hitting the blogosphere - mp3 roundup

3 1/2 Minutes - Peep ep (1992) & Bled Me Dry ep (1993)
these two EPs which were sort of off-the-radar to me as far as fraggle/pop/shoegaze of the early 90s UK goes. fits nicely with mega city four, pop will eat itself, wonder stuff, carter USM, etc.

Wipers - Better Off Dead E.P. 7″
punk and grunge fans alike should herald this as a classic, nuff said.
via killed by death records

CRUCIAL YOUTH- Straight and loud! 7″EP
1987, and these NJ clowns take posi to a new level. a parody of the straightedge scene, this record boasts a "positive dental outlook," "if you don't shave clean you're not in the scene," and "be straight, don't be late, bench your weight, don't masturbate," among other wonderful pisstakes. be sure to grab the hysterical lyric sheets, too, when you grab the mp3s.
