THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART - 'BELONG' (2011, @slumberlandrecords)
___________
[To be read à la Godfrey Jones apologizing on 'Rock Bottom'] Sometimes in our mad pursuit of generating quality content for dozens of likes, we here at Tyler's Obnoxious Music Collecting Instagram Account sometimes... make mistakes. We would like to apologize for the following oversight: this album came out in 2011 and has at least two candidates for Top-60 tracks, if not possibly sneaking into his top 10 albums list, see, Tyler forgot it came out this decade until just recently. Maybe he conflated it with their first album, which dropped in '09, we don't know. What really matters is, that TPOBPAH, despite having a name that clearly started out as a joke but they didn't change in time to become famous, were crucial in establishing Slumberland as a righteous tune factory for the 21st century. Was this better than their self-titled? Sure, why not. [Btw, I missed the boat on the #springfieldvinylchallenge, but I'm gonna give it a shot starting next week, because rules? There are no rules, and your manager says for you to shut up!]

CRASS - 'PENIS ENVY' (1981, Crass Records)
#nowlistening
_________
Every time I finish listening to this record, I feel like I've just blacked out, come to, and the patriarchy's been dismantled. Sadly, that's never really worked, and these songs are just as relevant now as they were 40 years ago, but it's still a nasty masterpiece (nasterpiece?) and essential listening. Eve Libertine takes the keys from Steve Ignorant, and everyone steps up their game. Even Penny Rimbaud gets major creativity points for mixing it up on the drums. John Loder still being John Loder, of course (#genius) makes this sound like nothing else. Oh, and this pressing also includes "Our Wedding" as an unlisted track, and BOY IS IT UNSETTLING.

CHIXDIGGIT - S/T (1996, @subpop)
___________
Tonight I played my first organized, full-pads hockey game in... 15 years? Yes I'm sore and I sucked, but I'm kind of elated. So I decided to celebrate my return to Canada's national sport by pulling out a quite Canadian band...nay, the MOST Canadian band*! Not only does this kick ass (I don't make the devil horns for just any record), this may also be the least pretentious record ever made. They have a song called "I Wanna Hump You," for crying out loud. And it's GOOD. Also, on at least 5 occasions, @kjchix yells out "Let's rock," and his band mates proceed to make that shit happen. This rules, and I'm never gonna let the world forget what a favorable review @pitchfork gave this album, which they then scrubbed it from their website because they're cowards! Also, THIS CAME OUT ON SUB POP. Yeah, let that sink in with your underwhelming singles club subscription!! 🙊💅 awww that's right; the toilet seat's coming down, jerks (whatever that means) 🚽 .
Oh! I also learned what the Coquihalla was from this thing 🌄🗻🚐 so, thanks for the 🇨🇦 geography lesson. One of many this band has in their catalog. *No disrespect to Rush, who are true legends but I own none of their records. RIP Neil Peart.
