HERMANOS GUZANOS - " On Bandcamp" (2023)

It's been a busy month, and I haven't got much done here, so I guess it's time for a little more shameless self-promotion.

 

So one of the things that has been keeping me busy has been putting a lot of our stuff up on Bandcamp!

So far there are 25 songs or whatever you want to call them on the site with many more to come. There are no albums, but all singles with individual artwork by myself, Gary Wray, or B.J. Riedel, like this alternate take by Gary for "Helium Man."

 

Even if you don't like the music, it's worth going there I think just to see some of the cool artwork, like this picture that didn't get used for "Wigglin" also created by Gary.

 

 

There's also stuff like this tag team image that was created by Gary and I a couple of decades ago when we first got computers. I think it pairs perfectly with this classic Gary Wray penned instrumental!

HERMANOS GUZANOS - "Adios"

DON CAMPAU - "Piñata Party Part Two" (1988)

 

To this day one of my favorite tapes I ever traded for was one of the first ones I ever got, and it was this extremely ambitious release by Don Campau titled "Piñata Party." It's been over ten years since I presented tape number one, so I think it's about time for number two.

 

 

This whole tape is just excellent, and it was very difficult for me to choose just one song, but......

There is one song that I think is just delightful, and on it, Don is joined by his pal Dino Dimuro, and also his daughter Nicole on vocals. 

Find out about everything you need to know about Don, and believe me, there's plenty, on his website.

DON CAMPAU - "Promise Dollars"

 "Promise Dollars and get pennies," boy, ain't it the truth?

CHARLES RICE GOFF III & LORD LITTER - "The Space-Erly Brothers" (2011)

 

"During the twelve months between January and December, 2011, C. Goff III and Lord Litter produced the eight recordings in this collection. Never having met in person, Goff (USA) and Litter (Germany) began a long friendship as postal correspondents during the mid-1980's. Over the years, they exchanged many volumes of original recordings with one another, but these two familiar figures of the home-recording underground never had collaborated to compose music together until they embarked upon this project. They achieved their results primarily by modifying original audio files that they exchanged over the internet."

SELTRAB NOHJ - "Number Of The Beast" (777)

 

What can I Say?

There's no date on this amazing CD by Seltrab Nohj and the Evildoers, but it's safe to say it's probably from the mid 1990's. Believe it or don't, but there's a whole Helluva lot of good music on this CD, and without a doubt, there is something to offend anybody and everybody.

 

Here's a list of all the wonderfully talented evildoers responsible!

SELTRAB NOHJ and the EVILDOERS - "Jeezus Of Las Vegas"

AL PERRY V/A COMP - "Instrumentals" (19ninety-something)

 

Thought I'd go out with a bang this month, so here's a tape that was made by Al Perry some time in the early 1990's of instrumental music from some of his friends and fellow music makers, and it's called simply "Instrumentals."

 

 

Al Perry is a class act, a helluva nice guy and one of the few people we ever got to meet in person, so getting to have a song on this tape was really cool for us!

 

There is a whole lot of cool music on this tape, and the songs by Dino Dimuro, Don Campau, Mark Hanley, and Lord Litter are all standouts along with the rest, but instead, here's the first track on the tape that's by a guy I never had contact with or can find out very little about. It's a little long, but worth every rockin' minute of it.

JIMMY WILSON - "Jazz'n Down The Congo" 

LORD LITTER - "Vault Music" (2010)

 

Lord Litter has just come out with a new release of some of his old music. To quote the man himself......

"I recently rediscovered a portion of an external hard drive with 10 songs I've pretty much forgotten. They must have come about in 2010. It was the time I was sayin' goodbye to the period where I regularly hosted a live concert series called "Shared Night." I introduced the musicians/bands and played the first part of the night, solo, my own songs on acoustic guitar. When the period came to an end I started producing again which I had stopped for quite a while."

 

"I'm pretty sure these songs don't fit anywhere - so as usual they will go down totally unnoticed in the history of underground music."

 

  "As usual I produced much more than I released. I composed, played, sung etc all the material. Except for *Love is all around* composed by Reg Presley/The Troggs.

Lord Litter: vocals, guitars, bass, drums, percussion, keyboards, harmonica, melodica, paper, rainstick - recorded, produced Trash Tone Studio MK5, Berlin, 2010
