Lust Control - Dancing Naked


Lust Control - Dancing Naked

A while back, conservative Christian punk/hard rock band Lust Control's album We Are Not Ashamed was posted. That album had professional production. Lust Control self-released two albums prior to that album. Dancing Naked was the band's second album. It's not as well polished in production (i.e. low-fi), but it's really not much of an issue. The tunes rock and can be enjoyable even if one disagrees with their perspective and can get past it. As far as I know, their first two albums were released only on cassette while We Are Not Ashamed was released on both tape and CD. A few songs from this album were rerecorded and put on We Are Not Ashamed. For a little background information on the band, go to the earlier Lust Control post as I don't feel like it writing it again.

King Charles and The King Charles Unicycle Troupe - The Tark Attack

King Charles and The King Charles Unicycle Troupe - The Tark Attack

It's only a few days until the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball tournament starts so here's something for the occasion. "The Tark Attack" is the theme song of the 1987-1988 University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Rebels mens' basketball team. This release has two instrumental versions and a vocal version featuring King Charles and two members of the team, Mark Wade and Armon "The Hammer" Williams contributing vocals. It's a rap song kind of similar to the 1985 Chicago Bears anthem "The Super Bowl Shuffle." The title, "The Tark Attack", refers to then UNLV basketball head coach Jerry Tarkanian a.k.a. Tark the Shark and his style of aggressive fast-paced basketball. Under Tarkanian, UNLV was one of the best teams during the 1980s and early 1990s including winning the NCAA national championship in 1990 by beating Duke University 103-73. UNLV's success came to an end when Tarkanian resigned in 1992 due to allegations of giving unallowed benefits to players, point shaving for gamblers and other unethical behavior.


The King Charles Unicycle Troupe has been described as a basketball comedy act performed while riding on unicycles. It was founded in New York in the Bronx area. Some websites say this act performs shows quite often in Las Vegas which explains their appearance on this record. They're currently active including making an appearance on the show "America's Got Talent."

Luke Hollandsworth - Time is Running Out



Luke Hollandsworth - Time is Running Out

I do not know anything about Luke Hollandsworth other than his beliefs as stated on this album. A glimpse at the cover reveals what is in store for the listener. Hollandsworth, at the time, was living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, according to the P.O. box on the cover and the labels on the record. From what I can tell, this album is a private press release. This was released from sometime during the early to the mid 1970s.


I was unable to find any information about Luke Hollandsworth and this album. Hardly anything turned up on the search engines. The only site that turned up that had anything about Luke is a personal site by Luke's son Robert. No biographical information about Luke is provided. There's only photos of Luke, Robert and the rest of the family. No one here in Oklahoma seems to heard of Luke Hollandsworth. I wonder what Luke is doing these days and if he still believes that "time is running out."

Hot Rods U.S.A.


Hot Rods U.S.A.

If you can't get enough of loud and noisy car engine noises in real life, you're in for a treat. Custom hot rod cars were recorded for this record on the Battle label during maybe the early 1960s. The recordings are from drag strips in locales in the United states such as Detroit, Michigan; Bakersfield, California; Bonneville, Utah and New Jersey. The Battle label put out several other similar hot rod/automobile sounds albums. The liner notes contain the information of the cars and even aircraft engines recorded on each track.
