Jean Michel Jarre: Live In Monaco Full Concert...

Today's Time Capsule: The Wipers: This Time...

So, here's a piece of PDX punk history, none other than mai favorite songwriter, Greg Sage.

I first saw the name of this band on the mail order card of soem band on the Enigma record label, Agent Orange, Adrenalin O.D.?

I forget... but it wasn't until I went on one of mai many trips to Reckless Records, in the waxing years of the 90s, that I saw the cassette tape for their album "The Circle," which was released in 1988, that I first heard them. I listened to that tape over and over and over. Until I eventually found their 1987 album "Follow Blind."

Then, a few years later after Kurt Cobain was murdered, MTV was playing all these interviews where he was citing influences, and he mentions Greg Sage & The Wipers, I was all like "hell yeah, no way" that's so cool.

It was then that I started looking for moar releases by this guy/band, having no luck for many years. ll the record shops had the section for them, but never any releases.

So I had to rely on mai two cassette tapes to pull me through until 2003 when I found Zeno Records.

For ten years I only had these two tapes, and most of those ten years those two tapes (or at least one) never left my car.

It was in 2003 that I had seen that Greg was releasing this 3xCD compilation of the first 3 Wipers albums w/many bonus tracks, outtakes, and mixes simply titled "Box Set."

This track is from that release.

Today's Time Capsule, Neil Young...

So, I know soem of you reading this are fans of Neil Young, but did you know that this song if from one of the 3 albums he made in the 80's when he signed to Geffen records?
True story, he signed to Geffen, made these 3 albums and they were pissed off with this even though he fulfilled his end of the bargain and gave them 3 albums, they dropped him for "not sounding like Neil Young" and deliberately making records "unrepresentative" of his name.
Sounds like soem BS if you ask me.

He made Trans (1982) an 80's electro-induced vocoder-laden ode to Kraftwerk, Everybody's Rockin' (1983) a Rockabilly record, and one called Old Ways (1985) a Country record.


As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Stereomatic (Stereomagic)" by Yamo from the album "Time Pie" released in 1997

So, mai previous post is about an eBay auction that I have going on [ENDED] for a Vintage Roland TR-808 drum machine. People keep asking for moar pics that the Nine (9) I have posted already. I decided to help everyone out and just post them all here.

I tried to fulfill their needs while trying to keep that artsy feel so the pics are still worthy of being looked at even after the auction closes. Enjoy these 39 pics of an historical and pivotal piece of musical machinery.  

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to (well this is Ironic and quite fitting) "Orbit" by 808 State from the album "Gorgeous" released in 1992.
