You can get crafty and print out the cover and make your own cd, then sell it on Ebay too!!! YAY!! But then again, just load it into your ipod and you’re set. Wait a minute….fuck ipods, download it straight into your brain!!! Yeah…you lame-os prolly don’t got a USB in your head…what the hell is wrong with you??
The 26 track collection were selected from several of our full length recordings and the real bonus here is a punk-as-fuck live set we played at Canada College in Redwood City. Man, JP was screaming “FIRE!! FIRE!!!” while classes were in session. As Mike says on the tape “Always testing the limits of free speech..”. One eldery woman student who was on the lawn trying to study kept coming up to our amps and turning them down. Her best moment was the simple statement “I would like for that band to stop playing that music” after being pressed for an opinion by the recorder of the event, Stork. Right away Stork fired back “well…they ain’t gonna stop.” Eventually that fine spring day, the sum of our shenanigans and our always explosive contingent of fans made it so the authorities shut down the performance. Yes, it is all there for you to enjoy.

On the serious tip: The Slobber Semi-Discography CD was put together by RWC Dorkcore Scene Master Curtis Dickinson of Rantcore and FAAC (Friendly Acre Audio Club) fame. Curtis was also known as STORK and besides being the world’s most insane prankster, most anarchic mensa member and the devil’s favorite advocate, he was blogging back before anyone knew what that was. Honestly, I have come to realize that no one was doing daily web updates, show reviews, rants and downloads on a cascading web-post platform like he was then. The man ahead of his time! The proto-blogger!! Curtis passed away on November 25, 2003 in Redwood City, CA. Anyone who knew him, misses that overgrown mothefucker like crazy.
I'm embarassed to say I never had a copy of this cd.
ReplyDeleteRIP Stork
dont beat yourself up. none of us owned it either, we had to steal it from someone. :/
ReplyDeleteoh fuck mang, lisa had some tapes of complete sessions you guys recorded with some stuff i never heard on records, i copied them to my computer many hard drives ago and havent heard it in years. I doubt she still has them, i might have a cdr backed up somewhere.
ReplyDeleteCrazy you brought up curtis, I just found 3 different "The guys..." Demos in a box of old shit, was thinking of posting em. do you have any pictures of them?
I wish I had known about this, I would have been there.

I remember when we all went out Tubing in the Delta. - That was such a good time. - He told me. A year before he died. My hand feels funny. I'll be dead in a year. - And he was. It was the oddest thing to say. But coming from him. I knew it was both true and unavoidable. He. Was just smart enough to know such things.- To even know when death was going to cross his path. He said.- Let's have fun this year. There is nothing I can do. So. Let's not dwell on it. I just want to have some fun with my friends before I die. It was such a weird thing to say. But. Coming from him I knew he was out of options. I never could quite understand how he knew.- That's something he took to the grave as far as I know. I miss that tall blunt kid. I am a blunt person. I always respected him for that. He didn't pull his opinion. Ever.-
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know that Curtis (Stork) is remembered. I can't believe it's been over 7 years.
ReplyDeleteThere is hardly a single day that I don't think about Curtis. Those days that I don't are rare and harsh.- He was a good friend. Someone who was tragically ahead of his time. He pushed things ahead in ways that were far reaching. He left a big impact in the world. He fell like a ghost. Quiet. Loud. It is the impact of our deeds that is our legacy. Not where the credit lands.-
