It’s Valentine’s Day 2022, a 20th anniversary for The Kills and a sweet memory for MusicFilter

Congratulations to Alison and Jamie “The Kills”. This news reminds of a poignant moment in MusicFilter history since The Kills first album “Keep On Your Mean Side” would become BMF’s very first album review on April 21, 2003 for his newly launched site. The Kills got their own “page” and their album was the first to make the new sidebar and we were so excited about it. This album will always remain a favorite and I imagine it contains those five songs.

Web technology has come a long way since 2003. We used to install a MP3 song sample and that was quite the process but we loved it so much. Now it’s just posting a link to get the whole deal. If you haven’t played this album a hundred times already … get ready:

True love is everlasting and never forgotten and this will serve as a sweet Valentine for me today. I’ll listen to these songs again and remember those days with you. Miss you madly.

Black Flag:Who’s Got The 10 1/2?

A BMF Review from February 3, 2016

This album did make BMF’s 28 Must Have Albums.

My favorite live album by far, this was recorded “on a starry night in Portland on August 23rf, 1985.”

This is punk rock in every sense of the word. The music and Henry’s volatile voice rage. The songs are perfectly played with on the spot improvising that are pure punk. Of course, the question, the album title, is the apex of the set during Slip it in and Gimme Gimme Gimme which is another favorite song on here, My War is awesome, Bastard in love, oh hell the whole album kicks ass! I wore this cassette out back in the day. Have it on cd too.

Other great snippets; ” Do you believe in the hereafter? Then you now know what I’m here after.” “Here’s a song about drinking and driving, it’s called ‘drinking and driving’”. All the songs are memorable and smashing awesome. This album is in my top ten of some list. This came with a folded SST records catalog, which I always love to look at.#57bmf4ever
