Any hope of seeing more copies of that Swankys boot? Was sad to have missed. Hi, Josh.
Been trying to holler at Zirk to reissue this shit, haven't got a response though.
Where did you find his contact? On facebook?
The guys from this time dont give a shit about it
Like I've been buying from Big Tymez records who put out DJ Screw cds, the guy is so unprofessional it's almost funny. He ripped me off once by the way.

Fit Of Body - Black Box No Cops (thanks to cranefortune/state laughter for the heads up on this one)
Really digging Fit Of Body! It's relaxing, diverse, and has lots of cool ideas.
I couldn't log in due to a glitch, so I'm going to post several compilations I did lately.
First is the tape "Creepin' In Memphis'', that I released along with Poing de Force soundtrack tape, Mobb Deep demo, Triple Six Mafia 'Smoked Out Locced Out'', DJ Screw compilation & others. I also put out new zines, if you want you can follow the instagram page for news: @neonspublishing

I chose ''2 Thick'' (1993) by DJ Zirk as the first song of this mixtape, because to me it's one of the most influential tracks on Memphis rap, on the artists who would shape the "Mempis / Devil Shit" type of rap known to a wider, almost mainstream audience nowadays. Underground, raw and brutal. With samples everywhere, and this saxophone, sampled by DJ Paul for Three Six Mafia's "Playa Hataz'' or Project Pat's "We Gone Rumble" to name a few. Paul and Juicy J of Three Six Mafia used so many parts of this track for their productions that it has become impossible to count every songs including samples from the Buckshot verses in ''2 Thick". Break Da Law '94, Slanging Rocks Pt 2, Drop It Off Yo Ass, Talk Yo Ass Off, Busta Ass Nigga, Nine To Yo Dome, Murders and Robbers, Grab The Gauge.... The list goes on.
The final track, "Cement Shoes" by DJ Spanish Fly is also a pioneer and as been sampled a thousand times. Crucial.

Chicago's punk era music scene doesn't seem to get a whole lot of love from most collector types, but I feel like that's mainly because people are looking in the wrong places. This band's catalog, for example, is excellent and they're virtually written out of history. Their catalog charts a stylistic progression from good, but standard punk with strong female vocals on their first record to really high quality synthpop that wouldn't feel out of place being played by Ron Hardy back when it was released on their last single. In between they played original and occasionally arty punk/new wave that sometimes reminds me a bit of X, but really is all on it's own and moves in a lot of directions, and outside of their lone reggae song, really seems to avoid any horrible stinkers. I was able to track down nearly their whole catalog for less than $20 total.
NZ:

Screen Shot 2018-09-11 at 11.48.51 AM by LL Oidnorton, on FlickrI listened to Screeching Weasel as late as high school. Ugh!Unfortunately for me, I still have a calf tattoo of the SW logo from when I was 19, which is far too late in life to be listening to that band.
As a younger man, I was really into bands like A Minor Forest, Party of Helicopters, Milemarker, Sleepytime Trio, etc. and I really don't know what I was thinking in retrospect.
Yo I actually still ride for Party Of Helicopters.....i love the guitars....vocals too actually....Aged much better than a lot of the screamo era stuff
Yeah I actually got a Party of Helicopters LP (mt forever) a year ago on a whim. I somehow never heard them before and I liked it enough at first, but it really grew on me. I’ve picked up a couple of their other albums and like them too.
Were they screamo? I don’t hear it - just sound like a indie rock band playing heavy NWOBHM riffs. Teeth of the Hydra was REALLY popular in Columbus ten/fifteen years ago (although they were never my thing) and people always made a big deal that their drummer was in PoH - after hearing some of those nasty riffs I can understand why they gave a shit
