Duck Duck Gray Duck
Desire LP
Mississippi Records 001
12.00 euro

"Duck Duck Grey Duck is as home with an up-tempo tune as with a ballad." That's what is says on the back anyway. No record in your collection will sound like this, unless you have a copy of the 'Grease' soundtrack and then still, John Travolta would have to be even more sleazy and have a fondness for LSD. No harm in breaking this one out for a dinner party.

Pine Hill Haints
Ghost Dance CD
K Records 186
12.00 euro

"The Pine Hill Haints new release, Ghost Dance, takes its name from the late 19th century Native American movement. In many ways the movement died in flesh in the 1890’s, but spiritual the cry has gathered steam. The society we have given ourselves shines bright, glaring from the green corporate star, taking us away from the land, away from our spiritual self, and into the great binary plastic system. The Pine Hill Haints long for a day when this wasn’t the case, and so, attempt to channel and haunt us with the memory of who we once were.

20 tracks: spirit of 1812, for every glass that's empty, I never thought the day would come when you could hate me so dearly, say something, say anything, st. louis blues, phantom rules, when you fall, death by stereo, garden of the dead, whisper in the dark, you're gonna need somebody on your bond, catfish angels, st. james infirmary blues, coo coo bird, columbus stockade blues, walkin talkin deadman, ol white thang blues, raggle taggle gypsy, leo o'sullivan story, wake up. Raggle Taggle Gypsy features Stolen Pony from Dublin and Garden of the Dead features back-up vocals by the Stolen Pony ladies.

Also available on CD

The Ghastly Grimey Orchestra
of New Orleans CD
Stitchy Press 001
12.00 euro

The Ghastly Grimey Orchestra was drawn together in the hot summer of New Orleans in 2002. Inspired by Edward Gorey's illustrated alphabeth, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies," the orchestra composed 26 songs. From elevator shafts, to haunted warehouses, to the living rooms of shotgun houses, the orchestra played. On theramins and chattering teeth, accordians and busted children's toys, the orchestra played. Time flies as it does and the years swallowed up master tapes and memories and time, mostly time...but finally now, we present this long awaited cd. Featuring musicians from Impractical Cockpit, Uke Phillips, Oak, and Boneyard Witch.

Uke Of Phillips

I Wish There Was Something I Could Quit
Aaron Cometbus
Last Gasp
8.00 euro

Second novel by legendary zine-writer Aaron Cometbus. "Laura is in the middle of a torrid affair -- with the trains that pass on the tracks at the end of her block. She is obsessed. She can't sleep. She sits on the porch all night lying in wait. Then she throws bricks, bowling balls, cans of paint. She loves the sound as they connect, meeting metal and glass. Smash goes the windshield of the camouflage Humvee. Crash go the headlights of a helicopter. The trains are carrying weapons destined for the front lines of America's latest war, and Laura can't rest until she's consummated the affair by blowing one up! She plots, she plans -- but meanwhile, the trains keep right on coming, haunting her. Taunting her, too. All her good intentions haven't done anything to stop them or even slow one down -- yet." -Last Gasp
