Mystic Sampler #1 – LP (1984)
Ah, memories. I bought this not too long after it came out and, while I didn’t exactly regard it as one of my favorite records at the time, I played it quite a bit during my mid to late teens and, suffice to say, it made something of an impression on me, despite myself. Lots of fun stuff on here, including about the only thing by The Minutemen I’ve ever been able to tolerate and a killer track by Kommunity FK, which is permanently etched on my brain until the day I die. Strangely enough, I never picked up any other Kommunity FK stuff from that era, so I need to ask if anyone is familiar with their discography and knows where I can give their early stuff a listen. The only other thing I have by them is the “Close One Sad Eye” LP. This LP also features an early version of “I Saw Your Mommy” by Suicidal Tendencies that blows away the one on their first LP. Actually, I never liked that song as it was popular with the fence-sitt…….. …..er…..um…..skater punks, never mind that the lyrics sound like they were written by a six year-old. Too bad he didn’t do “Possessed” or “I Want More” instead, but it’s still decent. Supposedly, it also got put out on a comp called “Slamulation”, but I’ve never come across it. Maybe it never came out?

I don’t think I’ve heard that ST demo. I own that 2nd KFK LP–I’ve had it for years. They used to have a video on MTV–anyone remember that?
YES!!!! thank you thank you pooper scooper! Well ain’t eye the vain one, figured you downloaded my rip since I see you around the DU blog. KFK: I love the awesome sense of ritual in the songs that make me deadpan and calm then I start to do the ‘rocker’s slow head nodding’…very jerky rocker motions–you know the M.O. :>}
Somebody once told me the lead singer did a pop 45 back in the 70′s–anybody know if that’s true or not? I guess it was the complete polar opposite of Kommunity FK, like “Honey, Honey, coco-puffs, love, love, love…..” or something stupid like that. Can’t seem to find that old video. It was in color, circa 1983 or 1984.
Is the track by Even Worse supposed to be a locked groove at the end with the looped dog barking?
Yep.
Yes, Patrick Mata(KFK) did a pop single back in ’79.The Queen Of Beverly Hills/ Shooka-Shooka Make Love. It’s great power pop. I have the single. I’ll try to rip it and post it here soon. http://www.discogs.com/Patrick-Mata-The-Queen-Of-Beverly-Hills/release/3052315
Thanks for the info.–I’ll be on the lookout for that one. Looks like good stuff.
What’s the bee up your butt about The Minute Men?
Nothing wrong with them–just never got into them.
I have the first (Vision & The Voice) release by Kommunity FK. I dig it lots. It’s a little rougher than the second one which is the one you own – Close One Sad Eye.
So…you come to Cleveland a few months ago…you sell and buy some records at a pal of mine’s store…but…you did not look me up for a beer!! And the store is located a handful of blocks from my house?
Dude? Shit!
Just giving you a hard time. I’ll upload and send you the link to that record before the weekend!
The blog continues to crack me up.
