Staff Pick of the Week

Every week we here at Repo like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. This week's pick is.....


Leona Anderson - Music to Suffer By
(Trunk Records)



Leona Anderson recorded this little diddy in 1958 with a full backing orchestra and well, "Music to Suffer By" is honestly bad. period. There's something to be said about things that are awesomely bad. From Plan 9 to Street fighter there's something amazingly alluring and too honestly comical about these works. And so "Music To Suffer By" would fit in nicely along any bad B-Horror Movie. If you could round up every little thing that makes music horrid and you put them together you would have this. From consistently off key singing to eerie, spacey and uninteresting musical composition this album, truly, has it all. But still, there is a charm here. Charm and something else that's gonna make you giggle with your friends.



Imagine sitting in a car with your friends and you put this on?

Staff Pick of the Week!

Underworld - Barking
(Om Records)


You ever just wanna dance? Not the kind of dance where you're trying to impress someone but rather just move around and feel great. You just kinda close your eyes and start moving around, arms lifting and swaying to the beat. You feel comfortable and at the same time full of energy that you need use up. You should put this on.

Off The Wall
(Past & Present)



An amazing collection of mid to late 60 garage rock/punk that was originally released in the 80's. If you're a fan of the Seeds, Paul Revere and the raiders or any of the other late 60's garage rock masters this is something to check out. Filled with Nuggets-esque samples of small time acts such as the E-T Types and The Opposite Six the whole album has a good variety in the selection. The songs selected make the whole album Garage Rock! but never manage to become boring or sounding like everyone is copying each other. This is partly because the songs range from The Grains of Sand's almost Folk-ish "She needs me"to the Drones spacey "I'm Down Today". It never really feels repetitive. So good, so good.



Also it's only limited to 500 copies so get'em while they're still around!
