Poverty Pays Off


Another night of records.
Playing Hulaboy. Typing Bullshit.


First Steps & False Alarms (1995)

This being a collection of home demos compiled by David Kilgour of the Clean fame.

Some songs ended up being on other releases. Some didn't. Some are just kind of proof of concept drafts of things put to tape. It's all part of the process for an artist as prolific as Mr. Kilgour seems to be.

I personally lack the stamina.

But I did kind of luck out by being poor. As with some of the late 90s Fall lps, I ended up buying some things on vinyl because they were usually a few bucks cheaper than the compact disc releases.

Now thanks to the resurgent vinyl fetishists some of those records have become nice little expensive collector's items.

But for this one Ajax records took the time and expense to get a decent pressing together.
So that's nice.

It's all nice.
