Listening... Catbirdseat posts the 1975 punk rarity, "Politicians in My Eyes" by the band Death. Death was a pre-Bad Brains trio of Detroit black dudes who moved from R&B to punk and cut just a few songs in 1975-1976. This is rare and great stuff, well worth the download and pursuit of the Drag City compilation of Death's mid-70s work. Politicians in my eyes... awesome.

I still need to go pick up the full length, but it's on the list.
What a Gemisch. Hendrix, Stooges...Air Supply?
