SOME MORE SHIT

here's another mixtape I made for a friend in exchange for his gorden solies motherfuckers record. we haven't actually exchanged these items yet. not the best mix when it comes to playback and I did a pretty crummy job at engineering it but it's got some of my favourite stuff ever on it as well as some new crud I've been digging/questioning. I'll spare you the commentary.

SOME SHIT

in an effort to increase transparency here at various I'm posting a mixtape I made back in november while I was putting together the various fanzine. it's called "dave surf's the net, nov 5th 2014". nothing too out of the ordinary here, but I like it cause you can tell I was hanging out at the superior viaduct website, thinkin about all the cool shit I could buy if I had any money; then I whipped over to the negative guest list website to survey its static landscape due to the death of it's prime director brenden annesly a few years back - a truly inspirational figure for dirtbags from all walks of life (if anyone has any copies of the NGL fanzine they'd be willing to loan/sell me get in touch!!!); then I got stuck on youtube, listening to full sun ra albums of which there are MANY. could be more if he wasn't so dead.

b side's a bit more straight ahead and gets a little into the "gender debate" if yr dumb enough to call it that. hear girlschool talk about all the dopes who don't take them seriously because they're not hairy enough followed shortly after by uk sub's "all I wanna know", a true misogynistic anthem of which there are MANY. other themes explored on this side: love, loss, rejection, psychic space exploration, teenage perversions, isolation, and the spiritual advantages of being WRONGHEADED. overall, apart from the brigitte fontaine, dos, and undertones tracks (great on their own, but seem to slow things down a bit) I'd say this is without a doubt one of the greatest mixtapes of semi-popular music ever made in the terrible history of the human race, at least by me.

gonna leave it in the SAD RAD RECORDING CLUB tape exchange library box at RADSTORM so feel free to borrow it, listen to it, steal and never give it back, take it and destroy it, whatever you want why should I care?

REAPING TIME HAS COME

PIG reunites for one night. 

poster by aught/void.

will have some new surveillance t-shirts for this show. 

LEAVE NO CROSS UNTURNED

surprise fuckers I had this post all ready to go when I wrote that last one!!!

grump's got a sample of their 7" up on their bandcamp. not gonna embed it for you so CHECK IT HERE.

KIM FOWLEY IS DEAD

good time to update you as to what's around the corner for various. I'm very happy to say that the surveillance and grump 7"s are ALMOST DONE and will be heading off to be mastered n pressed in the next week or so... so I'm thinking like 3 months and they'll be out, give or take any number of days/weeks/months.

in the mean time we're having a show on the 21st of feb at lost and found to promote the releases (and also ourselves). a poster will be posted soon, maybe even in the next few hours!!!

in the noise department we've got a new cassette from the very skilled and reputable Beck Gilmer-Osborne. this is their second cassette release, though I'm pretty sure there's only something like five copies of the first one...anyways I feel lucky to have one. this tape is essentially COMPLETE and only needs dubbing and cutting so it will most definitely be available at the feb 21st show. a sound sample has been provided for your listening pleasure. as far as I know all sounds were created with a saxophone and a bunch of wires. I'll try and provide more information on that when the tape's done.

thanks for living,
dave
