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?
