Some great finds. The Pepgirlz 7" didn't have a sleeve and has no information on it. I suppose I could try to look it up online but I kind of like it being shrouded in mystery. Kitty Kitty Corporation is an awesome name for a label. The Plagiarists is very experimental. As the inside says "side b is a celebration of the AB-repeat cd loop function, helping make each of us a composer and recycling the digital sound back into vinyl." Enjoy.

More 7" Rips

The Halo Benders - Canned Oxygen (Atlas)


This is a Halo Benders 7" featuring a b-side and a remix of Don't Touch My Bikini. It also sounds like the version of Canned Oxygen is different. Could just be me or the old 7" fading.

01 Canned Oxygen
02 Its Not Me
03 Bikini Version

Wolf Colonel S/T (K Records)


Wolf Colonel aka Jason Anderson's first official release, International Pop Underground volume XC, features a whopping 8 songs all about a minute each which are precursors to his Vikings Of Mint release. If you haven't heard Jason's more recent releases checkout http://jasonandersonswebsite.com for plenty of free albums and pick up The Hopeful and Unafraid on K. It's amazing.

01. What it is
02. Didn't know what was in store
03. The penguin Entropy Retractor
04. Motorcycle Cop
05. Be with you tonight
06. Down where the other play
07. Don't Freeze this mayonaisse
08. True

The Apple - Universal Melody 7" (Belter)


I obsess over other things than just music. Here my bad movies and music love collide. The Apple is a 1980's futuristic disco musical and its one of my all time favorite films. I have a large memorabilia collection--the majority of it rare because of the film's obscurity. This is a 7" from the film put out in Portugal. I have copies of the soundtrack which only had a vinyl release, but those rips are easy to find online. Instead, enjoy this 7inch.

01. Universal Melody
02 Cry For Me

Micro Mini - Overseas (Sonic Boom Recordings)


My favorite pop darlyings from Seattle. Here is their only vinyl release. One side was picture disc the other contained two songs.

Stay tuned for another entry of 50 Cent Finds post tomorrow.

Fifty-Cent Finds!

In an effort to discover unknown music and to get extra use out of my record player I am trying this out: Welcome to Fifty-Cent Finds. Every week or two I will head over to Amoeba's 50 cent 7" section and select $2 worth of independent records. Selection will be made on whatever catches my eye.


FIFTY CENT FINDS - 01

Rizzo - Shymaster 7"
(1997 / Cher Doll Records)
A local LA two piece girl band. Comet asked me if I had the Tullycraft/Rizzo split and then when I went to the store this was the front record in the 50cent section.

01. Shymaster
02. Road Song
03. Cathy's Song

Bunny Summer - The One About Las Vegas E.P.
(1992 / SpinArt)
Bought this because of the name and cover art. On the back its says "on the a side he sings / and the b side she sings". Holly is a crackhead is my new favorite song.

01. the one about las vegas
02. the one about holly
03. black & white
04. crush

Super Deluxe - She Came On 7"
(1996 / Tim Kerr Records)
Super Deluxe is a band from my teenage years, I was never super into them but they make nice songs. Disc is cotton candy pink.

01. She Came On
02. On Lisa

Benge - evs2:01
(2001 / Expanding Records)
On white vinyl. Electro-trance-y, something Jason Bentley would be found playing late at night.

01. baud
02. unary

If anyone has anything to add about these bands feel free to educate me as well as the rest of world.

Boise Cover Band - Unoriginal Artists (2003)

Keeping up with today's theme which seems to be 'popular indie artists doing covers' I present you with The Boise Cover Band. Doug Martsch from Built To Spill sat down with a 4-track and a couple of friends and recorded this EP. While not super rare (you can buy a used copy on amazon) this is another CD that you might not know about or have been able to buy unless you happened to notice it at the band's merch table after a show.

1. Loving Pauper (dobby dobson)
2. Ashes to Ashes (david bowie)
3. I Love You More (lee williams & the cymbals)

Califone - Knub-U-Knive (2003)

I'm pretty excited to be sharing this. Califone's "Knub-U-Knive" is a self released live bootleg they did of Rolling Stones Covers. Two of the tracks--Ventilator Blues and No Expectations have shown up on charity comps but the band decided to sell 100 copies at their shows on their 2004 tour. Burned on a CD-R and each individually drawn on the back, they used the scribbles as a way to kill the time on the long drives through the country.

Califone - Knub-U-Knive
Live Rolling Stones Cover Show

01. Street Fighting Man
02. Ventilator Blues
03. Rocks Off
04. Bitch
05. Prodigal Son
06. No Expectations
07. Live With Me
08. Loving Cup
09. Miss You
