Nuns in Black Leather!
“Rock and roll without rent control!!!” 
So, in 1985, my college roommates in Charlottesville, Virginia were a hardcore punk band called The Landlords. Well, they were in college, I was just a bum. But they rocked.
Released with permission of the band, here is their whole record, “Hey! It’s a Teenaged House Party” (named that even though they were in their 20s.) It’s great. Sounds sort of like “My War”-era Black Flag meets Minor Threat. Or something.
Except for “Nuns In Black Leather”, a great spoof metal song that is a straight-up rip of “Livin’ After Midnight” by Judas Priest.
Here’s the downloads:
–Single song: Nuns In Black Leather
–Single song: “Every Day’s A Holiday!”
–Side A of “Teenaged House Party” LP
–Side B of “Teenaged House Party” LP

John Beers (”Mr. Horribly Charred Infant”) and Charlie Kramer (”Mr. Anus”) were also in the Happy Flowers.

Sorry my copy of “Nuns” shows its wear. I think it saw a few too many WTJU turntables near the end of stylus lifetimes, or maybe I used it for a napkin one day. I’m going to try a more thorough vinyl cleaning, and if the sound quality improves, I’ll send the less crunchy copy along.

Oh yeah! I found it. turn it upsidedown, look near the top, and it says “drop out of U.V.A.”
Did you?
Did anyone else read that and drop out?

did you do this on a typewriter or a computer?

I did the whole thing on my trusty typewriter! I was the only one of the four of us to drop out but only for a semester; I got my BA in Mathematics a couple of years later.

The cover to “Hey, It’s a Teenage House Party” was drawn by a five-year-old Patrick Reed, brother of David Wellbeloved (who went on to found The Hogwaller Ramblers).

The memories keep coming!!! I LOVED these guys as well. The Landlords and Baby Opaque were headliners at the festival of my TWEEN YEARS. It’s too bad I was too young to catch the scene in C’ville. Thanks for the tunes I have missed for over twenty years now! The Beef People are next. My girlfriend is staring at me like I am crazy, but I don’t care…. I am twelve again.

I was just singing the Landlords songs in my head. I thought, gee! what if they are on the Internet… Surprise! I owned this album many moons ago. I am happy that you have made it available. Great album. Thank you!
