Artist: Seagull Title: Live April 5 2008 Label: Editions Smoke Filled Casket Catalog #: ESFC007 Format: D/L (MP3)

Notes: Performance at the Shitstorm Noise Fest, April 5 2008. One of my least favourite experiences, marred with technical screwups, bad visuals and poor planning, made worse by the fact that it was an amazing event filled with incredible performances by everybody but us (and maybe the person who masturbated on stage but I guess that’s not my thing). I forget who recorded this but it sounds tinny and unpleasant. In the spirit of radical transparency here it is!

Notes: The unreleased Fossils cassette intended for Smoke Filled Casket, which I forgot about until now. I’m not sure if this was released elsewhere but I am putting it out digitally for free download. If you had said at the start of this process that I’d be working on releasing an awesome tape that I had forgotten about I would have laughed at you.

Notes: Inspired by the Mego 12″. Nowhere near as good. Our fridge at that house was pretty fucking loud.

Notes: Cassette version of SFC028 that I made when I thought that the lathes were lost. Mostly identical to the record except in a less charming format.

Notes: I opened for Richard Ramirez at an empty Emergency Room (R.I.P.) and he seemed like an OK guy so when he asked if I would give him something for release I sent him this tape. After that, he bungled the name and artwork and didn't even send me a copy. So I released it myself. When I posted it on the iheartnoise message board (R.I.P.) he griped about it but by that point I didn’t care.

Originally released on Richard Ramirez's Deadline Recordings in 2009, reissued here under the intended project name with new artwork.
