The Song of the Week (39): Brainless (Deadbeats) + Lexicon Devil (Germs) + Joe McCarthy's Ghost (Minutemen)

I have not really been able to choose this week and, so, here are three three groups of songs instead of one (this words, any cumulative, that's just five minutes ...): the brilliant "brainless" for Deadbeats, a tube of Germs punk and ten seconds of the best in the history of rock by the Minutemen. At the same time, there is consistency: it is not so much a group that I put in the spotlight this time around, but the California punk scene of the late 1970s - which, incidentally, I will devote entirely my next show on Radio Canut, Tuesday 8, from 17h to 18h. So as to highlight to announce this special at the time three of my favorite bands of that era and diversity of this scene:

First "Brainless" Deadbeats of: extract from the album "Kill the Hippies" (whose title track is to add the file of the tussle between punks and hippies), released on Dangerhouse record label missed in 1978. This is a piece completely blocked one of the most original of this scene (and, oddly, not better known than that). Both disturbed and enjoyable ... If you do not know, to discover urgently!

"Lexicon Devil" of Germs: a lead track groups The most famous of that era, "Lexicon Devil" is a hit with his punk riff unstoppable early and pop tunes sloppy and poorly polished What sometimes the best songs in the genre. For the record, the guitar sound here is so powerful due to the fact that Pat Smear has not, at the time, amp; he would have his guitar plugged directly into the mixer, with a few pedals effects ... This is the title of a major three titles out, too, in 1978, Slash Records label on the blow it.

"Joe McCarthy's ghost "Minutemen : extract of EP (6 tracks) Paranoid Time, released in 1980 on SST Records (famous label formed by members of the group Black Flag in which this disc is the 2nd Production). Perhaps the primal shortest I've ever posted on this site, just a minute. It starts strangely: bass, guitar and a sort of spoken work (referring, of course, the infamous episode of McCarthyism), and then there are those last ten seconds ... It goes super fast, you wonder if you dreamed it, but what a slap! Perhaps the best ten seconds of the entire history of punk ... Yeah, no less. So this song lasts maybe a minute but when I listen to it in loops.
