 Folded Shirt - Tiny Boat B/W Mouth Clock album cover

A little Happy Flowers, a little Fat Day, maybe a hint of Flipper. Enjoyable weirdness.

Various - Emergency Broadcast Systems Volume Three [1993 Allied Recordings]

 Various - Emergency Broadcast Systems - Volume Three album cover

Got Covid, so I may be posting more to pass the time, assuming I survive. Comorbidities FTW! 

Could have sworn I already posted this, but I'm finding no evidence of that. 

Everready before they hit their stride. Evergreen, I don't know anything about but per Discogs were "a short lived but influential emo/post-hardcore band from southern California." Radon, being awesome per youge. Lockjaw, Canadian band I also know nothing about. So two of my all-time faves, and two mysteries (to me).

The 440's - Let It Die 7" [2003 Big Brothel]


Remember the Shreds American Underground series in the mid-90's? Hugely influential for me personally. Introduced me to so many bands I knew nothing about (Dugans, Fracture, The Deviators, The Phuzz, etc., and plenty of great songs I already loved (MTX, NOFX, J Church, Cub, Bracket, etc.). On Volume 3 (Best of 1995), there's a great song called "She's The One" by one of those bands I knew nothing about, Dr. Bob's Nightmare. I recently tried to find the 7" it was on and ended up at the Bandcamp page for the 440's, the band that sprung out of DBN. I order the DBN 7" and they were kind enough to throw this in as a freebie. Garage-y barroom greaser punk.

Various - Urban Guerrilla Zine Compilation #1 [2001, Disintegration Records]

 



[Update: link should work now]

I wore this CD out in 2001, and certain tracks became staples of many a mix CD -  the SMD, Melee, Astrid Oto tracks are all excellent, but the two that really stand out are the Grimple track (naturally) and Social Infestation. 

The other bands on this are Los Cunos Electricas, Zero Content, Shit Loads of Fuckall, Slowdeath, Urko, Medication Time, Lemur Mutation, Head Hits Concrete, Catheter, Crude, Fracas, Exitwound, Beware, Antiworld, Discordia, Lana Dagales, and BrianBloodVolume. Great comp.
