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.

a few years ago there was a petition seen at like coffee shops and record stores in new orleans that was like BRING PIERCED ARROWS TO NEW ORLEANS, but they had played there pretty recently (in 2009) (and it was awesome). also who was being petitioned? bookers? fred and toody? city hall?

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 - but so many songs about dying/grave/time has come/too far gone/remember me/... , it's very hard to listen now :-(
― StanM, Friday, 10 November 2017 21:00 (six years ago) link
Oh no, RIP. I love that band.

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...
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 11 November 2017 02:09 (six years ago) link
yes, the documentary is excellent, definitely gonna watch it again soon
― sleeve, Saturday, 11 November 2017 02:22 (six years ago) link
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.

A post by the Mississippi Records guy who's doing the book (I hope kickstarter won't force them to redo the whole process now the signed edition won't be signed anymore) + someone made a Dead Moon Family Tree mixtape on Pandora (in the comments) that's only for people in the USA :-/

3rd & final Rats LP is finally out on Water Wing, looks fantastic!
https://www.waterwingrecords.com/shop/ww27mor1?
6 years of work went into remixing and remastering this version - with Fred Cole twisting knobs and obsessing over it's every detail and then Greg Shadoan and Tim Stollenwerk finishing the job. One of Fred Cole's greatest records and impossible to find for many years - at last this LP is available as it was meant to be heard. Play it loud....
First Pressing includes a 40 page booklet and a xerox replica of a Rats show poster!

<3Pulled out Thirteen Off My Hook, amazing to realize I bought it nearly 30 years ago! "I'm still a loner without many friends" (from "Kicked Out Kicked In") jumped out after reading that interview with Toody ("“In a weird way I don’t feel like I’m without him. We were both always loners -- we were just loners together. So now I’m a loner alone.”)"War Baby" just started, never fails to set me off
― willem, Friday, 11 October 2019 17:42 (four years ago) link
was in line for a drink before the Mekons show in Seattle last July and they were playing "Poor Boy" before the show started, me and the guy ahead of me in line spontaneously went into the "pissed off, pissed off, pissed off, it's just the way I am" chorus together and high fived.
