a friend of mine made me a wipers mixtape back in the early 90’s and looking back i remember my was “if i want to listen to nirvana, i’ll listen to nirvana. if i want to listen to bob mould/husker du, i’ll listen to bob mould and/or husker du.” so, on and so forth. you get the point. i was pretty ignorant back then, or at least had a tendency to. said mix tape was listened to a few times, but filed away for safe keeping. it wasnt until probably until 2000 that i got around to listening to it again. this time everything clicked. my musical landscape had broadened greatly and there was no more denying that greg sage had, and continues to be aped over, and over again with little to no fanfaire. which i am sure is fine with him. plain and simple, along with the aforementioned artists, hundreds and possibly thousands of artists owe a debt of gratitude to greg sage and his wipers.
you can buy the first three, classic wipers records, re-mastered in a box set for the paltry sum of 17 bucks. worth every single penny, imo.

hola, amigos. holy f’in a! cant believe i missed that the new rock of love was coming on! actually i think yesterday was the first episode. dudes/dudettes please check out the chicks in this years cast. i swear 90 percent of them look mildly/strongly to be products of incest.
two of my most anticipated records of 08 have leaked, malkmus’ real emotional trash and mould’s district line. real emotional trash is pretty bad ass, but unless you have seen malkmus as of late probably not what you would expect. its pretty jammy, which is to say its a bit reminiscent of wowee zowee, which is just fine by me. district line, i am still working on. there are like 6 or 7 songs that are great right off the bat, the 3 or 4 are the ones i am going to have to spend some time with. its definitely not a disappointment, just still getting used to the newer bob.
i got a bunch of new stuff to talk about later, but until then here is darkside of the moon performed in its entirety on 3.15.73 in philadelphia at the spectrum. its an awesome soundboard that is commonly referred to as dark soundboard of philadelphia.
