Butthole Surfers' good stuff was far too short lived.

i really like the LP i have by them

it was a bit of a shame that kurt cobain offed himself as i reckon he'd have continued to make good music, although supposedly nirvana were going to break up.


i would have liked to have heard more from the church mice, although they split up years before i was born.

it's hard to say really, i mean i can think of a few groups who split up before they started to go downhill but who knows if they'd put out another record if it would have been any good?

There has been a flac file of the tape available on Idolator's blog, however I lack the requisite software to do anything with this file format. I was wondering if the flac version of For Every Wolf that Roams is the file you intended/ had posted? I've been unsuccessfully petitioning Kill Rock Stars to reissue a comprehensive Huggy Bear compilation (I personally am dying to hear the early demos with Matthew Fletcher on drums) and with their being a ubiquitous cultural reference amongst the contemporary British indie bands (see how often Los Campesinos! and Love is All mention or are compared to HB) you would assume that there would be a renewed interest in their material.

coughs
mclusky
huggy bear
slint in their original form
joy division
pink and brown

yeah this looks like my version along with my scan allthough i didn't post it there, winamp will play .flac files as will vlc and foobar, to burn flac's i use burn for free which you can download for free and i agree it would be great to see some early Huggy Bear reissued, i am also working on making a better sounding copy of this tape

arab on radar put out a shitload of ep's and full lengths, put on a buncha amazing shows, they broke up at an appropriate time i think, they wernt gettin along anymore.

im not sure if the coughs broke up for sure, but yeah, they definitley have a few great ablums in them if they do.

the amazing thing about no wave is how much impact it had on underground music in such a short period of time, it wouldnt be the same if it went on longer.

when bands break up, its usually for the best. the smartest musicians always no when theyre creative time with certain people is up.

Burnout.

their 7" on Drag City is so fucking good.

I'll add Honor Role and Moss Icon as well.
