More Fun

We begin Side 1 of the Accused's third album MORE FUN THAN AN OPEN CASKET FUNERAL, with their sterling cover of Alice Cooper's Halo of Flies.  Here's a curious fanvid from Evil Dead:

Note:  my blog Crossover Vinyl will never, ever post a video from YT that has an advertisement clip at the beginning.  It goes against the whole spirit of being a punk the way I see it. So if it ever happens, it's clearly a mistake, I've gone completely out of my mind, or the sub-automated drones have finally taken complete possession of me.   

This is the sort of crossover punk metal hybrid that I can really get into.  As we delve deeper alphabetically into my stack o' punk and associated albums on wax, we'll find ourselves on a dizzying journey of what good old fashioned underground music used to be.  I grew up in the late 70s on hard rock bands like Aerosmith and Sabbath and Maiden and Led Zeppelin.  Pink Floyd was my favorite because their music was such a head trip.  

I got into all those bands super young, but my first live show wasn't until I turned seventeen.  That was at Barton Coliseum, in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1982.  The band was RUSH and they were on their second leg of the Moving Pictures tour, the Spring Training leg.  I've seen the legendary Canadian rockers sixteen times since then, and consider them the appropriate receptors of the wand & crown passed on down from Jimmy Page himself, but I digress.   

We're on the topic of crossover vinyl, which as we progress further should reveal the much wider variety of possibilities of musical exploration, since far-reaching forms of underground experimentation extend tendrils out to each other, forming layer upon layer a newly constructed form of musical entity borne of this cross pollination.   I'm sure I'll insert variants and offshoot posts suggested from my core punk collection.  

If I go off the beaten path here and start posting non - punk entries or go on a tangent, well that's just to be expected.  Rest assured, we'll return to the spinal cord of my punk vinyl collection to keep it all tied together.   You have stumbled upon a brand new Saturday vinyl punk blog where I'll be listening to my entire underground punk vinyl collection, and going off on it with random rants and YT videos posted.
