I’ve only had a second or two to look over this new website called
SHIT-FI.COM, but they’ve captured a slice of the microscenia zeitgeist that warms the cockles of my heart. That is – off-putting, poorly-recorded accidents of history that in themselves became influential musical masterpieces. Think
MIKE REP & THE QUOTAS, the
ELECTRIC EELS, the first
GERMS single. I think it’s important to read both their
manifesto and their
shit list of worthy recordings, many of which I’d count among the greatest sounds of all time. And as you can see on their
home page, they have a very
classy logo. Hear hear!
Cool reference to a cool site. Their manifesto is right on!
ReplyDeleteGotta wonder, however, what that Vulcan record (farty old psych) is doing in there with all that classic lo-fi punk. That just jumps out at me like, "which one of these is not like the others?".
