Why on earth are most of Killdozer's cd's now out of print???

This wasn't really a job handicap because most bands had zero desire to do anything when having their pictures taken other than stopping having their pictures taken. This meant that small talk was limited. However, photographers are often paired with writers and you know how we love to talk shop.

He would often find himself in conversations about bands that he had zero idea about. None whatsoever. So he devised two pat answers that he said were useful in nearly all of the discussions he wound up in:

"I like their earlier stuff better."

and

"They remind me of Killdozer."

This thread reminded me of this and it made me smile, so thanks.

Best song is impossible to pick. That's like asking me to pick one Happy Flowers song.

I see this page is of interest:

Order page for the reissue of The Last Waltz album (on CD, at least -- separate page has the vinyl run)

I haven't heard the AC/DC cover (or the original, I don't think) or "Disco Inferno", but I'd like to find those.

"Final Market"

This song tells the inspiring story of a youth, exploited by his employer (1), a ruthless newspaper distributor. Finally, the Peoples' Revolution arrives (2), and the lad justifiably kills his boss.

(1) Weil, Simone. Oppression and Liberty. Amherst: University of Massachusetts, 1973.

(2) Lunn, Arnold Henry Moore. The Science of World Revolution. London: Sheed and Ward, 1938.

I was at their last chicago gig in 1996(97?) at the empty bottle. Mike told me "Everyone comes up to us on this tour and asks why we're quitting. and we tell them if all the shows were like this, we would keep playing. But the only way to do that is to tell them it's our last show!"

At last report, he's lawyering in NYC. I would pay to see him before a jury.
"Your honor, my asshole could make a better case than the Prosecution!"

Oh, here we go...

Thing is, I can hear him growling these out as songtitles.

Oh yeah, and I don't trust anyone who thinks otherwise.

The most amazing sort of critic was one who praised us adoringly early on, but when Touch & Go left Detroit, where this critic lived, we became his fave example of shit music. I think we took the brunt of his anger over what he perceived as betrayal by T&G for pulling out of Wheel City. He's a music scribe for the Village Voice now, but that's not to say he grew up.

Three guesses, guys.

"I was a food-service employee at the University of Wisconsin, but all I ever had to do was encourage people to wash dishes. And then I'd to watch TV in my boss's office. I became a big fan of 21 Jump Street. I felt that there was no reason all my co-workers couldn't keep their houses filled with coffee and ice cream from the stockroom. Dan got fired from a job like that for eating bacon."

Dan Hobson continues to live in Madison, WI, where he is a nurse, happily married, and raising two (at last count) beautiful children.
Bill Hobson lives in rural Southern California where he is happily married and raising an untold number of beautiful children. He works in the movie biz as a grip.

As a bonus:
Paul Zagoras lives on a farm outside of Madison, WI, with his beautiful wife that he imported from Japan. Nobody knows what Paul does for a living.

Erik Tunison lives in Amsterdam with a lady (the last I heard), where he manages a hipster night club and gets high all the time.

Jeff Ditzenburger lives in Milwaukee with his wife. What more needs to be said? Children may or may not be involved.

awesome.

I can't believe this is the guy I last saw when standing next to him in the urinals of Leicester Princess Charlotte, dressed in rhinestone-studded faux-cowboy get-up. (That's Gerald not me, btw).

I've been looking for Killdozer shirts on ebay for years. Mostly I give up and buy something that looks like what they're wearing in the above photo (which has been hanging over my desk for ten years).
