This Is Why I'm Fat...

So, I've come to realize that due to mai eating habits and weird cravings eating stuff like this is why I'm fat.
Not mai metabolism or lack of excercise, but eating a World's Finest milk chocolate crisped rice candy bar covered in Mild, Taco Bell sauce.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Good Time Fanny" by Angel from the "Boobs" compilation.

Today's Time Capsule, Hector...

So, I have no info on this band except their name is Hector, and they were on this compilation called Boobs. According to the liner notes of the CD this song is from 1973, and it's a party record. I guess the name of the album is in reference to glam rock club, from the mid-70's, of the saem name, Boobs.

Finding any info on this band is a real stress maker, seeing as the only info I have are the names "Hector", "Boobs", and "Wired Up" to go by.

The only real info I could find was that they named themselves after a cartoon character that the Bassist had drawn. They were a glam rock band from Portsmouth, UK and they only released two singles "Wired Up" 1973 and "Bye Bye Bad Days" 1974 on the DJM label.

It turns out they were also known for using a giant catapult to fire Smarties at their audience.
I love the fuzz on the guitars, not to mention the solos throughout the song.


As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Banned From The Pubs" by Peter & The Test Tube Babies from the album "Punk & Disorderly (Disc 1)" released in 1981 on Abstract Sounds records.

23 Minutes To Kill...

So, I came across this video over at the Geekologie web facility, and let me just say that they have some funny ish posted there. Like the Human Ingredients t-shirt, you know you want it.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Far Side of the Sun" by Manilla Road from the album "Invasion" from 1980. The beginning of this song reminds me of the beginning of "Stonehenge" in the 1984 movie This Is Spinal Tap.

Today's Time Capsule...

So, Some of you might recognize this song by the Skyhooks from when Iron Maiden played it with Paul Dianno in 1980. This song however, is from 1978 when Glam was in full swing. A lot of what you are given to see when it comes to Glam Rock is cheesy Gary Glitter, Bay City Rollers or [the] Sweet marching in place with some sort of metallic leggings and broad futuristic shoulders, but in reality some of these bands, like Skyhooks, were under the radar and the unsung heroes of rock influencing anyone from Saxon, Iron Maiden, Culture Club, Joy Division, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Morrissey, Spacehog, Nirvana and even Oasis.
Mötley Crüe took Glam to Hollywood Boulevard and added more evil flair to the happy image and even more hairspray, covering Brownsville Station's 1973 hit "Smoking In The Boys Room" on their 1985 album "Theatre Of Pain".
Quiet Riot covered the song "Cum On Feel The Noize" in 1983 which was huge when I was in 4th grade and done originally by Glam greats Slade.

Later, I have to go eat something, prolly some pasta before my sauce goes rancid in the fridge.

As of the end of this post I am Currently listening to "Agitate" by Noise Unit from the "Another World: Electronic Body Music" compilation. 1990 Noise Unit is a Side project of Bill Leeb from Front Line Assembly.
