Today is AUG 18th, 2019 motherfucker's...
YO!
This is me today. I don't put myself on the internet like most folx do using Facebook, Instagram & all the other types of "social media" that exist today.
There are currently, as you read this, people from Germany, Japan, Argentina, UK, France, Slovakia, Brazil, & Sweden looking and downloading various pieces of data from this blog. I know this because of the Statistics section. Not only that, there are further things that monitor where you came from prior to this blog, how long you spent here, your age and all kinds of other information. I don't fuck with all that, but it's there.
I wonder about you visitors... probably more then I should. You gotta be not the average/ common person for your area, right? How could you if you're obsessed with musical interests represented at this blog. You freaks!

The Rats - (2014) ST LP
Mississippi Records – 028
First LP, recorded in 1979 by Portland punk legends - the Rats. Fred and Toody Cole of Dead Moon, Pierced Arrows, The Range Rats, The Weeds, The Lollipop Shop and a million other bands along with Rod Rat present a punk rock masterpiece. Stripped down and lo fi. The record has a slight psychedelic edge and some definite roots in early rock and roll. The record that started to define the aesthetic that would later inform what Fred and Toody accomplished with Dead Moon. Nuts and bolts great songwriting on songs such as Teenagers, World war 3, Social Indigestion and more.

Mississippi Records – 001
At last! FRED and TOODY COLE (DEAD MOON, PIERCED ARROWS) and drummer LOUIS SAMORA's ultimate punk masterpiece—In A Desperate Red. This is the last record by the Portland punk legends before moving on to a very brief country period and then Fred and Toody moving on to Dead Moon. In fact, two songs from the first Dead Moon LP hail from the same session as this LP. In A Desperate Red combines garage rock, new wave and art punk—just picture a more punk version of Dead Moon if you can. 6 years of work went into remixing and remastering this version with Fred Cole twisting knobs and obsessing over it's every detail and then GREG SHADOAN and TIM STOLLENWERK finishing the job. One of Fred Cole's greatest records and impossible to find for many years—at last this LP is available as it was meant to be heard. Play it loud! First Pressing includes a 40-page booklet.
