With tartar sauce, just the way you like them...


Alright, here's my first attempt at ripping from vinyl, and it's a good 'en. 320KPS of sloppy sonic love, directed at the hearts and groins of those sultans of sweat and semen, The Fuckboyz. "A Tribute To The Fuckboyz" - 2X7" was released by Farmhouse, Monkey Bite, and Six Weeks back in the mid '90s (95?). There was some discussion of Farmhouse Records and Red #9 in the comments over at Marc's blog, so I figured this was appropriate. Other bands on the comp. are: All You Can Eat, 40% Saline Solution, Wooly Mammoth, Idiot Bitch, Krupted Peasant Farmers, Your Mother, and The Dread (Sorry, it took some effort to scan all of the booklet and get the tracks legit, so I'm not including hot links. Just Google that shit, that's what I do, anyway). Pretty excellent example of what most of the punk coming out of the San Francisco Bay Area sounded like at that time; bouncy bass, raspy vocals, quick drums, good stuff. The booklet has some really good stories from the contributing artists about their love for the FBoyz. Listen to this, then go buy a beer for Aesop, he deserves it.

"And she makes me feel/ like Jesus Christ.
And she makes me feel/like Frankenstein."
- The Fuckboyz (DL)


(Oh, and let me know if you have any suggestions on improving the technique for ripping vinyl. I think this turned out really nice, but you may know something I don't.)

[Post Edit: If you already grabbed this, "Track 04" was corrupted by Mediafire. You can grab just that track, here. I also re-uploaded the complete rip, and replaced the link. Let me know if there are any further issues with it, please."

Thanks, but the link attached to my name doesn't lead anywhere. Are you trying to tell me something. It's weird to think a band I was in would be worthy of a tribute, but it's nice, and these bands actually played these songs better than we ever did.

I fixed the link, now you're going someplace. Yeah, I'd say you've made a pretty cool name for yourself doing what you enjoy, and that is the most respectable thing I can think of for a person to do.
Also, I hate to say it, but I think I like Your Mother's cover of "Stick Fish" more than the original. Sorry, but these things happen.

Cool comp. and your rips came out nice too! I like the way you embedded the insert pics into the track tags.

On a side note... track four was "corrupt" when I tried to extract it... I'm not sure on which end the tech. difficulties lie. I like to blame mediafire.

Fixed it, yo.

FYI- AYCE's cover has Matty Luv on back up chorus vocals. he was so drunk in the studio he didn't even know what song we were doing. it was amazingly bad/awesome! thanks for ripping this, you saved me the trouble.

Thanks for the comments Danny. I was just going through my 'nostalgia box' and came up on a few All You Can Eat flyers, lost the crimson ghost patch years ago, though. Was there ever a proper AYCE full length? I remember the Nerds split w/the Janitors...

we did have two full lengths, Manga and Un Ouef (un ouef being my favorite of the two). everything can be found in mp3 format at http://www.yourmother.com/ayce/discography.htm

Very cool. Shortly after I typed the above comment, I realized that the Nerds split was actually One Eye Open and the Janitors. Duh. Sorry, this brain has been through a lot. Thanks for the link. I sure miss Your Mother.
