SUM 41 - ALL KILLER NO FILLER

It would be a mistake to view Sum 41 as just another second-rate band cashing in on the early-'00s punk-pop boom, even if it did recruit Jerry Finn to produce All Killer No Filler. Just as Finn had done for both blink-182 and Green Day, he charges Sum 41's punk-pop with a razor-sharp edge, the sort of dynamic in-your-face sound that helps this music cross over to MTV and radio so well. Besides the notable production, a lot of credit should go to the band as well. Its songwriting is obviously more diverse here than it was a year earlier on its debut album, Half Hour of Power; for example, the group's rap and '80s metal influences rise to the surface more frequently here than on that first album and instill a fun sense of camp. ''Fatlip'' is perhaps the best example of how Sum 41 has made an effort to diversify the music with more than just power chords and melodic punk vocals.

Reissue LP by the label Asbestos. Single LP Limited Edition on Neon Pink colored vinyl. Only 400 copies.

ZIGGY MARLEY - WILD AND FREE

Ziggy Marley returns to more adult-oriented fare with Wild and Free, a pro-cannabis album that’s suitably laid-back, militant, and organic. Helping with the organic is producer Don Was, who surrounds Ziggy with warm tones and good vibes and nothing feeling showy or cold. This enhances the freely developing numbers like “Roads Less Traveled” (a slowly chugging track that sounds inspired by Dad’s classic Wailers’ cut “Exodus”) and “A Sign” (one of those light, bright songs that reminds you Ziggy’s Melody Makers often shared the same new hippie spirit as hip-hop’s Arrested Development). Freedom and marijuana fuel the album as pro-pot advocate Woody Harrelson offers narration on the excellent title track, while “Changes” lead to a “Personal Revolution” and on to enlightenment. A big swerve comes at the end with the eulogy for a prostitute called “Elizabeth,” but there’s little doubt that it’s a songwriting high point for Ziggy, tugging at the heartstrings with a minimal amount of words. Stoned to the bone with Was at the controls means this is one of the more humble and cool offerings in the Ziggy Marley catalog, but those are the same reasons it’s an album to return to, delivering that satisfying Rastaman vibration whenever listeners crave a mellow mood.

ERYKAH BADU - MAMA'S GUN

Mama's Gun is the second studio album by Neo Soul singer Erykah Badu, released in 2000. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, the album incorporates Funk, Soul and Jazz styles. Covering themes of insecurity, social issues and personal relationships, Badu delivered a highly intimate and personal album that reached Platinum two months after its release. Mama's Gun features substantial contributions from several members of the Soulquarians outfit, of which Badu was a member. It also features guests such as soul singer Betty Wright and trumpeter Roy Hargrove.

The album contains the single "Bag Lady" which, with its colorful, artsy music video, shot to #1 on the R&B charts, and also into the Top 10 on the billboard charts. "Bag Lady" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and for Best R&B Song. Also the song "Didn't Cha Know?" was nominated for Best R&B Song.

Rolling Stone magazine applauded her for taking "chances the way Stevie Wonder or Nina Simone did in their prime" and went on to say "she has taken her art to the next level." Entertainment Weekly called the album a "'70s soul homage featuring live musicians and a smooth-funk sound that wouldn't be out of place on a CTI record."

GRAM PARSONS - EARLY YEARS VOL. 1 & 2

The Early Years Volume 1 & 2 brings together Gram Parsons' (International Submarine Band, The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers) earliest recordings in one convenient and beautiful document on 180 gram audiophile vinyl. It may be a good bit different than the music that made Parsons a legend, but these rough tapes show the talent was always there and was capable of expressing itself in a variety of ways.

The first ten songs were taken from a demo Parsons recorded in 1965 at a radio station with the Shilos, a Kingston Trio-type folk group he sang with for a few years. Originals like "Big Country" and "Zah's Blues" show he was already making his mark as a songwriter. Next are eight living-room recordings from late 1965 of Parsons performing solo with his guitar in a friend's apartment in New York City. The performances are thoughtful and full of soul, and the songs show Parsons was strongly developing his creative talent. The set also includes a pair of tunes Parsons cut with The Like, his short-lived rock band. The vinyl set closes with a few tunes Parsons recorded with Brandon de Wilde. Their recordings of "Do Right Woman" and "Together Again" are the first glimpses of the style that would become Parsons' quality mark.

A must-have document of Parsons' first musical efforts!

MOODY BLUES - ON THE THRESHOLD OF A DREAM

On The Threshold Of A Dream is the fourth album by The Moody Blues, released in 1969. Like most Moody albums, On The Threshold Of A Dream follows a concept. It explores dreams, especially on the second side, which climaxes with the "Voyage" suite, inspired in part by Richard Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra".

This album is oozing with bright, splashy creative flourishes in two seemingly contradictory directions that somehow come together as a valid whole. On The Threshold Of A Dream provided The Moody Blues with their first British #1 album and remained on the charts for an astonishing 70 weeks.

The Moody Blues are regarded as one of the most innovative and successful rock bands in music history and you only have to put down the needle on this record to be convinced that this bold statement is indeed a fact.

MR. BUNGLE - CALIFORNIA

California is the third and final studio album by Mr. Bungle and the follow-up to Disco Volante (1995). The American experimental band including Mike Patton (Faith No More, Tomahawk, Fantômas, etc) was formed in 1985 while the members were still in high school. Mr. Bungle released four demo tapes in the mid to late 1980s before being signed to a major label and releasing three full-length studio albums between 1991 and 1999. Mr. Bungle was known for its distinctive musical traits, often cycling through several musical genres within the course of a single song. Many of its songs had an unconventional structure and utilized a wide array of instruments and samples.

Originally released in 1999 California was generally well received. The album was previously only available on vinyl in the USA.

JOHNNY CASH - BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS

Originally released in 1963, Blood, Sweat and Tears is the fifteenth studio album by American icon Johnny Cash.

Essentially the album is a collection of songs about the  American working man. It includes the classic ballad "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer" and the single "Busted". Five years after the release of Blood, Sweat and Tears, both songs appeared on one of Cash's most famous records, At Folsom Prison [MOVLP274].

The album's title is inspired by a quote from Winston Churchill, saying he can offer "nothing but blood, toil, tears, and sweat." According to critics the album consists almost entirely of first-rate material and is an essential album in the Johnny Cash catalogue.  180 gram audiophile vinyl

The Mighty Fine- "Brothers and Smugglers" LP (Oxblood Vinyl w/ Yellow Splatter)

We are so excited to announce the addition of San Luis Obispo's THE MIGHTY FINE to the Creator-Destructor family! Formed in 2008, the California 4-Piece has been making waves on the West Coast with their special brand of mid-tempo melodic punk, sure to please fans of Hot Water Music, Alkaline Trio, and The Lawrence Arms.

The band's brand new LP, 'Brothers and Smugglers' will see a March 4th, 2014 release in Vinyl, CD, and Digital formats. Recorded throughout 2013 in North Hollywood with Producer Kyle Black (Strung Out, Set Your Goals, Comeback Kid), 'Brothers and Smugglers' is chock-full of powerful sing-alongs and punk rock anthems that are reminiscent of the No Idea / Epitaph persuasion of the last 20 years, while offering up a memorable and exciting spin on the sound. The 10 tracks that comprise 'Brothers and Smugglers' see the band at their very best, only improving on the powerful, catchy songwriting and knack for hooks that have gained the band attention thus far.

The Clean 'Anthology' Pre-Order (reissue)

Anthology serves as a celebration of The Clean, a band whose influence extends so far beyond their New Zealand home that even if you have never heard of The Clean before, you have surely heard of some of the bands (Pavement, Yo La Tengo, and Superchunk, to name a few) who have been influenced by their unique blend of homemade garage rock, hook-filled melodies, and psychedelic experimentalism.

The album is a compilation of songs from across The Clean’s legendary musical career, which began in 1981 and continues today. Merge originally released the 2-CD Anthology in 2003, but in celebration of our 25th anniversary, we felt the time was right to release this essential collection on quadruple LP.

Hamish and David Kilgour formed The Clean in 1978. Hamish played drums, and David picked up a guitar and figured out how to play it as he went along. Various other folk passed through the Kilgour brothers’ orbit during the first two years or so before Robert Scott (The Bats) joined on bass. Hamish, David, and Robert all wrote songs and sang in The Clean, who made their first recordings for the renowned New Zealand label Flying Nun in 1981.

Anthology kicks off with The Clean’s call-to-arms debut “Tally Ho!”; the story of the infectious track’s $60 recording bill is now legendary. From there, it continues with the early EPs Boodle Boodle Boodle and Great Sounds Great in their entirety. The hits—“Billy Two,” “Anything Could Happen,” “Beatnik,” and “Getting Older”—and live favorites like “Point That Thing Somewhere Else” and instrumentals “Fish” and “At the Bottom” all serve up memories of the joyous noise that characterized The Clean of that time. These recordings, mostly made by the band with Chris Knox and Doug Hood at the helm of the 4-track, capture the bright, raw sound of a classic garage band.

After a brief breakup, the band recorded Vehicle, their first full-length, in 1989. Vehicle was made in three days and engineered by Alan Moulder (later to become one of the top producers of the alternative era, recording the Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, and My Bloody Valentine). The sounds of Vehicle and the two albums that followed it, Modern Rock (1994) and Unknown Country (1996), make up the bulk of discs 3 and 4 of the vinyl Anthology. The Clean used organ and other keyboards to mix bouncing pop tunes with continued experimentation.

In addition to selections from these full-length recordings, Anthology includes two songs released only on an American 7-inch and two that appeared on a bonus flexi-disc with the Modern Rock LP.

The Clean’s story is on-again/off-again purely by design. It suits the trio’s creative desires and keeps them clear of the machinery that threatened to interfere with that process from the moment they threatened to get awfully popular awfully quickly over thirty years ago. The Clean’s modern age has seen them splitting time and hemispheres: David Kilgour has a reputable solo catalog; Robert Scott has The Bats; and Hamish Kilgour has been an endearing and enduring fixture in New York City, playing with assorted combos.

Preorders and t-shirt bundles will ship to arrive on or around the release date of July 15.

Caribou 'Our Love' Pre-Order

You reach a point in life where the question of how to stay at the top of your game looms, with the only real solution being: you change the game. Our Love, the new album from Caribou, is the sound of Dan Snaith doing just that. Our Love, due October 7 on Merge Records, is the fifth studio album from Caribou.

Our Love is formed around a mixture of digital pop production, hip hop-inspired beats, muted house basslines, and a love of shuffling garage that can be traced all the way back to the time of Start Breaking My Heart – all of which are, of course, filtered through Dan’s own unique perspective. The warm analog sounds of classic soul should not be overlooked either, for they weave themselves most intensely into the record’s DNA. In fact, Our Love is probably Caribou’s most soulful record to date, with tracks like “Back Home” whose heartfelt lyrics – dealing in tired relationships and a weary kind of love – and organic nature cut through the bubbling synths and blissful euphoria of their synthetic constructions. It’s not all downbeat of course; while some thoughts linger on mortality, loss, and letting go, there is always an element of celebration.

Having followed up his Polaris Prize-winning 2007 record Andorra with the universally adored Swim in 2010 (selling nearly 175,000 copies worldwide and being named Album of the Year by Rough Trade, Mixmag, and Resident Advisor while also hitting The Guardian, Pitchfork, Spin, and Mojo’s Top 20), Dan has spent the intervening four years touring the world, bringing not only the sounds of Caribou to the stage but proving his immeasurable worth as a DJ with epic 7½-hour-long sets. In 2012, Caribou were personally invited to join Radiohead on the road while Dan released his first album under the guise of his dancefloor-loving pseudonym Daphni to widespread critical acclaim. Following the shape-shifting sounds of JIAOLONG and the brightly textured, fluid constructions of Swim – both inward-looking records in their own way – Dan withdrew to the basement once more to work on Caribou’s next opus. Only he didn’t: Our Love isn’t the sound of isolated creation but the sound of Dan at his most connected – with love for his listeners, his collaborators, and those closest to him.

Preorders will ship to arrive on or around the release date of October 7.

Ask Mr. Music by Jerry Osborne

FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 2, 2014


DEAR JERRY: I found this statement in the Jerry Fuller biography posted by "All Music" (allmusic.com):

"Although Fuller had originally written 'Travelin' Man' with Sam Cooke in mind, he quickly realized he had Rick Nelson's number."

I seem to recall reading that Jerry not only didn't have Rick's number, but that he was shocked to find out that Rick knew of the song.

Since you have interviewed Fuller before in the column, can you look into this?
—Kevin Ricks, Bakersfield, Calif.

DEAR KEVIN: The first part of that sentence is true, the remainder is not — at least according to Jerry Fuller himself.

Here is his account of the "Travelin' Man" adventure — from trash can to million-seller:

"It's the first song I wrote that Rick recorded, but I didn't really write it for him. I wrote it for Sam Cooke.

"I researched how they refer to young girls in Germany (fraulein) and Mexico (senorita), and added Hong Kong, Alaska, and Waikiki to play upon the 'in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl' concept.

"After I finished writing, I called Glen Campbell and we went into the studio. Glen played guitar while I sang it like I thought Sam Cooke would. We recorded it on an acetate, or demo disc. We took that demo to J.W. Alexander, Sam Cooke's manager, and he said 'I'll give it a listen when I get a chance.' He must have played it at least once because Joe Osborn, who just happened to be in the office next door, heard it through the wall.

"Joe went over to Alexander's office and asked if he still had that traveling song he'd just played. J.W. reached into the trash can, retrieved the demo, then gave it to Joe.

"Osborn, the bass player in Nelson's band, played it for Rick who liked it and quickly recorded it. I had not yet met Joe, so when he called me and said 'Rick just heard your song and he's recording it,' I said 'Rick who, and what song?'

"He said 'Rick Nelson, and "Travelin' Man."

"No kidding, how'd HE get it, I asked. Joe then told me the story, and added: 'Rick is wondering if you have any more songs.'

"My quick reply: 'I got about 80 more and I'll get 'em right over to you!"

"Travelin' Man" went to No. 1 on all the charts, and, backed with "Hello Mary Lou" (Imperial 5741), sold over six million records.

Rick eventually recorded nearly two dozen more of Jerry Fuller's songs, several of which became huge hits

Alphabetically, here is the complete list (1961-1985), provided for us by Kent McCombs:

"A Stone's Throw" (unreleased)
"A Wonder Like You"
"Ain't Gonna Do You No Good"
"Baby You Don't Know"
"Break My Chain"
"Congratulations"
"Desire" (by the Trophies, including Rick)
"For Your Sweet Love"
"Hey There, Little Miss Tease"
"History Of Love"
"I Tried"
"It's Up To You"
"Just Take A Moment"
"Ladies Choice"
"Peddler Man"
"Poor Little Heart" (lost and unreleased)
"Poor Loser"
"Scratchin' " (by the Fleas, including Rick)
"Sweet Little Loveable You"
"That Warm Summer Night"
"Travelin' Man"
"You Got Me Gone"
"Young World"

Imagine how history would have been affected had the trash been picked up before Joe Osborn asked for and received that acetate.


DEAR JERRY: A few times in recent months you have written on the topic of instrumentals, and that gives me hope you will answer a question that no one else has been able to do.

Right about the time "Ahab the Arab" (Ray Stevens) was popular, there was an exotic instrumental that was the perfect companion, musically that is.

I clearly recall once when the dee jay played the two back-to-back and cleverly called it a "harem pairem."

Ahab's bold adventure takes place somewhere in the Middle East and this recording is definitely in that style, but without lyrics there are no other clues.

The instrumentation is unlike anything you'd hear in this part of the world, and I've heard nothing like it since.

Does any of this strike a chord with you?
—Pamela Mellon, Owensboro, Ky.


DEAR PAMELA: Yes, specifically a G-chord, 'G' in this case meaning Greece.

The exotic gizmo in the instrumental half of the harem pairem is called a bouzouki, and nowhere on earth is the bouzouki more significant than in Greece. It is as cherished there as a guitar is in the western world, and has been for nearly a hundred years.

Maintaining the harem connection — remember Ahab's secret paramour, Fatima, was plucked from the Sultan's harem — the title of this summer 1962 single is in fact "The Sultan's Harem" (Era 3076).

The primary artist credited on the label is violinist Hrach Yacoubian, but the stunning bouzouki solo is by Iordanis Tsomidis, one of Greece's most accomplished bouzouki masters.

Want more? There are numerous YouTube videos featuring Greek megastar Nana Mouskouri with bouzoukia accompaniment.

While you are there, reacquaint yourself with "The Sultan's Harem."

Superunknown by Soundgarden

In 2014, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Soundgarden’s massive album Superunknown which to date has sold 9 million albums worldwide and is certified five times platinum by the RIAA in the US.

Both a critical and commercial success, in 1994 Superunknown debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and earned the band two Grammys® for the singles “Black Hole Sun” and “Spoonman” in 1995. As relevant today as they were in 1994, the multi-platinum selling Soundgarden continues to be in the Top 10 most played artists on Active Rock radio and the band’s top 4 most played radio songs accumulating over 1 million in total airplay and 4 billion in total audience to date – are all from this very beloved album: “Black Hole Sun,” “Fell on Black Days,” “Spoonman” and “The Day I Tried To Live.” In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked the album as one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and the 100 Greatest Albums of the Nineties.

The 20th anniversary of Superunknown is a global priority and the band is very involved in the reissue celebration. In 2014 Soundgarden is touring the US and Europe in support of this Superunknown 20th anniversary and their latest album, 2012’s King Animal – their sixth album total and their first in sixteen years - debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 and has scanned over 222,000 albums to date.

Pennywise To Release "Yesterdays" On July 15 Via Vinyl

Southern California punk legends Pennywise will release their eleventh studio album, Yesterdays, on July 15 via Epitaph Records. Jim Lindberg is back as the front man, and Yesterdays includes songs written by deceased bassist, Jim Thirsk.

In their 26 years as a band, Pennywise has created a solid foundation as both a politically minded act and one of the most successful independent bands of all time. But it was not always that way. Pennywise got their start playing backyard parties in Hermosa Beach, California, without having any aspirations other than playing as many songs as they could before the police showed up. This side of Pennywise has never been captured until now, and Yesterdays sees the band putting their most nascent material in recorded form.

There have been two major changes in the Pennywise story since their last release, All or Nothing (2012). First, front man Jim Lindberg has rekindled with the band since leaving in 2009. And second, several songs featured on Yesterdays were written by deceased bass player, Jason Thirsk and have been properly recorded in the studio for the first time.

"We always wanted to go back and record these songs because later in our career we started to get more political and angry— that may have turned some people off but that's what we were feeling at the time," Lindberg explains. "In the back of our minds we knew we had these cool, old songs that were more life-affirming, it just took us 25 years to get back to it." Recorded in the band's hometown factory district which is known for its influx of rehearsal studios and surfboard repair shops, Pennywise were conscious give the tracks a hometown feel and preserve their original spirit. “We tracked the whole thing in a few days doing a couple of takes of each song so it's a really raw album in that sense."

Fans of Pennywise will recognize Yesterdays as Pennywise in their purest form. The album is a gift to fans who have supported the band since day one. Yesterdays marks a new chapter for the band, while still staying true to their roots.

"The Quitters energy and amazing live show have made them a favorite "night out" for all of us at the label for quite some time." said SquidHat Records President and founder, Allan Carter. "As I've watched them mature and evolve, both as performers and songwriters, I knew that the time was right to bring them into the family and help them make this incredible record."

Hailing from Las Vegas, NV, The Quitters, featuring Marc (lead Vocals/bass), Micah (drums/vocals), Tommy (lead guitar/vocals) and Randy (guitar/vocals) met in their high school Jazz band and played their first show on July 20th, 2004. Since then they have been named "Best Punk Rock Band" by Vegas Rocks Magazine in 2011, and have developed a large, loyal following through tireless dedication, relentless touring and a high-speed, energetic live show that can't help but prompt an old-school mosh pit.

The Quitters play progressive, aggressive, obnoxious punk rock filtered through rock, jazz and latin influences and sustained by a relentless hardcore punk energy. Their style is as unique as it is frenzied and they push beyond the typical 4 chord progression of traditional punk music. Each song incorporates an element of adopted style, something they haven't done before, to make the music approachable but also complex. In the typically repetitive genre of modern punk The Quitters pride themselves on breaking the mold while holding on to the ideal and influences of their punk past.

With such diverse influences as Refused, Bad Religion, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Bronx, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Mars Volta, Green Day, Offspring, MGMT and Dillinger Escape Plan their powerful sound punches you in the face with lightning-fast drumming, shredding guitar and bass and frantic high-energy vocals.

The Quitters indie label debut will be released on July 8, 2014, by SquidHat Records, with extensive tour support to follow. Halfway between hipster and hardcore these Quitters won't be quitting anytime soon.

WU-TANG CLAN- WU-TANG FOREVER

Wu Tang’s second album Wu-Tang Forever (1997) followed up on the massive success of Enter The Wu- Tang. With more elaborate production, soundtrack style violins & synths and the addition of protégée Cappadonna, the gang continued to tell stories about ghetto life, hoochie mamas and getting high as a kite. Standout tracks are “Reunited”, “For Heaven’s Sake” and “Visionz”, with their slightly off-beats and inventive use of samples, with great narratives to boot. Right from the get-go, Wu-Tang Forever is an outstanding and defining Hiphop record (on no less than EIGHT sides) that’s built to last.

The first pressing is available as a limited issue on clear vinyl!

TED NUGENT- CAT SCRATCH FEVER

Originally released in 1977, Cat Scratch Fever is the third studio album by Ted Nugent, and a very successful one: it went multi-Platinum and some say it’s his best album ever. Recorded in New York and London, the album saw the return of lead singer Derek St. Holmes, who had left the band during the recording of 1976’s Free-For-All. The album was the last one with his original solo band.

The title track (and single) “Cat Scratch Fever” is perhaps one of the best hard rock anthems of all time. This album is a real rock classic in the truest sense of the word!

Alvvays - Alvvays 

(Release Date: Jul 22, 2014)

Alvvays are two women, three men, a crate of C-86 tapes and a love of jingle-jangle.

Molly Rankin and Kerri MacLellan grew up as next-door neighbours in Cape Breton, lifting fiddles and folk-songs. Heartbreaks of different shades soon entered their lives, as did the music of Teenage Fanclub and Belle & Sebastian. Similar noisy melancholy drifted over to Prince Edward Island, finding Alec O'Hanley, Brian Murphy and Philip MacIsaac.

Convening in Toronto, the group have been making music since dusk or maybe dawn, when stars were appearing or fading off. As a result, their debut self-titled album is both sun-splashed and twilit -- nine songs concealing drunkenness, defeat and death in tungsten-tinted pop that glitters like sea glass.

With needlepoint melody and verse, Rankin and O'Hanley's songs were recorded at Chad VanGaalen's Yoko Eno studio and mixed by Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck) and John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile).

The resultant album is loud and clear and sure. Flood your ears.

On 180-Gram Cream (Early Bird Edition - Limited to 300) and 180-Gram Electric Blue (In stores July 22)
