Rusted Shit: Hot Sex Finally have something on vinyl from this Houston, Texas noise rock group. Comes with a live DVD-R which I thought was going to be something pornographic (maybe the cover art made me think that) but the performance did have a stripper on stage mid-set. But that set did have an extra guitarist and saxophone, and better than the record, especially considering live shows for this band are as rare as hen's teeth...

Bloodrock: USA Well I can now say I have all the Bloodrock I really need, the only real letdown being the live 2 record set (just doesn't capture whatever they might've been like live) and of course one of their two last ones (bad prog-rock, really.) Of course if the first was lingering late-psych acid rock, and the second schizophrenic (not sure if they wanted to be commercial or stay sick, but does have "DOA"), the third they started to get into political/social-commentary ("America" being a particularly odd way to end an album.) But this one is one really bad trip through post-Woodstock/Altamont America. Like Black Sabbath there's references to Satan but here it's used more metaphorically -- pointing out the loss of a moral compass and the excess that ultimately doomed the Flower Children. Bloodrock saw the hippy sellout in '71, before anybody else did...

What else?

Blue Oyster Cult, Patti Smith...
