Various Artists- Mish Mash Mush Maximum Mega Mix Vol. 3 (2000)


After almost a month of silence we're back, completing the initial 3-volume cycle of the Mat Brinkman-curated Mish Mash Maximum Mega Mix.  A bunch more volumes would follow later (and are on their way to CDRchive eventually) but the first three were released together with the same ultra-basic jewel case packaging, rubber-banded or scotch-taped together as a bundle.
This third volume comes packing some solid star power, featuring future noise heavyweights Wolf Eyes (doing a live cover of "Wild Thing"!), Lightning Bolt, Forcefield and Magas, as well as Sinking Body (Neil from Men's Recovery Project), Morph Brinkles (Mr Brinkman himself), {Barkley's} Barnyard Critters (Brian Gibson's ultraviolent cartoon animal band) and a ton more. Bright-eyed synthpop, filthy tape noise, grimy dirge rock and lo-fi folk all intermingle in a gloriously unmastered mess of awesome. And as with the first two volumes, there's plenty of unidentifiably mysterious one-off weirdness to keep you on your toes.

History here, friends. Harken back to a time when any combination of these freaks could have shared a bill together, before underground niche-ism took over and fucked up everybody's good time.

Much more to come, sooner than later this time.
