BEST REASON TO WRITE A FUCKINâ CASSETTE COMPILATION REVIEW AND DRIVE TO BAYONNE TODAY:Â
Serious Rockers - An Unblinking Ear Mixtape +  3/7/15 SERIOUS ROCKERS RECORD RELEASE SHOW: NEW JERSEY EDITION!
LET THEM BRUSH YOUR ROCK & ROLL HAIR! Canât imagine thereâs more than a handful of selectaz who could pull something like this off with the aplomb of Paul Bruno. His Unblinking Ear podcast has been a reliable source of one of Fuckinâ Record Reviewsâ favorite talk-over music beds (RZAâs âSamurai Showdownâ instrumental) for years and yeah, he plays some pretty good tunes too. Â Really though, the manâs outdone himself here: collating 28 entries of sawed off cream pop and contemporary agit rock that practically signals the arrival of a new era we never knew we needed.
Some patronsâll no doubt be hooked by the he-man Termbo erotica of Golden Pelicans, Life Stinks, and Heavy Times, but the compâs center of gravity is the attention Paul gives  unfettered great plains pop, as if the Embarrassment and Absolute Grey were more than just names to look up at All Music Guide (remember that?). Fer instance, I canât imagine any card carrying total punk ginos sticking around for more than 20 seconds of Mike Pace and the Child Actorsâ opener âEveryone Out Of The Carâ (crazy good) or Invisible Daysâ âIn Your Sleepâ (dreamy good), but Paul is obviously made of better stuff than most. His ecumenical vision of pop supremacy totally wins and weâll spend the next two months (at least) following the leads Serious Rockers offers. Itâs like a Tuatara or Wailing Ultimate for 2015. Â
Fuckinâ Record Reviews had the good fortune and sense to be present at the 2/7/15 Serious Rockers  showcase with Invisible Days, Big Quiet, Snowmans Of Love, Scupper and FRR faves Lame Drivers (from whom we received a nice pen), but that was then and this is nowâŚ
TONIGHT 3/7/15 SERIOUS ROCKERS RECORD RELEASE SHOW: NEW JERSEY EDITION!
If you always figured Bayonne was a Weird New Jersey myth-to-drive-by on your way to the Princeton Record Exchange, then hereâs a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to realign your thinking, gas up and greet the townâs indigenous tribes. Or, as Paul writes, âCome for the cheap gas and cigarettes. Stay for the live music and buy some tapes.â
One major highlight is certain to be a rare sighting of 12xurecs artist Carolee, whose 2011 splatter cracked EP1 was totally fuckinâ awesome. PLUS: Â Â
