Jupiter Sun - Jupiter Sun 12" EP

As requested/predicted, here's the entire self-titled 5-song 1-sided 12" EP that I posted from on YSKOD back here. A nice serving of carbonated jangle pop released on I Wish I Was A Slumberland Record in 1994. Try not to be discouraged by the laughingly bad song title.

Sample mp3: Jupiter Sun - Violet Intertwine

Idaho - Bayonet 10" EP

Here's an appealing 10" EP from Idaho released on Fingerpaint Records in 1995. Four traditional Idaho rockers, plus three strangely haunting atmospheric "segues" that are throwaways worth keeping. "Juke Box" is the last song you'll want to hear before you pass out after a night imbibing your choice elixir. Warranting of a locked groove.

Sample mp3: Idaho - The Worm

Requests for Last Pass: I to J

If you have any requests for I or J bands for next week, please post them here. Thanks for all the nice comments and requests of late.

Henry's Dress/Flake 7"

Breakneck split 7" released on Omnibus Speedway Records in 1995. Y'all know nuff bout the Dress, but be sure to check out Fluke's Superchunked Butterglory too.

Side A mp3: Henry's Dress - All This Time For Nothing
Side B mp3: Flake - Deluca

Guided By Voices/The Grifters 7"

Four short snappers from GBV (Hey, Mr. Soundman; Announcers & Umpires; Evil Speaker B; Uncle Dave) and one potent potable from The Grifters (I'm Drunk) constitute this split 7" released on Chapel Hill's The Now Sound label in 1994. Is it just me, or does "Uncle Dave" sound exactly like another vintage GBV song?

Sample mp3: Guided By Voices - Hey, Mr. Soundman

Requests for Last Pass: G to H

The non-perspicacious should note that as of this week I've moved to a new sample-and-archive one-two punch in an effort to get through each month without exceeding my bandwidth allotment. Note too that I'm only posting 7"s this round, so album requests will not be honoured. Please post relevant new or repost requests for G and H bands here. And if you can handily control the universe or at least your interpretations of events therein, then a happy new year you shall know.

Erectus Monotone - Cathode Gumshoe 7" EP

Early 5-song EP from short-lived cool-named avant-garde indie-rock band from Chapel Hill, NC. Released in 1991 on Merge Records. Not the highest batting average in the league, but when they hit full swing, they really belted it out of the park. And I don't enjoy baseball.

Sample mp3: Erectus Monotone - Old New

Eric's Trip - The Gordon Street Haunting 7" EP

Sadly, Elevator's website is down, making me wonder if Rick White and his Canadian Crue's wonderful ouvre has finally reached the ground floor. Hope not. [Sic] title aside, here's a great song from a truly haunting EP, released on Sub Pop in 1994.

Flying Saucer Attack - 7"s Part 1

The first time I played an FSA 7" my eyes bulged, my mouth fell open, my eyebrow(s) raised, and an imbecilic smile spread across my face. Revolutionary. Noisy. And just fucking cool. I was an instant FSA junkie, chomping at the bit to buy any and every skronky hiccup they stamped into a puck of vinyl. I have mixed feelings about passing my FSA habit on to you. Some of the addictive effect is probably lost when one simply downloads their songs en masse from a digital archive. To compensate, I will post half of their singles now and half next round. This round you can download 1992's Soaring High/Standing Stone (VHF Records re-issue), 1993's Wish/Oceans (FSA self-released), 1994's Crystal Shade/Distance (FSA self-released), and 1994's Land Beyond The Sun/Everywhere Was Everything (Drag City Records).

Fudge - Bomb Pop 7" EP

This EP isn't as tasty as the Twitch Hazel/Technical Jed double 7"; it gets a bit sweet and drippy at times. But it's still a nice indie-pop treat. Released on Richmond, VA's Brilliant Records in 1992.

Sample mp3: Fudge - Oreo Dust

Requests for Last Pass: E to F

I didn't have any tenacious D bands left, and my Haunted Sausage 7" needed to come out this week. Next week will be the official last pass for E bands, and possibly for F bands too, so please post your new or repost requests here. I'm not wishing you a merry dealy neither. You'll either have one or you won't but there's no use prognosticating about it.

Evil Wiener - Happy Holidays 7"

I'm going to pull a quick queue coup to post the same damn xmas 7" I posted last year. Evil Wiener released this gem sometime in the early 1990s on Flavor Contra, based out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. There are not many festive songs I can submit my egg noggin to more than once, but here are three exceptions.

Side A mp3: Evil Wiener - Secret Santa
Side B mp3: Evil Wiener - Mistletoe Head
Side B mp3: Evil Wiener - All Around The World
