Bad Case of Cramps
(34)
By Grabthar’s hammer! I just realized that the Cramps are not playing their usual Halloween show in San Francisco this year. I don’t know exactly how many times the cadaverous Lux Interior, the dead-sexy Poison Ivy and cohorts have rattled the Warfield or Fillmore on October 31st with their patented brand of shockabilly, but it won’t feel as much like All Hallows’ Eve without them in town.
Of course, I have some freaky alternatives in mind. (Insert evil chuckle here.) ... MORE

So, it is definitely arguable who and what band was the first to practice the fine art of psychobilly. Regardless of the answer, from my perspective The Cramps "popularized" (if you can ever associate that word with the Cramps) the genre. But that seems like a pointless argument, like trying to pinpoint the origins of punk and finding yourself all the way back at the invention of the first guitar.
Through my various musical phases growing up, one of the bands that... MORE

I really can't deal with morose music. I don't mind a little moody music, but now and then I hear something that's just too gloomy. I'm listening to the "new additions" to my music library on shuffle today, and hearing all sorts of great things. Everything from Molly Hatchet to Tool to Wylie the Yodeling Cowboy to PJ Harvey. Then along comes a Leonard Cohen song. Now, I know lots of people really like him, and I won't argue that he's a great songwriter, but it pushed me ... MORE

Pic from Northport/East Northport NY Public Libraries - not my library :(
I work at a public library, and I've had good luck finding and reserving weird, wonderful and backlist CDs. Sometimes the inserts have not even been stolen yet! I like listening to a whole album by someone new to me, rather than just downloading a few tracks. Which good titles have you found at your library?
Here are some of my finds this year. It begs the question of why I didn't own any of t... MORE

August posted a Television song that made me think of The Cramps, but in slow motion. And can you believe that he's only heard two Cramp songs???? ;P
So, here are a couple of videos for one of our newest, and already loved, moggers. I may make EMCD status yet. :)
This one is "Human Fly" - which is a strange song that I think you'll appreciate:
But, this one is easily my favorite Cramps song. I've probably made a number of people laugh while singing and ... MORE

I enjoy The Cramps anytime of year but particularly around Halloween. I love the sheer irreverance of their stage presence and also that they have band members named Lux Interior and Poison Ivy. I had the chance to experience them live (because you don't just "see" a band like The Cramps ... it is an experience) and left the club grinning from ear to ear. If you don't know them or you haven't listened to their stuff in a while, now is the perfect time to acquaint or reacqu... MORE
I guess there really is somebody for everybody...

There is just so much to say about The Cramps and I’m not sure to start… there is their; embrace of the trash/low culture image and media, from forgotten primitive rock and roll to the illusion to 50’s films and Hollywood, to their howling mad antics, The Cramps have been one of the corner stones of what horror punk has become. They have also been responsible for the rediscovery of many great songs, in fact I would say that my favorite Cramps albums are not even by the Cramps... MORE
