THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION Soundtrack (this one is a SIGNED by ALICE BAG)
The soundtrack to a classic punk rock documentary. It was supposed to be released on DVD a few years back but I'm sure director Penelope Spheeris is running into licensing issues.I recently found a used vinyl copy of the soundtrack and I couldn't pass it up (even though I have the movie on, of all things, laserdisc. I really should do an audio transfer of the actual movie soundtrack because there are more songs. (And includes the FULL onstage banter from Fear -- my favorite part of the movie and possibly THE greatest audience baiting in musical history.) Tracklisting is as follows
"White Minority" – Black Flag
"Depression" – Black Flag
"Revenge" – Black Flag
"Manimal" – The Germs
"Underground Babylon" – Catholic Discipline
"Beyond And Back" – X
"Johny Hit And Run Paulene" – X
"We're Desperate" – X
"Red Tape" – Circle Jerks
"Back Against The Wall" – Circle Jerks
"I Just Want Some Skank" – Circle Jerks
"Beverly Hills" – Circle Jerks
"Gluttony" – The Bags
"I Don't Care About You" – Fear
"I Love Livin' In The City" – Fear
"Fear Anthem" – Fear While director Penelope Spheeris' second Decline of Western Civilization film examined L.A.'s heavy metal/hard rock scene, her first Decline of 1981 focused on the city's hardcore punk scene. The soundtrack to the first Decline takes us back to a time when punk wasn't mainstream; a time when it was underground, cutting-edge and controversial. Sometimes informative, sometimes entertaining and sometimes shocking, Decline was unlikely to convert anyone who wasn't already a punk admirer. The interviewees (who are either punk artists or simply punk fans) and the music tend to come across as angry and hostile, and if you were among those who didn't comprehend punk in the early '80s, all that hostility wasn't going to win you over. But among confirmed punk fans, this soundtrack is considered essential listening. Recorded in 1979 and 1980, Decline boasts what was the cream of Southern California's punk crop at the time. Black Flag's "Depression," the Circle Jerks' "Back Against the Wall," the Germs' "Manimal," X's unsettling "Johnny Hit and Run Pauline," and Catholic Discipline's Doors-influenced "Underground Babylon" are true punk classics: forceful, urgent, full of anger, and in-your-face. Most of the bands are from L.A., but the exception is the Bay Area's nihilistic Fear, which provides gut-level performances of "I Love Livin' in the City" and "I Don't Care About You" (two of its best songs). This superb album is recommended to anyone with even a casual interest in punk.
