093 The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground...

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/06/04

The eponymous third aka Grey Album from 1969 began the second half of the VU's run - the forgotten half - when they were an actual touring rock and roll band trying to pop big. No Warhol, no New York City and no John Cale. A deep track dynamo without the literal AND figurative feedback of the past. Lou's older brother Roy shows up though.

092 Amanaz - Africa (1975)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/05/28

Back to Zamrock with Amanaz (Ask me about nice artistes in Zambia). The group only made one album - 1975's Africa - but that's all that is needed to ingest the 'One Zambia, one nation, three chords' spirit.

091 Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti (1975)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/05/21

Led Zeppelin return from the meadows of Bron-Yr-Aur, shave the beards and begin another three album run that would lead them to the top of King Shit Mountain. They would get one last look from its peak with Physical Graffiti - a deep track orgy that showcases Zep at full creative mast.

090 Missing Persons - Spring Session M (1982)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/05/14

A new wave band made up of musically-gifted members of Frank Zappa's backing band, Missing Persons dropped a solid debut in 1982 that's kind of a paradox - loose music made by the tightest of musicians. Oh, and they also had a singer that nailed Prince.

089 Mudhoney - Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge (1991)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/05/07

The same year their Seattle cohorts made flannel globally sexy Mudhoney stayed local and loyal to their friends at Sub Pop and released Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge - an unrelenting pounder that sounds the beating heart of the Grunge Hunx Dynasty.

088 Pino D'Angiò - Balla! (1981)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/04/29

Disco was becoming played out in America at the start of the 1980's but it was just getting started in Italy. Pino D'Angiò landed a YMCA-level Italian hit with the song Ma Quale Idea in 1980. The following year he unleashed the full Power of Pino with his debut LP Balla! This is Italo-Disco at it's Satanic best.

087 Wall of Voodoo - Call of the West (1982)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/04/23

WoV was way too loose with the drizzugs to build any sort of career sustainability - but they managed to uncork the forgotten classic Call of the West along the way - angular art rock that cuts through the collective 1982 whoosh of parachute pants.

086 Ghetto Brothers - Power Fuerza (1972)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/04/15

The Ghetto Brothers were one of thousands of street gangs that skulked the busted-ass neighborhoods of the Bronx in leather vests during the 1970's. I think they are the only one that formed a band though. Power Fuerza is the lone musical relic left behind by the good-guy gang known as the GB's.

085 Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In (1986)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/04/09

Hair Hunk Titans Poison fought their way thru pubic lice and a universally-perceived lack of talent to crank out their debut - Look What the Cat Dragged In - an overachieving classic squeezed into a 1986 already overstuffed with guitars, drums and spandex pant.

084 Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River (1969)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/04/01

The USA was on fire in 1969 with Vietnam War protests and such. Everyone had a voice and wanted to be heard. But they also wanted to be SEEN. It was a flashy year of afros, flower power, bouncy boob-curtains and bush. The last year of the sixties was an eccentric one - and it was largely soundtracked by the four average Americans of Creedence Clearwater Revival. CCR dropped three in 1969 and Green River gets the gold star on it's forehead. Roots rock classic for your face.

083 Various Artists - Ayo Ke Disco: Boogie, Pop &...

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/03/26

During the 1970's while China and Vietnam were busy playing grab-ass and keep-away with the Spratly and Percocet island chains in the South China Sea, the other countries surrounding the water like Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia funk'd their way into the next decade. Ayo Ke Disco, curated by Alice from Soundway Records, provides us safe listening passage thru this fantastic sea of sound.

082 LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem (2005)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/03/19

LCD Soundsystem is an exhaustive one-hundred minute affair that showcases the best of what the combination of rock and dance music can become when crafted by the hands of an erudite music nerd. LCD eponymous - the start of a relatively flawless catalog that continues into the now.

081 Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads and Trail...

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/03/11

Marty Robbins' cinematic western music classic was released at the end of a decade that would soon be overshadowed by the one that followed. JFK was about to be President, the Beatles were about to form, but for now in 1959, we have Marty Robbins singing songs about other men. And horses.

080 Woods - City Sun Eater in the River of Light (2016)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/03/05

So few bands remain that were born during the post-MTV, pre-streaming and social media purgatorial zone of the mid-aughts. Woods are still with us. And despite having one significant kink in their curb appeal, they bring twenty years of codeine-dipped freak folk and high-value return to the listener's ears. City Sun Eater in the River of Light is my favorite of their hot dozen.

079 Various Artists - A Tribute to Bob Dylan in the...

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/02/26

The 1980s proved that as big as forty-something millionaire cultural icon Bob Dylan was during the decade, he was not bigger than the ever-evolving and fickle world of rock and roll. ATO Records' A Tribute to Bob Dylan in the 80s contains seventeen covers of songs from Bob's least-celebrated decade.

078 Dum Dum Girls - Too True (2014)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/02/18

Myself, my dad and the Canseco Twins neutralize Dee Dee's annoying production duo so that she can crank out a classic without interference. Too True is the final (boo) and best (yay) Dum Dum Girls album. A catchy atmospheric finale to a five-year run powered by good ol' work ethic.

077 The Grateful Dead - Europe '72 (1972 Live)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/02/11

Exclusion was a word rarely used in Grateful Dead world - so in April 1972 when it came time to decide who was and who wasn't joining the band for their spring tour of Europe the answer was simple - 'Everyone goes.' So off to Europe the extended Grateful Dead family went - forty-plus posse of band members, family, friends, the New Riders and even an LSD chemist named Bear. The triple-LP live album Europe '72 was released to recoup the expenses of this European vacation that Warner

076 Pixies - Surfer Rosa (1988)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/02/05

Pixies (there's no the 'The') started their ascent into alt-rock wonderhood with Surfer Rosa. No album from the 1980s had a greater influence on the rock sound of the 1990s than this record. Good start Pixies. Nice work.

075 Lord Huron - Strange Trails (2015)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/01/29

The men who make Mangina Music suffer for us. They play with soft hands for our hard hearts - and we need to give thanks. Lord Huron's Strange Trails is a sprawling hallucinatory masterpiece that I'm pretty sure is way more popular than I think it is. It's also long and emotional - they're gonna need some assistance from the Canseco twins.

074 Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (1971)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/01/22

Several years before Parliament Funkadelic grew into a multi-banded gang of diaper daddies traveling around the country in a crack-fueled spaceship, there was Maggot Brain - a standalone gift of collective imagination and a sonic pillar of the early-1970's Lori Lightfoot Era of American black music.
