So I don't have to blab away on the Motards thread no more, der hey....
-
A Big influence on "CLOWNING ON BITCHES" and still better than 90% of Times New Viking's stuff.
-
So, proto CLOWNING ON BITCHES is how they should be termed?
-
I can't count the times I've invoked "Negative Guest List."
-
Me neither!
Once my garage becomes a venue, it's gonna be known as "Edge Central." Partly 'cos of the situation here on the edge of edgy South Sac, a block past the southern limit of what is considered prime residential real estate in Sacto, and partly because of the TJSA song.
-
I can play Negative Guest List 7" forever and not get bored. Baboon's Liver is one of the most exciting songs ever written. Something about it just thrills my senses.
-
The only records I ever spent collector money on was "Career Interruption Code" 7" and the TJSA split with Monster Truck Five. $25 each. Even though I had a copy of the "Shave the Baby" comp for my car. That was my pizza delivery soundtrack of 1994.
-
I can't find my Shave The Baby CDR. Bullshit.
Somebody needs to collect and reissue Monster Truck Five.
-
i just sold a copy of the monster truck five split on ebay for $9.99.
to a new zealander.
SOME FUCKING FANS.
-
Found the TJSA/Monster Truck 5 split and the Punk Rock Secret 7"s for 3 bucks each the other day.
Very pleased.
Everyone hear 'bout Ron House cutting ties with Used Kids? End of an era.
-

I paid that exact amount for the MT5 split today to a fellow termboer (though it included shipping to Finland)! Funny timing for this thread. Shave the Baby comp staid in the car cd player for weeks. There's one song on that comp though that's really really bad, don't remember the bands name now and I'm too lazy to look it up. But yeah TJSA rules. It's funny how many of my favourite bands from the 90s come from Columbus.
-
Somebody needs to put Straight to Video out on vinyl.
That record is just as great as Bait and the early singles.
Think it'd sell 500 copies?
-
I thought it was funny that TSJA was name-checked in that awful piece of claptrap A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers.

I bought mine at a record swap at the Epicenter Zone in SF from a guy named Roger who put out that Insults LP and The Mad 12"....was it Brain Transplant Records?

I'd buy one. I'm listening to it on my headphones right now. "She's got a body like a lightnin' rod!"

that's funny. the copy i just sold belonged to a guy named roger. and he ran brain transplant.
-
He had his wife and baby with him at the record swap.
-
I can't think of better major label releases over the last 2 decades...weird that they were even picked up.
-
that's a man who had his priorities straight.
he's a good friend of mine. those records i sold were the remnants of his trade/sale piles.
-

that was all kugelbergo's doing, as i understand it.
-
I believe, yes, I bought my Hackamore Brick Lp off Roger at that same swap (which I organized) as well as both of the Brats 45s, which he termed "crap". I also saw Ickums swapping a Gynecologists 45 for something, sorry, "tasty" right after I conducted my biz.
I guess I can't call TJSA underrated or anything anymore.
-
I'm from Indiana and all, but do other people actually like the Gynecologists?
-
i found the gynecologists' record in phx for $2. it was on ebay within hours. what a worthless piece of shit. actually, i take that back; it was worth $104.

He also did that Bobby Soxx and the Teenage Queers LP.
-
Found an old mid-90's CMJ Magazine that had a blurb about TJSA. Of course I had no idea about them then, but wish I had. I finally dug into their stuff a year or two ago and it's all quality stuff. One of the best bands that I've found out about in recent years.
I'd definitely love to see some vinyl of these things turn up or a singles collection or something.

School me on Great Plains. Required records by them?

They were always a great band, saw them at one of the Anyways fests. Always funny seeing Ron House plowing down the street on his way to Used Kids with a cooler of beer and a black and white television.

Wow ... I had no idea that anyone, aside from me and the handful of Columbus-music obsessives that I hang out with, liked TJSA and all things Ron House as much as I do! This is awesome to me.
I actually didn't realize until very recently that this label/website exists, I think Paul Nini, who was in Great Plains and other Cbus bands, runs it:
http://www.old3c.com/home.html (http://www.old3c.com/home.html)
They have "You Lookin' for Treble?" that CD collection of early TJSA stuff I mentioned on the Motards thread, the 2 CD Great Plains set called "The Length of Growth--'81-'89" and lots of other Ron House-related releases.
TJSA are namedropped in that douchbag bible "A Heartbreaking Work ..."??? Are you serious? Ewwww. I haven't read that thing, but I know I hate it already.
-

Cyrus does. If I'm not mistaken, one of his bands does/did a cover or wants to....and he has their demo & made me a copy.
-

In the KDVS new vols class, even before TNV and Psychedelic Horseshit became favorites, we included the lesson of Ohio as a center of regionally distinct music before, during, and since the punk heyday, and the lesson has always explained that when the Eels were banished from Cleveland, they took terrorizing Columbus, and certain very stridently individualistic, philosophically untouchable beacons developed, and we mention Ron House by name in this lesson.
-
I always thought "Cheater's Heaven" off the LP (and promo 7") was a classic example of "lfw" pop.
-
I want to take that class, DJ Rick! It sounds amazing. Thanks for helping to mold the next generation of record nerds.

On topic, sort of: Ron House "Blind Boy in the Backseat" tp needs a proper vinyl reissue (a la Tommy Jay). What a totally awesome release.

That's the "Career Interruption Code" 7".
I'd totally buy that Ron House reissue if it came out.
I used to have a really good impression of him, or so said a fellow fan. That was back when I was the pizza man blasting that shit in my stereo, and I'd be adenoidal-ranting at top volume levels, causing people sometimes to call the pizza place I worked at to ask if the guy with the brown Volvo is crazy.

I still think this band is underrated and I still think unseemly thoughts about your younger sister. Coincidence? NO. I hear Ron House liked to grope females. It's all about tradition and nocturnal emissions.
Prolly one of the best bands of the 90's... I admit, I didn't really know it at the time... I was stupid.. But, you know, you can't kill stupid... Just bury it and let something better grow!!!
They were the first band I ever heard cover the Electric Eels and I was impressed by that fact. It was the 90's. On a major label subsiderary (sic). That was taking a chance. I remember a band I was in for awhile (Sagger) trying to cover the same song and sounding like a pile of shit, so I could hardly hold a candle to what TJSA did with the same fucking song... Ohio will always beat Wisconsin, I guess... It's something I have to get used to... I mean... Favorite bands from Wisconsin = 1 (Killdozer) Favorite bands from Ohio = a whole bunch!!! Oh, how I wish Wisconsin didn't have such performance anxiety and would relate to the land it came from and produce a similar spuzz... Much time has been wasted by wastoid bands from Wisconsin trying to sound like California or Liverpool.... Let me snooze while you lose, assholes!!!
Now, everybody has a weird-proto-punk card in their wallet. Fuck them.
-

Tar Babies
X-Posed Foreheads
etc.
-
appliances-sfb

appliances-sfb
That too...
None of these bands are as good as Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, though, except Killdozer... who firmly embraced Wisconsin culture (even though none of em' were "natives"). Go figure. Bands from Ohio seemed to like to be from Ohio and it paid off... Too many Wisconsin bands wanna be from somewhere else, and this problem still continues to this day, outside of places like Algoma...
-
bradx's joyless knothead

Bradx's Joyless Knothead would be Wisconsin's response to Ohio's Ego Summit... A supergroup of Wisconsin losers!!!

The sad thing is, I've been thinking of it:
Get together:
me (naturally)
Kevin De Broux
BradX
Mike Zink
Casey Buhr
Gustav Graf
Pete Hendricks
etc.
and just play eachothers songs and make a record. It'd be tits. But to get everyone to do it...

eh, but it doesn't really matter, killdozer still trumps anything the other 49 states can offer up.
-

True on just about every level possible.
-
To add to the orignal idea of this thread, "Old Guy Lo Fi Cry" is really fucking good. TJSA rule again. Never put out a bad record, even at the end. I wish I'd seen em' more than just once (especially since I only seen em' in the echo pit of Chicago's Cabaret Metro.. an upfront small bar experience woulda turned my nipples into rockets, bitch!!!)...
-
Let me tell you a story...
A day after the only day I saw Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, Aluminum Knot Eye played a gig to mostly straigt-edge skinheads.... A fight nearly ensued because we "didn't play fast enough and were drinking onstange"... It was a fuckoing basement! Just when things were getting violent (1997 was a difficult year for straight-edge-skins, I guess), a friend of ours escorted the potential brawlers outside and when they came back in they were crying... What the fuck? Oh well! We continued on with our shit (and, at the time it was shit)... But the next day we got burglarized, losing instruments and recorded documents and such... Shit happens, and we dealt with it... TJSAments are/were gods!!!
-
and when they came back in they were crying...
Oh, those were some of my EmoSkin crew.
Reminds me of hanging out with a skinhead buddy of mine just post-high school and watching him drink a 30 pack of Coors, eating a hit of acid, and then falling asleep. Years later he almost beat a dude to death.
-
I only saw TJSA once, when I lived in Columbus. It was AnywayFest. Gaunt and Geraldine were also on the bill. Well, I might've seen 'em once more at Bernie's but fuck if I can remember for sure. I do remember a Cheater Slicks show there and getting crazy drunk and screwing the scene queen. Memories!
-
It sounds like you had more opportunities than me, so fuck you!
-
THis whole thread was created for what I like to call a REASON!!!
-
Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments are nothing short of amazing. "Bait and Swith" is masterful.
Killdozer is still beyond though. The greatest band of all time.
-
Shave the Baby comp staid in the car cd player for weeks. There's one song on that comp though that's really really bad, don't remember the bands name now and I'm too lazy to look it up.
greenhorn?
Pica Huss?
I was referring particularly to Big Red Sun. God, what garbage. But yeah, you could say there's quite a few weaker tracks on the comp, but then the good one's are so great that they make up for it. Besides the TJSA tracks I really dig that Great Plains song at the end of the cd.
-
Me 'n a few others here have been very impressed with/well-schooled in all things Ohio, so when I drove Pink Reason to Columbus, everyone was looking at me weird when I was rambling about "there's Mike Rep! There's Ron House!" and all that. They didn't seem to share the thought that Mike's not just some weird old wasted dude, he's a legend! To me! I got to hang out with him quite a bit, smoked his j's and Shaun & I finished off his whiskey flask and talked about the Packers with him for an hour. A serious high point for me in terms of meeting people I never thought I'd meet. Never got around to Ron, and was bummed. But I saw him! He looks like a science teacher now. Awesome! Some buddies & I listened to Great Plains all the time in college, and when I moved back to 'Point a few years later, we blasted TJSA all the time and Skaught & I played 'em on our punk show weekly and got the other doofus jocks to play 'em on regular rotation ("it's a major label release, dude, people love this shit!"). Long live Ohio, hi in the middle and round on both ends.
-
I really wanna try to go to Columbus this year. I've never been...
-
By "jocks" I meant "DJs," I've always loved sports and have no problem with people who play 'em or watch 'em all the time. Jocks rule! And yeah, you should go to Columbus some time, make sure the people you wanna meet show up and you'll have a wondermous time.
-
Illustrated discography is here, although I should really sit down with it again and see if there's anything I need to update:
http://www.collectorscum.com/datapanik/tjsa/
Someone here asked about Great Plains. A good place to start is the Colorized LP greatest hits collection from the UK. There's a guy on eBay Stores always selling them for $5 sealed. I have a spare as well, but value it higher than that so I guess I'll be sitting on it.
-
Bottle Island covered here:
http://www.myspace.com/thewillfoster (http://www.myspace.com/thewillfoster)
I kept hearing all these hip hop songs talking about elevators so I thought Bottle Island's time had come.

A couple of the E. Eels lived in Columbus for a time but the band had absolutlely no musical presence there.

I hear Ron House liked to grope females.
I always heard that, too, but he never, ever groped me, not once. That makes me sad.
I think someone else somewhere on here put in a plug for his solo "Obsessed" album, and having just listened to it for the 1st time in a while today I'd have to recommend it. Very sad and very, very funny.
Everyone please feel free to come to Columbus and party ... anytime!
-
Wuz listenin' to them a bunch tonight, and would like to see this thread re-appear. So, thusly...

Ron House is playing tonight in Columbus, solo.
And if anyone was planning a road trip to Columbus the Slave Apts are playing Comfest this Summer.
I think June 27th is the day they're playing.
-
We're coming to Columbus tonite.
-
Great timing Lane!
I walked from House's house to Ruby Tuesday with him on the night of the show. As we reached Summit there was a group of Buckeye frat boys on their porch and they began yelling at us--not in a totally obnoxious way--"Hey guitar man, what's in the case?"
"Cheap Canadian knockoff."
"Hey guitar man, play us a song."
House whips out his guitar, jumps on a huge tree stump in their front yard and gives them about a minute of an obscure GP song "Aesthetic Insanity." The song starts out w/ a dick tattooing and the excerpt ended with the word "cornhole."
At the beginning the frat boys were smirking and elbowing each other. By the end they were staring dumbfounded. Someone--maybe me--yelled "clap" and they did.
There's yr fuckin' punk rock.
House killed at the actual show doing the aforementioned tune, another GP obscurity about a hamburger boy and a cover of an acid archives folk number "The Superlative Life Is Free."
Rep and the Quotas, up next, killed, a thousand times better than X was the next night at the Newport and X weren't too bad either.
I don't know if that tree stump's name was Desire but it should have been.
-
Wow, I just saw this story ... looks like the best show of the weekend happened on a tree stump in the front yard of a frat house.
-
Oh man....wish I coulda seen that!!
-
Like I said, TJSA is playing Comfest (cheesy/sometimes awesome hippie-ish local community festival) on June 27th (official now). It is free. Outdoors, in a park. And the Cheater Slicks are playing Comfest the same day, probably directly before or after.
I want to see as many out of town-bos as possible for this. It will be a blast.
-
I'll be at a wedding that weekend; otherwise, I'd give flying out some serious thought.
-
I'd like to come see that. Seems like a bus trip is in order.
-
Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a frat house, but I can smell frat boys a mile away and the smell is not pleasant.
-
I was at the show, but missed all the good bands while I was trying to find parking. Unreal. Still had a lot of fun hanging out with my elders. Then went over to Laura's and partied with her and Greg until morning. Lotsa fun!
-
Tell the truth Lane. You were getting your boogie on to that reggae/polka/prog band w/ the milkmaid lead singer. The one all your fellow youngsters dug. Quite embarrassing really.
-
I'll be in Columbus on the 27th. Stoked! I think Psych HS are playing somewhere that night, too.
Yankees/Pirates in Pitt on the 26th.
V A C A T I O N ! ! !
-
When these guys first came out (I hadn't heard Great Plains), I couldn't get past the dude's voice. All this acclaim on here sent me back, and I just can't get enough.
Being wrong- one of the best parts of music obsession.
-
I'll be in Columbus on the 27th. Stoked! I think Psych HS are playing somewhere that night, too.
Whoa, you're right.
Psychedelic Horseshit and Fabulous Diamonds. Free at Carabar.
And last night I got word that Guinea Worms and Necropolis are also playing Comfest that Friday. Unholy Two and El Jesus de Magico are playing Saturday.
Whatta weekend that will be.
-
Fuckin' travel prices are so expensive these days and they're just going up. Everytime TJSA plays Columbus I'm out of town. Pisses me off! GAH!

Kevin I'd love to see what you're doing for money right now. I know it can't involve sex or drugs because you wouldn't be embarrassed to tell us that. Do you work for a lawyer? Are you a nanny?
Also, someone help me think of an excuse to help me get to Comfest this year ... my mom wants me to go to my great-uncle's party in honor of his retirement from the priesthood and "I have to watch old men play rock and roll and take mushrooms in a park" probably won't wash with her.

Tell your mom to stop oppressing you. Or that priests freak you out or something.

Can anyone give me more info on Comfest? Like any of the other bands playing, when shit starts, etc...Termbo Express is taking a ride down for this. Is it free? Etc...they havent updated the official website yet and just trying to plan in advance. Also, is there anywhere to camp nearby. Or just park and sleep in a van.

Hey, thanks for the mention LauraB. Yes, the Old 3C label is headquarters for most things Ron House related, including his solo records and the TJSA and Great Plains releases. Please see the below list of what's available Ron-wise, and feel free to check out our other records too. Use the above link to see more, hear some songs, link to download sales sites, etc. Got any questions? -- info@old3c.com
And if any of you managed to see any of the recent Great Plains shows with Big Dipper in Hoboken, Brooklyn and Cambridge, then I hope you had a good time -- I know we did. As mentioned previously, TJSA are playing Comfest in late June, and there's talk of yet another Great Plains show in July, at the parking lot blow-out next to the Surly Girl in Columbus' Short North. We'll see you there.

Comfest is free. The beer is very not free. It is, however, extremely easy to bring your own booze into the park and extremely hard to get busted for doing so.
The comfest committee usually take for frigging ever to get the official lineup posted. The only bands I know for sure are Cheater Slicks, Guinea Worms, Necropolis, and TJSA on friday. I don't know official times but they're all playing between like 3 and 9pm. I also don't know anything about who's playing sat or sun. I think things kick off at noon each day.
There's nowhere good to park nearby, but there are plently of folks in town who'd be willing to put you up for a night or three.

I can't responsibly recommend the festival in its entirety. There are lots of drum circles, slam poetry, feminist spoken word workshops, shitty funk bands, bad white-guy dancing, etc. etc. But it is definitely cool to drink beer (and do other things) outside for a few days and just party, party party your hippy ass off. Also, there are obviously some decent bands among the dreck. Luckily they shove all the good bands onto one out-of-the-way stage so you don't have to walk around and risk polluting your ears with jam bands.

:(
I just got a job. I suck. I hate needing money. You should see what I'm considering doing for money right now. If my fifteen year old self could meet me right now, he'd shoot me in the face without thinking twice.
Kevin I'd love to see what you're doing for money right now. I know it can't involve sex or drugs because you wouldn't be embarrassed to tell us that. Do you work for a lawyer? Are you a nanny?
Also, someone help me think of an excuse to help me get to Comfest this year ... my mom wants me to go to my great-uncle's party in honor of his retirement from the priesthood and "I have to watch old men play rock and roll and take mushrooms in a park" probably won't wash with her.
Tell your mom to stop oppressing you. Or that priests freak you out or something.
screw comfest get right with god

I appreciate your concern for the state of my soul, Chris.
In more Portage, PA news I went back there this weekend to visit my family. My sister and her boyfriend, aka Rich of Psychedelic Horseshit, came with. So impressed were my aunt and uncle with Rich's appearance in Spin/Vice/MTV, they asked him to give MUSIC CAREER ADVICE to my 17-yr-old cousin, who plays drums in a band. Those of you who know Rich realize that letting him give life advice to a teenager is both hilarious and imprudent. Of course, I was chastised for giving him similar advice (I just told him to avoid music school if he wanted to continue to enjoy music).
-
Rich to kid: "OK, now, y'see, first ya gotta get yerself a box. A nice looong box with solid corners. Then, the rest just comes. Boom! Instant John Bonham."

Then hold box in front of your crotch and say, "Whoaaaaa!" and you have an instant penis joke.
-
I think my cousin should spend a weekend hanging out with Matt and Rich to find out how to REALLY make a band: "First, get some babes. Get a LOT of babes. Then do a bunch of coke. Don't ever BUY an instrument--you can find them laying around. Stay high all the time. Don't practice. Or tune. That's for pussies. Try hard to sound like My Bloody Valentine. Shit-talk famous and popular bands. Be on MTV!"
-
Shit damn! I think I need to visit this Columbus, Ohio place sometime soon! June 27 sounds like it could work. I would wade through a lake of vomit to see Cheater Slicks. TJSA, shit, I would wade through a lake of boiling hot vomit to witness their majesty! Yes!
-
The only bands I know for sure are Cheater Slicks, Guinea Worms, Necropolis, and TJSA on friday.
Cool, just found out I'll in Columbus for this!
I'm glad this line-up is on Friday cuz I'll be doing family shit on Saturday.
-
Family shit? We were thinking about coming on Saturday to party! Can't make it on Friday.
-
Come down! I can hook up with you guys Saturday evening to PARTAYYY.
Have a family reunion during the day but hopefully I make it back in time to catch Unholy 2 at 9pm.
-
I will buy my one lottery ticket per year for tomorrow's draw. There's a 1 in 70,000,000 chance I will be there. What are some good numbers to play? 2 for Unholy 2. 27 for the date. 4 / 23 / 01 for zip code. What is Ron House's birthdate?
-
10-9-56

I totally wish I was at Comfest right now. Someone needs to take video of at least TJSA.
-
There will be video. Probably from multiple people. I'll try and get a few songs....
-
I'm headin down there in about 10 minutes. I'd video TJSA but my video camera is in NY.
-

Me too, but then I'll get there and be like "FUCKING DIRTY HIPPIES!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
I'm counting on TJSA and a funnel cake to make this worth my while.

Too bad the late great Col. band Stupid Fucking Hippie isn't playing Comfest. I believe their fab Stooges tribute song "River" from early '90s is still up at Static Party. Look in the comments and you'll find "Bladder Nut" too. I'm not kidding they did this shit fi metal as well as anyone. They have cuts on some of those Col. comps too Shave the Baby, etc.

who was in that band? the name doesn't sound at all familiar, which is weird cuz I feel like I've heard tons of Columbus comps and I think I'd remember if I'd run across Stupid FUcking Hippie.
-
Yes, you caught me. I made it up. My post was merely a cry for help. NO WAIT!!!
Ted Hatteymeyer bass, Wayne Lin drums, Steve Heink Vocal, Dave Sturges original guitar replaced by a guy named Ben who seemed to be an actual hippie!
Stupid Fuckin' Hippie "River"/"Meadow" (MindWalk Music/Eardrop)
Maybe it's just because of the title, but these tunes kinda remind me of Joe Walsh's "Meadows" - 'ceptin' I kinda like Joe's thing. Then they kinda swing into 70's hard rock territory with buried acid rock vocals and breaks. If I didn't know better, I'd think they were doin' the beginning of "Iron Man" (IIII aaammmm I-ron Man) in "River." The vocals on "Meadow" are a bit off and out there. The sound's better than most lo-fi though. - Joel (from Cringe, Col. webzine; I don't have to tell you the staff do I?)
There's allegedly a video of TJSA's comfest performance at http://www.donewaiting.com/ but I'll be fucked if I can find it.

That was a kick ass show.
Bob Petric has some serious guns.

I agree, on both counts. They played all the hits--"Bottle Island" "Cheater's Heaven" "Rump Government" "Turn it Up" etc. etc. One of the highlights of TJSA's set was Bob's brother John's (well-known local record store owner/music writer/crank/asshole) swan dive into the crowd from the stage. No one caught him.
-
No one caught him.
That was funny. It inspired me to tell my Iggy Pop story to few people. When I saw him he did the same thing and ended up breaking his collar bone or something. Had to end the show after the second song.

this is the most fucking amazing band i've ever heard. thank you red wine.
-
there are moments in life that make you just laugh your ass off with an absurd edge, and this band is facilitating that for me tonight.
-
I'm fucking bored, man, so I'm bumping this thread, because I started it, man...
-
TJSA is playing the Anyway Fest at Ace Of Cups on Dec 22 2012, unless artistic differences intervene.
-
Woo!
-
If anyone "needs" a Bait and Switch I just saw TWO in a shop -- one for $5, which I bought, and another for $10. You can have the one I didn't bought.
-
Awesome band, great "scene" or whatever the right word is.

Resurrecting ancient thread to ask this quesiton:
Is there any exclusive MUSIC on "Are you Looking for Treble?"
I know there are some tracks called "conversations," but is there anything music wise on this that isn't able to be found on a single?
-
There are a few things, nothing that Harry will include when he does the vinyl lol.
