dead moon

hell yes. first is amazing - not least for their cover of "parchment farm" - and the next two are at least as good. best intro possible.

are those first three a good place to start ? i've missed the boat with these guys.

the echoes from the past 2CD comp from sub pop is pretty awesome way to start and easy to find, etc

hmm, looks like it's out of print? selling for obscene amounts on amazin, sub pop sez they're out of stock...

amazon, not amazin

Weird, really? It is a great comp.
But it's hard to go wrong with anything DEAD MOON.

Not completely sold on Pierced Arrows fwiw.

liked that comp, but it was something of an embarrassment of riches. 5 or 6 albums worth of tracks, all of them good, but the length and sequencing make it something of a chore. i prefer their better albums, though the comp is a good pocket guide.

yeah jeez i checked discogs too and it's 79 bucks there! wtf that just came out a couple years ago

It was on sale at Sonic Boom in Seattle when I was up their around the time of the Sub Pop 20 thing.
It was only ten bucks! This was three summers ago.
Silly.

yeah, must've been someone's pet project at sub pop, probably didn't press too many of them.

that is fucked! I have that 2CD and it works great for car rides.

I'M PISSED OFF
IT'S JUST THE WAY I AAAMMMM

what'd be real sweet: a repress of the third rats LP, in a desperate red, which is probably my fave fred/toody joint and not just for obscurity points. it's got a rad postpunky vibe and every single song is so fucking sick.

I like the first Rats and REALLY REALLY like Intermittent Signals, so In A Desperate Red sounds like it'd be a winner.
I asked Fred about that when Pierced Arrows played at a High School in town a couple years ago and he either didn't hear me (quite possible from what I understand of his hearing troubles) or just didn't feel like talking about it.

this band rules, huh?

now and forever

anyone see that documentary on the band? worth it?

it's SO GOOD.
there's tons of great live footage, and their story is really pretty inspiring imo.

i loaned my copy to a friend like three years ago and have not gotten it back.

rly wanna see the dead moon doc, a hardcore DM fan said he watched it in tears.

buncha these guys LPs are forthcoming on mississippi btw

dead moon doc is available on the internets, friends.

buncha these guys LPs are forthcoming on mississippi btw

that's good news, since most of them are OOP.

I just bought all three of the reissues this afternoon. They sound great, infinitely preferable to the shitty MP3s I had before. Wouldn't have thought remastering would make such a difference, hats off to Mr. Timothy Stollenwerk.

watching the doc is one of those things that makes me wanna stand up on top of my furniture with my fists in the air like I CAN DO ANYTHING

otm

Had no idea those original DM LPs on Tombstone were outta print. They used to be everywhere.

yeah sometime in the last five years they went from being $5 Northwest used-bin staples to $40 collector's items

watching the doc is one of those things that makes me wanna stand up on top of my furniture with my fists in the air like I CAN DO ANYTHING

a few years ago there was a petition seen at like coffee shops and record stores in new orleans that was like BRING PIERCED ARROWS TO NEW ORLEANS, but they had played there pretty recently (in 2009) (and it was awesome). also who was being petitioned? bookers? fred and toody? city hall?

i signed it fwiw, didnt work

wishing you good health, Fred:

Yeah best wishes Fred, I'm glad I got see these guys as many times (three or four) as I did, great band.

Oh no! I've just gotten into Dead Moon this year, and I saw them live in August--they were so wonderful. Really hope he pulls through.
