First albums

[D.o.S.]

Wouldn't it be like getting someone pregnant cause there's an eruption and permanent (devastating) consequences?

In context I'm going to go with no but I appreciate the effort.

I remember my first cassette was Chumbawamba - Tubthumper (I sincerely wish I still had this). Not my first CD (can't remember) but one I still have and remember going to Trump Tower / Tower Records (my has the world changed) for was WHITE ZOMBIE - La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1 (Still have it, still rock it, still awesome, wish I had a T-Shirt). First vinyl was an inherited single of IRON MAIDEN - Run To The Hills (no explanation necessary).

Actually, from the trajectory of my first cassette, my first illegal download was a parody of Tubthumping amidst the Bill Clinton sex scandal...I honestly think this was before Napster but I could be wrong.

...the late 90's were a weird time to be an adolescent...

I do love that Chumbawumba were an entirely principled anarcho-punk band who will forever be linked to that song.

My Mom and brother hated all the other songs on that tape. I remember thinking, "I kind of like it..."

There was another tape my Mom played in the car with a guy who would talk and sing about lightning. I don't think it was an educational tape but like a Phil Elverum-esq thing where the guy talked (and sang/and both) about his feelings for lightning. Have never found it, pretty sure repressed memories would resurface if I did. Wouldn't even know where to start if I wanted to find it (I don't)

Casette: Blaze of Glory
CD: Iron Maiden, the Evil That Men Do, 10th anniversary single thing.
CD (first full album): Poison - Flesh and Blood. Which has always pissed me off because I remember asking the dude in the shop what was playing and he said it was that album. Got home and the song I wanted to hear wasn't on there. But I was still happy with having bought a CD so I didn't dare to take it back. I later found out thanks to music tv that it was Slave to the Grind. Which is about a million years better than Flesh and Blood. Unskinny Bop was and is a righteous party jam though.

Ew.

I'm going to take this in a different direction and suggest 'fuck like a volcano' means it 'needs' to happen. We 'need' to procreate and part of Earth's life cycle entails a volcanic eruption. It 'needs' to happen. Yellow Stone is long over due.

This reminded me that I've been meaning to revisit that Julia LP for the longest time now. I have it laying around somewhere but thanks for the reminder.

Ew.

Guys, don't forget in 2012 VH1 ranked them at #1 on their list of the "Top 5 Hair Bands of the '80s.

But seriously, not even old curmudgeons like you can fail to appreciate how good Slave to the Grind is.
The CD I thought I was buying...

[D.o.S.]

Only know the title track which is pretty all right.

Unskinny Bop is infinitely better if you think of it as "Unskinny Bob"

It's pretty different from the aforementioned 7", but really, really solid. It's almost certainly better than Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em.
