Here’s the final purge of single-track reposts. If you’re request isn’t here then you most likely are not getting it unless I already planned on reposting it on my big “you should have asked for these songs” post. If you made a request and it’s not here it’s because you touch yourself at night. More tomorrow…or something, April is in full effect for me already.

The Other Two
Tasty Fish (Pascal Mix 12”)
Tasty Fish (O.T. Mix)

My brother just called me to ask how to spell “Chinese”.

He’s 32 years old.

Fuck-a-doodle-doo I need more alcohol.

Anyways….so this is how it’s going down for the rest of the week:

Tonight is the last night of reposts that will also feature new tracks. Tomorrow (or whenever I post next) will be the clearing house of reposts that are just tracks I’ve already posted, with no extra bonus tracks (usually because I have nothing else to post from said artists). After that I’ll be posting a few complete albums that people have requested (the gall of them!) and then I’ll be closing off my massive lovefest with a selection of tracks/albums that I want reposted because I have better taste than all of you.

Bjork
Joga (Alec Empire State Of Emergency Mix)
Human Behaviour (The Underworld Remix)
There’s More To Life Than This (Non Toilet Mix)
Venus As A Boy (Anglo American Extension)
The first one of these is a repost, the rest are new and were taken off of a single for “Venus As A Boy.” The “Joga” mix is one of my all-time favorite remixes, combining two great things that taste great together – Bjork’s amazing voice and Alec Empire’s tendency to surround everything with loud abrasive noise. Side note: “Non Toilet Mix” is the worst name for a mix ever.

Danny Elfman
Gratitude (Tornado Version)
Gratitude (Extended Version)
Oingo Boingo
Not My Slave (Extended Mix)
Stay (Stay Late Mix)
Dead Man’s Party (Party ‘Till You’re Dead Mix)
Danny Elfman’s tracks are old, the Oingo Boingo stuff is not. I thought I posted that remix of “Not My Slave” ages ago but I cannot find it anywhere so here it is for the first time I guess. I have more Oingo Boingo to Post(o) so look for that sometime in the future.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Two Tribes (Annihilation Mix)
Rage Hard (Extended Version)
Sufferragette City (Suffer In The City)
(Don’t Lose What’s Left) Of Your Little Mind
Two Tribes is a repost, everything else is brand spankin’ new. The other tracks all come from the 12” single to “Rage Hard” which was a single off of Frankie’s rarely-bought sophomore album Liverpool. Their cover of “Suffragette City” (with the funky spelling) is totally sweet and everyone should download it. The other stuff is good but pales in comparison.

Sex Pistols -God Save The Queen (Dance Mix)
John Lydon – The Rabbit Song
Public Image Ltd. – Death Disco (12” Remix)
The only one of these that’s new is the PiL track, which I grabbed off of the Plastic Box compilation. The Rabbit Song, for those of you who may not know, is the newest song released by John Lydon, and was included on his UK-only greatest hits compilation. It’s a great return to that classic PiL sound and I hope he takes enough of a break from whoring himself out to finish the album it’s supposed to appear on.

Anyone else notice that when I changed servers I accidentally forgot to move my nifty logo? For three or four days this site went all Cameron Crowe Director’s Cut on your ass and was Untitled.

Before I get going with all the happy reposts, I’m going to tell everyone which songs I will for sure not be reposting (with the reasons why)

Public Image Ltd. – Disappointed (Radio Edit)
This is just a shorter version of the album track, I stopped posting radio edits after I figured this out. If you really want a shorter version of this song just stop playing the album version about four minutes in. There, I just saved myself and you some time.

M – Pop Music (Long Version)
It’s really just the album version. The 12” was mislabeled.

Straight To Hell Soundtrack & Two Minds Crack
I NEVER POSTED THESE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Sigh. Strangely enough the Straight To hell soundtrack is in my recording queue so I might get to it someday. Not strangely enough I have never heard of Two Minds Crack and I wonder what crack said person was smoking when they asked me to put it back up here.

Many White Stripes B-sides
That was a big post, and I don’t want to deal with all that jazz again. I’ll put up the highlights in a couple days though.

Also remember that I cannot get to you all and if I miss your request it’s not a slight against your musical tastes (okay, well it might be) and I probably just didn’t have the time to get to it.

On a politer note, I appreciate that most of you followed my uptight ass and went by the rules with your requests and did it in the comment field. A couple people emailed me instead (you know who you are) but lucky for you I was planning on reposting those tracks anyway.

I plan on doing this all week and each time I’ll be sprinkling in a few new tracks with the reposts so pay attention!

Talk Talk
Why Is It So Hard? (12” U.S. Remix Extended Version)
Talk Talk (12” Mix Extended Version)
My Foolish Friend (12” Mix Extended Version)
It’s My Life (12” Remix Extended Version)
Dum Dum Girl (12” Remix Extended Version)
Such A Shame (12” U.S. Remix Extended Version)
Living In Another World (Curious World Dub Mix)
Talk Talk (Remix)
Living In Another World (Mendelsohn Remix)
Living In Another World (Live)
Between the comment field in the original post, my call for requests and several unsolicited emails, I’ve gathered that some of you want these tracks back up here. The first six tracks are from the requested It’s My Mix EP. The last four have never been posted here before and are from the single to “Living In Another World.” I have some more Talk Talk that I’ll be posting later, but it might not be for a while so don’t wait up.

The Sugarcubes
Fucking In Rhythm & Sorrow (Live)
Birthday (Christmas Eve/Day Remix)
Birthday (Christmas Present Remix)
Petrol (Live)
Leash Called Love (12” Single)
So according to everything I’ve read the “Christmas Eve” and “Christmas Day” remixes of this song are two separate recordings. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how/if both of them were on this single I got though, so that’s why it’s labeled as it is. Sorry for the confusion – maybe something was lost in the Icelandic-to-English conversion. I blame Einar. “Fucking In Rhythm & Sorrow” is a repost, the rest are new.

Fleetwood Mac
Landslide (Remix)
Landslide (String Mix)
Landslide (Analog Mix)
Big Love (Extended Remix)
To the dude that asked for these: Your girlfriend wants to hear these? You know these really suck right? Seriously, these remixes are probably the stupidest tracks I’ve ever posted (excluding anything that has a Moog or is by Meco). I hope she doesn’t leave you. I’m also including an equally WTF remix of “Big Love” – you two deserve it.

My host’s server is down. They’re working on it. Until then no link worky.

I’m going to mention this for the last time. As I do every March (the anniversary of The Lost Turntable) I am taking requests for reposts of previous posts. So far I’ve only gotten a few, and since one was for a track that I’m 99% sure I never even posted, you guys better get on the ball with this shit. Since I was so behind with requesting your requests (say that five times fast) I’m giving all you mofos till the end of the week to tell me what you want. Put it in the comment field, so I don’t get a billion emails asking for that damn Talk Talk EP. Seriously, what’s the deal with that? Everyone seems to go apeshit for those bastards except me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate Talk Talk, I’ve just never been a big fan. Anyways, let me know what you want – I’m not this nice that often you know.

Butthole Surfers
Pepper (Comin’ Down The Mountain Mix – Edit)
Pepper (Short Shot Mix)
Pepper (Halluncinations’ Funky Salt-Lick Mix)
As a fan of The Surfers’ early insane psychedelic experimental mindfucks, I still have to say that this is one of my favorite songs by them. Many of their hardcore fans considered this tune to be a “sell-out” but I don’t know how much a band that calls itself Butthole Surfers can actually sell out. I love these sick bastards and I hope they record another album some day. Their existence is the sole reason why I hold any hope for Texas. These remxies came from a 12” single and have a few cracky noises in them. I removed them to the best of my ability. I don’t think these versions were every put on CD. The single also included the album cut “Jingle Of A Dog’s Collar” – a painful song about the death of a dog. Since you can get that one on Electriclarryland I didn’t include it, but I suggest everyone listen to it.

Greenhouse Effect Vs. Radiohead
Side 1
Side 2
Okay, this is one I don’t know a whole hell of a lot about but I sure am digging it. I picked this up at 720 Records during their grand opening and I was happy as hell that I did. It’s a “mash-up” record featuring the MCs of the indie-rap group Greenhouse Effect performing over various Radiohead tunes. It also has a bunch of random Radiohead interview quotes and other oddities thrown in. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to cut this bitch up into tracks, so it’s just split into sides.

Placebo
Dub Psychosis
Passive Aggressive (Brothers In Rhythm Remix)
Special K (Timo Maas Remix)
Little Mo
Slave To The Wage (I Can’t Believe It’s A Remix)
Special K (Timo Maas Dub Mix)
I got these off of some weird EP titled Black Market Music Remix Sampler. I’m fairly certain everything on it has also been released on singles, EPs and various other releases through the years. I was debating making a zip file with all the songs, but I figured a lot of people out there would just want the remixes of “Special K” so I left them separate. Most of these remixes aren’t all that hot too be honest, but the B-side “Little Mo” is a must-listen.

I just canceled my old shitty .mac account. It was a rip-off and I don’t suggest anyone ever getting one for any reason. I stopped using it for my new posts ages ago but a few of my older posts that I kept the links active to still do. The most notable of these being the Urgh post. So if you’re scouring the archives for some good shit and you come across a dead link don’t tell me. I know and I’m on it.

Be Your Own Pet
Becky
Black Hole
Blow Yr Mind
Be Your Own Pet is an awesome band. If you like punk or just loud music then you should dig them. Their self-titled debut featured one of my favorite songs of the new millennium (“Bicycle, Bicycle, You Are my Bicycle”) and they were a highlight when I saw them at Lollapalooza – especially since the singer puked on stage and then wiped off her mouth and finished the set.

Everyone reading this should buy their new record Get Awkward. It’s a great step forward for them, more slickly produced and refined but still retaining their raw power and insanity. However, if you’re buying it in America you aren’t getting the full release. Some vapid shitbag at Universal Records decided that three of the tracks on it were “too violent” and pulled them from the album. Even with these tracks pulled the album is stuck with a parental advisory warning – so whomever this douchebag is he’s basically telling adults that they shouldn’t listen to the music they want.

Record labels don’t want you to illegally download right? Then why do they do stupid shit like this? By removing these songs from the album they force the band’s fans to go online and download them at evil anti-capitalist sites…like this one. I want to find this anti-violence executive and staple is balls to his leg.

This Is Boston, Not L.A.
This is a seminal punk release that chronicled the hardcore punk scene in Boston (duh). It was later released on CD for a short time and included six bonus tracks. I don’t have those since these are off of my own vinyl. If you like hardcore punk then you’ll dig this. Listen to it and punch a hippie (or a shithead record executive).

In my angsty-rage I’ve totally forgotten that this month marks the two year anniversary of The Lost Turntable. Just like last year I’m making an exception and will be reposting select tracks that people missed the first time around. Once again I am making no promises that I will repost the tracks you want, but if you ask it may come back. But don’t expect anything like this again. I don’t got the time for that bullshit.

Leave requests in the comment section for this post ONLY.

Okay, I’m really angry right now. I got my reasons and I’m going to stick by them, but what is really getting my goat at the moment is the news that Converse is releasing a limited edition series of “Kurt Cobian Converse” that will feature his signature and selected passages and images from his journals plastered on the sides and even in the soles of them. You can read more (and see vomit-inducing pics of the monstrosities) here. And before you ask, yes Courtney was involved.

Sigh…I don’t even know where to begin.

I don’t consider Kurt a saint or some heavenly figure that is beyond reproach or anything like that, but this is fucked up. How do you, with a clear conscience, exploit and commercialize someone who spent his entire life not wanting to be exploited or commercialized? I don’t have a problem with Nirvana songs being used in movies or video games – but this crosses the line into poor taste. How does Courtney justify this move in her fucked-up overly medicated shitstorm of a mind.

Secondly, the idea of plastering them with writings from Kurt’s journals is just a real dick move. I was against the publication of those journals when they were first released and this just pisses me off more. Kurt was an intensely private individual and would not want to see people sporting his personal writings as hip fashion statements.

Also the whole “punk rock is freedom” thing is something Kurt wrote a very long time ago (I know this from reading Heavier Than Heaven – a good but not great book about Kurt) and it was something he later recanted as he became upset with the punk rock community’s inability to embrace anything new.

Since Converse (and Courtney) are so willing to let the world view Kurt’s inner-pain and deepest feelings in the form of shoes, why don’t they make a model off of this pair:

I can imagine the ad copy now, “Converse’s Cobain Collection continues with the extra-limited edition Suicide Black Edition! Each pair comes with dirt and bloodstains as well as the faint smell of gunpowder and rotting flesh!”

I also want to mention that ever since Converse was bought by Nike their shoes suck.

But you probably didn’t come here to read my rantings and ravings about a capitalist society gone amuck and the raping of our culture did you? You came here for the music. Well, you’re still not going to escape Nirvana because everything today is by them. These tracks are from a large variety of sources, including official imports and singles, compilation albums and bootlegs (mainly the Outcesticide series). I didn’t include anything that is easily available though. Nor did I select anything that was on the With The Lights Out box set.

Do You Love Me?
This was originally on a Kiss tribute album called Hard To Believe. Krist sings on this one and after about 20 seconds of hearing it you’ll understand why they never let the lanky bastard sing again. I had a friend who had this track and he played it so much one day that his mom grounded him – it annoyed her that much.

Return Of The Rat
This was originally recorded by The Wipers and released on a Wipers tribute album. It was eventually put out on the With The Lights Out box set, but that version was remixed and tweaked. This is the original version that appeared on the tribute album.

Lithium (Alternate Version “Mix Six”)
This recording of slightly subpar quality is an early version of Lithium. It’s much shorter than the final one.

The Money Will Roll Right In
Not a Nirvana original. I don’t know where this recording was originally from or who recorded it first.

Untitled Home Demo
This is frequently called “Bambi Kill'” or “Bambi Slaughter” by bootleggers. But that’s an entirely different tune. Odds are this doesn’t even have a name.

Asking For It
A Hole song. This early version features Kurt on backup vocals though. He pops in at the end.

Blew (Live)
Been A Son (Live)
Stain (Live)
These three live tracks are taken off of a vinyl 45 bootleg called “Alive II”. I can’t find my physical copy right now, but I remember it mentioning that they were recorded at The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor.

Moist Vagina
A demo version of this insanely creepy tune was on the With The Lights Out box set but oddly enough the final studio version was left off. It was previously released on the All Apologies CD single.

Spank Thru (1985 Fecal Matter Recording)
Sappy (1990 Studio Demo)
Come As You Are (Boom Box Version)
These three demos and home recordings are from the “Sliver: Best Of The Box” release. Courtney put these three tracks that weren’t on the box set on this single CD release to gyp completists out there into buying both. Smooth move there bitch. You think the sales of the massive box set would’ve given the whore enough money, but I guess those drugs aren’t cheap.

Spank Thru
As far as I know this is the studio version of the ode to masturbation that was originally on Sub Pop 200. I could be wrong though. I do know that the studio version was inexplicably left off of the With The Lights Out box set.

Random Bullshit
This untitled track was a bonus to freaks like me who picked up “From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah.” It’s not a song but rather a collection of funny things Kurt, Dave and Krist said on stage. This caused a temporary catch phrase between my friends and I after we first heard it; “You called me a vagina? How dare you?”
