ok. here's "to roads to go" the magic eye 7" single single that isaac brock released under his ugly casanova moniker. i think the original idea was that there would be a bunch of home recorded singles every so often. instead we got a nicely recorded full album a few years later. there's also "too many fiestas for rueben" which he recorded during the "lonesome crowded west" sessions but never released as far as i know, but it's easy to find if you look. from what i remember it's john atkins from 764-hero accompanying isaac on the stomps.

pond "spokes" (from the album "rock collection") another 99¢ bin special. there's a sticker on the cover that reads " featuring 'spokes'" like anyone actually heard the song on the radio (were talking the late 90's). BUT were the world just, they would have.. the bass player in pond uses a slide on a lot of songs, which i have yet to see anyone else do.

dave, dee, dozy, beaky, mick & tich "bend it" (from the album "ddbm&t") remember the part in "death proof" where the first set of girls are in the car, and the dj girl wants to hear ddbm&t and the others haven't heard of them and she says something about pete townsend being offered a spot in the band but instead he chose to go with the who, and that being the wrong decision. then they play their song "hold tight" and it's a great song and you think to yourself, yeah that's a great song, he probably did make the wrong decision. well, having gone through a few of their albums, pete townsend for sure made the right decision. they ain't so good. still, there is one other worthwhile song in their catalogue that i came across.

mungo jerry "she rowed" (from the album "electronically tested") there was all that talk about early davendra banhart sounding like tyrannosaurus rex era marc bolan. i'd like to throw mungo jerry into the discussion. also, somewhere in a parallel universe that snl "more cowbell" skit is mungo jerry instead of blue oyster cult, and the punchline is "more kazoo" instead of "more cowbell". there's an awful lot of kazoo on their album. but not this song thankfully. and by that i don't mean there isn't any kazoo, cause of course there's some kazoo, just not too much kazoo

pantera "new level" (from the album "vulgar display of power") who knew that it was chronic back pain causing all that anger, and not society. just goes to show that you should get to know a person before you make judgements.
