While I'm supplying lost music from Siblingshot On the Bleachers, you might be interested in the literary endeavors that Ian Begg (IB) was working on as he was away from the musicblog world.

His first release is A Reign on Chimney Poets: Meditations On & Off the Bleachers. His second release is Safe as MILF: Selected Poems - Missives On & Off the Bleachers. A third release is in the works, Piggies: A Novel - Off the Bleachers.

The first two are available from SibLINGSHOT PRESS LTD. & can be purchased online through Amazon, Waterstones in the UK & AbeBooks in the US or other retail outlets. The easiest way to get a copy is to simply leave a comment at https://siblingshot.wordpress.com/ to secure your signed & personalised softcover copy direct from the author, subject to availability. & as a favor to Frenz of NSS, the first person to order either book can get a free copy of either book just by mentioning that you heard about it here. Limit 1 (one) copy to the first person who buys either book.

33 1/3 is Smegma's tribute to their 20th century avant-garde out-jazz influences. The title references both the revival of passionate vinyl listening in the 21st century & also Smegma's celebration of their long hard slog of 33 1/3 years of being one of the most free thinking original American underground groups.

With the release of Mirage, Smegma has recorded a stunning masterpiece with four of the original members (Ju Suk Reet Meate, Donkey Flybye, Ace Farren & Oblivia) working together again for the first time in many years, keeping alive their unique brand of old school primitive, avant/garage music. The CD was recorded at a Smegma house party in Portland, September 25, 2010 & includes a bonus 1974 original Pasadena unreleased recording.
