Dreams - Space Needle

UPDATE: fixed the link, sorry about that.
UPDATE: sorry, dreamhost does not like m4a apparently. I’m re-encoding to mp3. Sorry to anyone who had their browser crashed…
UPDATE: last one I promise, now linked to an mp3 which dreamhost can stream and does not crash browsers.

Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Faux Depart (live)

Anyone who has been following along for any length of time knows. This one is off the excellent CoCA bootleg, recorded live 2003/09/17; there is a much harder edge on here than they put on album version.

The Units, High Pressure Days

I was already here responding to comments, so I figured I’d fire off a quickie. From their 1980 LP Digital Stimulation (their only full length release as far as I know).

Dow Jones & the Industrials, Ladies Love Appliances

Dow Jones & the Industrials hailed from West Lafeyette, Indiana; existed for all of three years, maybe less and cut about a dozen songs. This is definitely one of my favorite “synthpunk” songs ever (right up there with the Units “High Pressure Days”); only released on a pretty obscure compilation called Red Snerts/The Sound of Gulcher; Gulcher was an Indiana based record company that probably didn’t last very long. Maximum volume highly recommended.

Narky Brillans, …Goes Into Orbit

Narky Brillans, aka Bruno/L. Voag/Jim/Amos/???, was as you surely know one of the core/founding members of The Homosexuals. I stumbled upon this one somewhere. Anyway if you have thirty minutes on your hands and want to hear the stranger side of The Homosexuals, here you go.
