I'm suspicious of different drugs being used to describe someone's music. How is that going to help someone like DJ Rick? The lazy imaginations that are working blue in the blog rock mist are the bacteria that swim up the urine streams along the Amazon river. They need a chlorine bath. Sunshine, when's the last time you washed heretics in chlorine and sodium flouride. They have no third eye to calcify.

...this is well said thank you.

Any of you motherfuckers even listened to this or just flapping your vagina lips about what you read?

Davey, dropping quotes doesn't really work 'round here.... should have just dropped the link....

... really wasn't trying to sell anything with these quotes, I mean, I did just turn thirty-six today, I'm unemployed, my two year old turns three the day after christmas, my home has been forclosed upon,  my wife divorces people for a living,and i like to read bad music journalism for a silent chuckle when i'm taking a shit. a have four track I'm bored. Fuck ME and  Fuck you too. sorry.

"Sounds EXACTLY like early Sebadoh."

really?

"Take of some of the drugs that Pink Reason has lived on and give them to Skip Spence when he was recording "Oar". "
-mr. transistor., Smashing Transistors

" Feedback gives way to tape loops that then gives way to rattly acoustic guitars and pie tin cymbal crashes. gets noisier as it goes on culminating with AmRep recorded on one bargain priced mic slime."
-Mr. Transistor, Smashing Transistors

"rarely in tune, forcibly out of tune, in continual catch-up with their own rhythms, missing strings, rambling fuck-outs, rolling eyelids, quarter-consciousness, beer and whisky rivers, drug swamps. Were they the Butthole Surfers as prodigious math-rockers, or, Polvo as wasted cretins?"
-W.O.W, World of Wumme

DAVID HYDE LOVES (AS*)US

("Altered States of the United Snakes (AS*US) ?Executive Suites? EP
If I gave this a blind listen, I?d probably guess that it?s a Columbus, Ohio release. I?m not sure what that says except maybe that there is some groupthink going on among the city?s musicians. On this demo, AS*US have the following going for them: great color copied collage artwork, endearingly sloppy hand-written notes (lyrics, I think, but the emphasis here is in the slop), and the music has its moments??Radio. Tape. Deck.? and ?Coat of Arms? stand out. But the highlights are buried among the unnecessarily long jams that dominate the disc and make listening a chore. The twelve minute ?Executive Suites? is particularly painful and the twenty-four minute live set at the end blends into a single, unmemorable track (even the reprised versions of songs that I like from the studio material drag here).(DH)

ATAT #105(b)

My Uncle Wayne.
Colonial HIlls 7"

side b:
trk:1. Pilgrim Soul


This song,
as well as another(FANCY LINES),
were written for the MIKE REP SESSIONS.
Both songs were re-recorded in full wayne manor. Pilgrim Soul was released on the "Beat Hits" single as well as the unreleased "EXILEDfromOHIO" lp. Fancy Lines(rep version) was never released.Fancy Lines full spectrum sound version was placed on the unreleased "EXILEDfromOHIO" lp as well(will post someday).

Mike Mckeegan:Guitar
Davey HIghben:Guitar/voice.
REP:tapes/Organ.

*Funny thing about fancy lines. like I said I was working out the details of this song days before I was to record it with Mike. I had most of the lyrics in place except for the very end. I was sitting by the window, that looked out on to
Summit St. going through it over and over.
at this time I had this cat "oscar stanly". The window was open, it was summer, mmm, things were getting going, when all of a sudden the cat jumps up into the window from the street below (a good 5 and one half feet).There on the sill was the cat with a Live Crow, bigger than he, in his mouth.
Oscar let the crow go and it proceeded to fly around the little apartment.

and just like that the song was finished with:

and my fancy Himalayan Lines
are folded by your conscience
into tiny little paper dolls
I was interrupted by the crow
that oscar stanly brought home
coincidence?
No Not ALL!"

DAVEY'S To TEN LIST.
"why Adam smith is not on any of the AS*US releases"

1. was worried it might ruin your street credibility if people were to know
you associated with the likes of (AS*)US.
2. thought fleischer might be the first adam to complaion about not getting proper recognition, therefore logic was to release AS*US material (material we believed to be public worthy) in some what of a chronological order.
3. there, at this time, exists no digital copies of anything we have recorded with you.
4.my computer skills are lacking-this fact, along with answer #3, have a direct effect on uploading any music at all.
5. congress has held no hearings to determine who or what releases are worthy for public consumption.
6. too busy making top ten lists.
7. wasn't sure if your home label would approve of, what they would consider, your guests services. Tho here at AS*US we consider you one of our own.
8.(can't reall make out my notes here, shit, i have to skip 8.
9. wanted to post newer material that featured you on it. (this material has yet to be recorded(?)!
& #
10. I was saving the GOOD SHIT for the CDR release-duh!

My Uncle Wayne.
Colonial Hills 7"

side:a
trk:1. Colonial Hills

lovingly fucked with by Mike Rep
@the Used Kids Annex.
1998
spilt milk recordings.
100 pressed on pink wax.

Jenny Mae/Trumpet.  (There's a bar around the corner...assholes!)
Mike McKeegan/Guitar
Davey Highben/Guitar.voice.
Rep/Tapes.


All I really remember about these sessions was that Mike had just got this new four track he was going to "try out" on us. I really didn't know who Mike was at the time I was pretty new to town. He insisted that we record acoustically, which was fine for me since i wrote everything that way. Well Right off the bat Mike was having problems with his new equipment and after about 45 minutes of fuckery he was ready to go...but first!!! Mike looked like he was struck with the revelation of a lifetime, or rather that moment and in a dash he sprang from his stool, mysteriously produced a joint and turned out the shop lights at the exact same time. Then with a clap, dashing Christmas lights came about and chased themselves around the store with clouds of smoke filling the room. It was at this time Jenny Mae showed up with trumpet in one hand and a practically empty bottle of Gin(?)in the other- it might of been whiskey-I don't remember, I'm no journalist!

Forever since then when ever I see Mike he usually makes some side comment at some time, that usually questions why I never did more with these sessions, the "tossing of the coals", as he liked to call it, but truth be told- I always felt more comfortable singing behind a twisting, turning, churning, morphing, wall of sound and recording with Mike took that all away,It left me vulnerable in the realization of all that was transpiring around me at that point and time in my life...(what the hell am I talking about?)
anyway,
so here it goes...

enjoy.

"...I imagine I could yet I never do,
when I'm alone at home I sit around
and think of you...la la la la la la ..."

AS*US.
the altered states of the united snakes

1.
2.don't need you.
3.all this crude noise.
4.Devils, Drugs, or Doctors?
5.the selfish shellfish

(32:37)


This was the night, my friends, it all came together. You have to realize,first and foremost,that before this night the 5 of us had never even been in the same room together. Three of us perhaps once or twice, but not five. we had four short song ideas, some bat wings, and a witches prayer. A little slow to start-like deer in head-lights, but we got ourselves together...and ran like a heard of hungry savages...HA! ( this moment in black history was also on the bill)

Mat Bisarro/drum
Fred Phenning/bass
Adam Fleischer/guitar tapes
Tom Derwint/guitar keys voice
Davey Highben/ guitar/ voice

"dude, that was awesome, you guys are like noise rock greatful dead or something.."
-some guy at this show.

"this time down the cycles not round yet it is rather incomplete and your so neat wearing your manufactured grief on your back but not for you but just for the fact that they may be right but we are living proof that they are not right. we will live life back wards until someday when everyone will squint their pretty eyes and try and say that they were there when we screamed bye without a care the selfish shellfish washed ashore tonight."
