Fuck, its been incredible hot here in Sweden. It nearly drives me mad har har. As you might guess, sitting inside and blogging isn’t my favorite thing to do while the sun is shining but right now I have some time off and the clouds are here again.

Is there anyone out there who didn’t drop his/her jaw when first hearing this? I first heard it on the New York Thrash comp. tape released by Roir. Took some time before I got hear the almost equally great Eyeball. Yeah, Erich at Good Bad Music have posted this too and his rips are in higher quality but here you get all the scans as well. This records NEEDS to be posted everywhere. Wonder what happened to that old The Mad member who was around here posting some comments when the Fried Egg 7inch was uploaded.

One good thing happened today: we celebrated the swedish national day today so I was free from work. The bad thing is that one of the oldest punk rockers in Sweden have died: Povel Ramel. He passed away just 85 years old. A shame! No one have mastered the swedish language in such an amusing way he did.

So what now? Well, I just have to fill a request for one of the most dedicated commentators here namely Tony. Here it is sweetheart. The second and last 7inch from Kippans Noise. Stopp! is very typical sounding swedish punkypowerpop with a hint of some backbeat guitars thrown in. The real treat is the b-sides Rudolf. Could just as well been on their debut. Great swedish punk that you’ve probably learn to love now if you didn’t before.

I don’t know how well this reissue compares to the original. Sounds good to my ears even if it happened too many times that reissues or boots don’t come close to the original. Kill The Bee Gees is a good but not great track. A bit too long for my taste. I like it most cause of the line:”Kill the Bee Gees right now.” that’s punk ain’t it? True Detective is quiet boring powerpopishpunker without the hooks.

Did you read the story about how this one ended up on Kurt Blochs No Threes Records? “They asked Kurt if they could release a single on ‘his label’. He tried to explain to them that it wasn’t really a label to begin with, and that nothing had been released at that point.”
