Great B-side to "Brown-Eyed Girl" called "You Better Be Careful" by the The Golliwogs from '65. Of course, it was The Golliwogs before it was Creedence Clearwater Revival. All you CCR haters should stop following my blog now please.

Leslie West
Hey y'all, finally back- fixed my pathetic, broken PC and have some goodies for all my people to hear. Thanks Teddy for your support and additions in the documentary realm, all those docs are great, my personal favorite is Decline Part 2. Funny shit. Keep it up my main furl, it's nice to have a partner in crime to make up for my inconsistent posting and sheer laziness. I return with this serious fuzz monster that I've been listening to non-stop, I'm sure you'll probably do the same. "Dream of Milk and Honey" is off '69's Mountain, an album that is sometimes credited as an Mountain album but is actually solo Leslie West and members of Mountain. Anyways, have a listen and it's nice to be back...

Holy shit Anvil
Alright, time for a real post.
Herro, everybody, I gotta start by apologizing for any typos b/c I'm typing today through a massive hangover, a late night full of Thai food, Bombay G+Ts, and lots of Tiger beer. Today it's time for a real movie, it's time for motherfuckin Anvil. The first two posts here were more or less historical documents, I posted them b/c they’re noteworthy or whatever. But Anvil, holy shit.
This is a movie you have to see. Have you heard of Anvil? Yes, no, maybe so? Shit I hadn’t, but after watching this flick I’m sure I’ll never forget them.
Anvil is a Canadian Metal band, they were popular in the eighties along with all the other bands featured in Decline part 2, they are in fact regarded as one of the original metal bands, having a major influence over the whole scene. The thing is, after a brief period in the spotlight, something didn’t work out and they quickly faded into obscurity.
But they have never stopped playing shows or recording albums. This movie, filmed in 2008 follows this ancient rock band on their final push to really become rock stars by recording their 13th album and touring Europe. You’ve gotta check it out, you'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll wish you'd have actually bought the DVD if you are a pirate.
One further note, Anvil's second label 'Hypnotic Records' was formed by the then-manager of the greatest band of all, Helix.

The Decline Part 2
Dude. Two words, Hair Metal. Filmed from 1987 to 1988 Part 2 covers exactly that. Alice Cooper, Ozzy, Poison, Queensryche, Megadeath, Motorhead, and countless other bands I’ve never heard of, all blathering away about what it’s like to be a rockstar.
While I found Part 1 to be a badass account of a fuckoff crazy underground world, Part 2 is much less so. The interviews are a fantastic display of mouth diarrheaed jerkoffs spewing brainless garbage into the camera. Not to say I didn’t enjoy the movie immensely, it’s a fantastic account of a bygone era in music which produced, not one, but two reality TV stars and an American Idol host. And if that’s not enough it also produced some of the best and laughably worst rock and roll ever recorded. Check it out for your much needed dose of Hair.

A New Face on the Scene
Hey everybody, my name’s Ted and I live in Vietnam. I’ve asked mister Furtracks himself if I could come onto this site and add a few things I’ve been into lately, and he's graciously excepted my offer.
I’m gonna switch things up though, over the next few weeks I’ll be putting up a series of posts referencing not tracks or albums I’ve come across but music documentaries I’ve dug up or ran into while trouncing around the internet realm.
There’ll be a bunch of different shit on here, so if one week’s not your style, check back the following and there may be something totally different.
One other thing is that I can’t put the files up for direct download as they’re too big. I can however suggest you check your friendly neighborhood torrent site where you can d/l nearly all that will be posted. And of course they’re mostly avail through legit means on iTunes or Amazon or however else ya’ll crazy kids are watching movies these days.
Today I’ll start off with the LA punk rock documentary “Decline of Western Civilization Part 1”
The first thing I dig about this flick is that it never made it to DVD so the copy I have was captured from a VHS tape giving it certain wobbly shitty street cred.
It was filmed from 1979 to 1980 in LA and features bands like Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, the Germs, and Fear, among others. I think it’s a pretty badass look into the world which was LA punk. No posers, no real agenda, just intimate interviews in people's shitty hovels and crappy kitchens. All paired with lots of furl-fuckin-tastic concert footage.
It shouldn’t be too hard to find online, I’m guessing nearly impossible to find otherwise. Let me know if you have troubles and I can help you out.

Apple-Glass Cyndrom
Great heavy feel good psychedelia here my furls. This is their only 45 released, both sides are full of fuzz and organ which is probably why I love this so much. Here's both "Going Wrong" and "Someday" from '69...
Going Wrong
Someday
