A Few of His Things

Host: Bradx

This episode of Get Drunk and Play Records could also be dubbed A Few of His Things #1 as it features bands and projects that Brad’s played on over the past eleven years. Click the link to download and read on…

the tantrums – see you later
this fine slab o’ blue wax came out all the way back in 1995 on rev. norb’s bulge label (he was in a band with 2 of the members back in the ’80s). it was also repressed on black vinyl. i played drums for this band and it was the first time i was ever in a real recording studio.

last sons of krypton – atom bomb, meteor(ite)
oh yeah! writing the music to these songs, producing the recordings, and designing this record was definately where i blew my creative wad at the tender age of 17. the year was 1996 and it was all downhill from there, though the music remained consistent… clear vinyl, also reissued on black.

last sons of krypton – i want action, kristina kay is gonna get raped
pink vinyl, 1996. what can i say? i was so disgusted with the sound of this record that i never set foot in a studio again and produced every record i have played on since then myself. this record also came out on the bulge label. look for unreleased songs from this session on the upcoming trickknee records lp.

last sons of krypton – teenage trash, jack the ripper
by the time we recorded this gem in 1997 lead vocalist rj had moved with his parents to florida. we wrote and recorded the songs for this record in one afternoon. at that time i was listening to a lot of billy childish and the oblivians, and this is the only recording i would say i made intentionally lo-fi. we even had an old iron “noise microphone” in the middle of the room. everything was recorded live. you can hear roy’s bass cut out whenever rj sings cuz they were both plugged into the same radio shack 35-watt PA ran through old ’70s home stereo speakers. little known fact… “black girl” from the kris k record also plays rhythm guitar on this single. 1000 copies, black vinyl.

last sons of krypton – teenage zombie, i’m your trashman
“teenage zombie” is me and rj recorded onto reel to reel back in 1996. “i’m your trashman” is also just me and rj and was recorded and released by kryptonite in 1998. 1000 black copies.

the smuts – teenage fuck-up
sack o’ shit put out this gem in 2000. there is a photo of my ex on the cover but she didn’t play on it, she played on the next record but didn’t get any credit on that one so i guess it all balances out. this song is just me and rj.

the smuts – punk rock girl, i’m bored
this was a split with the evolutions. we recorded this in florida during one of my frequent trips there (one to be covered in the next pswehateyou.com update!). at this point it seemed like all i was gonna do is be drummer and producer.

the smuts – she got me hot, suicide, hang up
steve smut shat out this turd on his certified pr record label (pr=puerto rican). i recorded this using a broken set of headphones as mics. a diaphragm is a diaphragm, right? i sing vocals and play lead guitar on the wailers cover, the rest of the time i’m chained to the drums.

mc monkey and ape with attitude – human zoo pt. 2
i don’t know what the hell roy was thinking when he released this, and i don’t understand why anyone would like it or give it a good review. it’s easily my least favorite record i’ve played on, but it is the only one i play cowbell and a real ’60s hammond drawbar organ on. also, the video is great.

the evolutions – the wire song
this was the first vinyl release by our revamped evolutions lineup of myself, jamie king and boner. we also played a bunch of songs on the no fuckin’ chance lp of the evolutions that just came out last week.

small hole adapters – pill popper pt. 1 and 2
this is me on drums/vocals for pt. 2 and steve smut on vocals/guitar. limited to 75 copies, lathe-cut 8″ clear square record.

suave motherfuckers – free money, no electric blues
FINALLY!!! a band i sing and play lead guitar, write the songs. “no electric blues” was written after i blew a fuse trying to cook in the tiny 8′x8′ room my future wife and i shared above a bar for almost a year back when we were first together. amber plays drums on this and in my current band, the porch honkees. these songs were also on the square record.

trash stranglers – hillside strangler
this track, song #2 on the killed by trash lp on p.trash, features vince from the fatals on lead guitar and backing vocals, i play everything else.

dirty needles – justine is a junkie
this song is also on the evolutions lp. it came out right before the chicago blackout in may and has sold out 2 repressings since then. this is just me and roy playing everything, could have been called mc monkey too…

Host: Duke Eastwood

Here are Duke Eastwood’s listening tips for this podcast:

1. Pretend you’re at a swimming pool with this show playing through the pool’s speakers.
2. Imagine you go up to the prettiest girl there and ask her, “If I kiss
   you, will you scream?”
3. Taste of the Taste, Taste First Place!

Host: Blair B.

This series was conceived when my girlfriend and I were sitting around one afternoon. She had a ton of recordings by her old band that she’d just put up on MySpace. (You can download them individually – and read about them – at Jahna’s MySpace blog.) The thing about her old bands was that – excepting those who were there at the time – nobody had really ever heard them, since they never put anything out. Yeah, despite the fact that Jahna’s been playing in bands since the late ’80s – when she had a band with Gary Balaban (aka Tony Scopitone, Gary Teenager, etc.), Holly Ramos (later of Fur) and Jesse Malin called The Wolverteens – her first record was actually The Demands’ Play For You (Deep Eddy, 2005). Weird how that kinda crap can happen.

Well… It occurred to me this could make for an interesting podcast, one that could – in fact – lead to future episodes. The idea for this one would be to pull together recordings by as many bands that Jahna has been in as possible. In the future, therefore, I – or anyone else out there – could do episodes on other musicians who’ve been in various bands over the years, grabbing assorted tracks from their timelines. Of course, that could make it “A Few of *His* Things* or, if I wanted to go on a sort of family tree route, “A Few of *Their* Things.” Jahna’s already suggested an episode each for Tom Ward, Ron Silva, Mick Collins, and Russell Quan. Or The Spaceshits Family Tree. OK, back to business…

This particular episode, however, will feature the lovely and talented Ms. Jahna Rain, currently of The Demands and The Coal Gems. She’s also presently at work on another band w/Dave and Joe from The Innuendos. (So far, they’ve recorded a few rehearsals as part of the process of putting together a set.)

It should also be noted that Jahna did some time as bassist for The High School Sweethearts, although she never recorded with them. In addition, she had a (very) short-lived band called The Whirls (where she played guitar, Julia from the Demands was on bass, and Cynthia from the High School Sweethearts sang, and Jim Hass played drums.) Jahna’s also considering a new country band w/Julia called The Lightning Bugs.

One thing should be pointed out: Many of these tracks are unmastered, as they were meant to be demos. In the case of The Coal Gems, the songs were recorded in one take at the end of rehearsal on a night when the whole band was in some stage of the flu.

Having said all that, I hope you’ll enjoy this collection as much as I have.
