- john trubee and the ugly janitors of america: my hope is a broken dog fading beneath the evening tide
(2018, cd, uk, cordelia records cd086)
Do I need to mention that John Trubee is one of my musical heroes? Despite his ranting and constantly criticizing society while doing crappy jobs to survive, he not only recorded and toured with the late Zoogz Rift, but he also released a couple of superb albums in his own right : "The Communists Are Coming To Kill Us" (1984), "Naked Teenage Girls In Outer Space" (1985), "Beyond Eternity / Lavender Flesh" (1986, also on Cordelia), "Strange Hippie Sex Carnival" (1989), and the superb "World Of Lying Pigs" (1994).
The last couple of years, Trubee has self-released three vinyl albums. Check those out at:

Anyway, there's this brand-new release by Cordelia Records.
Aptly titled "My Hope Is A Broken Dog..." the album collects (mostly unreleased) live and studio material. Next to the fact that it features Marc Mylar (Ugly Janitors, Zoogz Rift), Kurt McGettrick (Zappa) and Laurie Amat (The Residents), this album is well worth investigating. The live material goes back to 1983, but there's also a couple of tracks that got recorded in 2015 at Don Campau's studio.
Magnificent !
