Sucking the 70's January 2011

Ah, a new year and hopefully a new commitment to Perpetual Winter Productions.  My goal this year is to have some consistent release dates of projects (and actually getting them done ;-)).  I'm just going to set this one right now, and maybe they're be more later.  However, right now you come on over to PerpetualWinterBear.blogpsot.com on the 20th of every month and you will get the newest installment of Sucking the 70's (though I'd expect the Holiday Edition a little before the greenest holiday of the year).

Lots of good stuff in this show, and only really one fuck up I didn't go back and fix.  In the Part IV, I randomly decided to not mention the track name of the Beam Orchestra track... Well, it's Smoke Doper.  No more BS, here's your tracklisting:

It's Fuckin' December... Happy Holidays

Well, I’ve thought about doing this in the past. I’ll be the first to admit that I actually enjoy singing some Christmas carols. I grew up a singer, and some of the stuff is just outright fun to sing. Anyway, there is definitely LOADS of bad music out there regarding this season. However, there is some fun, funny, and decent shit out there as well. This show has a lot of that. I’m not going to pretend to be a “big fan” of every song, and I’m fairly certain there is going to be a song on here that nearly everyone will be like “What the fuck was he thinking including this crap?” 

This is a very manic show. I had a hard time coming up with a name for the show so I just went easy, and as anti-FCC as I could. So folks, It’s Fuckin’ December:

The Metal Observer's Top Albums of 2009

The Metal Observer's Top Albums of 2009

Top Albums of 2009 coming out in May, eh?  Well, I guess really it’s sort of like the now defunct Metal Maniacs.  You got their top albums from the previous year in March or April, so that’s just going to be my justification ;-).

Anyway, this really was a fun project.  In the past I’ve always had total control over what I played.  This time the only control I had was the song chosen from each album.  There is definitely some stuff that I did not check out last year.  I will say that I don’t think there is a bad album on this list, though some I would never consider list-worthy.  However, this is not my list, this is

The Rise of the Northern Outlaw

Download from Mediafire

Ten years ago I got my start in radio.  It wasn’t on a rock station, and it sure as hell wasn’t WUPX, it was “The Giant 92.3 WJPD,” at the time the most popular country station in the Upper Peninsula.  If there was some country event going on we were involved.  I was a board operator there for about 2 years, I did some live shifts and every now and then I filled in for my buddy/co-worker as the board operator for local “celebrity” Elmer Aho.  Most of the time though my job was running the board for sporting events, and, of course, you have the guy who ends up being polytheistic running the religious broadcasts on Sunday morning (I was atheist at the time).  It was an entertaining crew on Sunday mornings, myself running the religious broadcasts and playing Christian country between news broadcasts beforehand, and on the AM side was one of my absolute influences and mentors (though I don’t think he knows this) “Little” Danny Rozman, a very liberal atheist with the mouth of a trucker.  He would talk about how stupid our right wing content was and always rip on Dr. Whora Shitslinger.

Of course, the music was rarely up my alley, though a few pop country songs did stand out to me as they were just well written songs.  There were a couple songs that just drove me right up the wall though, I would go in and check the playlist and remove them if I saw them.  The first was John Michael Montgomery’s “The Little Girl” which asserted that a little girl’s parents were abusive BECAUSE they were non-believers.  What a load of shit, and one of the standard myths pushed by Christianity.  I will never have respect for that man after that song.  The other song was by a young “phenom” named Billy Gilman called “One Voice.”  Now this kid’s voice struck me right at the core and made me borderline homicidal.  Though Gilman’s career isn’t over, it is certain that puberty put a major slow on his record sales.

I didn’t really start digging heavily into the world of Outlaw Country until I started to drive truck.  Sure, I knew I enjoyed certain kinds of country, but I never took the time to get into it.  When I was a driver I had Sirius Satellite Radio (prior to the merger with XM, it was just in talks and I was heavily in support), though most of the time I listened to talk radio (Sports, Leftist, Playboy) when I did listen to music more often than not it was “Outlaw Country” and “The Vault.”  Strange that the metal station wouldn’t have even crept into the top 10 reasons I recommended satellite radio (though they have vastly improved its still just barely more than a glorified active rock station generally targeting the baggy pantsed trend crowd and playing the same stuff over and over to appease the old schoolers).  I discovered lots of great music and started adding a little to my collection.  Of course, Sirius/XM Outlaw Country doesn’t just play traditional country but include folk/rock, rockabilly, and some outright rock that really grabs the essence of the outlaw.  I find this format to be the best and that is the route I am taking on The Northern Outlaw.

Before I get to the track listing I want to point out some critiques I have of my own work on this one.  The first and most glaring to me is the forgetting of a line on the second voice track.  I mention the movie “Slither,” but fail to mention that the track “Baby I Love You” was the in the credits.  I could go back and fix it, but I’m just going to have to take close to a Lord Imperial stance on it and say it would take away from the essence of the show to fix that mistake.  Also the first couple of voice tracks my voice is shaky on.  I was recording those tracks at 2-3 am with vicious cotton mouth.  It’s noticeable, but again it’s just in the essence of the show to leave it.  Also, I call the Hellbound Glory song “Ballad of Scumbag Country” - “The Ballad of the Scumbag.”  Overall I don’t think anyone should be complaining about this setlist, if you like country something in here should appeal to you.  I’ll try to get one of these a month, but I’m not going to promise anything.   However, without further adieu this is:

Sucking the 70's - Holiday Edition 4/20

Mediafire 4:20

Once again that time is upon us.  The news is going to be covering the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing, the 11th anniversary of Columbine and ignoring that its Hitler’s Birthday.  However, all of those things around this date are irrelevant to the legions of connoisseurs of the green.    It is on the date of 4/20 each year when those folks just want to get catatonic and hang out with like minds.  Well, here’s a soundtrack for your 4 O’clock hour (start it at 4 and the 4:20 smokedown is perfect).  Stoner Rock/70’s rock is without a doubt some of the best smoking music, and I threw in some killer tracks for this special Holiday Edition of Sucking the 70’s:
