I haven't heard of them. Were they on Slabco?

Wednesday, August 16, 2006

Everyone, listen. There is too much music in the world. There's no quality control. I can't stand to read another review or hear someone mention another new band that I should go check out. I don't want to because I'm busy listening to the mpfrees from the Slabco discography. Don't think that I'm trying to turn you onto Slabco. I mean, a lot of these albums came out on cassette tapes with cheap covers and who wants that anyways. Can you even dance to this stuff?

In Athens, GA I stood around and probably looked bored while Sukpatch (they're on Slabco) played at the 40 Watt Club. They kept telling the soundguy to "turn the motherfucker up." I mean, who wants any motherfucker to be turned up all the way? Wouldn't sound quality suffer? It took a little bit of time for what I saw to sink in. Like people all over the world do every second of the day, I changed my mind. I decided that standing on a stage and yelling at the soundman to "turn the motherfucker up" was a good idea. And then I bought a Sukpatch album entitled Haulin' Grass and Smokin' Ass, which is on Slabco. Years later when I was completely broke and selling off cds, I held onto Haulin' Grass and Smokin' Ass [slabco-36]. And then when I was still broke but decided to go buy some records anyways, it made sense to buy the vinyl of Tie Down That Shiny Wave. That's an EP by Sukpatch but it's not on Slabco. I mean, don't go search around the internet or anything for this stuff just because I decided to drop the name of a band that you may have not heard of. You wouldn't even have to search that hard though, seeing as how Slabco is giving the thing away on their website. That's totally nice of Slabco. These Sukpatch guys started putting out albums in the mid '90s, or maybe even earlier but what do I know; I don't have time to go hunting around the internet for pointless information about some band, on Slabco.
