Nothing Happens Until Somebody Sells Something



For those of you who missed the Maine Coons album from a couple of years back (which probably means all of you), three of the songs were just pressed up by Stencil Trash, or sorta pressed up, or something. Actually I think it's a lathe-cut, but don't quote me on that. Limited is one way of putting it -- I mean, check out this pack o' horseshit:

lim. 37 edition: 3-color sprayed 1-layer stencil on 350g/m² grey recycled paper with a cut-out front; blue wax 7″ in a stamped 90g deluxe paper innersleeve; big center hole with a splattered single star in it; stamped white labels; numbered by stamp.
lim. 24 edition: 2-color background sprayed 350g/m² grey recycled paper with a 2color sprayed 1-layer stencil behind a 2-color 1-layer stencil sprayed 2mm polycarbonate plate; blue wax 7″ in a stamped 90g deluxe paper inner sleeve; big center hole with stamped white labels; numbered by stamp.
13 hand-numbered test-pressings in a 7″ cover that is coated with adhesive wood imitation foil; inscribed by hand with a lagoon blue acrylic-based hybrid paint marker.

It's okay, though, you can still catch all of the songs on Bandcamp. The songs picked for the 7" are some of the more Mark Sultan-sounding ones, but the album's way more wide-ranging than that, plus "I Am a Motherfucker" and "Hey Dickhead" would sound pretty great blasting out of your iPod. There's an ace Urinals cover, too.

You Know You Ain't Getting Far

I got my Closet Fairies tape in the mail this past weekend as part of the Spent Planet Cassingles club (25 subscribers only!! Wicked Dopey!!), and that reminded me that I haven't posted any Closet Fairies yet. So, here's the first Closet Fairies 7", which is sorta out of print by now, plus you can download files (that don't work) from Spent Planet's own blog, so I'm sure it's okay for me to post this here.

This is some hot shit hopped-up garage punk, any way you want to look at it. Figure Cheap Time without the roughed-up vocals, add in some Chinese Telephones, and your ears should be pointed in the right direction. There's even a hidden bonus track, "Wooden Nickels", which appears on the end of the b-side after about a minute's worth of silent grooves. Kinda funny and dumb at the same time, once you think about it.

Here's something else that I just got yesterday, a new Lord Spent track, and it's pretty fucking great. I'm starting to think that Matt Spent shares a lot of the same esthetic across different genres that Stefan Christ (Estrogen Highs/Permanent Feels/Sudden Walks) has. I haven't gotten around to checking out the Maine Coons tape yet, but it's on the list. Anyway, "Skinhead Fondue" blasts cool knowledge just like Medication, thus I like it a lot. Spin it once, and see what you think.
