SLUGGISHA TAPES 33 YEARS OLD!!! SLUGGISHA BLOGSPOT 15 YEARS ONLINE!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

Yup,33 years ago today,I started my mailorder cassette catalog of bands I was in,and bands of my friends.A lot of that music is now available on this blog,(I know lots of links are dead,I am trying to get everything back to normal),I have begun to put most stuff onto bandcamp ,found here: https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/  .I have also added more videos to the Sluggisha youtube found here : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmgC9elXBKwxPHQw_PUkTw . The newest Z.A.T.H. cd " Zap All Those Humans" will be released sometime in the near future by T.E.D. Records a/k/a Thee Epileptic Dragonfly Records ,from France.They also released Karen Greenlee Army- KGA - "Cooking With Friends" cd,and Noisekillr ,"The 7 Walls Of Elite Darkness" cd,as well as a bunch more swell stuff! Z.A.T.H.  has a bandcamp too,with every release so far,and even a few preview tracks from the upcoming,aforementioned new release! Z.A.T.H.  can be found here : https://zath2.bandcamp.com/ . I have also ,this year,been working on the debut LP of Young Jit OG,a few tracks in the can,a bunch on the board,all my bars are in my head an on some papers,there's even a couple remixes already brewin'! Also coming up,and what I am currently working on is Sluggisha's Xmastravaganza # 13 ,slated for an early December release date! All of the past Xmastravaganza's .as well as other Sluggisha Christmas releases ,are documented on their own bandcamp,found here: https://sluggishasxmastravaganza.bandcamp.com/music 

It's also the 15th year of Sluggisha Tapes prescence on the internet. If you put "Sluggisha" or "Sluggisha Tapes" into any search engine,you will be greatly rewarded with multitudes of "Music You Will Hear Nowhere Else"  ,which is G O D's catchphrase ,from his WGOD Godcasts,of music from all over the spectrum,from Sluggisha's roster of artists thru the years,to exotica,grindcore,punk rock,metal,rockabilly,jazz,black metal,kraut rock,avant garde,death metal ,and many other genres and sub genres of musics.If you've never heard it before,YOU NEED TO! In other terms,"If you know,you know" This blog will continue to remain active indefinitely into infinity,perhaps.Or it could all end today,due to an untimely death. You ,the reader of this here blog,are the ultimate decision-maker,as to what the fate of Sluggisha is to be.Let me know,in the comment,your favorite Sluggisha release,what you want to see re uploaded ,(ultimately,all will be re-upped),how you feel about the future of music,and if you will join me for this year's Sluggisha's Xmastravaganza #13 (facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550701630567 ),either as an artist,musician,or a spectator/listener,these things I would like to know. There is so much in the works,I hesitate to speak of,as many things never reach fruition for years! Thanks for so many years of great fandom and followers! Keep going!

SLUGGISHA TAPES IS 32 YEARS OLD TODAY!! SLUGGISHA BLOGSPOT IS 14 YEARS OLD TODAY!! PLEASE SUPPORT US AT BANDCAMP!!

 Today marks another historical year in the life of diy music label ,Sluggisha Tapes. Started as a mailorder cassette label in 1990, to distribute my own music,as well as that of friends and aquaintances.As I ,and the label grow older,the releases have slowed. There is so much more to come,though,and it will be a massive waterfall of years of pent-up releases,that have backed up the whole damn dam!Slowly the links on this blog are coming back,now using bandcamp to store releases,go here to download new,and old releases, https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/         Sluggisha's Xmastravaganza returns this xmas season,after missing the last 2 years due to the state of the world. But this year ,volume #12 comes roaring back,picking up where #11 left off in 2019. All the Xmastravaganzas,and other xmas releases from Sluggisha,are located on this page!   https://sluggishasxmastravaganza.bandcamp.com/music   Also,looking for all thos swell Z.A.T.H.  releases,with myself and my pal Food Fortunata,as the most tardcore duo in history?? look no further ,as this is the ONLY place you will find these releases online!! (besides some stuff on youtube!)  https://zath2.bandcamp.com/   Sluggisha's youtube page has been busy since this time last year,when xmas songs were added ,and more stuff has followed,and continues coming! looky here for more!!  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmgC9elXBKwxPHQw_PUkTw?view_as=subscriber         I plan on uploading much more older stuff,still working on tons of new releases,lots of youtube coming up,working also on podcasts,and focusing now on SLUGGISHA'S XMASTRAVAGANZA #12  2022. I get kicked off facebook frequently,and right now ,both my pages are in jail,since I am a criminal.To help me ,and to get yourself something in return,PLEASE go to one or all of my bandcamp pages,and gimme a lil love in the form of listens ,downloads,and most of all,$$$$ ,    I really need it,as I have not had a job since 2019,when I became homebound.Still active,until the day I die,wont stop kicking til the bitter end! Thank you all,for years of support,and thank you to all bands,and bandmates of myself,and my family and friends! Cheers to Sluggisha 32/14 years!!

KGA - KAREN GREENLEE ARMY - COOKING WITH GOOD FRIENDS

  

back in 1785 i met Mike Crotch ,he sent me some music and i sang on it one night when i was drunk. then i had to go back and figure out all the lyrics to the songs i sang,and i had to title them.it was hard figuring out what i said that night. it was a revelation when i found out what i was talking about. so i decided to make a cd of it and sell it. my pal THEE EPILEPTIC DRAGONFLY  a/k/a T.E.D. ,did the art ,and the original release of the cd in France.years later i put out a usa version,with different art. they are both great ,and both have the same songs on it. very limited ,at the time of this post some are still available!! some come with a ltd edition poster,if you buy both versions! the link goes to sluggisha's bandcamp where you can download and/or purchase your copies now!   https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/album/karen-greenlee-army-kga-cooking-with-good-friends 

BUILDING A BETTER MOUSETRAP - A TRIBUTE TO CAT MACHINE - Lava Church Records 2012 compilation

 Finally!!! after 9 long years,this cassette from 2012 has made it to the blog.CAT MACHINE IS FOR YOU,EVEN IF YOU NEVER HEARD OF THEM!!!Long out of print,if you own a copy,limited to 50,recorded onto recycled cassette tapes,and distributed by Lava Church Records,then you are a purveyor and seeker of ,underground,cult,weird,odd,avant garde musicians.This upload also includes a song which has gone unheard for years,submitted but never added to this tape.Useless Pile's version of "Boiling In The Bathtub",is the final track on this,still a mystery thats never been solved! Anyways,check out this tribute,to the little band that could,a group of punks whose sheer tolerance for the world,impacted an unknown number of kids,into starting their own bands! The band of bastards that spawned hundreds of bastard bands!! Read the notes on how the band (and the Sluggisha Tapes label!) ,got it's start,and read the lyrics to every song included here,also bonus stuff in the download are rare flyers and art. Throw money at this release (and my small,as of yet,bandcamp catalog) ,and help me and my wife survive another day!! thanks all!!!

SLUGGISHA'S XMASTRAVAGANZA #11

That's right.it's the eleventh straight year of demented,noisy,punk rock,and non traditional xmas music,from your favorite troupe of dimwits ,on the Sluggisha Tapes/Blogspot roster! I can't say enough about this awesome compilation,and all the great folks ,who came together,to make this possible! Mikey D. did the front cover art this year,and Gray Meatballs did the back cover,whilst G O D compiled this whole mess.Got some punk rock,some noise,some tardcore,some metal,some experimental,some hnw,and the lounge-y sounds of the world's most infamous crooner,and keeper of the old world,GROB!! This usually featured on radio and internet outlets ,nationwide,every year.Let's hope this year is no different!
