It's Raining Hard and I Have Shit to Do

I'm in a bit of a hurry again tonight.

The Meaning of Life (1992)

The Loneliest Christmas Tree

Hey War Pigs! (2008)

Ric Menck from Velvet Crush et al. covers Katrina & the Waves (I told you they was cool posts ago...) and the Flamin' Groovies.

Low Energy Posting.

Blah blah blah

Time of my Life (1980)

Manufactured Romance

Round World (1981)

Method Actors

Vermont.

It's that day.

Cross another off.

Vermont.

Fit to Travel (1994)

Madelines. From Burlington, VT.

With the minimal effort I usually put into these things, I found a current website for one of the dudes, Colin Clary. He seems to have remained in Vermont.

The other dudes in the band look to have moved to NYC and formed a band called Pilot to Gunner. 

Haven't heard them, but I really do quite like this one. Kind of a nice shoe gaze feel.

I like my shoes.

Snowplow/Madelines split (1994)

That same year they split a single on Split Records with like minded gazers Snowplow.

Two more sides to enjoy until the X kicks in.

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.

Fuck Titles. Here's a Compilation

13th

Here's some lo-fi rock and roll

Elastic Jet Mission (1994)

It's on Slampt.
This is the kind of stuff that the 90s excelled at.
Lo-fi garage noise.
Bands named things like Yummy Fur, Delicate Vomit or Skinned Teen.
