Dear BLOG TO COMM

This is your second review of the "Godfathers of L A Punk" compilation from Siamese Records (founded circa April 1977 by Philippe Mogane and James Williamson -see: http://siamesedogsrecords.com/about.htm, for more info.)Now part of SIAMESE DOGS RECORDS: http://siamesedogsrecords.com.
And I thank you for your knowledgeable attention.

Although your first review was more caustic/hinging on cynical, I am elated to read how well you did your home work. And how, pulling out your famed demoniac magnifying glass, you gave a scrutinizing eye at the content of the Siamese Records crusade.The reason I chose that roster is to show to all that, despite American ugliness whose evil politic has branded the World today, there is another America: The People's America where human beings, from all nations and races, have thrown in the cauldron their cultures and hearts. Through much pains and sorrows.

You have to go back in time to view a world without internet and quasi lack of information to realize that our combat rock was musical commitment in the pursuit of Human Truth. "I Got A Right", for the Kids all over the world - "Street Queen", against Bi/Homo/Trans bashing which was at his paroxysm in the 70's - "Neutron Bomb", against the Reagan Imperialism - "Beat Her With A Rake", to open the dialogue on the subject of violence against Women - "Hound Dog", with Little Richard, the King of R 'n R, as an homage to Afro Americans for their immense contributions to the Americana Culture – “Electric Church” or How To Start Your Own Little Church - "I Am A President", released on Reagan's coronation, as a warning for what was to come. And it is in continuation of our work that I thought our powerful music issued from sadness, anger and suffering had to be released again for the young ones. The combat is still on and that’s why the compilation's subtitle is: "It's Time To Wake Up Again, America!!!"
