Sincere Apologies

To quote Mark Twain, "The report of my death was an exaggeration."

When I posted The Last Call, I had no idea the chaos that would ensue. 20 comments & a shitload of emails. I apologize.

A combination of my usual sick sense of humor & particularly bad foresight created this incredibly unfortunate fiasco. As carlo 243 so eloquently stated: "That joke isn't funny anymore." or as kostas.p more succinctly said: "Dreadful joke."

Please let me explain.

I have been gone for the last two weeks. I was attending a Buddhist retreat in the Laurel Highlands. Spring cleaning the spirit. Fasting every other days, vow of silence, no use of any devices or even electricity. I spent the time cleansing my soul & body in the bosom of nature. I am centered & pacific but also super invigorated & slightly edgy.

I returned & flipped on the ole PC &...

For a brief instant I actually considered just calling it quits rather than trying to appease all the friends of NSS I have obviously disappointed. But I love music & I'm addicted to sharing the tunes with their  "charms to soothe this savage breast". So I'll just eat some humble pie instead.

I thought I was being clever, posting up an April Fool joke. I even used the photo from Patti Smith's "April Fool" as the cover art & included that track in the download without listing it in the tracklist. I figured everyone would get it & that would be that.

Well, that idea obviously didn't go well.

I think most everyone figured out the joke, but as time wore on, the humor waned & then died. Soon its corpse was stinking up the place. I called the meatwagon to haul off the remains as soon as I returned. Now I'm trying to air the place out just a little.

All I can really do is apologize & ever onward. 

 

 

Here is everything I have from one of my favorite post-punk groups. 

There are kinda two Glaxos. One with & one without Rob Chapman. 

It's mostly here for you. I have posted their Christine Keeler 7" elsewhere.

I was going to include Dreams Interrupted (The Bewilderment Years 1978-1980)  but all of the tracks are re-released tunes on the previous Glaxo I've already posted, except for "It's Irrational" from the Avon Calling (The Bristol Compilation) & "Time Out: Lost Causes", "Tell Me", & "Punkjazz"  which were previously unreleased.

I've posted these bonus tracks in a separate file here.

Enjoy,
