Gaunt Live Tapes

here's some iffy performance reproductions - one from the casbah in san diego in 1995 and another from little brother's here in columbus in '98. if anyone's ever wondered about the time i spent in gaunt, the casbah tape is somewhere between a third and a half of what there is to hear, so there ya go. the little brother's tape is a little bit harsher of a listen (man *someone* should really remaster this stuff, don'tcha think??) but it's pretty notable for the inclusion of a rough new song and the alternate lyrics to "worry" and "pop song" and whatever else they were fucking around with at the time. now if only the stache's tape would surface with their crazy medley including the 'buzzkill' theme…that would REALLY be somethin'…

Bumped By Karaoke

afore that weird and worthless get hip seedee showed up this here "volume 2" was out and about pissing on yer daughters and fucking yer lawns. THEE document of col's circa:199_ (i.e. it made it look way cooler than it actually was, and it was PRETTY DAMNED COOL), you can blame regala and half th' rockcombos on this piece of digital retardo fer all that smeg' in yer head sayin' you live somewhere that's like cool fer musick er somethin' (given that you live here --- HEY! you aren't pee-roozin' this in SOME OTHER CITY, are ya? whooo, now i's seen EV'RYthing…) - just cuz you don' know it don' mean it ain't true, compadre…

Gaunt…But Not Forgotten

EVERYTHING from the eric barth/jeff r. era that isn't on a 12", including comp tracks, demos, 'whitey the man' and two live sets. transferred from vinyl, cd, cassette, and vhs, SOME people have bitched about the sound quality on some of the tracks. i certainly challenge them to track these records down and do it one better. (and i wish ya good luck finding the unreleased stuff and the live sets!) perhaps they will indeed find that here in col's in the early '90s THINGS JUST SOUNDED LIKE SHIT. (pretty much still do.)
