FURNACEFACE Unsafe at Any Speed 1996
I Hate the 90s loyal fan and contributor Martin gives us another obscure upload. Thanks Martin! The guitars and drums on this remind me a lot of Serpico (later known as Sleeper).
TRUCK STOP LOVE self titled 1993
I think this might have been their first release but not positive (in case they had some obscure release on a tiny record label or some demos). Their second album, How I Spent My Summer Vacation, is much more hard rock instead of laid back like this EP. Check 'em out.

FLAT DUO JETS I'll Have a Merry Christmas Without You 1994
Released on Norton Records and pressed on green wax with a Peter Bagge cover. I bought this for $2.99 at Shangri-La Records, Memphis. Shangri-La always had such great 7 inch records to plunder through. I'm not sure if they are still open or not. If you are ever in Memphis, go check them out.

THE SEYMORES Blue Star 7 inch
The Blue Star 7 inch was released by a tiny record label, Full City Blend, in the early 1990's. No date exists on the record which by the way was pressed on blue marbled wax. And unfortunately I don't know anything about this band but don't think they ever released a full length CD which was very unfortunate, as they had a catchy sound and could have come up with some great songs for a release.
Full City Blend had on the burner some other releases from Handsome and Vitapup as you can see by the insert enclosed with the 7 inch.
If anyone knows whether these other releases were pressed, let me know. I would have loved to have especially had the Handsome 7 inch.
DANIEL JOHNSTON and YO LA TENGO Speeding Motorcycle 7 inch 1990
Received a promo copy of this while college radio DJing. Best perks in the world!
Side A : Speeding Motorcycle
Side B: Do You Really Love Me? (live)
Recorded in "glorious mono."
Speeding Motorcycle was released on the Singles Only Label with catalogue number SOL-911-7
The cover as you can see reads "Live on WFMU February 4th 1990"
I'm not sure if that means both songs or just side B.
And I almost forgot. My friend Princess Kingry and I performed this one night at Sluggo's with me on guitar and us sharing vocals. Jeff from local Pensacola band Sewerfish let me borrow his guitar. Fun times! But the crowd looked a little puzzled as to why we were singing it the way we were as we chose to sing it exactly the way it was sung on this record. Once you hear this version you'll get what I mean.

OPIUM DEN Diary of a Drunken Sun 1993
By request
Opium Den was a 90's gothic rock band out of Boston. They have also described their music as psychedelic rock and art rock. Christian Gilbert's Spanish-classical influenced guitar playing is combined with the poetry of Annette Farrington's lyrics.
It was formed in the early 90's when Christian Gilbert and Mike Demma were looking for a singer for a psychedelic band they wanted to form. Annette was coming off touring with a Boston theater company and soon joined them. They then auditioned John De Gregorio as a bass player and they liked his unique style and musical creativeness. [1]

RED RED MEAT / NUMBER ONE CUP split 7 inch 1996
This came from my personal collection. At the time I was immersed deeply in the music scene and a music director for college radio, station manager and peon at an indie record store where I could pretty much order anything I wanted. No regrets on this purchase which was pressed on red vinyl.
Side A: Red Red Meat "Milk for the Mechanics"
Side B: Number One Cup "The Tongue of 2 A.M."
"This split single is the beginning of an open ended project. Red Red Meat and Number One Cup each started with the same recording of a distorted cowbell and built a song from that sonic foundation."
Released on Flydaddy Records

I Hate the 90s Early Christmas Present
Don't Eat the Yellow Snow
Released around 1993
(notice the dot matrix print label)
One of the many benefits of working at a college radio station and being the music director was that I got to open up all the packages that came through the station. I usually didn't pay too much attention to the videos I got because most of them I thought sucked to high heaven. For some reason, I apparently chose to keep this one called Don't Eat
the Yellow Snow. Released to promote Atlantic Records' bands and sent out to radio stations and music journalists all over the country, Don't Eat the Yellow Snow was exceptional in my opinion for the quality of most of the bands they chose and the video production. Standouts for me are Jawbox, The Lemonheads, Unsane and Bad Religion.But here's the odd part...I just found this video in a box in the bottom of my closet a couple of weeks ago while rummaging through some old boxes looking for rare cassettes of 90's music and radio station ID's. I couldn't believe it when I pulled it out of the box. If I'd lost it I never would have noticed. But now, thanks to a nice friend of a friend who let me borrow h
is VCR DVD recorder, I burned a copy of it onto DVD. It's in stereo, it sounds fucking grand, and here it is as an early Christmas present. Feel free to download it and burn yourself a copy of it too. And if you find this posted somewhere else on the net, I can guarantee you they got it from here.Oh, and Frank Zappa is nowhere to be found on this comp.
Lemonheads - The Great Big No
Tori Amos - God
Jawbox - Savory
Unsane - Body Bomb
King's X - Dogman
Melvins - Hooch
Stone Temple Pilots - Creep
13 Engines - Smoke and Ashes
Moxy Fruvous - My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors
The Dylans - Grudge
Bad Religion - American Jesus
Total running time: 38:20
And if you're really good boys and girls, there might be more surprises like this ahead.
