Scraping the final bits together.

And with this I  think I am done with what I set out to post as far as things go. The randomness that vaguely follows the alphabet more or less will continue afresh by and by and the  six people who poke their noses over here now and again will be pleased. At least until I pick this discography thing up with my Homer & Jethro collection.




And yes, I'm serious about the Homer & Jethro.




Solo home recordings, more or less. And more or less what you expect that to entail and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.




Somewhere along the line of activity in 1996, Stewart made time to make some recordings with  Amy Linton (who I trust you'll take the time and google if you're curious.) I got both of these mail order from Mr. Anderson in 1997 and then we had a brief bit of global record trading where I dug up some Hasil Adkins for him and he scored the Dolly Mixture compilation disc for me. It was very symbiotic. 

And thus I leave things until I get a hair up my butt to post the Hulaboy seven inches...

I've got a short attention span

At least when it comes to music anyway. I am constantly changing out the songs on my phone even though I mostly listen to it on shuffle and never really hear a fraction of the music I have on there.

And so it is with this Boyracer glut. I like it. I intended to post everything I had, but it's actually keeping me from digitizing other things while I mete these records out in small chunks. I mean, it's nice and all that I don't have to think much about what I want to put up here for a while, but I'm ready to move on. I have some records I got in the last couple of weeks I haven't even played yet because I haven't had to fire up the turntable.

So I'm going to dispense with the last couple of these now and save related stuff for later. Then I'm going to finish off the Dentists posts and start back into the singles again. If I can remember where I left off....



You probably don't need this since after the other post you were a good and wonderful person and went to Jen & Stew and got better sounding digital versions from the source. But I include it here for the sake of completeness. It's Boyracer live. Fast and sloppy. Alcohol may have been involved.  You now how it is with these reprobate rocker types is.


Live on WAMH (1996)

Live on the radio. It's likely that less alcohol was involved. Banging out some hits from "In Full Colour." Penultimate release by this incarnation of Boyracer.

Here's some more Dentists.



Happy Now?




The Dentists  next couple of ventures in recorded sound were a pair of fine 12" eps with more of the same great sound as the previous records and some more somewhat cryptic titles. Though I think it would have been rather amusing when an audience member might feel the need to yell out a request for a particular favorite song and hear somebody shout "Where's My Chicken, You Bastard"



I have this ep, but these rips come from a 1988 compilation "Beer Bottles and Bannister Symphonies" on Antler Records because the mastering on the original was kind of  complete horseshit. You'll thank me later, maybe.
