3Ds Fish Tales / Swarthy Songs for Swabs (1990)










Hard Work? So, melodies from these records have been haunting me so much lately that I was eventually compelled (nay DRIVEN), down to a dark, damp, dour corner of our basement, to a box in a drawer, in order to retrieve the ancient, cinder-block-sized, externally-powered, USB 1.0 80GBHD (ha! ha! ha-ha-hah!) that I had stashed them away onto eight or so years ago, and then laboriously offload and reformat and upload and try to remember my password so that I could get the fuck back on this here blog and SHARES... ( we do the lordz work).


Well, Worth It! These record have aged (matured) very well over the last two decades. I was ecstatic to find those melodies intact and mesmerizing all over again. Oh, where have all the sharp wiggly guitars gone? (And Oh, "Dreams of Herge," where have you been all these years? Oh right. in the basement). FWIW, these records have way more staying power than your average state-of-the-art digital media storage device.


They had some beautiful record covers.


did they not?



P.S. Thought:


do Pavement owe 3Ds anything?


[hear "Hairs" or "Sing-Song" fer chrissakes!]


There seems to be a rather direct connect to my ears now,


and these Kiwi Kids certainly had it on the Stockton Set by a few years.


(oh whatevs, i suppose it was all in the ferment. just bubbling away...)


someone's doubtless done a dissertation or two by now.
