Eddie & The Subtitles - Skeletons In The ClosetIt's 1980 in Orange County, California, and PUNK ROCK has been scorching the 'burbs for a few years. Eddie Joseph has been on the Southern California scene the entire time, plotting his poisonous rock'n'roll maneuvers since the mid 1960s when he began playing in garage bands. Eddie had been honing his skills on roots music and swinging teenbeat well in advance of his foray into a new, seedy, violent punk blitzkrieg. There's a master plan at work here,

It's 1980 in Orange County, California, and PUNK ROCK has been scorching the 'burbs for a few years. Eddie Joseph has been on the Southern California scene the entire time, plotting his poisonous rock'n'roll maneuvers since the mid 1960s when he began playing in garage bands. Eddie had been honing his skills on roots music and swinging teenbeat well in advance of his foray into a new, seedy, violent punk blitzkrieg. There's a master plan at work here, and it involves select players depending on which direction Eddie needs to bleed out of his system. The recruitment of Mike Patton and Matt Simon of OC legends THE MIDDLE CLASS get Eddie and the Subtitles rolling for a slew of shows with comrades BLACK FLAG, ADOLESCENTS, CIRCLE JERKS and every other degenerate crew in the radius. A DIY imprint called No Label Records is formed (with literally NO LABELS on the vinyl!) and the first single 'Fuck You Eddie!' is unleashed. Recorded in Fullerton by Jon St. James at his legendary Casbah studio (THE VANDALS, SOCIAL DISTORTION, BERLIN), these sessions also yielded a handful of tracks that would appear on the exceedingly rare 'Skeletons In The Closet' LP (No Label Records, 1981). 'Zombie Drug Killers,' 'No Virgins In Hollywood,' and 'American Society' (the short fast loud version covered by L7) appear here as the opening trio on this newly re-sequenced reissue. Geza X is also on board to produce a handful of tracks with peripheral Subtitles including Nicky Beat (GERMS, WEIRDOS) among the sessions' players. The results here are another manifestation of Eddie's one true love. Even as a punk allegiant, songwriting, sound and style are the priority. The dusted and dark goth-pop of 'Magic' and 'Stream of Consciousness' are crucial to the plot, setting a unique tone that works in a sea of one-dimensional scene releases, taking full advantage of Geza's synth-mimicking microtonal guitar techniques. A tribute to Dave Dacron, chief miscreant of Dangerhouse Records' RHINO 39 is also set to tape as consolation to X, as Dacron's 16 year old life was tragically cut short in an automobile accident in 1980. But the party rocks on with covers of 'Louie Louie' (also appearing on the elusive 'Fuck You Eddie!' single) and 'We Gotta Get Out of This Place,' as a testament to Eddie's obsession with the timeless now-sounds of his delinquent adolescence. Friends and fellow freaks Jon Blair (of surf cats Jon and the Nightriders) and Bobby Paine (later of rockabilly hepsters The Paine Brothers) lend their own song-smithery for four more originals: 'Boppin' Little Bobcat, 'Treat me Right,' 'Gina' (covered in 1984 by Josie Cotton and again in '89 by Stray Cats) and 'Your Head's In The Right Place,' respectively. 'Skeletons In The Closet' remains an unusual and rare artifact in the ashtray world of punk, DIY and outsider music, and Slovenly Recordings is blasted to present it to the world one more time. Tracklist:: Zombie Drug Killers, No Virgins In Hollywood, American Society, Boppin' Little Bobcat, Gina, Magic, Stream of Consciousness, We Gotta Get Out of This Place, Louie, Louie, Movin' On, Child Sin, Dave Dacron, Treat Me Right, Your Head's In The Right Place, American Society

My Dog Loved It—Until It Stopped Working
Size: Large, Color: Ball-Red
I purchased this treat-dispensing dog toy for my German Shepherd, and for the first couple of days it worked exactly as advertised. When rolled or tossed, it made an engaging sound that immediately caught my dog’s attention and encouraged him to interact with the toy to get the treats out. He absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, after only a few days, the sound feature stopped working. Then it mysteriously started working again for a short period, so I thought the issue had resolved itself. However, it has now stopped completely. No matter how much I shake, roll, or toss the toy, it no longer makes any sound. I went out of town and didn’t realize the return window had passed while I was gone. By the time I returned, the return deadline had already expired, which was disappointing because I would have returned it when the problem first appeared. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend purchasing this toy. While many of the reviews seem positive, perhaps I received a defective unit. It’s disappointing that it stopped functioning properly after barely a month of use. That said, my dog genuinely enjoyed it when it was working, and I would appreciate it if the manufacturer would stand behind their product and offer a replacement as a courtesy. I would be happy to return the defective toy. If a replacement performed as intended, I would gladly reconsider my opinion. For now, however, I am very disappointed with the functionality and reliability of this product.

The Only Thing He Hasn't TOTALLY Destroyed
Size: Large, Color: Ball-Blue
I've spent my hard earned money on SOOOO many "indestructible " toys. This one is actually pretty good. It has a duck sound inside for when the pet rolls the ball to get the treats. I didn't use it for the treats. I gave this toy 4-stars because my dog broke the sound box while chewing it. We pulled the pieces out and he LOVES it. Great for play,and comfort. Sometimes, he sleeps with it. I guess you could say it's his favorite 😍.
