Virus Concerns / New Links
After some digging around, I found that I do indeed have an infection. When I create a RAR file, I end up with a Screen Saver file, of the same name, in another folder. While I'm taking care of this nuisance, I went ahead and re-upped the FUNKADELIC, MINUTEFLAG and BOB SEGER albums in ZIP format. Please let me know if there are any problems.
Cheers!

BOB SEGER - BACK IN '72 (1973)
Again, not typical G.O.M.E. fare, but a long-forgotten hard rock gem. Despite interest from fans over the course of 35 years, Back in '72 has never been issued on CD. There's a lot here to appreciate, and not just the original studio version of "Turn the Page". Bob's take on the ALLMANS' great "Midnight Rider" is more Motown boogie and southern blues, while "Rosalie" was covered by Thin Lizzy just two years later. The title track features some excellent riffing from none other than J.J. Cale, while "Neon Sky" makes you want to track Bob down in Detroit and get him on your own songs. All in all, this is a great rock record that has somehow evaded the CD generation. And if I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: IF IT'S TOO OLD, YOU'RE TOO LOUD!

MINUTEFLAG - MINUTEFLAG [EP] (1986)
This admittedly isn't standard G.O.M.E. fare, but those of you who know me are well aware of my love of the '80s indie scene, the music of BLACK FLAG and the MINUTEMEN in particular. This collaboration between the SST heavyweights took place in 1985, while the MINUTEMEN had recently finished their Project Mersh EP, and BLACK FLAG was recording Loose Nut. The bands agreed that the MINUTEFLAG sessions wouldn't be released until one of the bands split. Within months, the legendary D. Boon was killed in a car accident, effectively putting an end to the mighty MINUTEMEN. To date, SST hasn't issued this small piece of rock history on CD.

FUNKADELIC - FREE YOUR MIND...AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW (1970)
There really aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to do this album justice. Free Your Mind... is an absolute masterpiece, and its influence spans PRINCE to CLUTCH and all points in between. My sole complaint was always that the production on this album is downright dismal. Fear not, though, as this set has been tweaked and adjusted by yours truly for your listening pleasure. From the 10-minute acid freakout title track, through the classic "Friday Night, August 14th" and Eddie Hazel's amazing leadwork on "I Wanna Know if It's Good to You?", Funkadelic's Free Your Mind...and Your Ass Will Follow is absolutely essential to any rock fan's collection.

Hey hey, GOMIES, greetings from the 13th Floor! I've been gone for quite awhile, and hopefully you've all been well during my absence. I also hope you're still checking G.O.M.E., because Matias has posted some great stuff during my sabbatical.
I'll be posting some killer records over the next few days, and ELEVATED RADIO will be once again destroying entire civilizations before the end of the year.
I just wanted to drop a quick line and let you guys know to stay tuned, for you are about the witness the awesome power of a fully-operational mothership.

DOZER- BEYOND COLOSSAL (2008)
Surfing the Financial Crisis, the well-known European Stoner/Metal heros, Dozer came up with a new album, very similar to the last one, with remarkably singing work and good song structure.
Not their best, but a nice effort though....and since this year we didn't have a nice release, ths one could be among Top 10's 2008 Stoner Rock albums..I'll have to think about the other 9.

The "Mysterious" Track on Songs for the deaf
All right, let's begin with the story behind this track..... back in time in 2002, when this was released in the US, but not yet released in Argentina by Sony, I guess they printed a month later than the official world release date in Argentina, so it was nearly impossible to get this imported and too fucking expensive, so we had to wait to the local print, (which always sounds in lower quality than the American editions) but speaking of QOTSA's, they always add a bonus track, in this case The Kinks cover "Everybody is gonna be happy", so far so good. The thing goes like this... since I couldn't wait for the local edition, and even less pay for an import album, bear in mind that in those days Internet wasn't what it is today, imagine that in
Well, for my surprise I found a copy of this record in a "street records store" AKA a person who sells home-burned CDs and movies in the street...really unusual for this type of music, anyway the more surprising thing was that it was even before the world release..
Eventually, a month later I get an official copy, but there were some differences, in sound and about this track that wasn't listed... some days ago I went to a friends house who had a pirated copy bought on the street like a year ago in a very different place where it bought it....and guess what, it has this song right between tracks 9 & 10, so thinking, I'm pretty sure that most of the pirate copies distributed in Argentina came from a Master tape who slipped in hands of someone who made a copy for this pirates to distribute, believe me, this kind of business is conducted like a mafia, so if I guess right, that song was on the master tape sent by Interscope to Argentinean editors and went to someone that made circulate a copy even before the printings.
Speaking about the song, I'm pretty sure that is Mark Lenegan voice, and absolutely sure that is a Dave Groll's drumming....I never found this song in any compilation of B sides or whatsoever, did some research on Lenegan's stuff, but i found nothing till now...
Have you ever heard this song before?

Truth be told, guys, I have a friend who's been going through some hard times, so I've been spending as much time with her as possible. I've been on the road a great deal, and that's made it impossible to contribute regularly to G.O.M.E., let alone stay on track with ELEVATED RADIO.

TROUBLE - ONE FOR THE ROAD [EP] (1994)
Rick Rubin gets a lot of credit for his work with Johnny Cash, Glenn Danzig and countless others, though he's rarely mentioned as the lummox that dropped the ball with FLIPPER, UNIDA and, of course, the legendary TROUBLE. One for the Road was a post-American Recordings EP sold on tour in Europe. I probably wouldn't call this particular release essential, but if you're like me, you want all the TROUBLE you can get your hands on. It's kinda cool hearing earlier (and rougher) versions of "Another Day" and the classic "Requiem". G.O.M.E.'s all-time most downloaded album is TROUBLE's Manic Frustration, so I know the band is well-liked on the 13th floor. With that it mind, I recommend it.

ELEVATED RADIO #014
I'm back, fuckers! Thanks for sticking around. I don't have a whole lot to say that I didn't mention on the show, but I do apologize for the lengthy high-atus (© The Good Captain). I've had a lot going on, guys. Hell, you all know how it is, the GOMIES are the sharpest bunch of bad motherfuckers in the world! Sometimes, life gets in the way of rockin' and takin' it to the people. It SHOULDN'T, but it does. So I'm not gonna make any more promises I can't keep. My sole vow to you, the G.O.M.E. Faithful, is that I will try my absolute DAMNEDEST to have a new show for you every week.
I think this week's show is pretty solid, though you already know if I didn't like it, I wouldn't play it. I think back to Cheeto saying he burned each show for his feline friends. He can't be the only cat doing that, so this week's installment is all about positive energy. It's getting warmer outside, at least in my neck of the woods, so this is rock & roll to light a grill to. Drink some beers or corn whiskey. Roll up your secret "special occasions" stash. Plug in and come up with some rockin' shit for The Elevator Sessions. And make sure you let Matias know how much you appreciate his hard work. If it wasn't for him, G.O.M.E. would've faded away long ago. He's kept us alive and thriving and kicking ass with steel-toed Argentinean boots!
Thanks are in order for all the GOMIES still checking us out, especially The Brotherhood listed at the right of this page. Thanks in particular to Cheeto and X-Angel for "supplying new ragers" (© Kill 'Em All).
This the return of both Elevated Radio, and a fully functional G.O.M.E. Let me know what you want to hear.
Thanks again, and cheers!

BRANT BJORK - SABBIA (2006)
Take it or leave it, but I've noticed that pretty much everyone to stumble across our cozy little corny of the blogosphere tends to worship at the altar of Brother Brant. This soundtrack is certainly cool for what it is, but ultimately, you need the entire visual experience of the film to truly appreciate it. There are definitely some highlights here, but a great deal of Sabbia's music is simple demos and outtakes in less-than-crisp quality. That doesn't mean the tracks aren't interesting - I'm just not gonna sit here and say the music by itself is essential Brant Bjork. It's cool to groove to, but for the full experience, head on over to Amazon and order the DVD. Kate McCabe did a fantastic job giving Brother Brant's music visual accompaniment.

ROACHPOWDER - VIEJO DIABLO (1998)
This one comes to you, the G.O.M.E. Faithful, by way of our main man The Good Captain, of Sonic Daydream and Inner-Head Flight Royale fame - and what a killer contribution it is! How did I miss out on these guys? This is one incredible slab of rock, Gomies. Like I told the Cap'n, this record reminds me of both early MONSTER MAGNET and PANTERA's more groove-based music. I don't want to gush too much, and maybe it's just that I needed to discover something new after a tumultuous couple of weeks, but I find this to be a damn near flawless rock record. Over the course of Viejo Diablo, you'll hear traces of the aforementioned MONSTER MAGNET and PANTERA, as well as KYUSS, HAWKWIND, SABBATH, and even the STONES and STOOGES! Brilliant rock, excellent guitar work, heavy on the smack and trippies, tailor-suited for G.O.M.E., compliments of The Good Cap'n. Dig it.

FIREBALL MINISTRY - FMEP (2001) ***RE-UP BY REQUEST***
This re-up is for Alice in Wonderland (sorry for the delay!). For the uninitiated, FIREBALL MINISTRY kicks ass, and they're more than likely much better than your favorite band. This EP in particular is very cool, as it features Rev. Rota & Co.'s unique twist on some tunes by ALICE COOPER, JUDAS PRIEST, MISFITS, AEROSMITH, and BLUE CHEER. I particularly dig the AEROSMITH cover ("Movin' Out"), but the whole EP is great. Especially if you don't own Second Great Awakening for the original tracks. "Maidens of Venus" is among the band's absolute finest work.

Cheeto and the Sludge Swamp staff recently upped this one, but in case you missed it, here it is again. The mighty ACID KING absolutely KILLS this set on our brand of rock's grandest stage, the 2007 Roadburn Festival. Lori's never sounded better vocally, and her guitar is just punishing.

TRAILER HITCH - THE LONG TAIL TALES AND HIGHWAY ADVENTURES OF..(1996)
1994 was the year,Trailer Hitch was the group,this band of five individuals ruined so many tour vehicles,stages,borrowed instruments and dressing rooms that I can't mention the individuals by name.These were nice men during the day,then something changed when the smell of the bar hit their collective olfactory sences and it was time to start thinking about the mission ahead of them.They became some sort of single brained machine capable of anything and consuming everything.There are hundreds of incredible stories from shows of raw meat,explosives,blood and a shit load of cold beer smashed together with Marshalls to eleven,bombastic drumming,while being spearheaded by a screaming sinewy six foot three ex-demolitions specialist who enjoyed hurting himself while in the nude with combat boots on.The mix of personalities in this band was cumbustable at best and the band longevity was short(6 years)but blindingly bright(due to a visit to a indiana fireworks outlet).This was a band who was cursed from the jump,Studio sessions wrecked by inept engineers,Instruments stolen,kicked out and banned from clubs ..sometimes halfway thru the set,vehicles broken into and members nearly murdered,Trailer Hitch somehow released two CD's but recorded four..they should of been huge but they were their own worst enemies....thats why we loved em so god damn much,cuz they were Beautiful fuckin Disasters...

FOILED AGAIN! ***ELEVATED RADIO POSTPONED***
For the 150 of you checking in today for Elevated Radio, and especially the five or six of you that intend to leave comments about the show, I regret to note that there will be no Elevated Radio until tomorrow at the earliest. Your humble host injured himself this morning, during domestic duties, leaving a hole in his right hand in which a goldfish could live a long and happy life. The medication for said injury, especially coupled with the usual Big Jack booze intake, might sound like the makings of a great show. Unfortunately, I'm just not up to it. I'll try tomorrow, and if it doesn't happen, maybe one of you guys will put together a good show in my absence.

FAITH NO MORE - LIVE IN LIBOURNE (1990)
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times - As go Big Jack's moods, so goes G.O.M.E. A lot of you already know that Mike Patton is one of my all-time favorite vocalists, and that FAITH NO MORE is one of my all-time favorite bands. Those of you involved with The Elevator Sessions know that my all-time favorite song, "Zombie Eaters", happens to be a FAITH NO MORE tune (I warn you in advance, you'll not find the definitive version here). That said, here's a FNM set from 1990, recorded live (soundboard) in Libourne, France. I think fans will find a lot to enjoy here, even if Mike Patton was still learning how to use his voice in live performance, as opposed to the studio. He tanks numerous times, and the band itself butchers my all-time favorite song (but they wrote it, so I guess I can let 'em slide). Still, there's a lot to like. Billy Gould's bass never sounded tighter, and how many groups have you heard cover a Nestle's commercial (check the intro to "Surprise! You're Dead!")? This set is the sound of a band still cutting its proverbial teeth, figuring out what works and what doesn't, while keeping their sets interesting and entertaining. In my opinion, FAITH NO MORE hit their stride with Angel Dust, and became an excellent live band, as well as in the studio. This boot focuses on The Real Thing, and the set is very much like the record: uneven, schizophrenic, a little sloppy...but ultimately enjoyable.
