Vinyl Review: "Ruins I & IV" by Junkpile Jimmy

Welcome to the show that's surprisingly been renewed yet again.

In the past, I'd talked about when a band sought me out and sent me a CD, but nowadays, I don't listen to CDs anymore, and more often than not I will turn them down.

But, Junkpile Jimmy of Crazytown, CA has again asked to send me a vinyl copy of his album for my review.

There is no more humbling experience and exaltation of what I do here with Glacially Musical than an artist, label, PR, etc sending me a copy of their record on vinyl.

Any time one is sent to me, I'm eternally grateful. My hope against hope is that I receive 2 per month. If I could do 24 vinyl reviews per year, I'd be eternally thrilled.

Here we are in 2020, and this is number four. Only 20 more to go right?

Interview with Junkpile Jimmy

Junkpile Jimmy

It's time to return to Alberhill, California in order to speak intergalactic time criminal, Junkpile Jimmy once again.

You may not recall now, but this gentlemen sent me a copy of his insanely crazy record that's all kinds of insane. We're talking Rimmer on a date insane.

Something happened though, between the original transmission of this interview to my fingers receiving the answers.

Here's how you know it's a time warp...when I asked the last question, the St. Louis Blues were the worst hockey team in the NHL....and not a team (as of this writing) riding an ELEVEN GAME WINNING STREAK!

So, onto the insane death metal that's clearly nuts.

Glacially Musical: Thank you for taking some time for me today.

Junkpile Jimmy: No prob, it's an honor!

GM: Let's start off easy and let's all be chill and peaceful. With that being said, what is wrong with you? It appears you're insane.

Have you ever heard something so out of the blue, you just had to tell every single human being on the planet Xenon about it? Well, that's how Junkpile Jimmy struck me.

Unfortunately, my home planet doesn't have friendly affairs with the said planet of Xenon, though they love all sorts of music, they don't much cotton to outsiders. It's such a strange thing.

Anyway, the rest of the people of the galaxy will have the luxury of meeting and listnening to Junkpile Jimmy. Then they can decide for themselves.

But seriously, ORDER THE RECORD! 

Vinyl Review: "Wants You Dead" by Junkpile Jimmy

Wants You Dead

Have you ever heard of this place called California?

Apparently over one sixth of the United States's population lives in this elbow shaped land mass on the West Coast. This state abuts the Pacific Ocean and the State of Nevada.

Talk about Scylla and Charybdis am I right?

If you were to ask someone who's not a USA citizen, or someone West of Los Angeles, what the defining feature of California is you'd probably get an answer along the lines of warm sun and Hollywood.

For me, the defining jewel of Cali is the Bay Area, what with the Metallica, the the Janis Joplin, The Winterland, and the eternal fall and all, but I'm slightly odd or I'm going slightly mad...either way.

Back to Hollywood....
