Yeay! Tapes Summer 08 Catalog:
(for ordering, read this)

	SAM GAS CAN & SAM PHILLIPS "SAMSCLUB" (Yeay! 027 ) \| 07/08 \| 30 mins/ Cass color photocopy \| $6 \| in stock!) Yeay!'s first split release in ten years! Recently, two great Sams of New England have come to our attention and we couldn't think of a better way to share their brilliance than to corral em & give em each a side of a tape. Sam Gas Can's (from Worcester, MA) side is a single raggedy afghan blanket of a track that has all sorts of gnarls, spills, and hijinks in its construction. The Sam Phillips (from brattleboro, VT) side bounces from floating eyeballs in the swampy zombie bog realm to arid nazca UFO landingstrips. Crack a harmony springs and give yourself a half hour to steep in the elegant brainscape of SamsClub.
	VAPOR GOURDS "Dagger Magic" (Yeay! 026 ) \| 06/08 \| 30 mins/ Cass color photocopy+3 color silkscreen\| $6 \| in stock!) The mysterious Vapor Gourds are the ideal vessel for contaning & compressing electro-staticky puffs deep in the void bath of space. This tape is a catalogue of their aural "Dagger Magic" - items left on the path to darker places, the intertia of mudslides, & subterranean hypno beats.
	BROMP TREB "Twins" (Yeay! 025 / Apostasy / Breaking World Records) \| ?/08 \| 6mins/ 7" vinyl color photocopy \| $6 \| coming!) Two drum & tape collage compositions on our second vinyl record co-released with our friends Breaking World Records & Apostasy! Two weird odes to springtime fertility using crude concréte percussion harmolodics.
	BROMP TREB "Bricktown Shuffle " (Yeay! 024 ) \| 02/08 \| 30 mins/ Cass color photocopy \| $6 \| in stock!) The second of the drumtape series finds Cloaca of Bromp Treb back in the basement with a few more drums & some electronics & slight cassette tactics of pause-&-record editing. More dense collages of 2-track open reel-recorded improvised drum-sketches. Theraputic pings, scrapes, and crashes inna hard-panned stylee.
	FAT WORM OF ERROR "Ambivalence and the Beaker" (never really catalogged, but would've been Yeay! 023 ) \| 11/07 \| 41 mins/ CDR color photocopy \| 0 \| out of print) A few copies of this quickly-assembled CDR are floating around western europe. The jams have been remixed & the art re-done & it is getting a much better release on the magnificent San Francisco label, Resipiscent. Soon, so hang in there.
	QWIKTIME N'SWIFFKUTZ (Yeay! 022 ) \| 11/07 \| 80+ mins/ DVD-R color photocopy \| $8 \| in stock!) Clumsy camera-collage-videos made by Cloaca on tours around the US with Fat Worm of Error in the Summer & Spring of 2007. Includes many scenes of beauty & banality, obscure objects, blurry visions, & moments of clarity, all interspersed with fleeting snippets of various performances by such greats as Rotten Milk & Jennifer Lorraine, Dig Shovel Dig, Skare Krau Radio, Soiled Mattress & the Springs, Tusco Terror, Horse Spirit Penetrates, Sword Heaven, Lexi Mountain Boys... as well as an exceptionally precious sequence with John Allingham & the Cherry Blossoms in Nashville.
	JEREMY LATCH "Love Letters For Everybody"(Yeay! 021 (mislabelled "019" on tape!) \| 09/07 \| 41 mins/ Cass color photocopy \| $6 \| out of print!) Here's a fabulous lo-fi tape-poem by TurnersFalls' preeminent wandering drawing skateramp-making junk sculpting troubador Jeremy Latch. Impromptu (and sometimes unpleasantly familiar) singalongs drift up from aborted man-on-the-street interviews. Bratty interjections cut off overblown live performances. There's even a couple mini-jack-fed, battery-powered, tape-to-tape-overdubbed songs to round out the experience. Jeremy is a hive of bees, gathering & transforming all these varied granules into some very sweet honey.
	BROMP TREB "Audio-Visual Cassette" (Yeay! 020 \| 08/07 \| 26 mins/ Cass color photocopy \| $6 \| out of print) Compositions that waft over the muggy summer air like torn subwoofer poots from a rusty jalopy. A hefty fellow excitedly twirls his manboob pasties made of allegator clips from atop the sunroof. There's a fair amount of good junk in the trunk, as well as some touching digressions, to boot.
	BROMP TREB "illegible graffiti"(Yeay! 018 \| 12/06 \| 22 mins/ Cass B/W photocopy \| $6 \| outta print) The first in a series of drum tapes - it's a pause-&-record collage of two track open reel-recorded improvised drum-sketches. a fairly radical digression from Bromp Treb's typical noised out beats n' fake rap schtick, only just as fun. GRIP.
	FAT WORM OF ERROR "BrickFaced"(Brazilian Wax 2 \| 09/05 \| 46 mins/ Cass in bag & colorcopy \| $6 \| outta print)This surreptitiously mangled & mixed tape by FWOE's bassist, Offal, was produced without the knowledge or consent of his bandmates. Utilizing his stereo open reel, a four track & the hefty backlog of the unmixed cassette masters filled with hours of alternately repetitive song-sculpting, idle noodling, & epic improvised stoner-jams, he built an incredibly vast, & fascinating sea of baubling magnetized particles, fluffy pink-fiberglass residue, & rotting, late-summer, crow-pecked squash.
	CHERRY BLOSSOMS "the cherry blossoms"(Yeay! 017 - co-released w/ Apostasy, Black Velvet Fuckere, Breaking World Records, Consaguineous Records, & Hank the Herald Angel Recordings \| 2007 \| LP \| $15 \| out of print.) Finally 'properly' mastered & released, the finest recordings of Nashville's incredible oddball musical family known as the Cherry Blossoms. This record circulated on CDR and around the web for years until a bunch of us obsessives got together & insisted on making a lasting and physical reproduction. i could rant and rave hyperbolically about this sucker for pages, but instead i will direct you to the recording's free webarchive and you can load up your ipod before you decide that you need it on vinyl: go down to the "cherry blossoms recorded in 2000." website: the cherry blossoms.
	Brian Ruryk "Piece of Shit Guitar" (YCD 10 \| 07/05 \| 35 mins/ CDR in 2 bags, color copies & trash \| $6 \| out of print) a re-edited reissue of this toronter's clattery opus. splattery guitar sacrifices upon altars of chopped cassettes crumpled moldy styrofoam coffeecups & a midnight parking-garage race between a shoppingbag & a oddly-designed car made of two-by-fours & pingpong balls. On the headphones, these stereo jams message the pituitary glands with the soapy exfoliating grace of SOS scouring pads. derrr, this is exciting!
