NEW AMERICAN TAPES INZANITY: HALF NELSON BASKET CASE DOGS INZANE FROM DECK WASH AAAAARRGHHH!!!!

NEW INZANITY:

AM-890 Half Nelson "Elegy For Weedwhacker & Peaceful Reeds" onesided LP / Man, one of my first jobs as a rat kid was "assistant manager" for LAWN CARE PLUS. My older crew tried they hand a running a Junior in High School Lawn Business, it was kool but gnarly. Raking, mowing over animals and insects, crazy old ladies and lonely rich housewife's, fights with other lawn crews: was a crazy job. We had a friend crew-er that ate a fish outta a small pond that we would illegally dump grass at went totally insane, still to the present last I heard....BUT: On the ruff days when my old skate partner-cum-young entrepreneur Erik had an axe to grind, it was young zone who got "the signal" to just weed whack, aka THE WORST part of the job. The other muggers would be living easy behind they self-propelled mowers, grinning wide. Being the weed whacked means you are doing the 1: lowest job 2: gotta sweep up 3: SUX. The motion Erik would give would be a strong glare, a point, then a weed whacking motion, all silent over the din of the summer bugs and rev'in motors. Ugh. BUT: Good news, that image is NEARLY erased from me rat nugget from this RAW platter au' excellence from young guns HALF NELSON, with they mind freezing basement MONSTERPIECE debut twelve incher for reeds & weed destroyer. A nasty adventure in true git and tape splatter all with the dribbling granite sound desire of damp dusty Joe Hammer Sq. Pitts Youth. Killer first vinyl installment from Mike S & Alex, split LP with other Steeler City thump/thug/basement assaulter Free Clinic soon. Numbered Edition of 100 with handmade art, playable at any speed. $13


AM-891 Miles of Birth "Free Day Vol. 1" cd / OMG! New Years was a hoot hoot at DJ Lonely hearts'. Partied ALL NIGHT in the cove. Was a blast. Woke up the next morn, hit up the Stony Creek for bfast, came home. Set up again and jammed ALL AFTERNOON. Evening Miles, The Conn Artist, and Ziljohn in Comfort zone style. Had Steve Perry napping and watching the brothers focus down on some OUTER LIMIT SOUNDS. Took a break, hit up Circle K for some chips and Tall Boys and when black into the VOID. Killer. Packed up again and went to the Magic Stick for Moon Pool & Dead Machines Randy jammer. Was a killer day of SOUND. More volumes coming of the PILZ styled sound unit. B & W covers. Numbered edition of 40. $6

AM-892 Speacil Speacker "Rap Of Ibogaine & Suet" c90 New weirdo homemade electronics unit. We got a COLONY of squirrels in our black yard. They always creeping and scurrying EVERYWHERE. Freaks our special kitty friends out BIG TIME. Me & Tovinator got a suet square in the big tree for all the birds hanging out, woke up one morn, made coffee and the visual for it was a massive SUET SQUIRREL showdown. Was intense. Imagine them rascals freaking out and mangling some raw homemade oscillators. AND add to that a horrible misspelling of a Church Rap(p) event = Speacil Speacker live between yr. Ears. Color covers, numbered edition. $6


AM-893 The Basket Case "Word To The Reacher Vol 1" cd Whoa!!? Unearthed material from the massive collection of living room / empty art hall practice tapes of the amazing trio of Lisa Colwell on bass & electronics, the amazing Geoff Walker on trumpet, percussion, voice and electronics, and Oldzone on reeds, metal, tapes. All recorded SOMEWHERE in an empty CAID in '98 in the days before we had young 'uns shoving our gear/merch onto the sidewalks of Rosa Parks cause "we were taking too long to load out." Geeesh. Anyway, long tracks to guide yr afternoons into a strange place. B & W art, numbered edition of 50. $6
