It was on sale at Sonic Boom in Seattle when I was up their around the time of the Sub Pop 20 thing.It was only ten bucks! This was three summers ago.Silly.

yeah, must've been someone's pet project at sub pop, probably didn't press too many of them.

what'd be real sweet: a repress of the third rats LP, in a desperate red, which is probably my fave fred/toody joint and not just for obscurity points. it's got a rad postpunky vibe and every single song is so fucking sick.
― pretzel walrus, Thursday, 23 June 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link
I like the first Rats and REALLY REALLY like Intermittent Signals, so In A Desperate Red sounds like it'd be a winner.I asked Fred about that when Pierced Arrows played at a High School in town a couple years ago and he either didn't hear me (quite possible from what I understand of his hearing troubles) or just didn't feel like talking about it.

it's SO GOOD.there's tons of great live footage, and their story is really pretty inspiring imo.

rly wanna see the dead moon doc, a hardcore DM fan said he watched it in tears.

I just bought all three of the reissues this afternoon. They sound great, infinitely preferable to the shitty MP3s I had before. Wouldn't have thought remastering would make such a difference, hats off to Mr. Timothy Stollenwerk.

watching the doc is one of those things that makes me wanna stand up on top of my furniture with my fists in the air like I CAN DO ANYTHING

i signed it fwiw, didnt work

Oh no! I've just gotten into Dead Moon this year, and I saw them live in August--they were so wonderful. Really hope he pulls through.

RIP. this is so sad. i was fortunate enough to share the stage w Pierced Arrows in 2010 and they were the nicest possible people. insane love and respect for these lifers.
i highly recommend the wonderful Dead Moon documentary. it's been years since i've seen it, i should give it a rewatch...

one thing that really amazed me was how DIY they were. they had built their own house. he was cutting his own records on a lathe. so badass.
