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.....

Blues Creation - Demon & Eleven Children
(Bamboo)




What ever your opinions of their later works under Creation it's hard to deny that Blues Creation's "Demon & Eleven Children" is an amazing display of early heavy metal brilliance. Originally released in 1971 and hailed as one some of the best early psychedelic rock. There are times when listening to this you will feel like there are rocks pouring out of your speakers. Every song is filled with those bluesy riffs that made heavy metal so great. The parts where they jam out and get freaky are really what this album is all about, just letting go and having the music seep into your brain. And I don't know what it is about Japanese dudes singing in English about Mississippi like it's so great but, it's fantastic.



somewhere in the six minute area I just feel high.

Fun Website!

Hey dude! Check out this website!


The site claims to be "For fans of raunchy, wild rock'n'roll, old and new... garage, psych, punk, surf, rockabilly, soul, R&B, and lo-fi, primitive trash" and they're DAMN RIGHT! Great podcast mixed with fun message boards.

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.....

Black Ryder - Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride
(Mexican Summer)



Sometimes dreamy, sometimes shoe gaze-y Black Ryder creates songs that you can really get lost in. While writing this I stopped to give one song my undivided attention for a moment and ended up listening for another three tracks without being aware that anytime had passed. Part of this is due to the fact that every once in awhile you'll hear something that sounds familiar. What your hearing is Black Ryder paying homage to those that came before and inspired them. At times you'll hear Brian Jonestown Massacre, Oasis, Smog and others. And honestly, it's great.


Are you even aware that seven minutes just passed? In the amount of time it took to listen to this song 5,250,000 gallons of water fell over Niagara Falls.
