Shank-O's: Shank-O-Vision

The Shank-O's were a band that I came across while I was booking shows. They played a great set for me at Jefferson Street. As far as I know this is the only album they recorded. I'd love to hear the full story of what happened to them.

Album Review.

Painkiller: Buried Secrets

Painkiller's Buried Secrets was suggested to me one day at my favorite record store. It was my first introduction to John Zorn's work. This particular John Zorn project features Bill Laswell on bass guitar and Mick Harris on drums. This album also features Justin Broadrick and G. C. Green from Godflesh. The album is out of print but is available in the Collected Works box set.

Russian Red: I Love Your Glasses

Russian Red is the stage name of Spanish singer-songwriter Lourdes Hernandez, who sings in English. I love Your Glasses is her debut album, and it is just great. Twelve songs including a Cyndi Lauper cover to close out the album.
