SLUGGISHA TAPES 34TH ANNIVERSARY AS A LABEL!!! AND 16TH BIRTHDAY ON THE WEB!!

 


SLUGGISHA TAPES,SINCE 1990
Sluggisha Tapes started as a mail order cassette label on this day,November 14th,in 1990,making us 34 years old this year,2024! We have also had a prescence on the web since 2008,everywhere from youtube to bandcamp,archive to blogspot ,soundcloud to the moon! just google "sluggisha" or "sluggisha tapes" to find a huge rabbit hole that you can fall into for all eternity ,for all I care!,ha ha ,just kidding! Im glad you have been here with me for this ride,which i hope continues for a long time to come.Ive recently uploaded a ton of stuff to my youtube and bandcamp pages,with some merch as well,please buy,and help me survive.I hate to beg,and have to come to you and ask for money,but it is a case of life and death,literally!I have reached the milestone of 60 years old this year,and my health is not great but not horrible either. At the current time I need to have sugery on a parotid gland,which is a salivary gland on the right side of my neck. I noticed an egg sized lump there on october 1st.I saw a doctor a few times,and surgery is required,as it is a tumor which may be cancerous. I need 10.000 dollars to have the surgery and pay all the people involved,and the hospital.I left my job 5 and a half years ago,to care for my wife,who has had a few strokes,since 2014.In 2019 she had a bad stroke,and then they found she had a hole in her heart since birth,which they fixed,so no more strokes,but disability still exists.We live on her disability check,i get no money for being her caregiver,and my younger son also has health issues,and has been out of work for nearly 3 years,awaiting disability ruling,and i care for him,as well.So none of us work,and I need to keep myself alive to care for my family.And to keep bringing you great ,weird,underground,music you will hear nowhere else! this is a link to the gofund me page https://gofund.me/fcd3ee1a  that my son set up for me. anything will help. ive had small and big donors,and I appreciate all of you out there.please help keep Sluggisha alive.I am trying to get XMASTRAVAGANZA #14 done before I have to have surgery as I will not be able to do much while recovering for weeks,maybe months. lots of complications could arise,losing feeling in face and inability to speak correctly are top fears for me.then ,if i do have cancer,i have to have radiation and chemo,and I really dont think I can do that.I am scared and wish this was all a bad dream,but whenever I reach up and touch my neck,'ol lump is still there,not going away...I hope to make it thru this.c'mon and show me some support.please.  https://gofund.me/fcd3ee1a
