Yeay! Tapes Fall 2007 Catalog:
(for ordering, read this)



VAPOR GOURDS "Dagger Magic"

(Yeay! 026 ) | 06/08 | 30 mins/ Cass color photocopy+3 color silkscreen| $6 | in stock!)

The mysterious Vapor Gourds are the ideal vessel for contaning & compressing electro-staticky puffs deep in the void bath of space. This tape is a catalogue of their aural "Dagger Magic" - items left on the path to darker places, the intertia of mudslides, & subterranean hypno beats.

BROMP TREB "Bricktown Shuffle "

(Yeay! 024 ) | 02/08 | 30 mins/ Cass color photocopy | $6 | in stock!)

The second of the drumtape series finds Cloaca of Bromp Treb back in the basement with a few more drums & some electronics & slight cassette tactics of pause-&-record editing. More dense collages of 2-track open reel-recorded improvised drum-sketches. Theraputic pings, scrapes, and crashes inna hard-panned stylee.

FAT WORM OF ERROR "Ambivalence and the Beaker"

(never really catalogged, but would've been Yeay! 023 ) | 11/07 | 41 mins/ CDR color photocopy | 0 | out of print)

A few copies of this quickly-assembled CDR are floating around western europe. The jams have been remixed & the art re-done & it is getting a much better release on the magnificent San Francisco label, Resipiscent. Soon, so hang in there.

 

QWIKTIME N'SWIFFKUTZ

(Yeay! 022 ) | 11/07 | 80+ mins/ DVD-R color photocopy | $8 | in stock!)

Clumsy camera-collage-videos made by Cloaca on tours around the US with Fat Worm of Error in the Summer & Spring of 2007. Includes many scenes of beauty & banality, obscure objects, blurry visions, & moments of clarity, all interspersed with fleeting snippets of various performances by such greats as Rotten Milk & Jennifer Lorraine, Dig Shovel Dig, Skare Krau Radio, Soiled Mattress & the Springs, Tusco Terror, Horse Spirit Penetrates, Sword Heaven, Lexi Mountain Boys... as well as an exceptionally precious sequence with John Allingham & the Cherry Blossoms in Nashville.

 

JEREMY LATCH "Love Letters For Everybody"(Yeay! 021 (mislabelled "019" on tape!) | 09/07 | 41 mins/ Cass color photocopy | $6 | out of print!)

Here's a fabulous lo-fi tape-poem by TurnersFalls' preeminent wandering drawing skateramp-making junk sculpting troubador Jeremy Latch. Impromptu (and sometimes unpleasantly familiar) singalongs drift up from aborted man-on-the-street interviews. Bratty interjections cut off overblown live performances. There's even a couple mini-jack-fed, battery-powered, tape-to-tape-overdubbed songs to round out the experience. Jeremy is a hive of bees, gathering & transforming all these varied granules into some very sweet honey.

BROMP TREB "Audio-Visual Cassette"

(Yeay! 020 | 08/07 | 26 mins/ Cass color photocopy | $6 | out of print)

Compositions that waft over the muggy summer air like torn subwoofer poots from a rusty jalopy. A hefty fellow excitedly twirls his manboob pasties made of allegator clips from atop the sunroof. There's a fair amount of good junk in the trunk, as well as some touching digressions, to boot.

BROMP TREB "illegible graffiti"(Yeay! 019 | 12/06 | 22 mins/ Cass B/W photocopy | $6 | outta print)

The first in a series of drum tapes - it's a pause-&-record collage of two track open reel-recorded improvised drum-sketches. a fairly radical digression from Bromp Treb's typical noised out beats n' fake rap schtick, only just as fun. GRIP.

FAT WORM OF ERROR "BrickFaced"(Brazilian Wax 2 | 09/05 | 46 mins/ Cass in bag & colorcopy | $6 | outta print)This surreptitiously mangled & mixed tape by FWOE's bassist, Offal, was produced without the knowledge or consent of his bandmates. Utilizing his stereo open reel, a four track & the hefty backlog of the unmixed cassette masters filled with hours of alternately repetitive song-sculpting, idle noodling, & epic improvised stoner-jams, he built an incredibly vast, & fascinating sea of baubling magnetized particles, fluffy pink-fiberglass residue, & rotting, late-summer, crow-pecked squash.

 

CHERRY BLOSSOMS "the cherry blossoms"(Yeay! 017 - co-released w/ Apostasy, Black Velvet Fuckere, Breaking World Records, Consaguineous Records, & Hank the Herald Angel Recordings | 2007 | LP | $15 | in stock!)

Finally 'properly' mastered & released, the finest recordings of Nashville's incredible oddball musical family known as the Cherry Blossoms. This record circulated on CDR and around the web for years until a bunch of us obsessives got together & insisted on making a lasting and physical reproduction. i could rant and rave hyperbolically about this sucker for pages, but instead i will direct you to the recording's free webarchive and you can load up your ipod before you decide that you need it on vinyl: go down to the "cherry blossoms recorded in 2000."

Brian Ruryk "Piece of Shit Guitar"

(YCD 10 | 07/05 | 35 mins/ CDR in 2 bags, color copies & trash | $6 | out of print)

a re-edited reissue of this toronter's clattery opus. splattery guitar sacrifices upon altars of chopped cassettes crumpled moldy styrofoam coffeecups & a midnight parking-garage race between a shoppingbag & a oddly-designed car made of two-by-fours & pingpong balls. On the headphones, these stereo jams message the pituitary glands with the soapy exfoliating grace of SOS scouring pads. derrr, this is exciting!
