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

Favorite Socks Ever
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I absolutely love these socks, they compress in the middle which is my favorite thing about them! Keeps them from slipping off my feet and also adds support, love love love how they feel and how long they last! This is my second pack that I’ve purchased, I had the multi colored ones before and they’ve lasted me two years before finally starting to wear out and fade and get holes. Definitely going to be routinely buying these every year. Good to wear with my work out shoes...winter boots, Nike sandals, and my everyday adidas sneakers. These are so worth it!

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!
