rated PG, it's wall-to-wall ultraviolence. Plus, 70's Victoria Principal! (K)

8. Akira Ishikawa & Count Buffaloes - Uganda (1972)
Now I just read someplace that this duo was a krautrock Japanese band?!?! That's blowng my trip a little. I don't know much about them except they are thinking maybe about going back to Africa even though they have never been there before, and although yes, there are technically grooves going on, Africans wouldn't make music as anti-groovy as this! Like if Blue Cheer broke into a high school musicology class, got a hold of some congas and dropped a tab of brown. This whole thing was clearly thought up and recorded in one blissed out Japanese afternoon (good band name there). (S)

7. Les Momies De Palerme
I'm not usually one for ambient music because I live in the city, so there's ambient music already happening everywhere I go. How much more can my fuckin' brain take? But Les Momies De Palerme (The Mummies of Palermo!), is an exception. Primarily because they're French chicks, but also because their basement synths and alleyway field recordings are unsettling and groovy in the best way possible. The soundtrack to a sleazy super 8 movie that never ends. (K)

6. Lowell Fulsom - Tramp (1967)
Lowell comes from a long line of lovers. He says so in the song. If you put this much personality into a record today, nobody would believe you. Lowell is considered one of the cornerstones of West coast blues. Yeah, they even get the blues in California. (S)

5. Ike & Tina - River Deep Mountain High Promo

I've watched this clip like a million times. The syncopated dance moves, Ike smacking the fuck out of an acoustic guitar (what?), everybody's crazy-intense stares...there is violence and unbridled lust simmering just under the surface here, and it threatens to erupt through the entire performance. This is about as metal as you can get, really. (K)

4. Malcolm Cecil - Radiance (1981)
This guy has the dubious honor of building the worlds largest home-built synthesizer. He was also part of the amazing duo Tonto's Expanding Head Band. He made one solo Lp and it's a mellow synth-o-thon guaranteed to relax and cool even the most warm of warm jets. Flute fans will enjoy the cameo appearance of new age flute star Paul Horn (S)

3. Harlots of 42nd Street

Anybody who's into the New York Dolls (which is everybody, as far as I know), has heard of these dudes. They were the Dolls' fiercest competition, just as skinny and rockin' and obsessed with girls' groups and Motown. Of course, David J always professed that they were actually truck hauling thugs under the tight pants, not unlike those bruisers in Mud, but this painfully brief footage suggests otherwise. Mistakenly labeled the Dolls, this is the only known footage of the Harlots playing in Central Park in '73. It's only 32 seconds long, but it's awesome. The long-gone supervillains of first-wave glam! (K)

PS: here's their non-hit, Spray Paint Bandit.

2. My Solid Ground - My Solid Ground (1971)
Seth the Cyclopian drummer from Swilson tossed this one my way. We could argue semantics on wether this is progressive rock or krautrock but we would be blowing the trip, man. And What a trip it is. Nothing about this lets you off the psychedelic hook. Like taking mescaline and looking in the mirror, sometimes horrifying sometimes beautiful, all depending on your state of mind. (S)

1. Fathom
Here's the problem: there's so much music out there, how the fuck can you find stuff you like when you have to wade through hundreds and hundreds of bands and thousands of songs? We're not gonna live forever, after all. Blogs are good, but you gotta sit there and fucking read them. Ain't nobody got time for that. Well, here's a good solution. This handy site works simply but effectively. You search on a band you like (for clarity's sake, let's go with Hellhammer). It finds the band, starts playing one of their albums, and all around it, similar albums pop up: Possessed, Venom, Midnight, Darkthrone, etc. Now click on Darkthrone, it'll hip you to Mayhem, Marduk, Bathory and Immortal. Immortal gets you Dark Funeral, 1349, Tsjuder, Demonaz, and Taake. Who? Exactly. See what I'm saying? Check it out, it's goodtimes. (K)

Top 13 (of the Week)

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:33:00 +0000

Sure,you know what's cool. But do you know what's really fuckin' FAR OUT? That's where Advanced Demonology takes over. Every week, (K)en and (S)wilson trudge through the murky waters of the pop culture hellscape, dredging up sparkly morsels of wonder. These are the result of our latest foray into the world of the weird, our wildest, wiggest-out picks of the week. Call it our 13 Point Program.

13.Scorpions - In Trance
I dig the Scorpions but I haven't gone over them with my Advanced Demonological fine toothed comb. I had recently been enjoying the early stuff because I realized that they are basically a Krautrock band and I love Krautrock. I also was familiar with some of the early 80's "Metal" records, who isn't, but I missed this mid period when they became "Hard Rock". I had Virgin Killer, I bought it like every good creep does just to shock people, but the record to get from this period is In Trance. Wow! Pure proto-NWOBHM way better than Deep Purple, kinda like Sad Wings Of Destiny Judas Priest. It vacillates between total depression and complete unbridled lust. That's why it's a hit with the teenagers. Old news to some new news to me. (S)

12. Kenneth Higney – Attic Demonstration
Just picked up this crucial reissue from One Kind Favor Records and it's full-on amazing. Ken Higney is a spaced-out crooner from Nowheresville, and Attic Demonstration is his cry for help. Recorded in 1975, but something tells me it could have been recorded in '81 or '97, and it would still sound exactly the same, like the Shaggs had a big brother who was locked in the closet for a long time and now he's out and he's got a guitar. Run for your life! (K)

11. Them - Now and Them
Who's interested in Them after Van Morrison? The Answer: Nobody. Which is a shame because yes, the magic of the Irish pub blue eyed soul is completely gone, but in it's wake the post-Van Them churned out TWO mammoth acid rock monsters that belong high up in the british psychedelic cannon with my friend jack, my white bicycle, and matilda mother. The first being "Walking in the Queens Garden" a brain hemorrhaging LSD stomper, the second, an almost, and I mean almost, kraut-rock (before there was such a thing) grooving "Square Room". On a weird side note the the post-Van Morrison Them,after recording a Swedish Only Lp(?) produce by Kim Fowley (look for a review on a future Top 13), relocated to Amarillo Texas!! I guess at the time it was better than Northern Ireland?(S)

10. Demon Lover Diary
Speaking of 1975, this grungy, lo-fi documentary follows a group of regional filmmakers as they attempt to make a low-budget backwoods horror flick called Demon Lover. Everything goes wrong and things turn ugly. It ends in a hail of shotgun fire. This is woozy, fuzzy, doomy, and groovy. It's also way more entertaining than the actual movie they were making. (K)

Demon Lover Diary (1980) from Film Ape on Vimeo.

9. Spring - Sping (1971)
Mellow mellotron music from the UK in the early 70's. The first half of this sole output by the unknown "prog" act is pure bliss. Side two doesn't reach the dazzling heights of the A side but is still worth a spin. Track it down on any number of obscure-oh blogs on the inter-web. (S)

8. Anicent Wisdom – Deathlike
Speaking of Demon Lover Diary, those guys were super into Ted Nugent. But if I was going to remake the film – and I totally fuckin' would – Ancient Wisdom would provide the soundtrack. This is a whole new sorta black metal – semi-acoustic, grungy, pretty in spots, but still Satanic and grim as fuck. And it's about as 1975 as you can possibly get. (K)

7. Love - Black Beauty
Recored as a "solo" album for Buffalo records in 1973, it only made it acetate and stayed that way until now. High Moon records did a fantastic job of releasing this lost Love, soon to be classic. Arthur Lee and his gang of psychedelic brothers turn it on in a heavy drugged out funk mode, a little Hendrix, a little Sly, but all undeniably Arthur. Boss!!! (S)

6. When Albums Ruled The World
Also speaking of 1975, remember when everybody consumed music via vinyl records? Double-albums, gatefolds, fold-out posters, picture discs, hiss, pops, crackles? Fuck man, good times. If you haven't already switched back to vinyl, this sweet, star-studded BBC doc will probably send you straight to the used record store. (K)

5. Imperial State Electric - Pop War
It's Nicke Andersson from the Hellacopters new band. And guess what? It rocks hard! Basically a sequel to Rock & Roll Is Dead. Consume with can beer only, no fancy bottles. (S)

4. The Slayer Mag Diaries
Back when I was a teenager, I wrote for a metal fanzine called Suck City. One of the other dudes who wrote for it was my old buddy Ian Christe, who, among many other notable things, now runs Bazillion Points Press. One of their latest releases is the Slayer Mag Diaries, which basically compiles 20 years of Norwegian extreme metalzine Slayer in a mammoth 800 page collection. Last weekend I had to go to LA to interview Alice in Chains for Classic Rock magazine, so I picked it up and read it on the plane. While the text is pretty basic (English isn't the Slayer mag dude's first language, after all), the interviews and splotchy photos and screwy logos and first-account reporting of the Norwegian black metal scene are all fascinating, and it inspired me to listen to a lot of really rippin' jams that I haven't heard for almost 30 years. Turns out Sodom and Destruction and Iron Angel are still awesome! Read this book! (K)

3. Rockabye Baby
So my daughter was born last weekend. She rules! She digs Sabbath and Kiss already and she doesn't even know it. Thanks to the Rockabye Baby rock 'n roll lullaby series. I actually recommend these album to you non parents if you just want to put on some really soothing dinner music, or maybe if you've been up all night getting loaded and you need something to help you come down easy. Lot's of cool bands in the series. Collect 'em all! (S)

2. Lullaby – Satan My Master
Probably the weirdest band in the Slayer Diaries, and that's saying something. Lullaby is a pretty, flame-haired Brazilian chick who fronted a mysterious lo-fi doom/occult rock band in the early 90's. Big deal, you say, there's dozens of female-fronted doom-rock bands around these days. True, but you have never heard anything like this in your life. Her vocals are COMPLETELY INSANE. Listen to this and pretend she's hiding in your closet. Holy fuck. (K)

1. Hydra Vein - Rather Death Than False Faith
Ken turned me onto these guys just yesterday! Woah!! Really outstanding late 80's thrash, with super weird guitar "solos". Things like Denim battle jackets, junior mustaches, and suicidal rage come to mind. I got to get me a Hydra Vein back patch because I'd rather be dead than have false faith, maaaaan….wait let me think about that one. (S)

12. Tombstoned
So somehow it took till 2012 (the year the world was supposed to end) for a doom rock band to name themselves Tombstoned. Had to happen, right? The results are pleasing, like a Norse viking Beach Boys cursing to Valhalla, with blood on their faces and severed heads in the trunk. (S)

11. Disco Spatial Quebec 1976- 1984
The excellent blog Psyquebelique posted an amazing self-curated compilation this week of French Canadian space disco from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. Space Disco is thought to mostly be the work if Italians, but as this comp proves, Canada pumped out more than its share of the stuff. In fact, according to the blog, Montreal was the second biggest disco production hotspot in the world, after NYC. Who knew? Anyway, strap on your jet pack and get down to these far out sounds! (K)

10. 10CC
I'm digging deeper into these avant 70's pop-o-dytes. Pretty goddamn groovy if you ask me. Thanks to Seth the cyclopian drummer from the west coast Swilson band for hipping me to this awesome tune and getting me to listen to all the records of theirs I've been stockpiling, and baby I'm amazed. (S)

9. Cleveland's Screaming
I love documentaries about obscure music scenes. This one covers Cleveland's hardcore punk scene from 1981 to 1983. Featured bands include non-household names like Starvation Army, Urban Mutants, and Zero Defects. Who? Excactly. Awesome stuff with lots of heart amidst all the screaming and smashing of things. (K)

8. Last Summer
You owe yourself a nice bummer in the summer in the middle of winter. Don't ya? Last Summer is it. Sporting itself as a coming of age film staring the now obscure Catharine Burns, who scored an academy award nomination, Bruce Davison, Barbara Hershey, and Richard "John Boy" Thomas, but ends in a way that a precious few of us has ever "came of age" by becoming out right criminals. This is a really well made movie unlike almost anything else I've ever seen and will give you the creeps. The soundtrack is really cool, with members of the Modern Folk Quartet and The Band. (S)

7. 42nd Street Grindhouse Footage
I've never seen no-budget 70's softcore roughie The Rogue, and I'm not sure it's necessary to see it. But this short comp of scenes is notable for the killer shots of the long-gone grindhouses on 42nd Street. Sure, the streets are safer now, but seriously, don't use miss the grime? (K)

6. Love - Reel to Real
It's 1975 and Arthur Lee was pretty much a solo act at this point, running almost exclusively on the fumes of his late 60's legendary genius status. Having blown almost every post Forever Changes opportunity due to drug use and erratic behavior, he's given his last and best shot at the big leagues by RSO, who front Arthur 100 grand to make this awesome record. It's funky, it's soul, it's freaky as hell, and has almost nothing to do with Forever Changes. It's really a lost soul classic. Pun intended. Lee would get a tour opening for Eric Clapton and Lou Reed but he would blow that with bad behavior and flippant remarks about RSO head Robert Stigwood. Some people are their own worse enemies I guess, but give this one a chance it's really good. PS: I never heard this song before I wrote White Witch Black Witch. (S)

5. Roky Erickson and the Black Angels – Night of the Vampire
Holy fuck! Professionally shot full-show of Roky doing his thing in '08! Yeah! (K)

4. BBJr - How to Fuck All Your Co-workers in One Sitting
Captcha Records is on the forefront of beautiful weirdness. Here is a good one if your in the market for a noisy free for all, that has the hallmarks of the 2010's overground: free jazz, digital hiss, lo-fidelity, minimalist blues, free folk and punk rock presentation. The kid is from the mid west, I don't know what he's got angst his co workers and it's too soon to tell if he's fucked them, but he may have made an enduring record in the process. (S)

How to Fuck All Your Co-workers in One Sitting by BBJr

3. Edgar Froese – Sobornost
Tangerine Dreamer in his backyard, wailing on his scary synths for a German TV show. How can you be so nerdy and so cool at that same time? (K)

2. Buffalo Tooth
Are they a combination of the Australian rape rock of Buffalo and the bummer blues of Spooky Tooth? Maybe? Hailing a from the fuzz pedal flats of San Francisco,this pure stone groove. Reminds of something but what is it? Oh wait I remember now….drugs. (S)

Buffalo Tooth by Buffalo Tooth

1. Circuit Rider
Completely fucked-up, blown-out biker psych nightmare from Connecticut circa 1980. There's a certain group of folks who think this album is proof that Jim Morrison faked his own death. What it really proves is that Connecticut was full of dangerous acid-heads in 1980. (K)

Worrisome Wednesday Jam

Advanceddemonology@gmail.com (Ken McIntyre, Stephen Wilson) — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 18:46:00 +0000

12. Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert
I was talking to an older head the other day about Jazz records and he mentioned Keith Jarrett.I always thought Keith was cool because he plays on some of my favorite Miles Davis Records. But I never heard the Koln Concert before. "Oh man, I got laid so many times back in the 70's because of that record. It hypnotizes chicks". Well, needless to say I had to run out and buy it. (S)

11. Earthen Grave – Blood Drunk
Bass player for Chicago doom legends Trouble formed this chugging, grungy doom n’ roll outfit with a violin player(!). Their debut is a killer, but this song is a standout. A tale of misery and murder, Blood Drunk’s tone is so dismal and hopeless that you’ll need to gulp down a fistful of happy pills when it’s over. Nice to know Chicago’s still gloomy after all these years. (K)

10. Neil Merryweather - Space Rangers
This is sorta like a re-post because Ken and I constantly yap about how much we love Neil and we play him on our show all the time. I just scored a copy of his 1974 "master peace" Space Rangers on vinyl! You should too! (S)

9. Blue Beat in My Soul Blog
If you’re in the mood for some funky stuff, the always excellent 60’s/70’s album-share blog Blue Beat for My Soul has been posting some impossibly funky soundtracks to 70’s violent cop/giallo flicks and they are amazing. Pop one on, throw on your favorite polyester turtleneck, and go chase down some hoods in your 68 Chevy! (K)

8. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Old Grey WhistleTest
I know many of you Advanced Demonologists aren't into these guys, but I am. They are an incredible mix of lot's of things I love like country music, Cream inspired heavy rock, hippiedom and total redneck swagger. These beatniks grew up in northern Florida and trust me they are the most avant, progressive thing to come out of that neck of the woods ever. If you had long hair in the 60's where they lived, you better be able to use your fists. This is them in their prime, and speaking of swagger, you'll see what I'm talkin' about. (S)

7. Turnaround
A short but fun doc about why everybody wants to listen to vinyl records again. Spoiler alert: because they’re fucking awesome. (K)

6. Fraction - Moon Blood
I have no fucking clue. Somebody described this Lp as the album the Doors wished they made. Well I doubt that highly, but it's definitely the album Swilson wished he made. The cry of "Sky High" seems genuine, immediate, maybe even urgent. Somebody call the paramedics! I think the lead singer most likely cut his vocal track pinned to ceiling of the studio on a neon crucifix. Just a guess. (S)

5. John Campbell
My favorite bluesman was a one-eyed, motorcycle riding Frankenstein who died at age 41. John Campbell was a blues guitarist from Louisiana who began playing professionally at age 13. He was a fast-living dude who got into a horrific car wreck while drag racing as a teenager. The accident took his right eye and left him horribly disfigured. He face had to be reconstructed. Took 5,000 stitches to put it back together. Still, he carried on. In 1991, he put out the incredible One Believer album, perhaps the darkest authentic blues record ever made. He also got married that year. The president of the local Hell’s Angels club was his best man. Dr. John performed the service. More demons were unleashed on his follow-up album, 1993’s Howling Mercy. Campbell died of a heart attack a few months later. Nobody knew the blues like this dude did. Check out his albums sometime; you can actually smell the fires of hell when he plays. (K)

4. Bulldozer - The Final Speration
The follow up to the mighty Days Of Wrath. An Italian celebration of all things Venom. Great record cover! Very Italian! And some great advice to boot…..never relax. (S)

3. The Devil
Mysterious UK metal band that wear masks and hoods and tie every conspiracy theory you can think of into one giant ball of fear and paranoia. Are they a nefarious cult? Evil pranksters? Is it actually Satan himself freaking out the squares? Only the dudes (?) under the red robes know for sure. (K)

2. Hot Tracks
Long-running public access show featuring two dudes talking about music. Sorta. This is amazing middle-American endtimes couch of woe stuff, awful-but-awesome and hard to look away from. A documentary (!) is in the works!(K)

1. Swilson - Cool Skull - Official Video
Here is the official video for the song you can't stop rocking. (S)
