The four of them were on the Hanley Bros podcast together a couple yrs back, well worth the listen

I lurve Marc Riley, I wish he'd reissue his Creepers stuff.

How do they feel about this description? “It really was a great band,” says Riley. “The two drummer lineup [with Karl Burns] was an amazing thing to be involved in. It felt absolutely infallible pretty much every night. We felt like we could take anybody on. We once played with The Birthday Party [in 1982] and they really went for it, it was a bit like a 'follow that...' scenario. And we did. We did a 13 minute version of ‘And This Day’, and we went hell for leather. For my money we were better than The Birthday Party that night, who were one of the greatest live bands in the world.” Scanlon then adds: “although we did play with The Cramps and they blew us off stage. Fucking ruined us.”
one for the "blew them off stage" thread! i find the image evoked by the lewder reading of that innocuous line truly delightful.

further to the interview, there is a pretty significant subset of fall cratediggers who will listen to all these different recordings critically and point out standouts - not sure if they've been in touch with those folks, but god i bet they could curate some truly killer sets based on their tapes. far better than the grey-market piles of crap that come out now.

It is wild how much stuff seems to get added to the pile every time I take a look - there’s a 4-disc reissue of Are You Are Missing Winner?

One of those sets has four renditions of "Das Boot". I mean, yeah, but

Even if there WEREN’T any outtakes from Re-Mit, they’d still have to make an outtakes ep called O-Mit

We could use a good live album of the fall heads roll tour from before the explosion of that lineup
― realistic pillow (Jon not Jon), Monday, 15 April 2024 19:44 (two weeks ago) link
that would be great
