Holly said...: This is cool! I need to explore their tumblr. Anything else you recommend? There's only 1 other sample track out on the web as far as I can tell.; March 6, 2011 at 4:08 PM
Brushback said...: Well, the Mountain Movers tumblr page has a ton of playable mp3's... plus, I've posted other stuff of theirs in the past (a lot of what I've posted is probably on their web site anyway, they put up songs practically every week).

Their formal LPs are actually a lot spacier and more folk/psych oriented. Especially the 3rd album, which Joe Maddelena (Crooked Hook, Explodee, Names For Pebbles) plays on-- his playing has a really heavy stoner vibe.

Their former label, safetymeeting.net, probably still has some sample mp3's also.; March 6, 2011 at 6:38 PM
Lonely (drunk) Punk said...: Thanks for all the show reviews--seriously they're appreciated. The "Too Many Free Beers" heading got me thinking, though. CT shows are really scattered across the state. It's a tough place to drink like a Mike Doskocil without driving into people. Does this explain the embarrassing jocko straight-edge scene?

My alcoholism functioned fine in my native Helsinki where only poseurs failed to make punk drunk (even if again). Life is problematic in Bridgeport.; March 9, 2011 at 8:34 PM
Brushback said...: Seriously, when I go to shows, I almost never drink. I bring a bottle of water with me, or order a ginger ale. EDGE!

It is kinda tough, though, driving back from New London or something, when you can't even find a place to buy a coffee after 9pm.; March 9, 2011 at 9:32 PM

This blog was originally intended to be a place for me to write about the records in my collection, regardless of their rarity/collectability-- or, at least, it was when I first started. Lately it's just been an excuse for me to make dumb jokes and spout off about a lot of stupid crap. Sometimes different things will be thrown in along the way just to confuse people and piss them off, which is okay. All screw-ups, wrong dates, and mis-statements will be ignored by me as if they were intentional, except for grammatical errors which will be edited and rewritten at least five or six times if necessary. Facts will often be misrepresented, as a way of mocking those people who think such things are important. Please note: This is just a hobby for me, and bands are written about here either because I own one of their records or because I've seen them play before and like them. Posting press releases for crappy bands that I have no use for is not really how I want to spend my spare time. If you want to know what kind of bands I like, just look at the sidebar to see which bands I've written about already, and you'll notice that your PR firm doesn't represent any of them. Most of the live band photos on this blog are mine, and if there's one of your band that you like then please feel free to use it, I don't care. It's your band anyway. The blog title itself was swiped from Paul Caporino-- "One Base on an Overthrow" was originally going to be the title of a M.O.T.O. record that I was going to release back in the '90s, but that never actually happened. Lucky for you, I guess.
