THE SCREAMIN' MEE-MEES
Plastic Hong Kong Door Bell Finger (Gulcher Records) CD $11
The Screamin' Mee-Mees
are back! This is Jon Ashline and Bruce Cole's first proper release
in eleven years (after a slew of archival digs more recently). And the
duo returns to its basic mid-70s form: two adult children bashing away,
making up songs as they go along. Plus a jam of double-guitar sub-Beefheartian
twistery, and two tracks with Bruce twiddlin' his audio generator in a fidgety
Krautrock-like manner.

HOME BLITZ (Gulcher Records) CD $11
Home Blitz is 21-year-old Daniel DiMaggio from Princeton,
New Jersey. The basic HB sound is an odd mix of powerpop, punkrock,
and noise (etc.). Think: early Modern Lovers, Big Star, and Flamin' Groovies
circa '72 + Half Japanese, Harry Pussy, and freejazz . . . huh?! Does
that make sense? Oh yeah! This disc collects the first two HB singles (way
out of print), material from a cassette release, a new HB 12" EP, and two
otherwise unavailable tracks.

CRAWLSPACE
The Spirit of '76 (Gulcher Records) CD
$11
Take me back. Yeah, take me back. Take me back to where
I once beee-longed. (Elvis version of the Fab 4.) Git back juju. After
15+ years in the outer regions, Crawlspace has touched down
on solid rock again! With the pick-to-click "Take Your War On
Vacation" & lots of yer fave tunes by O. Rex, the Raiders, Love,
Patti Smith, Patrick Sky, the BIrds, Deep Purple, Allan Sherman,
the C*nts, the Saints, & the Stones!!!

CRAWLSPACE
Crawlspace Rears Its Lovely Head, Motherfuckers! (Cauliflower
Dreams; Belgium) CDR $9
The "last" Crawlspace "noise" release? Two long tracks recorded
and/or mixed during our last spurt of improvised racket & abstract
experimentation: one of our most controlled free pieces (synths, loops,
etc. moving randomly but mixed with care) + one that's a storm of guitars,
drums, & other crap layered into an ugly mess that even we couldn't
totally sort out afterwards. Limited edition of 100 copies.

THE SCREAMIN' MEE-MEES & HOT
SCOTT FISCHER
Warp Sessions 1972/1973 (Gulcher Records) 2CD
$18
Years before they released their first EP in 1977, the
Screamin' Mee-Mees hooked up with rock-writer Scott Fischer. Inspired
by the Godz, Amon Duul I, and similar weirdness, they recorded two
batches of chaotic noise, space-age freak-out, cracked humor, and
dark proto-punk. This was all released on two limited-edition Slippy
Town CDRs. Now it's available again, with notes by Fischer and Mee-Mee
Bruce Cole, plus a previously unreleased track by Scott and Bruce.

JOSHUA JUGBAND 5
Joshua Jugband 5/Damascus Doldrum (Gulcher
Records) CD $11
Reissue of 2002 Slippy Town CDR and 2003 Ramadan CDR
by Joshua Jugband 5 a.k.a. Jakob Olausson. With an hour of grade-"L"
instrumental psych-out, low-key wall-rumblin' groove, heavy livin'-room
glow, guitar distortion, dirty drone 'n bellow, caveman drums, and
unknown tongues.
