This is Glastonbury was released with early copies of This is hardcore in Europe (I think). Thought it was hard to find, but you can find it on Amazon pretty cheaply. Here it is anyway.

So instead of being coy about it, here's For Against's 1995 album, Mason's California Lunchroom, released on the Rainbow Quartz label.
Going for $30 or more everywhere that I can see: Amazon, MusicStack, GEMM.
Great record! I always loved this super-obscure band from Lincoln, NE. If you like what you hear, a few of their earlier works are now available on eMusic and have been rereleased in physical form on the Words On Music label.
BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD, A SMALL FAVOR:
After an extensive inventory process carried out throughout 2007, it has come to my attention that I am missing a number of CDs (at least 50 in number) that I was certain I had but now cannot find. Many of them are relatively easy to obtain, but here are a few that will be quite difficult to capture.
#1 - Shelf life by For Against. Received this as a promo in my You Could Do Worse days (1997). No idea where it is now. Very difficult to find - none of the usual suspects carry it.
(Finally found it for $12 on half.com!)
#2 - Broken toy shop by E. A bit pricey these days, usually between $20 and $40. With all the interest in Eels these days, you'd think some enterprising record label would rerelease this one.
(My friend Chris will hook me up with a copy of this one.)
#3 - Let's skip the details by My Dad Is Dead. Another one I'm certain I had. Could get it for around $20, but I'm holding out for a bit.
(Let's skip the details can be found at this page on the MDID website, along with a few others.)
IF YOU CAN HOOK ME UP IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WITH THESE GEMS, YOU WILL MAKE A FRIEND FOR LIFE!
Not sure how rare this one is, or if it's even rare at all. "Backwater" comes from Too high to die which is still in print, so I won't include it here.
02. Meat Puppets - Open wide (from Forbidden places, which is OOP)
04. Meat Puppets - Up on the sun (a rerecording of some kind)
05. Meat Puppets - White sport coat
Here's the video for "Backwater"":
We haven't done one of these in a while. I was sifting through my CD singles today and came across this old gem from a long-time favorite, YLT. First time I saw them was when they opened for The Sundays in 1990. My friend Michael was with me and he was much more impressed with YLT. We've been fans ever since. (And where are The Sundays now?)
I looked around but couldn't find this EP listed at Amazon or GEMM. Tracks 2 through 6 were recorded live in Berlin in May, 1989. Track 1 is from Fakebook and Track 7 was released through the Singles Only Label (which was run by Bob Mould).
01. Yo La Tengo - Here comes my baby
02. Yo La Tengo - The story of jazz
03. Yo La Tengo - Barstool blues
04. Yo La Tengo - Let's compromise
05. Yo La Tengo - At the river's edge
17. The Brilliant Corners - Trudy is a squeel
18. The Brilliant Corners - Please please please
19. The Brilliant Corners - Delilah Sands
20. The Brilliant Corners - I don't want to talk to you
21. The Brilliant Corners - Love it I lost it
22. The Brilliant Corners - The Pope, the monkey & the Queen
23. The Brilliant Corners - The ghost of a girl
I decided to finish this up before going on vacation. Have fun!
Back to the grind.
13. The Brilliant Corners - Sixteen years
14. The Brilliant Corners - Meet me on Tuesdays
I pulled all the old MP3s due to space constraints. Sorry if you came looking for something and couldn't find it. Not to worry though, more H2FCDs are on the way.
So let's celebrate the return of computing to my life by continuing with the extremely hard to find release by The Brilliant Corners.
05. The Brilliant Corners - Never a young girl
06. The Brilliant Corners - Oh!
07. The Brilliant Corners - Your feet never touch the ground
08. The Brilliant Corners - Father like son
Great to be back!
