Refreshing some files...

Well crap. I've noticed that a TON of files have disappeared and need to be re-upped, so I'm working on that right now. Let me know if there is something in particular that you're attempting to download which is no longer there, and I'll get on it. Thanks! -Mark

Defend The Ghetto videos!

Oh hey, i'm back after a break from updating. Here's some freshly uploaded DEFEND THE GHETTO videos uploaded earlier this week! When these started circulating around Facebook I knew I wanted to get them up here on the blog, so here they are. If you need a "refresher" on Defend The Ghetto, check out the previous post here.

First, from Mary Janes in Houston, 2002:

And then, from a party in Austin the same year:

The Jewws - "L'Explosion Du Son De Maintenant!" LP

The Jewws were a great garage-rock band from Houston featuring ex-members (Rebecca, and then eventually Matt) of Junior Varsity. They probably could have conquered the world had they gotten out of Houston and toured a bunch... But instead they left behind a legacy of great records, and this is one of them - their sole full length LP which came out in 2002 on Demolition Derby/Nitro! Records, out of Belgium. Rebecca is currently playing bass with The Hex Dispensers, while these days guitarist Omari is drumming in the Austin punk band The Stuffies as well as playing bass in Light Me Up.

not dead.

I know I haven't posted anything here since February, but that doesn't mean this blog is dead... I promise.

Leave some suggestions in the chat box so it can be taken back over from the spammers who have been posting in it! And... expect some new posts, and more regular updates, starting this weekend.

The Huns - "Busy Kids" b/w "Glad He's Dead" 7"

If you're looking at this site, you should already be aware of this record and downloaded it elsewhere, as it's already been posted on every old KBD style music blog in the world... But, in the interest of covering all of the bases on this blog, here we go. There are many other sites which discuss the legacy of the Austin band The Huns much better than I could even attempt. Check out the in depth Break My Face site on The Huns for the backstory. I have some old Huns video which I obtained when working at Sound Exchange which I was thinking about uploading to youtube... But upon searching, it appears someone else has already uploaded the same show:

Anyway, back to the 7". This record has been bootlegged many, many times with a different, B&W xerox copied cover image from the infamous Raul's show of the vocalist being arrested being the most common. The image above is the original front cover of the record.

The Prima Donnas - Live On KVRX (UNEDITED EDITION!)

While sifting through all of the submissions that people have sent over the past year and realizing how behind I am on posting stuff, I found this gem. Back in 1997, Austin's (by the way of Sussex, UK) Prima Donnas played a live set in the studio of KVRX for their "Local Live" show, which was broadcast over the air. The band later released a CD of this performance (pictured above), and while the CD had some bonus songs and other things on it, it was unfortunately "cleaned up" for release, missing the between song talking and the interview which the band did live on air.

The recording posted here is the original broadcast, recorded straight off the radio, complete with all of the awkward between song banter and the great interview where they discuss Devo, Texas seceding, and the bands storied beginnings back in the UK. The person who calls in during the interview asking them to play "Whip It" sounds like old friend Seth Johnson... is it?

Thanks to Willie for sending this (and a bunch of other great stuff) to me. My apologies for taking well over a year to get it up here. Check out the other Prima Donnas posts up on the blog HERE and HERE.
