WHEELCHAIR FULL OF SLUGGISHA-a tardcore to the max compilation from food fortunata and satan peabody all new for 2009




















The Sluggisha Tapes label started in 1990 with the advent of Cat Machine,although many bands already existed in our galaxy before Sluggisha or Cat Machine,and most are included in our canon of bands.This release represents some of the stupidest music ever recorded in history.Most of these bands and songs would be lost to the ages if not for this release.I've been in contact with my pal Food Fortunata for the last 15 years,and together we built this castle of crap that no one should ever have to listen to,as if they would ever want to.Includes 4 totally new unreleased tracks from the Blood Red Oscars,2 of which pay homage to Wheelchair bands,and the songs are exclusive to this comp. as are most tunes here.Funny,strange,bizzarre,hilarious,scary,and stupid are some of the things you might say after ingesting this.Don't be alarmed ,you are correct,this is tardcore!Brought to you by Sluggisha Tapes and Wheelchair Full Of Old Men Records and Tapes,and compiled by Satan Peabody and Food Fortunata.Art by Satan and Food.Here's what Food had to say about this release:
These 32 Wheelchair songs were chosen with the utmost care, when I was drunk and shit. What other way would be appropriate? Wheelchair started in 1987 and there was really no intention for it to continue any longer than it took to put out a tape or two that ultimately no one in the world wanted to hear, but for one reason or another, the shit just kept piling up and it has kept piling up for better than 2 decades. Sooner or later, I’m bound to lose interest in all this, but until that happens, enjoy the fruits of the labor of this union of morons. Love and kisses, Food Fortunata.
so here it is in all it's glory,"WHEELCHAIR FULL OF SLUGGISHA"!

SACKTAP




some of the stupidest stuff ever commited to tape,by one of the most tardcore bands of all time,SACKTAP.collects pieces from 1978-2009,of all sorts.kinda retaining or always returning to a jazz/lounge based sound,but lots of other styles abound such as,noisy industrial,acoustic,lots of keyboardy numbers,poetry,remakes of classic 80's t.v. ads,long-winded instrumentals,audio verite,a spoof of an old time radio show in a few episodes,the most retarded motorhead cover ever,hip-hop rap,just about anything you could think of.experiments gone wrong is the key mode of operation here.if you are into the worst music you can find,annoying people with said music,or if you enjoy any tardcore,you will like this.makes sockeye and their gang look like led zeppelin in comparison.don't listen to any other band called,SACKTAP.they're all fakes,also has nothing to do with spinal tap,even though they rule!an ongoing project that will likely end when i die.there is a full cannon of this band in the wings,just waiting to unload on the stupid world we live in,and when it does,whooo boy!,be prepared for the stupidity,that of the like which you have never seen.art by eric,age 8.

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:

this is godcast # 6,there are 5 more posted on this blog as well.lots of locals plus out of state bands,stuff that's already posted here,as well as rare tracks and bands not yet posted on this blog.god will tell you what you are hearing,as he is the all powerful d.j. from the vault of sluggisha.so no need for track lists.broken into 2 parts due to length,this will fulfill your day whenever you listen to it.from1/27/94,number49.33,check it out!


NOISEKILLR #5





this is volume 5 in the series of noisekillr.feb.26-27 of 93 this took place.vance joins me on track 5,"fuck you,gary",and the last 3 tracks almost get out of hand ,as the effects and the repetitiveness of the power electronics, take a toll on your feeble minds.like hypnotic snake charmer music,this will lull you into an altered state of conciousness.all these tapes sound slightly different,and improve with each new release,yet still retain that noisekillr sound,that no one else can (or would want to)lay claim to.don't take this lightly,it will cause you severe mind trauma,so be forewarned.

UNCUT #2


this is the second release from the escaped psychotic who enjoys damaging vinyl,then recording said records.this is a little different than the usual lock-groove sound of uncut.this is one of several 4-track sessions by uncut.although the last couple numbers are characteristically in place.the final track is a super bonus that has'nt been released till now,get your paper towels ready!you'll need to do some wiping up after you hear it!many more volumes will be forthcoming in future times.for now enjoy this bit of craziness induced by what uncut calls,"music"https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/album/uncut-2

UNCUT #1


this is the first uncut track ever! it's only 1 song but it's long!shauna grant a/k/a/ colleen applegate is the subject,a hustler cardboard record is the source(pic above),and it goes on and on.the beginning of a slew of releases,about a dozen,as with noisekillr,i will eventually post all the releases from this artist.uncut#9 is already posted elsewhere on this blog,and #2 is above this post.broken record madness from an escaped mental home patient,who broke out to break record albums,and scratch them and glue them and play and record them onto tapes.don't miss this!it will drive you batty!click here for release:https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/album/uncut-1

MAGIC NOSE GOBLINS 2-two



this is the second (third if you count both duos as one band)and final release from magic nose goblins 2.dec. 91,at joel's,me and chipmunk do it again.a little louder than past tapes,a couple of televisions are on for the whole proceedings,making for weird backround noise,and voices from out of nowhere.art is by food fortunata of sockeye and wheelchair records fame.my favorite magic nose goblins song is on this one,i sing and play keys on it,it's titled,"good turns bad",and rings true.a great ending to the magic nose goblins trilogy,click here,or pick here ,as it were:http://www.mediafire.com/file/rjtcrnz5myz/magic nose goblins 2-two.zip

MAGIC NOSE GOBLINS 2



this second duo is me and chipmunk.yes the 1st magic nose goblins was in homage to him,then he replaced joel in the band!?what's up?well this was recorded at my pad in lehigh about 3 a.m.,and has great samples ,mostly focusing on a leave it to beaver episode,but also has snippets of manson,jerry lewis,and other notables.very cool and different from magic nose goblins 1.chipmunk is one hell of a guitarist,he could play a pineapple and make it sound good!well enjoy this anyway and check out the posts below and above this for more fun!art by basil wolverton,i believe.click here kids:http://www.mediafire.com/file/hmynlkyzndy/magic nose goblins 2.zip

MAGIC NOSE GOBLINS 1


we loved ren and stimpy,so we formed 2 bands called,"magic nose goblins",and distinguish them by calling them 1 or 2.

both are duos,this one is me and joel,in his room,at gramps's(cat machine house).we were supposed to be recording the 4th one fell swoop tape,but the night before chipmunk stole his mom's car,and wrecked it,all highed up. we went downtown,the next morning,where he worked for his mom,and he said,"my life is over",which of course wasn't true.so me and joel went back home and recorded this semi tribute to our fallen bandmate.the last track is funny as we give him a stern talking to.good lyrics,rockin' music,joel sings a few,i sing the rest,and it all turns out like crap,with a cherry on top!forget about the other bands using this name,we were the originals back in 1991.click here for the real magic nose goblins 1:http://www.mediafire.com/file/h4m1ynwkmzf/magic nose goblins 1.zip

NOISEKILLR- 4



the title of this extended piece is,"opus #1,movement #4",and it took place in my garage.lots of power electronic moments ,some quieter passages,and lots of noise.way out ther in the hyper reality of space,as in outer.if you liked any of the other 3 noisekillr posts ,so far,you'll dig this.similar to the other side long tracks,lots more of this futuristic artist to come!stay tuned!click here for link:

MOOM PITCHERS




i know,another weird name,and it comes with a story.we were listening to a mrs. miller album and in the liner notes it had a segment where they talked about her t.v. appearances,and some questions she was asked,one of which was,"what does she like to do with her spare time?",to which she replied she,"liked moom pitchers",which we deciphered as,"moving pictures"ie:the movies.just a strange way to say things,i guess.anyway the name stuck for 4 sessions,all of which is here.there is some 4-track tomfoolery,more live stuff than anything,and the band is mostly me,joel,and mike,tho' dug appears on the last 6 songs.aunt christy sings on "christine's tune".hard to pin down an exact sound except to say,"space vixens",the title of a song,and the original moniker,(for a few days),which kinda describes the sound,but not as well as you would like.still cool.check out a song about tony,"homily boy".i think you may agree ,moom pitchers is quite possibly the most debonair band to have existed in their time(1/19/96-2/4/96),and as you can see the post below is the band that followed up on this band about a week later.pretty comparable to "the new space rock extravaganzas",a nice companion piece,with the same members,we used to change band names like our socks,we were so fickle.sounds like moom pitchers,for sure,tubular dudes!

THE NEW SPACE ROCK EXTRAVAGANZAS




a follow-up to moom pitchers(see the post above )a little one-off band,with me,mike,dug,and joel,recorded at 5455,2/10/96.pretty spacey,hence the name,kinda like a more radical man vs. astroman,or a modern day hawkwind.joel has some great lyrics he wrote and spouts on,"all the way to the wack",which is about ,i don't know,ask joel!.anyway check it out .logo by dug,painstakingly computer colored by me.click here,space ace:

FLESH OF BARNEY-flasher barney




steve borden named this band,and a song ,"steve boredom" on here is about him.we worked in a bakery,a cake topper of barney in a raincoat made steve say,"flasher barney",which i heard as "flesh of barney",and thought of the body of christ.me vance and billy ,played on this,the concept:each of us could not hear what the other was playing or singing.i think the first song title,"blizzum scasm",totally describes the sound.cool,doesn't even sound anything like rush or black oak arkansas,as you would think.listen now:
https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/album/flasher-barney 


BURDGE DRAKEWOOD ORCHESTRA- first movements


i sometimes used the alias "ed wood",which explains part of the name,also with billy and vance,we had control of a full 65 piece orchestra,with which to do our bidding,and conduct these tunes,recorded in a massive 20,000 sq. foot concert hall. soundtrack music ,used in several films,which we wont name here,simply cause i don't agree with the directors of said movies,about their points of view,so fuck 'em!.also see our second movement"anal vacation",elsewhere on this blog.very unsettling pictures are painted in these pieces,check it out:

NOISEKILLR- 3


the third in a series of "library music" for outsiders. features "iggy" on vocals on the track,"king near fire".solo artist using a variety of instruments,creating new sounds from old recycled ones,some television segments that sound like people in the next room,a"time capsule",and one of the last tracks featuring one of my vintage dan electro guitars(stolen soon after,i had a pair of matching guitars,one black,one white,lost to the theives,who also made off with some records,some recording equipment,and for some reason,masters of some moshhawks and other stuff,sadly lost to the ages,as no other copies exist.)called,"shitweasel",which was my pet name for the twins,but i don't remember which shitweasel it actually is that i'm playing.some power electronics,some mellow parts,some really loud industrial sounds,just intriguing and interesting stuff you,ve never heard the likes of,and lots more fun to be had.check it out by clicking here https://archive.org/download/Noisekillr-3/136Noisekillr3.zip

EPSTEIN- LIVE!-at trig's birthday party at gare's house,3/20/93



This was supposed to be "Whoreshack" live but the other 2 members didn't show up so I played guitar and had 4 drummers,all at once,who included,:Brophy,Trig,Sean,and Tony.I know it sometimes sounds as if there's 2 guitars,but it's all me with effects and delays.Broke into the middle of a mellow acid hippie party to wake them up with the reality of this music.I'm sure they were trippin' balls and this probably took them over the edge.At least 30 hippies were in attendance,and I fled after the last note.Whoreshack was me ,Billy,and Mike, same style, instrumentals mostly,and sometimes Vance on bass.This is a freak-out session,and the sound quality is of the "you are there"variety,I think you will like!Click here:

F.T.R.A.



once named after a violent,serial killin' bunch of train ridin' hobos and bums,there is now a band using that name(who suck by the way),so now i just use different names all the time,ie:was,"freight train riders of america",now could or has been,"find the right answer","fart tooth rice ass","freaky tongue rash abalone","fred travalena's rare ascot",and"fuck the river apples!".please contribute a new name or names i can use in the comments section below.the music is instrumentals mostly based on famous people's birth and death days,but not always,as evidenced by titles such as,"killing a bum to get an erection",and "horn of plenty of shit(facist movie theme)",as well as others.all forms of instruments are used,lots of fab moments,download and love,thanks ,G O D:

the real F.Q. - - tone poems for white people



this is another solo artist,who knows what the name means,or what the get-up is he's wearing,but the music is as the title implies.definite poetry set to a variety of backing musics,and i would'nt expect even white people would enjoy this,much less anyone else.loosely based on a beach boys autobiography,except where it's not,the last track,"firemen helmets"is my favorite.don't listen to this,but if you do,please leave a scathing review for the real F.Q.:

SALEM CURBING



this is the original 1st tape from this innovative artist.if you check out this blog you'll also find the second,even more futuristic,album,which i prefer,as this is somewhat primitive in recording techniques,but still will hold your interest.has a great jeopardy parody,i voice all 3 contestants,and alex trebek,stars as himself.also covers of louie,louie,the heartbreakers,a coupla sex pistols numbers(all the cover songs are played on a discarded toy phone i found in the trash,when you push the buttons it makes different tones!)almost an american version of hanatarash!some embroyonic versions of sexboy tunes,lots and tons of samples that will weird you out,this is still a valid expression of future musics,even tho' it's from the 90's,no one has done anything like this or the second great release(salem curbing 2-"the beat clam goes to the meatball social,or,we are science tits!")yet,and i don't know that anyone will ever catch up with this sound,it's so far in the future.lots of little songs interspersed through-out the proceedings,so don't lose patience,just like the 2nd one,lots of treasures await,and you never can tell what's coming next.bears many repeated listenings.good for backround or crankin',great for parties,a real conversation piece.2 side long tracks,as to keep the continuity flowing.this just may cure your ailments,click here and call me in the morning: https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/album/salem-curbing 

NOISEKILLR 2


second in the noisekillr series,features"the cycle" ,a 40 minutes+ opus,and check out god doing stand-up comedy here on,"two penguins",freakin'genius.definitely more power electronics,similar to the first one.as this series continues,the music gets even more adventurous,so stay tuned for that.

me,joel and chipmunk,in our little alt-rock trio,me and chip on guitars,jorl on drums,except when he sings,me on drums,we all sing,mostly me.i wrote the lyrics and we cover,flamin'groovies,the fall,syd barrett,hendrix,stooges,sonic youth,led zeppelin,and black flag.kinda electric eels style,no bass,just guitars.we sound much different live,with a real drum kit,instead of our usual kit(see other one fell swoop post for details)and the flyer on the other post is for this show ,the flyer on this post is for a show a week later,black nerd opened for us(i'll post that later),and we had a big crowd of locals who were rather pissed at my intro to"red letter day"when i razz nirvana for their sell out video(smells like...)on mtv at the time,lots of folks walked out after i make my comments,oh well,they missed the rest of a hell of a good show!we aquired a residence as the house band at the draft house for some time after this.i was the one who got them to let us play and start a scene in our crappy little town.kinda busted open the floodgates for a million embryo alt rock bands and punks to play and hang out,before that downtown was just drunken bums hangin at the bar.lots more live and studio tapes to come.the first track is an improv,which we usually used to apply to a regular set list,we'd always do a few improv jams.a fine document of a fantastic band,stay tuned for more,for now click here:http://www.mediafire.com/file/jynzwdmawng/ONE FELL SWOOP-first show live 1-31-92-the draft house.zip

CHEERFUL HANGERS-forever falls




this band,me,joel,tony,and vance,is kinda related to,heeb,yid,and kike in sound and members.ist track is a tribute to cat machine,and the third track was pilfered by kike for their full length(probably a different mix).don't miss the 4th track,it goes by as quick as the shake of a lamb's tail!the 6th track features special guest guitar from billy.tony sings one,vance sings one ,i sing 3 ,and 2 instros.all in all an enjoyable listen.try to fit this into one of your "genres",you jaded bastards!click here:

PANTHER PISS




this band was a one -off project with 8 members.me ,chipmunk,billy,shane,vance,chuck,sean,and fred,all took part.chuck's bass lines really hold this all together.kinda am-rep/sonic youth/free jazz,type of sound,some instros,some vox.don't let the 1st track fool you,we were going for that,"the tape deck is eating your tape sound"(this was originally on cassette),to freak people out.has some sax on a few tracks as well.can't pin down a genre,as with most of our bands,so just download and listen up,click here:   https://archive.org/download/PantherPiss/126PantherPiss.zip 

DIVIDED WE STAND




a new york harcore style band,just like you'd hear in n.y.sean fleck on vocals,biron on guitar,jeff on bass,and steve on drums.sean and i were friends,he was in film school,and used some of my music in a few of his films soundtracks.he also lent me a video camera for a few years,in which time we made "pissing out the poison",the movie,i made a few short films,and we filmed our bands playing shows.back to the tunes,quite good for what it is,fave tracks are,"ho bag",and "snitch".they used to be known as "grinch",till they found out there were one or more bands using that moniker.get your boots and get ready to mosh,click here for the tea dance:http://www.mediafire.com/file/eztl2tnquj2/DIVIDED WE STAND.zip

BUGHEAD-vol 3




hey,it's brophy on drums again,nathan adams on guitar and lead vocals,and jason powell ,bass and vocals.they had an orlando connection.kinda funky like hendix meets lenny kravitz(oh yeah,they're the same person,right?),with one track revisiting their ska roots.yes,i think they started as a ska band,and as that market overflowed into the sewer,they swtched up to this funky sound.reminds me of early 70's funk rock bands.the last track is almost reminiscent of a ween cut-out with it's falsetto vocals.pretty professional sound as well,far beyond sluggisha standards.i don't know what became of vols. 1,2 or anything after 3,i've never heard 'em.click here :http://www.mediafire.com/file/mcwiwigzzmo/bughead.zip

BIONIC GROOVE ALLIANCE





this is a hip hop funk rap metal band,with brophy on drums.i don't know the other members,but they seem to have an orlando connection.kinda like i imagine what mike muir's funk metal band sounded like,or any rap metal crossover band from the 90's.click here for link:http://www.mediafire.com/file/0dglnnj4kog/BIONIC GROOVE ALLIANCE.zip

STONEHENGE MOUTH--strictly the phedinkus


about 2:30-3:30 a.m.,october 10th 1991,at my house,this was recorded.one of our famous one-off bands,me,tony,joel,and chipmunk.great mood created by the late hour,straight to boombox.some tracks have the one fell swoop drum kit(see the one fell swoop post for more info on that matter),and there's one instro,and each of us sing one,for a total of 5 tunes.the standout fave for me is the 3rd track,"off my hooves",which tony wrote the words to,i play bass,one of my finest bass lines ever,and it's my pick of the various versions of this song(boneshaker does a faster version,totally different music,tony,ron,vance,but that's for a future post)one of my top 20 greatest sluggisha songs,ever!!in closing let me say,this is a fine jamming band,check the line-up,one of many bands with the same members,yet with a sound all it's own,but it's awfully hard to scrub the cat machine off!.click here buddy:  https://archive.org/download/StonehengeMouth--strictlyThePhedinkus/122StonehengeMouth.zip

not related to cbgbs,except for the fact that it's punky music.kinda ultra intellectual tardcore.like a t v with nothing but information ,or a set of encyclopedias,or sitting in a college course,listening to professors.song lyrics vary greatly,every subject is touched upon,the music is varied as well,sticking to a mostly punk /tard style,but some metal leanings are also heard.i also hear a bit of minor threat like emo/caring type of vibe.it's a trip to the library,a virtual cornucopia of information.i play all instruments,a real drum kit,all vocals,i am all alone here again.very cohesive sound ties it all together in a neatly wrapped package.a/k/a the tee vee gee bees,also has nothing to do with the bee gees.a real lone wolf sounding type of recording that will either cheer you up or make you even more depressed,but laughing.with a germs cover.art by me.pretty fuckin'cool,a good listen .click here for zip file: https://archive.org/download/TheTvgbs/121TheTvgbs.zip

the ANGRY REDNECKS



Me ,Tony,Joel,and Chipmunk, were on our way to record something at the bakery.On the way there we had a road rage run-in with some rednecks,who appeared to be furious with us for being cooler than them ,apparently,and in the course of their ignorance,gave us a name for this project,we were about to embark on.Utilizing huge metal bread proofing cabinets,for part of the percussion,and other instruments of baking as musical instruments,as well as guitars, bass, drums,make for strange bedfellows.Other bands also recorded in this factory, including,Jesus Freak and the Barefoot Bandit,and Whoreshack.This ,as with other of our bands,is practically indescribable,but the final track may yield a clue in the title,"Humans Reared In Institutions".This is basically the sound of this project,with a Lubricated Goat cover.Don't disregard this as noise or industrial,this thing rocks the fuck out! P.S. the sign in the pic above has nothing to do with our band,but there is no cover art ,so's ,ready-made,in the tradition of the early dadaists and surrealists,which I like to think of me and my bandmates,and almost everything on this blogspot as.Grab this now,and kill rednecks today!Oh yeah,one more note,what's the difference between a good ol' boy and a redneck?a good ol' boy raises livestock,a redneck gets emotionally involved!Ha ha!Click here:  https://archive.org/download/TheAngryRednecks/120TheAngryRednecks.zip 

BLOOD & FRICTION



a duo of blood,(me),and friction,(tony), recorded while vance was mixing down tempo house,(see post directly below this post),and is spacey,funny,scary,and just flat out strange and kooky.very musical in an other-worldly way.use of samples and a micro recorder really messes with your senses,and is disorienting at times.like all our bands on sluggisha,hard to pin to a genre or to classify,has that blood and friction sound,if you know what i mean!,if you don't ,download here and now!: https://archive.org/download/BloodFriction/119Bloodfriction.zip 

TEMPO HOUSE



this is a trio of me tony and vance,slight religious,gospel hymn, feeling here,due to use of hymn book for lyrics,i guess?also songs of scooby snacks and the bourgieousie.a weird feeling is brought on by listening to this,it creates a mood ,so to speak.very hard to nail down,check it here:  https://archive.org/download/TempoHouse/118TempoHouse.zip 

the PHONE SLUTS



this is me and fred,with a novel idea,call people and have them sing over the phone,while we play the music on our end.i had a phone tap mic hooked into the 4-track,and the instruments all hooked up so the singer could also hear the music in the phone.we also do a few actual songs ourselves,without the phone guests(sluts).the guests include some of fred's family(carol,rob hoke),answering machines,mrs. carwile(shane's mom),ralph tarantino,gunnar,tony rizzo,dean,some girl?,sean woodcock,and chuck connell.some of this stuff is just phenomenal,but alas,it was only this one tape,wish i had done more,cuz it's a very interesting concept,with bizzare outcomes.this was slightly before the fun sluts(a few posts down below)and right after freddy's solo album(which will post soon).if you like all this reality t.v. crap ,you will love this eavesdropping on a band and it's phone singing and talking guests.different than any band you ever heard,here or elsewhere...........G O D .click here,slut!: http://archive.org/download/ThePhoneSluts/117ThePhoneSluts.zip

THEE NEVER WILL BE'S



this is me ,solo,paying tribute to the forefathers of punk,the 60's garage bands.many cover tunes from many bands you never heard of all played by me,plus a couple swell originals in the style .really some of my best work vocally and musically ,except for the other 300 or so projects i've been involved in.just paying homage to the gods,lysergic and hallucinogenic psych that could twist your mind forever.nah,just great garage punk,check out my guitar solo on"someday baby",i actually sing the guitar solo,not play it,the last 2 tracks are live at 5455 with billy,mike,and joel from a buzz workshop tape.so named because i live far away from all my old friends and bandmates that this band never will be!smoke 'em if you got 'em and kick out these jams!

CENTRIFUGE





kinda pickin' up where KIKE(same line-up) left off,and sounding even more drugged than usual at some points,also for some reason reminds me of a modern day pink floyd.fucking cool ass shit here folks,do not miss it.tony,vance,joel,and i think phil plays sax on a few numbers.at moments mellow,rockin',even a few black/death metal like tunes,where the vox go to cookie monster growl.for the most part though,just pleasantly euphoric,make you smile type of tuneage.i think this is everything they ever recorded,
