Burka Blue

Razor sharp

I've only been listening to Wu-Tang Clan for less than 3 years, but I've always thought RZA was the best member during the early days. When I listened to later stuff, like his appearances on the solo albums, I was disappointed. His voice no longer had that sharp-like-a-blade quality... it sounded very dull and jaded. His rhymes also developed a very political and philosophical nature, but his delivery was pretty boring. I think his verses on 36 chambers and the gravediggaz 1st album were his prime. Even if I don't like the beats on the later Wu-Tang albums (I prefer the low budget sound), the other members seemed to really develop their skills. RZA, what happened?

Like Hi-Standard much?

So, I'm also selling off my prized collection of Hi-Standard 7 inch records. I have the Snuff tribute compilation and "In the Brightly Moonlight" (both on Snuffy Smile), the Promo only "1995 Special Not For Sale" EP (different recordings EXCLUSIVE to this record), the split with Legitime Defonce from France (on HG Fact), the "I Don't Need Trouble Because of... Money" EP (released on guitarist Ken's label, Pizza of Death [in the early incarnation]), and the split with Wizo from Germany (on white vinyl from Hulk Records). As a bonus, I'll include the band's early demo from their days as a 4-piece on CD-R if some crazy collector wants to buy them all. Email me offers at CHRIS(at)CATFOODMONEY.ORG

A man of the people

So this blog may cease activity after Blogger disables FTP for posting... lame!

And I still miss this guy:

Where do you keep the pop?

The illustrious Jon Fu (who is known mostly in his roles as the pizzaman in March of the Penguins, and Shinobu) is now playing drums with The Commitments in Japan!



Don't forget to check out his work in Kitschy Guyz too, jerk!

A new release?

Yeah, after two and a half years without a release of any kind, it's a little hard to call yourself a record label. Am I right? Yes.

I should have a new digital, free download release coming soon. "You're gonna come in your seat, I swear"... and hopefully not long after, a release that's been planned for well over a year - a cat compilation! Uh, what?

It will be a compilation of bands that I consider friends playing songs that are either about cats, or at least loosely linked to cats somehow. The bands that have currently agreed to put a song on this thing are The Albert Square, Nope Ople (ex members of No People), Shinobu, Four Tomorrow, Seventeen Again, Party Garbage, and if some people aren't too lazy, Sexy Breakfast. There's two or three more bands that may also be on it as well. If all goes well, this will hopefully be a 10" or 12" LP. You wanted sexy, you got sexy!
