| | Mummies Death By Unga Bunga!! CD Mummies Discography of CDs
You've got to wonder if the apocalypse is imminent, or hell has frozen over, or some other such monstrous tear in the fabric of the universe has occurred -- here in the year 2003, the Mummies, whose legendary loathing of digital technology was second to none, have not only launched an official Internet website, but they've actually consented to their second CD release. Death By Unga Bunga!! pulls together 21 songs from the titans of "budget rock" that previously appeared on hard to find and out of print singles, and thanks to the marvels of digital mastering technology, these recordings sound marginally less screwed-up than they did in their original cheap-jack vinyl pressings (though a few appear to have been pulled straight from the turntable). Serving up high-octane garage rock so gloriously crude that they made Thee Headcoats sound like the Poppy Family, the Mummies bashed harder than anyone on the scene, and their records captured the glorious sound of cheap guitars and cheaper PAs being pushed into the red zone by four beer-drunk lunatics dressed in Ace bandages. Add to this tunes like "Doin' the Kirk," "Food, Sickles & Girls," "I'm Bigger Than You," "(I Should Better Be Lookin' For) Dangerman," and "(You Must Fight to Live) On the Planet of the Apes," and you get one of the most brilliantly stupid (and stupidly brilliant) rock bands to ever walk the Earth. With the original pressings of these 45s long gone and fetching big bucks from collectors, Death By Unga Bunga!! may not be the coolest way to check out this stuff, but it sure is convenient and cost-effective, and stretched out into one big nonstop blast, this disc only confirms the utter rightness of the Mummies' low-tech assault upon the senses. Listen and be amazed. ~ Mark Deming Death By Unga Bunga!! Music Mummies Death By Unga Bunga!! Songs Death By Unga Bunga!! Review

$14.29 "The best albums are all compilations, anyway. Why? Because they're made up of SINGLES, duh," Mick Collins writes in his liner notes to the If You Don't Already Have a Look collection of various 7" sides, compilation tracks, and unreleased items, and you've got to admit that Collins walks it like he talks it. The Dirtbombs have released three albums and about twenty 7"ers (by themselves or as splits) during their first decade of doing the rock thing, ...

$15.19 About Craig AddyMy background in music is very traditional. As a child I embarked on a musical education through the Royal Conservatory of Music. I learned my piano studies, did my technique drills, studied music theory and history, and took various Royal Conservatory exams culminating in a Performer's ARCT. As a composer and performer, this education has been invaluable. But there is a part of my identity as a musician that does not flow out of the teachings of the Royal Conservatory of Music. That is my love and practice of improvising. I have always done it and never really thought about why or how it happened. I've only had three piano teachers and none of them actively promoted the skill - in fact, I never really told them I was doing it. My improvising has always been a very personal and somewhat hidden activity - something I just did for myself. In high school, a music teacher, Bob Rebagliati overheard me playing some of my piano compositions and encouraged me to join the jazz band. The three years I spent studying jazz improvisation with him represents the only formal training in improvisation that I have ever received. For whatever reason, I never really took to jazz improvising. In fact I would go so far as to say that at best I was no more than ...
