On the personal front, things may soon take a turn for the better, I may have a job in the works. Nothing to great, but let's just say my blogger name may change to Zoot Allures, because I may "Wind Up Working In A Gas Station" for about half of what I made before. But it's better than being broke. Still any denations and/or clicks on those ads are a big help, and I won't know for sure until mid-January unless something else pops up before then.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
So without anymore delay--my new years resolutions for 2007.
1. To stop trying to "culture" my friends by playing obscure Finnish prog in the middle of parties.
2. To stop mailing back postage paid Business Reply Mail envelopes empty just to piss the senders off.
3. To stop sending nasty letters to rap artists anonymously telling them how little talent they have.
4. To start sending nasty letters to new punk bands anonymously telling them how little talent they have and that they deserve to get a swift rectum jolt from Paul Simeon's jackboot.
5. To not run outside at 3 am in various states of (un)dress to see if when I yell "Belsen was a gasser" at the top of my lungs it will echo like it does on the album.
6. To stop eating pop tarts without toasting them. They are so much better warm.
7. To stop using curse words so fucking much.
8. To stop blaming global corporations for all the ailments of the world and to find who the hell is responsible for the other .005 percent.
9. To stop saying "How can it get any worse?" because everytime I do I get shown.
10. To try to become a better person than I can ever be, set goals that are unattainable and then beat myself up over the fact I can't do anything I set out to do.
11. To reach out and touch somebody's hand and make this world a better place, if I can (although I doubt touching a hand is gonna do a goddamn thing).
12. To try and actually listen to all of this great music I've been downloading.

And now for the music, first a bunch of stuff from me, then a bunch of Kiss tribute albums from Bigfoot Kit.
First up, McKenna Mendelson Mainline's 1969 LP Stink. Go to the comments section to read a cool mini-bio on this, my new years partying (consisting of watching a Seinfeld marathon on TBS) got in the way of my writing anything useful or correct about this.http://depositfiles.com/files/490665
And here's one I've had a bunch people ask for and I finally got ahold of it. From 1974 it's Hustler's High Street LP. Nice hard rock. I have the 2nd LP posted here but I don't know if it's still a working link. If not and somebody needs it, let me know and I'll dig it up and repost it.
http://depositfiles.com/files/490426
More prog, this time from 1973 with Badger's One Live Badger.http://depositfiles.com/files/490951
By request this is Stretch's Elastique. From 1975 this is hard rock with a bit of funkiness, but not too much as to overpower what is good ol' mid seventies rock n roll. Good obscure stuff.http://depositfiles.com/files/490715
Also by request, Tysondog's Beware of the Dog from 1984. More cool NWOBHM and as an added bonus the second link is their Shoot To Kill 4 Song EP.
http://depositfiles.com/files/490559
the EP:
http://depositfiles.com/files/490260
And yet another request this is the '77 EP Roy Loney, one of the founding members of Flamin' Groovies. If you like them, chances are you'll like this!

Sorry for this picture, I got it off of Lynn Carey's website, and it's about the only picture I could find of her & Neil Merryweather's 1971 LP Vacuum Cleaner. This is really great stuff, and if you wanna see more interesting stuff from Neil and Lynn, check out the cover of their next project, Mama Lion, which has Lynn doing something with a lion cub on the controversial front cover. But musically this is sooo much better than that.

SOME INFO FOR YAZ:
McKenna Mendelson Mainline is a seminal Canadian blues band originating in the late 1960s. Much of McKenna Mendelson Mainline uniqueness stemmed from the originality of their approach to the blues genre. In the summer of 1968, Toronto, Canada blues guitarist Mike McKenna (born April 15, 1946 in Toronto), formerly of Luke & The Apostles, placed an ad in The Toronto Star in May 1968 seeking musicians for a new project. In replying to the ad, acoustic blues artist Joe Mendelson (born July 30, 1944 in Toronto) suggested to McKenna that the idea of searching for blues musicians through the want ad milieu was an exercise in naïveté. Nevertheless, the two worked well creatively; and the basis of McKenna Mendelson Mainline's dynasty was formed. Former The Paupers bassist Denny Gerrard (born February 27, 1948 in Scarborough, Ontario) was invited to join, and The Spassicks' Tony Nolasco (born July 9, 1950 in Sudbury, Ontario) completed the quartet on drums. The band debuted at the Night Owl club in Toronto's Yorkville Village from August 5-10 and the following month recorded demos which later became the basis of a bootleg album, McKenna Mendelson Blues. Gerrard left the band in early October (immediately after a show at Massey Hall supporting The Fugs) because of artistic differences and was replaced by Mike Harrison (born November 1, 1948 in Brampton, Ontario), bassist from popular Canadian R&B band Grant Smith & The Power. What came to be known as "the original line up" was now in place. In November 1968, MMM opened for The Jeff Beck Group at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, USA, and garnered several standing ovations. The die was cast. In December 1968, MMM reversed the trend of English bands coming to North America, and proceeded to England to gig and hopefully to pursue a major record deal. The band hit the stage almost immediately, their first show being at the Utrecht Pop Festival on December 27/28, 1968, filling a prime timeslot just vacated by Jimi Hendrix and his duo (Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell). MMM started soon thereafter gigging on an English club circuit which included such notables as The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, Family (band), The Keef Hartley Band, Gun, and the newly-formed Led Zeppelin. After several false starts, they signed with Liberty/United Artists in the spring of 1969, and in April recorded their best-selling album Stink. Homesickness, dissension in the ranks, and the vagaries of youth facilitated a return to Canada in June 1969. Shortly after the July release of Stink, Allied Records released the demos recorded in September 1968 as McKenna Mendelson Blues. MMM thus became Canada's first "major label" act to be the victim of a bootlegged album. McKENNA MENDELSON MAINLINE Stink Liberty LBS83251 LP. G/f sleeve.

Hi Nils,
I would love to have the whole thing if you don't mind doing it!! I think my copy is only like 160k or something. And I only have the orig. LP from '73 (I think).
Riding High!! That's it!! I used to have it, it was on a blank red label and I didin't even have a cover for it.
And thanks for the Cannibis link anon, I also got Milkwood, 1619 Bad ass, and Blades of Grass from emails!! Thanks to all.
Happy new year BFKit!
That Left End-Riding Again sounds great. I would also love to hear it. I have a disc by them called "Live-Living and Breathing" from 1989. Has some studio tracks on there if I'm not mistaken. I'll have to look for it though.
Hi man,
I am a big fan of Neil Merryweather. Over 1 years I was looking for this "Vacum Cleaner". Thank you very much.
Every day I look for specialy "Heavy Cruiser" from Neil Merryweather. It will be great if I can foud it there.
I wish for all a Happy New Year...
Zizou BBA
Got any Rockicks?
See here what I'm talkin' about

Thanks for the Kiss tributes and happy 2007!!!
http://rapidshare.com/files/8408732/REAL_WAY_TO_EASY_GET_A_PREMIUM_ACCOUNT-_no_fake_logins.rar
I actually had (or may still have) the Rockicks LP. I'll look to see, it was on the RSO label I believe. Hopefully it's still there. If so I'll plop it up here eventually.
I may have Heavy Crusier also, but the one that is eluding me is the Merryweather & Boers album from 1970. I had that and someone offered me 20 bucks for it and I didn't get to tape or burn it. Anyone got that?
Og-- If you can find that Left End that would be a nice one too if it's live!!
Thanks for Tysondog. I had this back in the 80s and hadn't heard it since!

don't suppose anyone's seen 'Playback' by Appletree Theatre? Been looking for ages but it seems to have been wiped off the face of the earth....
Sounds like a good one for my first post of this year, Wibbler. Either tonight or early tomorrow.
Interesting album too. All those Verve Forecast bands were kinda fried out!
TT-
guess it was all that acety-sally-sillic acid that did their brains in... :-)
Dear Time Traveller, I would upload the Blades Of Grass CD reissue for you with pleasure. Just wait a few days (I'm on holiday right now)& it will be done. This will be my way to thank you for all the pleasure your blog brought me.
See you !
Hey Fruminous,
