ONE FELL SWOOP - Nubiles Galore

(picture removed for copyright infringement)


On this ,their final home recording (next up is the live gig tapes ,from the Draft House and other locales!) the trio is joined by Sean Sommers ,and a few "real" nubiles ,Shannon and T.J. This day also saw the one-off recording of a side band ,Li'l Shavers (found elsewhere on this blog) There is also one long-lost track (Pull The Trig) ,recorded in Cape Coral at Mumsy's ,by Count Vance ,with Ed,Joel,& Chipmonk playing ,and Eric "Trig" Triglet, on vocals and mini vacuum ,which I will locate and post ,soon! On this particular recording ,tho' , Black Flag's "Nothing Left Inside" leads it off ,followed swiftly by the golden oldie ,"Shave And A Haircut" ,and then runs thru 6 more college-rock tunes ,and ends with a lo-fi voyeristic track ,"Packin' It In (With The Meat Puppets) ,wherein the core trio talks about several issues and the upcoming Meat Puppets show. A great band ,spun off from the mighty Cat Machine! You deserve everything that's coming to you! I'm talking directly to you ,the listener! Hope you take my tip! Recorded at Cat Machine house ,20 years ago today! Jan. 16,1992!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Tales Of Desperate Survivors On The Edge Of Reality

A short 5-song e.p. ,due to the recording device fucking up on us ,but then turned into our recording device for the slowest band ever ,Quaalude! This really does contain what the title implies, songs that tell of extremely desperate people ,in survival situations.Shane Carwile plays trumpet(!!?!!) on much of this ,and Billy Drake and Sean Sommers also play and sing on thease tracks.Ed ,Joel ,and Chipmonk ,just keep the music flowing ,and spewing lyrics about characters we know ,like, Pukeboy & Subhuman ,Jimmy Cochran ,and riders of the Special Olympics Bus ,amongst others. There is only one more studio recording before the tapes go to live gig recordings. Cover painting by John Wilford. Recorded 1/14/1992 ,20 years ago today!!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Shake My Claw,Suzy Fink

The title has to do with a girl that had a claw hand.Ed,Joel,and Chipmonk were once again graced with Billy Drake's prescence ,as well as Shane Carwile ,Sean Sommers,Dave (antelope leaps?) ,and it sounds as if Katie Ball stops by ,and possibly Kristy and Zolan. Recorded in Joel's room at Cat Machine House 1/11/1992 ,straight to boombox! At some point near the end of this recording ,our recording device began going south. You can actually hear the tape slowing down and making sense of the closing number "I Have Lost All Of My Motor Skills". I think we recorded the band Quaalude(slowest band in history! found on this blog!) on the same recorder ,that day or the next ,after it was acting up.Also of note that day ,some workers were beating on Gramp's roof,and you can hear it on the tracks ,"Beat On The Roof" , "Arty Party" ,and "Crazy Ass White Boys" . The first half of this tape is 6 songs ,all college rock and indie-punk alt-rock stuff.I also must have had the mohawk up on this day as I act and sound like a barnyard bird on ,"Rooster" ,an act I would pull out from time to time ,when the fin was up! This is a really good and strange one. Dig it . And Suzy ,if you're out there ,I don't know you ,but sorry 'bout that album title!

ONE FELL SWOOP - Hector Koriyama

The greatest unknown,underground ,diy ,indie-punk ,alt-rock ,experimental band ever! Don't know where the album title came from ,but there is a short piece ,"Namesake" ,which toys with the album title.There is a positively insane cover of the Beatles ,"Revolution #9" with a brief interpolation of Led Zeppelin's "D'yer Maker" ,which will drive you mad! "Slum Sermon" ,is exactly that ,a preaching on the horrors of poverty.There are more songs ,too ,that only OFS could have written! Special guest (a throwback to the Cat Machine days!) was Sean Sommers,who sings on some numbers ,and may even have played some instruments!Good shit as usual from the power-core trio ,from Ft. Myers ,Florida.

CAT MACHINE - Potsie Rimjob

Bet you thought the album title from the last Cat Machine album I posted was gross! This one is a very close second.Ed , Tony,and Joel (who joined in on side 2),with special guests,Billy Drake,Shane Carwile,Sean Sommers,and Dave "Antelope Leaps",which is a whole other story.The first appearance of,"Rainbow Shower" (a live staple),pieces about local scenesters,specifically Joe Willa,and Philbert Ze Chocolat Clown,and Sean doing an annoying Rollins impression,on a cover of,"We Have Come To Kill You".Pretty good show,here,I somehow fit it all in one zip this time!

LIL' SHAVERS- 2 bits

this was recorded after a one fell swoop session ,with me,chipmunk,sean sommers,t.j.,and shannon.quite noisy,kinda heavy metallish,shannon does most of the singing,sounding sexy.she fakes an orgasm on here,and sean does some hilarious vocals.hard to say what this is,weird alt-punk,or acid-punk,it's out there.try to listen to this!the last track is from the aforementioned ofs session(titled,nubiles galore,i wonder why?),with joel,of course,and shannon on vox.t.j. and shannon were about 15-16 when this was recorded,and ofs were a bunch of perverted 20 somethings.from joel's room at cat machine house from 1992.

QUAALUDE--another lude

once again the slowest doom band ever,period,end of story!this version of quaalude is me,joel,chipmunk,billy,shane,and sean sommers,and is all on one speaker,sorry,we did'nt even know the tape was recording so fast,so in playback it was super mega slow,so how were we to know it would only record on one speaker?we did'nt.some fine trumpet playing by shane on."lower east mexico,ft.myers" and some scary vocals on the 4th and final track.this was actually recorded minutes before the other quaalude tape(look on this blog for it!) and has shorter songs.pretty industrial and spooky.check it out.baroque dub by tardly friends

PANTHER PISS

this band was a one -off project with 8 members.me ,chipmunk,billy,shane,vance,chuck,sean,and fred,all took part.chuck's bass lines really hold this all together.kinda am-rep/sonic youth/free jazz,type of sound,some instros,some vox.don't let the 1st track fool you,we were going for that,"the tape deck is eating your tape sound"(this was originally on cassette),to freak people out.has some sax on a few tracks as well.can't pin down a genre,as with most of our bands,so just download and listen up,click here:   https://archive.org/download/PantherPiss/126PantherPiss.zip 

QUAALUDE

now for the slowest band of all time:quaalude!.even sped up as fast as you can ,on high speed dub,still slower than even the slowest doom or stoner band.almost annoyingly slow,and happened by accident.we recorded 2 songs and the tape ran out,apparently the recorder had the wrong cord plugged in it,and the tape recorded super fast,in like 5 minutes.me ,joel,sean,t.j.,and shannon are the band.t.j. and shannon were a couple of teenage girls who for some reason ,latched onto us for a few weeks or so.the results are astounding,you can't even imagine how s-l-o-o-o-o-o-w-w-w this is.for fans of downers and extremely depressed people,might even help you decide to end it all.dispiriting despair.click here for link:http://www.mediafire.com/file/ny2z4yyyzuz/QUAALUDE.zip
