When I produced the Jukebox Shuffle Series (1975-1986) I had to leave out a lot of tracks. I still have them in a file, so every now and then I will do another compilation. Here’s a bunch of tracks that have a lot in common: they were all produced and recorded in New York City in the first years of the eighties and all artists were more or less part of an artistic, post-no-wave movement – or better: environment. Going through my records I was surprised to notice how many of these ‘difficult’ records I bought back then. I guess they also show how the punk rock movement created an interest in art. The climate broadened our musical taste. I never play these records anymore. Perhaps they sound too pretentious today. I especially liked Glenn Branca and have seen the guy perform many times. Without the Branca band there would be no Sonic Youth (Lee Ranaldo and later Thurston Moore were members of his band). Anyway, here’s the first issue in a new series of Jukebox Shuffle Outtakes.
