Here is a tape Ray Johnson sent me that he had labeled “Earliest Sin Men”. Nice boombox / 4 track recordings and outtakes. There is some Sin Men gold here if you dig in. Thanks Ray!
Zac Institute – Hearing Loss Master
Here we have the master tape to Zac’s 90’s release “Hearing Loss And You And Me” 25 noisy tracks that sound pretty good right now.
Paxil Haze At The Vista / Sin Men Practice
Here we have the legendary Paxil Haze deconstructing music at the Vista, followed by a Sin Men session. They are just working on one song there, I am not sure what it is. Jesse?!?
I’m A Gun
Brandon dubbed me this copy in ’99 or so when he was visiting from Washington. That trip we wandered around Etown – me, jesse, CC, Brandon, etc repeating that metallica poster: “Bang thy head that just won’t bang!”.
Handgun Bravado
I bought this tape from McGonagle in like 95 or 96 at a show on the track at the high school. Having gone through all my pal’s tapes, this one seems pretty rare. I think this one really stands up to the years.
This Greasy Stain Is The Town I Love
Really great compilation Craig Kutil put together in ’96 or so. A great representation of what was going on. So much here.
Heroin Glowbugs – First Attack Master
Classic Eureka freak shit.
Fur Brothers 2 Track Mixdown – Early Audio Lobotomies – Heroin Glowbugs
There is quite a bit on this one here. 4 Fur Brothers mixdowns (2 songs) and several early Audio Lobotomies songs. These were the tracks Ethan and Chris gave me to listen to when i was brought into that band. This stuff is sentimental to me. And more Glowbugs!
Cosmetic Puffs – 2nd Incarnation at the Vista
Aaron Elliot strikes again with just about the entire E-town crew. Vista. Classic.
The Death Of Scott Peschel
I’m guessing 1996 here. Ethan on guitar, CC on drums? Also not sure who played bass here.
