Today is the 16th anniversary of the death of Timmy Taylor. This is the first song I heard by them and was instantly hooked. Definitely a band you love or hate. If you haven’t heard them check them out, there are bands that still attempt this sound but are nowhere near the greatness of Brainiac.
Song of the Day: Queensryche “NM 156”
Yes, I like Queensryche. Well to a point. Anyway this was really interesting to my ears in 1984. From the album “The Warning” this combination of mechanical, electronic elements and metal was great. A nice change of pace on a pretty traditional (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) metal album.
My thought was cool you could cross Gary Numan and Metal. Well that was wrong as I find most industrial metal tedious.
Song of the Day: Salvation Army “Happen Happened”
You may know them as the Three O’Clock they were originally named The Salvation Army. The “real” Salvation Army had a shit fit so they renamed themselves the Three O’Clock.
Frontier rereleased this album as Before Three O’Clock.
Another tease of the new Queens of the Stone Age
Almost 2 minutes of Kalopsia. So far it seems that it will easily be the best thing since Songs for the Deaf.
Here are the two other songs.
I Appear Missing
My God Is The Sun
Song of the Day: Hot Nun “Who Do You Think You Are”
I know they are from San Francisco. I know they play 70’s power pop infused with hard rock and punk. That’s it.
A catchy high speed slice of rock.
