LUX & IVY’S FAVORITES
I can’t recommend these FREE DOWNLOADS too highly!*
Here’s the link;
Even though Atomic Boogie Radio has bombed, I am still trying to find a way to shove weird (but great!) music down your throat.
When my family was celebrating Easter, I mentioned to my niece’s fiancé that I was starting my vacation, and wished I could find some big, lavish boxed set of CDs to listen to on my two weeks off. Josh (that’s his name) suggested I download LUX & IVY’S FAVORITES (which I hadn’t heard of) off the internet. What a perfect suggestion!
Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorschach were the leaders of the great punk / garage rock / psycho-billy band The Cramps. (Lux died a few years back, doubly tragic because these two were obviously true soul mates.) It seemed they devoted their lives to collecting wild, ultra- obscure old rock ‘n’ roll records. They gave frequent, lengthy interviews and seemed to drop a record name and recommendation in practically every sentence.
Thank heavens some obsessive fan has tracked down practically every record they’ve mentioned in those interviews and complied them into a series of eleven downloadable collections.
If you love rock ‘n’ roll, you’ve gotta hear this stuff!
As The Cramps used to say, Stay Sick!!!
* Normally I wouldn’t say anything, but since this Blog is connected to a very G Rated comic strip, I guess I need to be an old fuddy duddy and mention that the collections do contain a couple (hilarious!) utterly filthy R&B songs – and NOT in the usual double entendre style – these can only be taken one way!
