A few short guitar and vocal songs. The Uke of Spaces side is one song about life.CaliforniaPriests/Gaybomb- 20 minute Cassette/ 66 copies.Them NAtives w/ Child Bride and Social Junk 42 minutes cassette. 66 copies yellow tape in purple striped pocket with blue thread. this tape is sometimes meodic and sometimes chaotic. Like children eating blood sugar candy, there is something sweet and primal about their style.------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- Social Junk Cassette "Fat Honey" 40 minutes- This is two sets of social junk live, they sound like they hate and love each other at the same time. Some interesting mixing going on in the studio too. Sometimes the recording is saturated with treatments on the instruments and sometimes it is totally clean the difference is immense. They switch from oraganic textures to abrasive effects all through this recording. Only 66 of these were made, and I have maybe 15 left.Zack Kouns "Natures Orphans"/ Gaybomb "A bomb A nation" split 12" : $20 - RED VINYL- Kouns plays bass, guitar and the smallest form of sampling, sings and occasionally let's the reverb go beserk and feedback occurs. Desolate music from a tormented soul, even with 4800 friends on myspace. True outsider music, beyond any style or definition, but it's indeed quite nice. I could google Gaybombs (that what is written on the other side, along with '186/206', so there aren't many around) but I am a bit afraid of what is to be seen then, so I didn't do that. Gaybombs play an odd kind of noise on an ancient synthesizer, which is fed through an amplifier in the basement, with the microphone picking up the signal of the amplifier as well as the basement itself. Quite a loose set of sounds, also, perhaps, involving a reel to reel recorder or a turntable. The recording quality is no doubt part of the fun, or hey even concept (how would I know), but it could perhaps be a bit better than this. A fascinating record this one, perhaps one that will pop in a blogspot in a few years as one of those lost treasures. -VITAL WEEKLY$10 BLACKOccasional Detroit Gaybomb (From Blastitude- OCCASIONAL DETROIT GAYBOMB LP (ISLE OF MAN) Even over here in peaceful Lotus Land USA you still have to watch for an occasional Detroit gaybomb. Here's one now in fact, a musical collaboration between Occasional Detroit (from the Detroit area of Michigan) and Gaybomb (from the Charleston area of South Carolina), pressed on purple vinyl and released with no artwork in a clear plastic sleeve by Gaybomb's Isle of Man label. The collaboration is seamless, and marks the longest I've actually sat down and listened to Occasional Detroit. I've heard them for sure on the absolutely ridiculous free-mp3-release collaboration with No Doctors called "Breast Feedin (Is What I'm Needin)," but I think the only other place I have is on YouTube (or better yet, Real Player, back in like 2002), and I think I always turn it off after about 30 seconds because it just sounds so fucked-up, and I mean that in just about every sense of the hyphen. I mean, live they do seem kind of awesome and cinematic (the latter in an early John Waters or Andy Warhol sense) but I really have a hard time understanding how to listen to the music. Is it hip hop? Is it a guy talking over noise? Are they wasted or joking? Both or neither? But there's something kinda special about this LP. When I say that the Gaybomb collabo is seamless, I mean that this sounds like a serious studio record. Even though Gaybomb sings on his records, here he lets Occasional Detroit take all the vocals, presumably so he can focus on beefing up OD's somewhat sketchy (amorphous) sound. It works - they sound more accessible and tuneful than ever on here, and without compromising their weirdness in the slightest as they mix and blend lo-fi, noise, drum & bass, hip hop, toasting, and maybe more.$20PPD limited 490 Purple Vinyl ---------------------------- Super Pizza Party split with Gaybomb cassette in fabric pocket OUT--------------------------------------------------------- -------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------ExPets/pukeattck! cassette split in silkscreened fabric pocket.

Dead Vagina's live at Lenny's is cocktail bar music with a no input mixer! - it defies a genre- gaybomb loops drumming and screams on CDr and Vinyl - while Ironing's single LP track (Your Oxen Have Drowned - analogue feedback hipity hopity )-is just a mess...The Americans present something which is like sifting through a landfill site of waste, half eaten pizzas and plastic dolls, plastic wrappers and pig offal, we listen like modern archaeologists to the actuality of now, dead waste and rotting food, broken electrical appliances and vomit... blandly, ever so blandly rolling over pop magazines, torn children's clothes and garden waste, egg shells and hedge clippings - empty beer cans, cigarette ash coffee grounds and junk mail. superb!
