AFS v. 208 ~ Lynott Bumps in the Night


Sorry...gonna hafta put off flipping that Post-Alarmist Dracula Safari over for another week; after speeding over here from my office, I didn't have the time to prepare a proper spotlight segment. Sorry also for the technical difficulty with that "Thin Lizzy" record. Either that, or it was the ghost of Phil Lynott swooping down to foul everything up. Sorry, Phil. Go haunt Scott Gorham instead. I am really glad that I was able to get that record on the airwaves after all, though. It's truly a hilarious glimpse at ex-rockstars at their wartiest! War, Stillers! War, heroin and sluts! War, me warring on AFS! See you next week, clones!!!

One more thing: Please excuse my mis-announcing of the Noah's Ark Was a Spaceship song! The KDVS copy of that split 7" with The Yuppies has reversed inner labels. I could hardly believe my ears when I heard the song and thought "Jeez...those Yuppies really changed their style!" You'll definitely be hearing more from both of these young and precocious Nebraska bands.

I just fell off my chair laughing. How can I get my own Boulder/Thin Lizzy split 7"?

It might just come down to a stroke of dumb luck. I know it was very limited when it was new. At the time, I was snatching up just about every degenerate DIY metal 7" that came outta Northeast Ohio. At least...every one I could find. A few of those Sloth records fell through the cracks, though. I wish I could give you a brighter prognosis, but troll eBay for a while, I guess. Good luck!

The record is maybe worth up to $20 in novelty value for this inner label, the hackjob of a Thin Lizzy logo stencil, and the shamefulness of the "Thin Lizzy" interview. But on the Boulder side, there's also a really wild Venom cover which certainly adds to the fun.

It's nothing mindblowing, but certainly a superb joke record approaching the order of the Hickey/Voodoo Glow Skulls split.
