I clicked on the link, looked at the site for a few minutes, still no idea what it is.

Nothing is straightforward with you, is it?

those mp3's double as a review of the entire works of Comets On Fire

Monoshock >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Comets on Fire

Mudhoney is great though. I don't think that Monoshock and Mudhoney are TOO similar though.

I expected it to be a bit more...prog?

― European Samuel Glickstein (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 20:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Nah, more "out" than prog.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 20:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know what "out" means, in this context. It sounds like a section in a wanky record store.

It's an early 90s Oakland thing, you wouldn't understand.

Did I get the wrong CD? I got Runnin' Ape-like...

if you don't like that one, I wouldn't sweat further research. But before you sell it back, listen to it once really loud driving a truck down ocean beach with a huge bottle of ether.

I do like the record but every time I play it, it keys into memories of just how fucked up they were live, so gygax may be right about 'had to be there'

Though by any standard Comets On Fire are a travesty

― milton parker (Jon L), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 21:12 (nineteen years ago) link

I like Comets On Fire!

Comets On Fire are ok, everything's ok

"Soledad" is a GREAT song.

my teeth are dancing on the apple and it's all your fault for liking Comets on Fire

― milton parker (Jon L), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 22:01 (nineteen years ago) link

there must be an easier way to feel old

― milton parker (Jon L), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link

"Soledad" is a GREAT song.

That is a great single. The b-side is excellent as well!

Rock’n’roll is now old enough to have snatched the spiritual mantle from both jazz and the avant garde, AND to have subsumed both of those artforms into its gasping greedy needy veins.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 02:38 (eighteen years ago) link

I still have Runnin' Apelike and I can't get into it.

― Serge Protecteur (nordicskilla), Saturday, 28 January 2006 23:53 (eighteen years ago) link

"Soledad" is on that, right? That's a good one.

Runnin' Apelike is a compilation so it's a bit all overs, but if you just go straight to "Mexican Dentistry" and turn it up I bet you'll end up wishing you'd been in the room

eight years pass...

Two new CDrs of unreleased Monoshock stuff on Silver Current! Lost Shock Vol. 1 and 2. Noisy lo fi boombox recordings.

one year passes...

Cardinal fuzz just reissued the compilation cd Runnin Ape From the backwards superman 1989-1995.
Which is really lo fi and energetic and things.Starts off sounding like an Ozzie Stooge punk band and passes through sounding like Dead C.
Gosh quite exhilarating.
