SLUGGISHA'S THRIFT STORE -Volume One


The beginning of yet another series of tapes.The biggest supporters of these tapeloads, of records I found ,while out thrifting,were definitely the Ford boys as well as their parents!(who actually sat around as a family to listen to copies of some of this series ,that I gave them!)Incredibly Strange Music,religious,children's,soundtracks,space-age bachelor pad,orchestras,foreign,locals,people talking,people singing,no stone is left unturned!I can't really tell you what's on here,I'll let you be surprised,but I can say this,some of the most bizzare ,weird,and even downright ,excruciatingly bad,music you are ever likely to hear.I have a huge collection of thriftin' vinyl,this could go on for decades!If you like this,please leave comments!I will continue this series ,as long as people give me props!

HENRY MITCHELL-SOMZ -WITH MIKE WATT!!!



another solo artist in the continuing series,henry was not an immediate sluggisha family member,but rather a fan and fellow musician from san pedro,california.i know some of you are saying,"hmmm,now who do i know from san pedro?",that's right folks,the minutemen!and featured on this release(on at least 2 songs)is mike watt!! playing bass solos,and doing spoken vocals!any minutemen,firehose,or mike watt fans(hi,chuck!)(hi,fords!)take note of this.as far as i know this was never released,i've never heard of it,internet search turns up zilch,so i guess this may be rare.fairly pedestrian 70's style mellow rock,1 blues instrumental number(for a minute),sometimes the vocals sound like a choir boy at sunday mass,pretty interesting piece of minutemen artifact,tell me what you think it sounds like.henry was apparently a drummer primarily,but tried to spread his wings here by doing vocals ,bass ,guitars,and drums.a couple of guest guitars as well,all notes in zip,details on the last 2 tracks are sketchy,may also feature watt,tell me if you think so.i don't know if that's henry in the pic above,he sent this for distro thru sluggisha.check it out!

FORDS OF CHAOS





our local ft.myers minutemen cover band,but they were so much more.a band of brothers and a friend,play minutemen covers so realistic,you'll swear you are hearing the genuine article.seth,luke,mark,and brett,have a knack for reproducing the hits of d.boon and co.as well as minor threat ,home,dinosaur jr.,steely dan(via the minutemen)and other bands they love. i wish i had a flyer for this show,but alas,no luck.upon first hearing them,i was amazed that at their young age they were so proficient,cruising along like a well oiled piece of machinery.you too will stand gape-mouthed at the sounds you will hear,and may even feel disbelief that this is not the minutemen.if anyone knows what track 7 is let me know in comments,thanks .5/25/96 at the draft house.i am still floored everytime i hear the ford boys,as will you be when you click here:

WrOnGsKi



This is me and Seth and Luke Ford,Vance Burdge and Mike Smith,7-27-96,about 2 months before Paul Stanley Hologram.Very different,like chocolate pudding in a can,or a hole in one.If you like chicken nuggets or blowing up hot wheels with firecrackers,you'll probably like this.Only 4 songs,but they are great rock n roll numbers that whoop a lion's ass with a belt.Don't miss the Fords, in action.

Paul Stanley Hologram



this is me with luke and seth ford,one night at sluggisha/w.g.o.d. studios.pretty awesome can't pinpoint their sound but my best guess would be pseudo-alternative grunge rock,which sounds like this.if you don't like it ,you're crazy,the fords rock.oh,it sounds nothing remotely like kiss or paul stanley,or the fords of chaos.found the action figure in the pic at a dollar store and wished i would have bought all 3 there cuz i never seen 'em again.the last song is about a commercial for an automatic litter tray sweeper for your cat.we saw the commercial ,wrote the tune,bashed it out!enjoy, G O D click here dummy.    https://archive.org/download/PaulStanleyHologram/093PaulStanleyHologram.zip
