#NowPlaying In 1998, #TheDeadC member #BruceRussell started #XpresswayRecords, which quickly became a vital center for New Zealand experimental music. John and Marc dip into the 1991 compilation for #DragCity, “I Hear the Devil Calling Me” — 12 tracks in less than 12 minutes, and all of them a joy! https://wastoids.com/2024/03/14/i-hear-the-devil-calling-me-drag-citys-xpressway-comp-the-spindle/

https://youtube.com/watch?v=BlOGGWUQrs8&feature=share I’ve heard from a reputable source that Phish is covering The Dead C’s Harsh 70’s Reality in tribute to Philadelphia’s Siltbreeze records this evening, or not. Stephen Malkmus did once proclaim that it’s one of his favorite records ever. It is a dad rock classic of sorts. Dads that loved NZ tape labels of the 80’s and 90’s at least. #TheDeadC #Siltbreeze
