Slug: Swingers, EPs, and more
I don’t actually remember how I got to know about Slug, but I liked their, um, sluggish loud music. I think it had something to do with them using lots of bass guitars, and because “Swingers” was a 10″, and I really liked to collect 10″ records…. Here’s the “Swingers” 10″, a few 7″ singles, [...]

DWAB: The Song that Didn’t Make it
I know… you are all rockin’ out so hard to the new DWAB album “New and Found Songs Keep the Music Playing” and you just don’t know what to do with yourselves while you wait for new DWAB music. Well, your wait is over since I found another song that I hadn’t included on NAFSKTMP. [...]

Reality Control? – Children of Terra
A couple of years ago (yes, years) I posted two Reality Control? compilations. Most people who know anything about Reality Control? know about the label that was run by John Lyons (by the way John, belated happy birthday!) but I’m not sure that too many know that there was also a band called Reality Control? [...]

A random assortment of music
I’m not entirely sure what to say about the music in this post. The first set of songs is by a band called Munk. I don’t have much information about them–just that they recorded (to my knowledge) two seven-inches, which I bought when I saw them live a looooong time ago. The releases were simply [...]

DWAB: New and Found Songs Keep the Music Playing
New and found songs keep the music playing, but not nearly frequently enough. Being away from my artsy friends and living in a place where I doubt people would pay much attention to what I’m doing tends to take away some of the inspiration for writing songs. That’s not to say that I’ve lost interest, [...]

Punk Comps Rock: 400 Day Headache
I used to really like buying punk and hardcore comps, even when I already had the song by the band (or bands) that I already knew. (That seemed to happen quite often, by the way, but some of the more prolific bands–like J Church in this case–would contribute songs not found on other recordings.) Anyway, [...]

Sisters of Mercy: The End
Back when we had the “Deep Grooves” record store in Santa Barbara, I was always able to find some cool oddities. This Sisters of Mercy 2×7″ bootleg (which claims to be a limited edition of 300) was one of them. The Sisters of Mercy are generally rockin’ and the songs on this recording are no [...]

David Hanna: Excerpts from the 1990s
I don’t know what much I can say about David Hanna. As I mentioned on the page I created for him at So, sue me already, he would be one person I would love to have in a DWAB live band if there ever were one…. I remember David had moved away after recording the [...]

Tommy Strange: Waiting on the Corner
I first heard Tommy Strange when he was the singer for Strawman (which, if I remember correctly, was Scarecrow at the time). I think the first stuff I heard was on Allied Recordings’ “Sign Language” compilation, and I thought it was pretty cool. So, when I was on one of my San Francisco music-shopping trips [...]
