]]> “Set it on Fire! (Play The Scientists)” 1993. Dog Meat Records. A comp of garage rock/punk blues bands covering The Scientists (from Australia, active late 70’s/80’s and then reformed in 2007). Set it on Fire! has a super-solid lineup, including Mudhoney (who were partially responsible for The Scientists getting back together in the 2000’s), Monomen, Cheater Slicks and Laughing Hyenas. My top pick has to be, of course, Honeymoon Killers on “Murderess in a Purple Dress,” mostly because Jon Spencer, Judah Bauer and Russell Simins of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are all part of the Killers lineup on this track (recorded in 1991 in the Netherlands). Also great are the opener/title track “Set It on Fire” by Cheater Slicks (recorded in ’91) and the extra-swampy pyschobillied “Swampland” by Monomen (recorded in ’92). Laughing Hyena’s “Solid Gold Hell” (recorded in ’92) is darkly unhinged, and also pretty great.  Mudhoney’s interpretation of “We Had Love” (recorded in ’91) is a pretty faithful rendition of the original and there’s no mistaking it as Mudhoney: all their signature grungy, messy sneers are present. The Scientists’ Kim Salmon clearly approved of the cover as the Mudhoney version appears on his YouTube channel:

]]> “Set It On Fire!” 1993. Dog Meat Records. The Scientists tribute comp by a stellar list of grungy garage-punks including Honeymoon Killers (and when I read the liner notes I discovered that not only is Jon Spencer on guitar on this track, but so is JSBX’s Judah Bauer – also on guitar – and Russell Simins on drums, along with Jerry Teel on vocals/guitar and Lisa Wells on bass), Mudhoney, Cheater Slicks and Laughing Hyenas. The Scientists were an Australian post punk band in the late 70′s and 80′s. Set It On Fire! is a super-solid comp, lo-fi and hard-edged. My top tracks include Honeymoon Killers “Murderess in a Purple Dress,” Cheater Slicks “Set It On Fire,” Star Spangled Banana “Frantic Romantic” (no link to their version but here’s The Scientists playing the original), Mudhoney “We Had Love,” Sugar Shack “Hell Beach,” Philisteins “Teenage Dreamer” and Laughing Hyenas “Solid Gold Hell.” So basically the entire record.
