Things not otherwise documented.


I love Discogs.  It's one of the best things about the 21st Century and the Age of Information. No longer is learning what constitutes an artists discography a matter of searching, researching and hunting around in used bins. You can hop online and find it and in most cases buy it all with a few mouse clicks (or at the very least download a copy to listen to if you're not into the whole source material schtick.)

But even now, occasionally a few things fall through its many tentacled heart.



Blue Girl (1995)

Sometimes it's a matter of naming your band Emma. It's bound to make it difficult to find your band ever on the internet for all of fucking eternity. But even then if nobody who has a copy of your sole (presumably, I can't tell you named your band "Emma") double 7" release and uploads the information to Discogs then I won't find it there anyway. So it has to get done. And now that it is I see that Parasol Records has a copy to sell. Be a dear and purchase that.



Maybe it's just that 1995 was a weird year for vinyl as everybody was too busy with ringing its death knell digging it a big hole to die in that nobody took time to account for all the weird little things that actually were released. Here's another. It's from the NYC area and appears to be a little one off thing by some obscure people from other obscure bands.

 It's a bit country. "Blue Chippy" is a great little toe tapper. Share it with your friends over a tall boy.
