Tsunami and their Simple Machines Records label contributed in no small measure to my falling in love with indie music. I placed my first mail orders with them. I remember hearing Geniuses of Crack on CBC radio's "Brave New Waves" and sought out this 7" which was released in 1992 on Homestead Records. The song appears on their Deep End LP too, but I wanted to rip this scratchy vinyl version for old time's sake. It's a fine sad little song. I got to hear Tsunami in Winnipeg around 1994 and band member Kristen Thomson made my night by remembering me from my orders when I picked up some merch.
