various | deliberately lo-fi

this is the first thing i ever released, and in time-honoured tradition it's a mixed bag, with some bands you probably know (hood, boyracer, 70 gwen party) and tons that (perhaps rightfully) you don't.

listening back now for the first time in a long time, on balance i'd say it's not bad for a first effort. not great, but not terrible either. a bit like the label as a whole.

this was ripped from the master tape, but still very much lives up to its title.

tape released by kylie productions in 1995.

get.

boyracer | railway

i'm sure this is available on a million indie pop blogs already but it was next on the pile so...

boyracer's first single innit.

7" released by fluff in 1992.

get.

various | i'll procrastinate tomorrow

for a while it seemed like every tape comp featured boyracer. indeed, when i was putting together the inaugural tape comp on kylie, i wrote to stewart asking if he'd like to contribute and he sent me some stuff, commenting that i happened to catch him in a "yes" phase, he gets so many requests.

as this is a sticky release, boyracer are not the only attraction here - check the live mambo taxi, hula hoop and spatula songs.

::: boyracer - this has gone on too long (demo)
::: evil wiener - we're both crazy
::: mambo taxi - belgium blues (live)
::: corradi kid - this time
::: spatula - break
::: murray torkildsen - stop talking football
::: hula hoop - tula (demo)
::: johanna's house of glamour - only lovely love

tape released by sticky records in 1993.

do it now.
