Red Mosquito

way to go Higgs

I remember there was either a song or a band called Dirtnap that was played on 1077.7 The End when I was in Jr. High. This is basically pre-internet. May have only heard that song once.

I’ve since looked it up on the internet and have never been able to find what I think I remember to be that song.

Those 2 kendrick “songs” I just listened to.

We had to watch some lame made for tv style movie in a late middle school or early high school class. I don't remember which class, or if the movie was relevant to anything. But in a scene there was a band playing a song. It had a mid 1990's rock tempo, and the chorus had lines that said something like "It's not your fault...take me away...". That's all I remember, but that part would creep into mind occasionally for years. Back then I thought it was an actual song, but now I'm sure it was just something generic for the movie.

Maybe you dreamt it

I did not.

Thinking of a CD I bought at a church lock-in once by a local punk/ska band called Everybody Duck.

I don't remember much about the album cover, but I do remember the lettering was bright and bubbly and there were some pink and orange tones to the whole motif. I don't remember anything about the songs except that they were vaguely Christian, vaguely punk, and very ska. There was so much of that music in the late 90s youth group scene. I personally was never super into youth groups, but my best friends all were so I tagged along to these types of events and I was exposed to all of that music.

Anyway, I wonder what ever happened to Everybody Duck.

EDIT:

I FOUND THEM EASILY ON BANDCAMP.

1. They weren't local
2. the CD I bought was the one with the cow on the cover.
3. They really aren't ska at all.

Damn. The memory is a funny thing. I've been thinking about this band the wrong way for decades.

Definitely not. They weren't ska or Christian either.

Years ago, I was on a long drive by myself and was passing by Bangor. I had picked up the University of Maine's radio station, and then they played this amazing awesome rock song with super guitar parts. It was so great. They didn't say the name of the artist or song at the next commercial break, and later I tried in vain to find the station's playlist online. I'll never know what the song was. Just one of those things.

There was a song from ages ago that I downloaded off of Napster called War Chant or something like that. It was kinda like Heilung or something. Some dude yelling in a foreign language. I've never been able to find it again, but I wish I could.

I've got one like those too, except I can't remember anything but a few keyboard notes between the verses. Maybe it was a female singer? In my mind it's always a Stereolab song except I specifically remember hearing it on local rock radio, which never would have played Stereolab.

This phantom song was as around 1996-1997

It would amazing if this was just Marquee Moon or something. For some reason I picture that song in this specific scenario

It probably is something like that. I have holes in my listening history, even for sounds that should be in my wheelhouse. At the time, I possibly had never heard a single Television song, and it was a college radio station so they would be playing songs that were neither new nor a staple of Classic Rock radio formats.

We can recreate it.

I once found a cassette at a thrift store with some soundboard recordings and audience background. The cassette was labeled "Komitz @ Jim's Garage, 6-4-84."

Music sounded jangly, clean, a little bluesy. Kind of like a more southern Real Estate set? I can't find anything about this group online, so it became this ethereal mystery music that I'd put on while cleaning house that I'd wonder about. Was this a local band? Was Komitz a person's last name? Was Jim's Garage a venue or a literal garage?

Anyway, I was showing my six year old how my old Sony cassette recorder worked and taped over most of it. More music I'll never hear again.

I taped it to a C90 mix tape, but that's long gone now.

Ive searched over the years for that track but never been able to find it.

Weird given its from such a well known band, but there you go.

<Edit> Except I literally just searched YouTube for it for the first time in years and found it straight away. Yay for me, but I'll show myself out of the thread...

Living Colour was my favourite band in the very early 90s, and Biscuits was the very first CD I bought.

A friend of mine was in a band that played in a battle of the bands at MIT. Had a cassette copy of their performance, I'll probably never hear that again.

music i created on music for ps1


lost the memory card.

rip jammin' and poonin' around.

For years in the late ‘90s the song that held a spot like this for me was “Stars” by Hum. I’d hear it on the radio once…every few months? Or maybe once a year? And for a number of years I didn’t know the name of the band, because it would be one of those songs played late at night with no intro by a DJ and then it’d cut straight to an ad. This was back when I would listen to WBCN every afternoon and hover over the “record” button before every new song played so I could immortalize it to cassette, but this song only came on at weird hours and I was never prepped to get it on tape. Then Napster came along but I probably hadn’t heard it in a few months so it didn’t occur to me to download it and then I faded away from radio and didn’t think about that song for years. I don’t remember exactly when it drifted back into my consciousness but it was probably around the time I started torrenting music, so the ‘05-‘06 range, and I probably downloaded and listened to the whole album for the first time, and it sat on a hard drive for a few more years and completely lost its aura. Maybe one or two of the other songs stood out to me. I got into records and bought a limited edition colored vinyl copy of the album in 2013 and I more than likely listened to it a few times when it arrived. But it’s been close to 13 years since then and I don’t think it’s come out of the jacket. This thread will probably the reason I give it a spin after all these years.
