The Process of Weeding Out - mind blown

[jonzr]

Wow.  Free jazz from Black Flag, the grand daddy of hardcore punk?  Who knew?  Great stuff man.  Punk jazz?  Pazz?  Junk?  WTF?  Find it and listen to it.

From the Wikipedia entry

The back cover has a quote from guitarist Greg Ginn, reading:

The revolution will probably be televised. But I don't have a TV and I'm not gonna watch. With talk of rating records and increased censorship it may be getting difficult for some to speak their minds. Black Flag already has enough problems with censorship coming from the business sector. Some record stores have refused to stock and/or display Black Flag records because of objectionable cover art or lyrical content. Now, with additional government involvement, the "crunch" is on. Hope does lie in the fact that fortunately these straight pigs show little ability in decoding intuitive data. For example, even though this record may communicate certain feelings, emotions, and ideas to some, I have faith that cop-types with their strictly linear minds and stick-to-the-rules mentality don't have the ability to decipher the intuitive contents of this record. Of course, there may be a problem in that much of the public, most of whom comply with the whole idea of hiring the pigs in the first place, seem equally unable to intuitively feel and listen to music. Still here it is, "The Process of Weeding Out".

I have a bunch of Black Flag vinyl but never got that one.

I wasn't really into punk back when all of that was relevant but do like it now.  My musical taste in the early 80's was limited, it was sad.  The thing about The Process of Weeding Out is after listening to My War and Slip It In, I did not see it coming.

Jonzr told me last week, he was a big fan of marshall tucker on 8 track.

Not exclusively.  Also 38 Special, Blackfoot, Skynyrd, the Outlaws, and Cher.  Jonzr loves him some Cher.  Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves.

Not so fast.  I never liked that whore after she hurt Sonny.

More of a Bette Midler guy :rosie:

BTW, Process of Weeding Out is under $4 as a digital download at Amazon and iTunes, if anyone's interested.

And what hurt Sonny was a tree.

Oh that's right, I thought John Denver crashed into him with an airplane.
