On occasion, all we have to do is just say to one another I'm looking for blahdeeblahblah and one of us will find it. I believe that because I often pay it forward, I am rewarded by the fulfillment of my own personal want list.Jodi -- I welcome you to pay it forward (to me) if you find an absurdly cheap copy of the Heroin Man LP. Or even a reasonably priced copy. You will be rewarded with the cost of the LP, the shipping, a care-package from the Boyer Estate, and a pallet of good karma (still sealed, first edition).

He played it for me when my old band was touring through Oregon; before he got all-Hollywood and moved to Hollywood. Yeah, I remember being sorely disappointed with it. Such a great album cover, though!

Favorite band on Trance/helped change the way i think about writing basslines mmmm not crapi chatted with Spot at Trailer Space about em, he said they considered a reunion but one of them just wasn't down with it. so it goes.

You know you're listening to a great album when a gentle ballad that sounds like it was recorded on the wrong speed and keeps schizophrenically switching between major and minor chords is the scariest song on an album full of toxic sludge.

Problem with the rip or is this a recording quirk of the original?

At one point Trance Syndicate had Bedhead, Cherubs, Windsor For The Derby, Sweet Pea and Sixteen Deluxe (c'mon that first record kick's ass), and was distributing Emperor Jones. I was actually stoked to see what would happen with this record label from Texas, I thought it would be the next T&GAnyway, everyone knows what happened, but man, what a run. Those Cherubs records were a huge part of it.NOT CRAP.-Jeremy

It's just that nearly every single migraine-inducing, psychotic song on this record is entrenched in some sort of groove or traditional rock structure that the noise-freak-out-ender just leaves me sorta meh. Would much rather have it bouncing me off the walls peeling skin from my face.Jeremy B wrote:At one point Trance Syndicate had Bedhead, Cherubs, Windsor For The Derby, Sweet Pea and Sixteen Deluxe (c'mon that first record kick's ass)...You don't have to tell me twice. I love 16D, and not just the first record.
