Let's talk about the Canadian protogrunge band Slow

cuing up hornet piñata & pouring one out

I sent you an email Clemenza... Thanks!

I responded, but I did this before, and I think you have to include your actual e-mail address; I don't think a response to the ILX-mediated e-mail gets through.

Email me at e7jey4a02 @ sneakemail.com.
Yes, it's a real address! :) Thanks!

Also, I emailed the store/label that put out the EP and here is the exchange:

We and Mint Records have worked on it with the band for a few years...
and constantly the band decides that they don't want the project to go
ahead.

Sorry...

Never had the chance to see the band in any of its permutations, but I did hear two Tankhog stories from friends - one of which involved the lead singer jumping onto the bar in a near-empty venue and smashing glasses while continuing to perform, and another involving refusing to let the band sleep overnight at his house because at least one of them had a tendency to piss himself while sleeping.

You can find one of the Slow songs in digital format if you can find the Zulu compilation Last Call, which has a lot of other really fantastic music on it too, so definitely worth seeking out either way.

Also forgot... immediately after slow, Hamm and Terry (bass and drums) we part of shortlived, lumbering, theatrical Metal outfit called Ögre, who were pretty fucking great...

NYC -- this record is still yours if you want it, but I need an address...

I just replied again, Phil...

Clemenza is a God who not only sent me the EP but refused a penny more than postage and handling costs upon the threat of not cashing the check.

Public notariety and thanks to this guy who is just awesome, as awesome as the wonderful slab of vinyl I can now crank whenever I want (and will).

Thanks--glad it wasn't damaged in transit.

Lucy Liu, are you paying attention? I'm a god.
