THE pre-eminent underground label of the '90s? I dunno, it may well be. But which particular marshmallows are good to eat in that there discography, and which ones sort of taste a bit funny? Grab my nuts and guide me in, boys.

― hstencil, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Slightly less than not a lot. I still see stuff like Ashtabula and Ashtray Navigations lurking in the racks though. And I got a nice Shadow Ring album a few months back too.

x-post!

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

What's the story w/ Angus then hstencil?

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

My favourites would be:
Harry Pussy - What was Music
Dead C - Trapdoor Fucking Exit
Vertical slit - Under the Blood Red Lava Lamp

― jesus nathalie (nathalie), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to hear the Ashtray Navigations stuff. Ashtabula didn't really impress me that much when it came out, but that was a long time ago so maybe I'd like it more now. Which SR album did you get?

― hstencil, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Tom Lax vs. the ghost of Angus MacLise

― hstencil, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

siltbreeze put out one of the weirdest of guided by voices' brilliant string of early '90s 7-inch eps. "get out of my stations."

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Which SR album did you get?

Put The Music In Its Coffin. The one with 'Horse Meat Cakes'!

Was listening to Ashtray Navigations last night. Half of that record is awesome (track two I think?), half of it is, err, not. Kind of like the noisy codas at the end of Sonic Youth songs stretched out to infinity.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost re gbv: if that's the one with "Melted Pat" and "Dusty Bushworms" then it's on the Tard and Furthered comp.

― hstencil, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:18 (twenty-one years ago)

yup that's the one with "melted pat" etc. seven tracks in all.

Search:

Charalambides, Market Square
The Dead C., Trapdoor Fucking Exit
The Shadow Ring, “Tiny Creatures” b/w “Harlequin: darkest part of the sky”

taken from hstencil's list...these 3 releases like totally messed up my worldview in 1996 or so.

Tom Lax emailed me a year or so ago because he wanted to hear the Desperate Bicycles again and heard I'd sent a CD to someone. He was like, "my name is Tom, I used to run a label" and I was like "I know damn well who you are."

Shortly after a friend of mine who's somewhat inside, with some connections to Table of the Elements and Smells Like amongst others told me the Angus story and it sounds pretty sketchy, but what I got was all hearsay.

In any case, I think Siltbreeze's stopping had something to do with a deal with Matador or Revolver, which was it? Moving onto the next level but not being able to function. Like how many copies of the Dead C's Whitehouse CD were floating around, and wasn't the next Dead C's record put in Whitehouse digipacks with a new cover glued on top?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

If you don't have the singles (I didn't) the compilation Tard & Further'd is great. Worth it for 'Now That You Have Left Me' by Monkey 101 alone.

― Mike Seghini (Brainwash), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Search: most of the label, esp. Dead C, Vertical Slit reissue (awesome public service right there) + Jim Shepard lp, Alastair Galbraith's Morse, Strapping Field Hands IN The Pineys, and MIKE REP AND THE fucking QUOTAS!!

Hmmm .. destroy that Sam Esh lp, I guess. ALso Un didn't do much for me.

Monkey 101 were great! I wish they had found a way to release more than the two singles.

Yeah, the Dead C's Repent live thing was made with leftover White House sleeves.

Anybody else attend the 2-day Siltbreeze fest in Philly back in the early 90s? Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, Bruce Cole, GBV, Strapping Field Hands, Harry Pussy, Bassholes, Charalambides ... Good times.

― Broheems (diamond), Friday, 26 March 2004 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I liked Un live but never heard the record.

― hstencil, Friday, 26 March 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Dead C: All
Charalambides: Union & Market Square
Alan Licht: Sink the Aging Process
The Yips: Blue Flannel Bathrobe Butterfly
Sebadoh: Oven Is My Friend 7"

Awesome Label.

― ddb, Friday, 26 March 2004 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

What specifically made me think of Siltbreeze today was Jack Rose mentioning Un in an interview in this month's Wire. I hadn't ever heard them.

That Philly festival sounds superb!

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 26 March 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

''Like how many copies of the Dead C's Whitehouse CD were floating around, and wasn't the next Dead C's record put in Whitehouse digipacks with a new cover glued on top?''

haha my copy of 'repent' is the whitehouse digipack with a photocopied cover glued.

'Repent' is an astonishing release, and easily up there with 'trapadoor...' and 'harsh...'

The timing of this thread is pretty good bcz i got a few CDRs, just this morning, of a couple more dead C releases on siltbreeze.

Love harry pussy and we've had a thread on them.

Didn't know the bassholes put out a rec on there, I have the one that came out on revenant (there was a thread on 'em recently just in case anyone missed it).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 26 March 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

the bassholes cover "emulsified" (also done around that same time by yo la tengo... i think 1990-ish).

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 26 March 2004 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Julio - I didn't think the Bassholes did put out a record on Siltbreeze, they just played the gig. Tom Lax was a big fan of the Gibson Brothers, I think. Gygax, what are you referring to? I don't know that record ("emulsified").

Oh and ddb reminds me, ALan Licht played at that show as well (basically turned on his guitar, set it against his amp, and sat on the stage smoking and manipulating an effects pedal - reproduced the Sink the Aging Process record, essentially)

― Broheems (diamond), Friday, 26 March 2004 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

oh yeah, the first yips single, 100% fox is awesome, I never liked the LP nearly as much.

Speaking of Jim Shephard. Anyone know who ran Ropeburn or what happened to that label?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 26 March 2004 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

"Emulsified" was Gibson Bros., sorry Mr. Broheems (i'm full of apologies today for you! ;-D ). i think maybe Peg from the Gories is drumming on that one.

It's a Rex Garvin & The Mighty Gravers cover.

Yo La Tengo recorded their version backed by The Pussywillows (April March's old band).

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 26 March 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I always thought Un were really boring live. I liked the shadow ring live though. they were kooky.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 26 March 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Also S: Renderers: A Dream of the Sea

Speaking of Jim Shephard. Anyone know who ran Ropeburn or what happened to that label?

I knew the guy -- Doug Zimmerman was his name. He was a clerk at a record store in South Bend adjacent to the Notre Dame campus called Tracks. In the late '80s/early '90s he and his father opened what is now a small chain of huge record stores in the SB area called Orbit Music, and I think that's what took over his life, along with having a family. I think there was a second release on the label but I'm drawing a blank right now.

― Baked Bean Teeth (Baked Bean Teeth), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

You know, the more I ponder this label, the more I'm in awe of Tom Lax's achievement. What were there, 70-odd releases or something? (all in those lovely black & white sleeves!) Used to enjoy reading his writing in Opprobrium too. Does he still do reviews somewhere?

Another question: what was the connection (if any) to Public Pop Can? That Halo Of Flies album is a fine, fine thing.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, also, Siltbreeze at one time had a manufacturing deal with Matador, along with other labels like Teenbeat, Scat, Crypt, and PCP, but it just didn't work out financially. Revolver then became the distributor for Siltbreeze, but I dunno who decided to pull the plug at the end.

― Baked Bean Teeth (Baked Bean Teeth), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh and search-until-you-can-search-no-more: Alastair Galbraith Morse, one of my favourite records on just about any label.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Hah! PCP. What about Radial? Drunk Tank, anyone?

God how could I forget that Renderers CD?? Baked Bean Teeth you should punch me the next time I see you. That's a great record.

Didn't Byron have some involvement w/ Pubic Pop Can?

Re: TL's writing - Siltbreeze itself actually started out as a fanzine. Anybody ever read it? I think a friend of mine had a couple copies but I can't remember anything about it.

― Broheems (diamond), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

This isn't the first time that an ILM thread has made me miss Philthadelphia. Brings back a lot of memories. Hell, i only moved away last august. I like Tom. I don't know what the deal is with the MacLise stuff. I think my brother was rude to start that thread without knowing more himself. He could have called or e-mailed Tim Barnes if he was that curious. I dunno...

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

nothing new to add, but i endorse nearly everything being said on this thread so far (esp. the mention of Bon Matin by mr. hstencil)

― Ian Johnson (orion), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

the mclise thread i started was at the behest of jomf captain tom greenwood..who probably felt an affinity with old hippies or something.i dont really care who gets ripped off,as long as the music comes out.Ive seen lax in his fry cook whites and i didnt see any diamond rings on his finger with Hetty Mclise's name on it.

― dan bunnybrain (dan bunnybrain), Friday, 26 March 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

siltbreeze. woot.

here's a pretty decent disco graphy:

http://gravediggervideo.com/siltbreeze.html

― msp, Friday, 26 March 2004 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Pubic Pop Can was Byron Coley's doing (I think), but he may have had distro/$ assistance from Tom Lax. Did they put out anything besides the JSBX debut and the Halo of Flies record?

Rob, I have a few issues of Siltbreeze sitting in my 'zine boxes in the basement. My most vivid memories of these are the naked black chicks on the front, and an Amphetamine Reptile ad that displayed an impressive anger toward Mike McGonigal.

― Baked Bean Teeth (Baked Bean Teeth), Friday, 26 March 2004 22:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Can't believe anyone could hate on that UN LP - it's by far my favorite Siltbreeze release (and I have 90% of them - i was quite the Siltbreeze fanboy in the early nineties)

Sam Esh was cool too! What are yall crazy??!?

If i had to 'destroy' any, I'd say that Alan Licht LP is a real snoozer, and the Ashtrav Nav LP was not Phil's best. Ashtabula blah (tho all Fieldhands = classic). Other than that, though, Dead C, Tower Recordings, Shadow Ring...c'mon!!! Those are some of the best bands ever!!

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Friday, 26 March 2004 22:43 (twenty-one years ago)

also - ever heard the Sunshine Super Scum 7"?

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Friday, 26 March 2004 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Friday, 26 March 2004 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

an Amphetamine Reptile ad that displayed an impressive anger toward Mike McGonigal

What exactly was with all the McGonigal haters back in those days? I seem to remember Albini being snarky towards him in FE for some reason (it was pretty hard to get a handle on US fanzine politics from where I was sat). Chemical Imbalance turned me on to a big bunch of amazing things - Slovenly, Mofungo, Ut and I don't know what. Oh and loads of books and comics and stuff. Gorgeous artwork too.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 26 March 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

(But he can stick his Loud Fast Rules 7" right up his kazoo)

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 26 March 2004 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

BBT, I think that reissue of the first High Rise lp was also on Pubic Pop Can. Can't think of anything else though.

Dunno what was up with the FE/CI beef. Narcissism of small differences? Yetimike himself was posting here for a few weeks, but he seems to have disappeared lately. Good autobiographical piece by him here:

http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0052/arts-mcgonigal.shtml

― Broheems (diamond), Saturday, 27 March 2004 00:13 (twenty-one years ago)

that interview contains the following, for those too lazy to go read it:

"In the limited "black bag" edition of Big Black's infamous Headache record, underground guru/scribe Byron Coley wrote a short story in which a character named Mike McGonigal is birthed through the butt of the barber from Mayberry: "There's an art fag sticking out of your keister." This is, in retrospect, the highest compliment I have ever been paid. My agenda was far more gay-, art-, and women-friendly than the prevailing coolster ethos of the day. "

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Saturday, 27 March 2004 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, he was posting on ILE a bunch. I can barely remember that fracas back then. I heard one story but everything is so hazy. when in doubt in indieland, it's a money thing. count on it. I loved Chemical Imbalance. Lotsa great stuff in those mags. I think i still have one of those 7 inches too. If i had a gripe against mike it would be for making me buy a Game Theory album that I really hated.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 27 March 2004 00:26 (twenty-one years ago)

search = alastair galbraith 'morse', destroy the rest.

― keith m (keithmcl), Saturday, 27 March 2004 00:40 (twenty-one years ago)

mike was REALLY young when he started CI, I think in his mid-teens (14-16). i think the albini/coley pigfuck mindset were intimidated by the breadth of his knowledge at his age.

― gygax! (gygax!), Saturday, 27 March 2004 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, that article explains everything, he was on heroin! That explains any stories i might have heard years ago about him owing people money and stuff. Heroin is funny like that. Well, he seems fine now. I'd buy the Yeti thing if I saw it. I liked his goofy reviews in CI.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 27 March 2004 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Fond memories of the Philly Record Exchange blaring lofi Siltbreeze records out into the outside street on even lower-fi speakers...I think the Dead C Helen Said This 12" was the corker...

Also great memories of the Siltbreeze fest at Khyber... Slave Apartments, Screaming MeeMees, GBV played and all these drunken bighaired Philly club peops spilled into the Khyber just hopping from bar to bar just as Harry Pussy came on. Weird crowds at shows in Philly, which made shows like this even more fun.

i think it has more to do with tom wanting to explore his cooking more professionally. im serious! he's just as good at making food as he is putting out awesome records.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

you guys have totally forgotten the renderers 'dream of the sea', perhaps the best release on the label..

oh and btw, 3 beads of sweat are still stocking a bit of the old stiltbreeze catelogue, now that they've gone belly up.. the renderers next album is gonna be on that apparently..

― chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, good for him. Hey, on the subject of food, I saw a book on vegan cookery by Richard Youngs today, it had a bunch of durian(!)recipes in it credited to Simon Wickham-Smith. I never suspected this underground music/gastronome thing before...

i don't know, but if you go, please check out my friends Pigeons! They are doing the whole tour with fab diamonds.

And I can further report that both bands are all great folks, and put on good live shows too. Do what I did and give 'em a place to stay when they pass through your town. (In fact, anyone in Phoenix reading this thread? They're heading there now.)

Bruise Constellation?

That's the one. I'm always behind with this label! Can't wait to hear the new CP.

ten months pass...

rest in peace malcolm "mac" sutherland, tom's 2nd in command, and the heart and soul of 90's siltbreeze action. i saw him almost every day in the 90's and he always made me smile. he was funny and cranky and one of a kind. i worked right below siltbreeze HQ for years and i always liked getting a visit from mac or his roommate ellen. troo philly peeps!
