MULCH "Mulch 2" C30 (Self-Released)

Can’t find much on this quartet, other than the liner notes, which state that there’re two guitarists, a drummer and a bass player who abuses the hell out of his harmonica. The tape sounds like a buncha dudes having fun, making a racket in the garage, dabbling in noisy-ass post-punk with the recording method fusing all the instruments together into one fuming, jumbled beast. Probably much more fun to see live.

MULCH "Mulch 2" C30 (Love Earth Music)

Bobbleheaded basement jams of an aleatory nature. Served with static-haired bombast using the customary utensils of rock purveyance, sans vocals, and featuring occasional interjections by a spazzy got-out-of-jail-free harmonica. Veers wantonly over filemot turf between puddly realms of Zornian cacophony and menacing thickets of prunefaced Dick Tracy mold-jazz; the smudged surface craquelured with loosey-goosey, for-the-love-of-the-game esprit. Favorite track names include "Wasted Cowboy", "Victory Gas", and "Smelly & Redundant".

How to put out a tape, how to become a Cassette God, show reviews, other musings: EDITORIALS

It should be obvious, this is a webzine we created to put cassette releases and the format of cassette itself on a pedestal. We are not doing this to be some sort of cassette snob, more-DIY-than-thou elitists or anything. We are doing it because all the formats that sound can be presented on are exciting and provide unique ways of shaping the listeners experience... so it is a shame that any one of these formats would fall by the wayside. Cassettes provide a listening experience that is similar to vinyl because of the intermission/moment of pause created by changing sides of the tape, but can be of almost any length between 30 seconds a side to an hour. Tapes can also be listened to in a car or while jogging.
While today this format helps keep the home label alive, its almost a dream to remember that once every musician from Michael Jackson to REM had their releases on cassette. Cassettes were a legitimate format, not just for the DIY underground. Maybe we (thats you too) are the last guardians of this format. Maybe someone, someday will popularize cassettes again. In the meantime we keep the reels turning. A little offering because at least there are a few of you that know there is more than one god of this land.
