13 Nightmares - "Shitride" - This one is such a classic that I snagged 3 more copies when Ron found a stash of records in his basement. Mercy Rule - "God Protects Fools" - If this only contained the songs "My Mouth", "I Am I Said" and "Summer" it would probably still be better than everything else. Sideshow - "Eggplants and Sunspots" - I think I listen to this more often than any other local release. It hits me right............there. Mercy Rule - Bye Bye/Royal 7" - Heide and Jon duet like a motherfucker on "Royal" and then Jon plays a guitar breakdown/solo that should be studied in rock school. Sideshow - Rust/Face Foot Ladder 7" - a different version of "Rust" later appeared on "Lip Read Confusion", but the drumming on "Face Foot Ladder" is worth the price of admission alone. Pawl in all his barefoot glory. Pawl=Rawk. Linoma compilation / Novelty Yellow compilation - Granted, both of these compilations contain some grade-A crap mixed in with the good/great songs, but both are interesting snap shots of Lincoln music. Highlights: Novelty Yellow - St. Nicklehead, Polecat. Linoma: Mousetrap, Rosebud, plus the usual suspects. Sideshow - "Lip Read Confusion" - Sometimes I'll be driving in my car and I'll start singing "Where did all you shattered people, where'd you come from?". The only bad thing about this album is that it was the last from Sideshow. Polecat - Saddle Creek/Chinese Water Torture 7" - Back when "Saddle Creek" was just a road and a Polecat song. But buy this one for the b-side. Red Max - Voodoo Liquor Hotrot 7" - Hey, all you sleazy, garage rock, greaser punks: Find a copy of this, NOW!! It will melt your face. Opium Taylor - "Fade Machine, Fade Magazine" - Heine, Focht, Silcock and Noecker live up to their potential.......you knew they would. Wide - "Gay" - This is just awesome. Probably the most unique CD to ever surface in Lincoln. And it's produced like a champ. Oh, and Thurston Moore liked it..... Booby prize: Mousetrap - "Lover" - Yeah, so this is out of Omaha, but you should still own it. Trust me, you'll love it. p.s. - Most of these records/CDs are still available. If you don't know where, I'll gladly point you in the right direction. Dan is currently in Ideal Cleaners and was also in Sailor Ripley and Teacozy.
