Don't know about the other 9, but this one's number 2 fer sure.

You must have been buying records by the box. I've gotten some pretty good records that way, but there are always a few interesting ones in the mix.

Dumpster Dives

This is a record I got from a woman who said her husband was a big audiophile. She was getting rid of all her vinyl, so I gladly accepted the whole lot.

Kinda says a lot, doesn't it?

Here's another album from the same collection:

So I guess Deadly Earnest lived with Feminine Fireworks. They were both in the same box. And here was another one, sort of like what happens when you combine the two:

All jokes aside, the lady and her entire family are the nicest people you could ever want to know. I mean they are genuinely sweet souls. But I couldn't help but laugh at those album covers, and to think about the memories that must have been shared by my freinds that gave me these records. I mean, what a combination, like James Carville and Mary Matalin!

Over at AA Vinyl Forum they asked: "What's Your Favorite
album title?"

I submitted the title on a compilation called

Ear Piercing Punk

But I don't know why you're using the stick on polkas.

One of the best acts I ever heard is Carl Finch's Brave Combo
from Denton (Home of Happiness) TX.

Brave Combo has quite few releases and they are performing
yet.

A good place to start with Brave Combo to get the flavor
of what they do is the "People Are Strange" polka with no
apologies whatsoever to Jim Morrison and the Doors.

Some consider this novelty music or satire. I consider
it the ability to arrange and play material in new ways to
make the listener hear in new ways.

But up here in Wisconsin, even here, the polka sometimes
takes a bad rap unless it is in an ethnic festival.

We'll talk about Richard Frank the "Punk Accordianist
who knows a million tunes" playing "I Was So Wasted" by Black Flag
at wedding receptions another day. :-)
