Just got email saying that Wienerworld are rereleasing a bunch of prime SST stuff (Husker Du, Flag, Brains) on vinyl. Weird. Pretty sure that the bands involved won't see any money from this...

That's especially weird since Husker Du & Black Flag have hardly ever been out of print on SST vinyl... in fact I just bought Flip Your Wig brand new a few weeks ago

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 28 May 2013 13:33 (ten years ago) link

Yeah I just looked at their website and they are just selling SST records.

Just looked at the SST website to see what vinyl they're selling and both Negativland SST albums are still in print. Are they big sellers or something? Slightly surprised me because most of the rest of the stuff was Black Flag, Huskers, firehose, Minutemen, Saint Vitus, Soundgarden etc and not much of the quirky less well-known stuff.

I don't know what Wienerworld is, but it makes me think of the Austrian/German fast-food chain, Wienerwald

I'd never heard of Wienerworld before either. I just have amazing powers of google.

I would think Escape From Noise would be a super good perennial for them.

My copy of the Incredible String Band movie "Be Glad for the Song has no Ending" is a Wienerworld DVD.

It's just an awful name. The denizens of Wienerworld have very good taste, but they have to tell people they work at Wienerworld.

I was pretty fond of the Kira/Mike Watt bass duo album Dos (criminally unmentioned this thread).

A less muso Hugo Largo, more or less.

Should have been a Zoogz Rift album cover.

Listening to fIREHOSE for the first time in a million years. I got a bit fed up with their albums somewhere along the way, but Ragin' Full On is so good. Obviously they were always going to be underpowered in comparison to D Boon's stun guitar attack, but there's so many moments where everything meshes so beautifully that, in the context of this record at least, I couldn't really give a hoot.

You Don't Know Mojack - Two Canadian punkers leisurely dissecting every SST release chronologically with the occasional interview along the way, good fun.

Amazing, it's not how I pictured it at all, I wonder if that structure at the back is where Rollins lived.

...from what I hear, certain SST bands had the same issue even when Ginn was releasing the records! (/snark)
