THE ERSATZ BOX SET

Hats off to Ghetto Blasters and Switchblades. In the past year or so they've posted five volumes of mixes titled This Primitive Sound, featuring what could best be described as undistilled rock 'n' roll, leaning towards punk rock. All of these mixes are good cross-sections of old and new, recognizable and head scratchers, all five zips with with thirty individual mp3s, so you can ignore those that don't suit your fancy. The more familiar bands from the first volume include the Heartbreakers, the Saints, Thee Headcoats, the Gories, the Zeros, Crime, the Black Lips, and the Oblivians; so that's what you're in for. There's 150 cuts in all, so even you full on minutiae fiend punk collectors will likely be surprised (And let go of that collecting thing already!)
