Pushead Top 100 Podcast Part One Version One

By admin on Jun. 6, 2011.

Here’s the idea: Instead of doing regular Signifying Nothing podcasts this summer, I thought a cool idea would be to do podcasts chronicling the famous Top 100 Records of the Eighties that Pushead did many years ago. If people like this, I’d love to try it with various specific record labels too.

The plan: I will publish two versions of each set. One will be a straight mix, like the ones we all discovered so much cool music from in days gone by. The local young rager in training could always use a few more. The second will be a normal podcast with my own commentary like a regular episode of Signifying Nothing.

Twenty songs for each. I think this will be cool.

  1. Discharge-War’s No Fairy Tale
  2. Society System DeControl-Get It Away
  3. Subhumans-Parasites
  4. Minor Threat-Bottled Violence
  5. Bad Brains-The Regulator
  6. True Sounds of Liberty-Abolish Government/Silent Majority
  7. Disorder-Violent Crime
  8. Rudimentary Peni-Black President
  9. Jerry’s Kids-Raise The Curtain
  10. Anti Sect-Channel Zero Reality
  11. Gism-Death, Agonies, & Screams
  12. Faith-You’re X’d
  13. DYS-More Than Fashion
  14. Cockney Rejects-Bad Man
  15. State of Alert-Disease
  16. Sick of it All-Pete’s Sake
  17. Necros-Youth Camp
  18. Adolescents-Democracy
  19. The FU’s-Peer Police
  20. Antidote-Zero Mentality

RIP Pig Champion

By admin on Mar. 2, 2006.

The recent death of Poison Idea guitarist Pig Champion has hit me pretty hard. Poison Idea were playing hi-speed, brutal hardcore years before a lot of other bands caught on. Their demo, Darby Crash Rides Again, is at least a few years ahead of the curve. Pick Your King, their debut ep, is arguably the best hardcore record ever made. I can’t think of a way to dispute that. As they went on they continued to put out solid record after solid, even experimenting a little bit with melody and heaviness. They peaked with the early nineties LP Feel The Darkness, which combines the speed of the early stuff with a very “dark” tinge.

We Must Burn was actually the first punk record I owned on vinyl. I didn’t even have a record player yet; but I ordered that, a Flipper CD, and the William Burroughs/Kurt Cobain Split CD from a record distro. I was 13 probably. Whenever 8th grade was. I accidentally put down We Must Burn for vinyl (Orange!) and had to go to a friend’s house to make a tape copy of it. Whoops. I wouldn’t actually get a record player until a year or two later. Pretty cool I got to hear a Gism cover in 8th grade though.

Unlike a lot of bands, Poison Idea never did a bad record. They never changed their sound to fit what the masses thought “punk” was about that week.

The tributes have been pouring in from all over the net. Here are some of them:

A Blaze In The New Jersey Sky
Something I Learned Today
Punk Vault
7 Inch Punk
Strange Reaction

Also here is an interview Suburban Voice did with Pig + Jerry.
