Can You See My Smile from Where You Are?

Every Muslimgauze release, all the lost RootBoy Slim, the entire Around the World Project & so, so  unbelievably muchly missed more has been resurrected. I am forever in debt to Wallace C., a follower of this here blog & interweb friend (who, don’t let anyone try to convince you differently, can be as true a friend as your face-to-face, flesh-to-flesh friends though you've never met) volunteered to try & work his Dada Data Recovery magick on my long dead Iomega.

Today I received the results of that magick by UPS.  



This boy's got his shit back!

Weird shit stirring in my brain. The last thing I uploaded to the external HD before it died was David Bowie - Blackstar September 11, 2016 at 21:20.

On a post called Alzheimers, Osteoporosis, & Incontinence I posted up in February 2013. It was a band called Common Ailments of Maturity, hence the post name. About that post, I received a comment in July 2017 from Unknown: "Hello, please can you re-up this one? :-D   Thanks a lot! I've only found the None Whatsover comp and 'Stake' sounds so rad...so curious to listen the whole album." This is the oldest request I have not been able to address until today. The only copy I had was a digital rip of the vinyl on the cursed external.

Common Ailments of Maturity - Smoldering Lunchbox, 

Extremely High Quality Records EHQ 12001, 1987.

It is now re-uploaded. I  may never know, but, Unknown, if you somehow find that I honored your request...eventually, leave a comment. I love shit like that.
