It REALLY is time for another post. What to do when I don’t feel like writing? Yes, that’s right I can write something about not wanting to write anything which in the end turns out to be some material for the post. Thank you I’m a genius. And it’s not the first time I do it. Is it becoming a routine? Maybe. Maybe not. Let’s see what the future brings. I think this record is great. Why? Do you want me to put words to my taste? Forget it. If you like it fine if not that’s fine too. Everything is fine! It’s punk. You can think whatever you want. Here’s Inserts from Texas.

Inserts – S/T E.P. 7″
Saturday, January 10th, 2009Zeppo and The Zepp-Zepps – Ode To Johnny Rotten 7″
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
This record has the oh-so-classic story behind it that we all know so well, but I’ll tell it anyway. In 1977 a popular Swedish musician goes to London and sees the Sex Pistols perform which makes him wanna play punk. He writes a few songs in that direction on his own, but don’t record anything. Later the same year he goes to Iceland on vacation, but instead of traveling around on the island he gets an offer to go into a studio and record a few tunes. He accepts the offer and records the song Ode to Johnny Rotten, and at the same time he changes his moniker from Harpo to Zeppo.
When he gets back to Sweden he spends hours and hours on writing the lyrics to I’m so bored, and when he’s finally done he records that song as well. He starts his own label and in January 1978 he releases his only record as Zeppo & the Zepp-Zepps. Probably without too much trouble the record gets distributed by EMI and therefore sells quite well. Many years later it turns out that the record was the second punk record ever released in Sweden, but by then Harpo/ Zeppo has given up on music and is breeding horses, who occasionally kicks him in the head, instead.
If you’re like us here at kbdrecords, just press stop after 2 minutes and you won’t have to hear the chorus until your ears fall off.

Best of 2008
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009I’ve seen many “best of 2008″ lists on other blogs and as usually I don’t find anything I agree with. That has of course to do with that I’m a cranky bastard. So what new stuff did rock me in 2008? There’s one LP/CD that I’ve played over and over again: The Futureheads – This Is Not The World. I wish I did that album. Almost perfect from start to finish. Here’s just one example to show you the brilliance of this band. Rehearsal footage when they do Broke Up The Time:
2. Jay Reatard – Blood Visions LP/CD released in 2007 but reached me in 2008.
3. Career Suicide – Cherry Beach 7″
4. Brutal Knights – My Life, My Fault 7″
5. Adele – Chasing Pavements no other song have given me so many goose bumps in 2008.
The list ends here. Can’t think of anything else so now it’s up to you to bitch and moan about what I’ve missed.
The Panics – Test Test 7″
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009
I posted the first killer 7″ of Floridas Panics a month ago or so. Here’s their second which is equally great if not better concerning I’m A Fan is a tune that will be spun in the background when the punx are overthrowing the government and install Wattie as their CEO. I know what you’ll think when listening to it: WHY THE HELL haven’t anyone let me hear this before? Well that’s why I’m here. Here you go the first post of 2009 on Kanacken(great word that not many swedes use these days) Bankar Degos Records.
