Of the big three British music mags it was always my favorite. I still have that four song 7 inch, but I can&#8217;t remember the other three bands. I&#8217;ll post that one if I live long enough. The HOD song was &#8220;Roadkill&#8221; (maybe it was live version) and I knew immediately that I had to get some more of that. That song is also on <em>Dustbowl<\/em>, which wasn&#8217;t their first release but it was the first for me. It&#8217;s produced by Steve Albini, which is usually a good thing, and this record is no exception. The sound is huge and heavy and still unlike anything else I&#8217;ve heard. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imheavyduty.com\/2006\/10\/04\/head-of-david-lp\/\">earlier stuff<\/a> is good, maybe the later too, but <em>Dustbowl <\/em>is essential. My favorite songs are &#8220;Dog Day Sunrise&#8221; and &#8220;Cult of Coats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Etched in the run off margins:<br \/>\nSHADOWS side: &#8220;Many fine Budgie riffs&#8221;<br \/>\nRAYS side: Tortoise enthusiasts all<\/p>\n<p>Long live <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Head_of_David\">Head of David<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Country road, take me home&#8230; to Asheville in the morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Head of David Title: Dustbowl Year: 1988 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
