Black Flag’s 1981 debut is one of the most important documents of early hardcore and helped laid the blueprint for the shape of the Punk that was to come.  Their DIY sensibility, relentless touring schedule and unparalleled work ethic are legendarily but none of it would still be talked about today if the music didn’t kick-ass and it most certainly does that.  Never before or since was the band’s sound and worldview more perfectly captured than on the fifteen urgently punishing tracks that play almost like a greatest hits record over the 35 minutes of this iconic masterpiece.       Recommended Listening    S.O.A. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3vWCEgyvt84zXAzySux9Ef?si=SMdk39O-RuySKjuDK7zELw   St. Vitus Thirsty &  Miserable  https://open.spotify.com/track/41zzjEyRVXEb3YYa3D8Pni   huntsmanhill.com

Fishbone’s eclectic mix of Funk, Punk, Ska and Metal hit its commercial peak with 1988’s Truth & Soul.  Not as gritty or chaotic as previous releases but unmistakably Fishbone.  Their music could only be made by them, six African American guys from LA wearing their hearts on their sleeves and on T&S deciding to express their social consciousness and the Black experience on record.  It’s a complicated party music and a fun conversation.    Recommended Listening    Songs The Promise Ring Is This Thing On? https://open.spotify.com/track/5dgyKLZKxfreuDaDQwEj9U   Curtis Mayfield Freddie’s Dead https://open.spotify.com/track/2ouFIPC3O1HNBcVTw1d9AN   The Vandals Urban Struggle https://open.spotify.com/track/7LqPbpF0tmGOkBBmXKmfI8   Book John Doe & Tom DeSalva More Fun in the New World:  The Unmaking and legacy of LA Punk   https://www.amazon.com/More-Fun-New-World-Unmaking/dp/0306922126/ref=pd_lpo_14_img_0/140-2122495-8781915?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0306922126&pd_rd_r=a64429e4-f450-4513-836d-821e77d9b878&pd_rd_w=E3aq1&pd_rd_wg=qSbSg&pf_rd_p=a0d6e967-6561-454c-84f8-2ce2c92b79a6&pf_rd_r=427TPYCYCK7YKH2QY8HN&psc=1&refRID=427TPYCYCK7YKH2QY8HN   huntsmanhill.com

A record that needs little introduction.  Just say “Maggot Brain” and the album cover of an afro’d woman, screaming and buried to her neck in dirt immediately comes to mind as does Eddie Hazel’s indelible guitar that blares for ten+ minutes on the opening title track.  We discuss the classic for more than twice the original albums runtime.  Time well spent.     Disclaimer:  We somehow completely neglected to discuss Funkadelic’s influence on 90’s West Coast Hip-Hop and on Dr. Dre’s G-Funk sound in particular.  A ridiculous omission that we’ll have to correct on a future episode.    Recommended Listening    Funkadelic https://open.spotify.com/album/2uTTr2MEM4xINKN9Bls8KX?si=Vodp8xr2Sp6bYRQjKJcRVg   Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow  https://open.spotify.com/album/4KwnXtl935KC3Jik2ZOsop?si=pA8xxyG4QSStDtZZBf-f1w   Cosmic Slop  https://open.spotify.com/album/0eluWxC7iv6vd3Bj5vxJqU?si=5JU4s0tISPGITe4fJMIcfg   George Clinton Vital Juices:  The Acid - Funk - Metal Doo Wop Years (1958 to 1974) https://www.discogs.com/George-Clinton-Vital-Juices-The-Acid-Funk-Metal-Doo-Wop-Years-1958-To-1974/release/555567   Red Hot Chili Peppers Freaky Styley  https://open.spotify.com/album/10Oqhoq2akSJnurJOPk8xT?si=_CwKmBhuTISUf6bgbD5azg   Sleigh Bells Rill Rill https://open.spotify.com/track/3GbjOImkNo5nFT2GQxVr11?si=MR0FD9BUT_yZz4tcN9Aruw   Childish Gambino Boogieman https://open.spotify.com/track/0SunFlwqT44E0BU0yrgM7u?si=j8iTYDjRQJyGoTIoZnmnkA   Ty Segal Hit it and Quit It https://open.spotify.com/track/0JnYzMYChOTG10sLBwNcl5?si=0Q6N76QlRiOKc8yhOziIWw   Birdman & ‘Lil Wayne Army Gunz https://open.spotify.com/track/1gPYPKadfau6rfqg6VdYjt?si=dAJPQTp8SXu7uFogKg1p_g   Audioslave Super Stupid https://open.spotify.com/track/2arIpFnXKshvVcwIsCLh8t?si=cH_qrLSqR6SbNx4LcQA5Tw     huntsmanhill.com

Glenn curates a conversation about the flourishing young Australian Punk scene and one of its recent standouts; Melbourne's Clowns.   They’re young, pissed off and noisy just like Punk Rock’s supposed to be.      huntsmanhill.com

Are OFF! a supergroup?  We debate while unanimously agreeing that they kickass.  Their glorious run began with The First Four EPs which we discuss for this episodes 67 min runtime which is approximately four times longer than the four EPs combined.     Recommended Listening    Books   Keith Morris My Damage  https://www.amazon.com/My-Damage-Story-Punk-Survivor/dp/0306825805/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=my+damage&qid=1617498576&sr=8-1   huntsmanhill.com
