Could it be Malickis Happy Corn Club?

A lyric in the song matches a quote apparently attributed to a chap called Paul Bernardo, and the Malickis apparently did do a song about him
http://www.angelfire.com/ma/bradocreamedcorn/MHCCtopten.html
and their Beatport page
https://www.beatport.com/release/outlander%21-outlander%21-we-have-your-music%21/1679351
kinda has them sounding similar.

Hmmm... I don't think so. Paul Bernardo is a serial killer/rapist and subject of much edgelord material. That does narrow it down though a bit more, Bernardo was caught in 93, so the date on this recording is presumably after that.

What year did you buy it?

It was the Lady From Shanghai tour, so like 2013.

And it looks like there's about 5 character before that, so like The Handboxers or something, first half is completely illegible, that's a complete guess

In a case like this, the easiest way to identify the record might be to read the matrix numbers off the dead wax and do a Discogs or Google search for them.  I bought some unlabeled test pressings from a thrift store a couple of years ago, and it worked like a charm.  One of the records turned out to be the "I Don't Like School" single from the Seattle-area power pop band Wish!

The only etchings are in the runout groove, A side is etched "Brunette" and B side is "Blonde". The faded label is backwards, but I can barely make out that the band name is a "The" something and the something looks like in ends in "oxers".

I ran into a guy at a Pere Ubu show a couple years ago at the bar in the Beachland who had a box of these pink 7"s. I was curious and traded him a record I had. He gave me a short bit about what it was but I was pretty lit up and don't remember a thing, but possibly from the Cleveland area. The label art is completely worn out, there's some imperceptible stuff there, but totally unreadable. I've tried googling the lyrics to it to no avail. Totally blown out sludgy hardcore S&M shit with a bunch of samples. Finally decided to make a shitty rip and see if anyone knows.

Your DJ mixer will be fine. If you're using a laptop for the capture, you might wanna run it on batteries. I know mine produces some really nasty HF noise if I'm using AC power but is fine if its unplugged.

If you can go straight in the line in to a computer, why do people spend some much money on interfaces that they put between their mixers and their computers when they're recording digitally?

More for multitracking, recording instruments. With a multi-input interface you can capture multiple things at once on separate channels. Using the mic in, even if you have multiple signals going into a mixer behind it, the digitized audio will be summed down into one stereo channel. There's also processing options that help with latency when doing overdubs. And the ability to digitize at higher bitrates and resolutions. They're also shielded better than the I/O ports.

OK, so, my DJ turntable should be a good preamp for that? I didn't know if I needed a particular pre-amp for it. It seems like whenever anyone is going any sort of high quality recording to digital they use specialized interfaces or pre-amps.

Your mixer is a pre-amp. It should have (most do anyway) an RCA record out separate from the main out. Run that into an interface into Audacity or whatever DAW you use. You could even plug it straight in to a laptop 1/8" mic jack but it'll sound kinda shitty. That's how I did it in college when I got my professors and friends' parents to kick me their collections while paying me to digitize them.

Who claims This Heat and Magazine in 2016?

That Preoccupations/Viet Cong band, for one.

What are great bands that actually have a high percentage of great disciples? There have been a number of pretty good Gang of Four knockoffs over the years. British Indie scene of the 80s did a good job of plagiarizing The Fall.

I'd wager even the worst band plugging GO4 as an influence is still better than the current incarnation of GO4. I'm not sure exactly what Andy Gill is trying to do, but it's not made by great men.

Rank 'em. Let me guess:

Good:
Cleveland
Columbus

Tolerable:
Cincinnati

Bad:
Dayton
Toledo
Akron

Intolerable:
Youngstown
Canton

?!?:
Lima
Mansfield
Lorain

Akron is actually not that bad these days. Certainly not on the level of Dayton & Toledo. The art museum is nicer than Columbus' and occasionally the remaining DEVO members will pop in for some thing or another.
