I thought this woud be a good place to ask. 1. The Deep Six - Last Time Around/One And One (Soft) Anyone have any details on The Deep Six, like who they were or where they were from? I don't think they have any connection to the band that released an album on Liberty. Has "Last Time Around" been comped? It isn't the Del-Vetts song. 2. Orange Wedge - Predudice & Discrimination/Reject Me Not (Lamp) This doesn't sound like the band that did "From The Womb To The Tomb" to me. Has anyone heard this and know what year it's from. It seems to have a bit of a Velvets influence, though the lyrics are pretty bad. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Who cares if it's been previously comped as long as it's GOOD!!! > Yeah that was me who started this thread and that was all I was saying. (I just threw in the "paint peelers" theme along with it, but insert your theme here.) I wasn't the one preachin mp3's. They're good in a way if you wanna hear something before you buy it or whatever. (Just like tape trading.) But if you rely on that as your "LP" or "CD", that's pretty sad.

As for the recent spate of "fuck MP3s" and "anybody that thinks MP3s of garage music can sound great is full of shit", c'mon already, it's the music that's important, not the medium. Sure MP3s sound shitty if you listen to them on shitty computer speakers, but play a well made MP3 back on a decent stereo and it sounds pretty fucking close to the original source. I think it's much more ridiculous that some of you seem to think you need a $1000 turntable and cartridge to listen to music that was meant to be heard on a $50 car radio... Note: I highly recommend the Philips Expanium, a portable CD player that'll also play MP3 CD-Rs and CD-RWs. It's got a line out jack so you can hook it right up to your audio system's AUX input. About $175-$190 at Circuit City and elsewhere. At 12:21 PM 2/9/01 -0800, you wrote: > >I've made 4-5 cds worth of stuff from Napster and I >think it sounds GREAT!

Apparently, the general gist is that they were an inferior attempt to cash in on a trend---as if they were Bobby Rydell to the Ramones' Elvis Presley. (Rolling Stone magazine gave this LP the thumbs-down for that very reason...) I just bought this album today ($3.99) and yes, they do sound like a desperate attempt to get with the "new wave" before it was too late. But it sounds good just the same. This may be a band of anonymous session musicians giggling at the new music---on the front cover, three of four band members are facing away from the camera; the back cover offers no personnel listings but does mention in the liner notes that "little is known about them individually, and that appears to be precisely the way they want it." Fact, fiction, parody, tribute, or just a tax write-off for a record company who hasn't had a hit in years? Christ Child won't be found on the California volumes of D.I.Y. or BLOODSTAINS ACROSS..., and I'm sure KILLED BY DEATH smoked right past them. But for a punk-rock ripoff record, not bad stuff. J.
