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

Another Berkshire Favorite!
So soft and silky and warm and, oh the butterscotch color is such a perfect fall color! No static either! It does come rolled and sealed with plastic in a box, which I appreciate because you know you’re not getting something someone used and returned; all the Berkshire products I’ve bought come this way and while things being squished and sealed in plastic normally irritate me I approve of it here because Amazon is notorious for sending out used dirty crap and no one wants that in a blanket. Luckily with Berkshire I feel assured I’m always getting something new. Maybe that’s because the products are so high quality no one wants to return them (I know I don’t)! Or maybe they don’t allow returns, I don’t know. Sorry random tangent! But anyway, buy this for you, your friends, your pets, a stranger on the street! I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure the soft cozy feeling of this blanket could ensure world peace if everyone has one because everyone would be cozy and comfy and happy. Well maybe not everyone there’s always someone who has to complain. But not this girl. Because I’m cozy, comfy, and happy under my awesome blanket while I write this review!

Great!
It was great and soft! Very warm so maybe not a summertime blanket if it gets really warm by you! It’s really pretty and looks just like the pictures!

Pretty not practical
Size: Queen (90"x90"), Color: Tiger Print Brown
I want to like this blanket because it’s soft and pretty but it’s unfortunately one of the most annoying blankets I’ve ever had. I got this blanket to replace my comforter for summer because it’s too hot and this blanket wouldn’t be. Well because or of it’s soft underneath and the fact that the two layers are only sewn together at the edges all night long it rolls into itself and won’t stay in place. I’ve tried tucking it under my mattress but by morning my bottom half is freezing while my top half sweats because the entire blanket will have slid up.
