Some inspiring tracks:

* Gun Club | Sex Beat
Fierce as always, Gun Club live at the Hacienda in 1983. Notice the way the drummer corrects the dragging intro on guitar. Jeffrey L. Pierce RIP: "I, I know your reasons and I, I know your goals. We can fuck forever but you will never get my soul." Mmm.

* Captain Beefheart | Ice Cream For Crow
Haw! Haw! Haw!
"Stop the show... I need to say hello... to the crow."
Watch the weird man close the curtain.

  * Fantômas | Der Golem
The Director's Cut (2001) is an album by Mike Patton's supergroup Fantômas. One of the favourite bands of the Fraktionistas.
Try playing Captain Beefheart and Fantômas at the same time... Or better even: all five clips ;-)

* Hank III | Punch Fight Fuck
And yes, it IS a tribute to the late G.G. Allin from
the man who put the dick back in dixie and the cunt
in country. Notice Joe Buck on the bass.

  * Birthday Party | Junk Yard
What exactly is it people eat in Australia? Must be them infected rabbits. Mr Pew appears to have the epilectic fit, that a few years later proved fatal.
"There's garbage in Honeys sack again." Times three.
From the 1982 album "Junk Yard".
