Are you getting ready for your New Years Eve parties? Why not listen to an obnoxious riotous MEGA-MIX while doing it?

Scraping my brain over my high school CD collection: Ok, there were the Becks and the CAKEs who are still around releasing stuff, and The Refreshments, who we all know evolved into Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers… but what about that other stuff? These “one-hit wonders” would release one or two cool albums then disappear forever. I try to follow around the artists I’d enjoyed. I followed Eve 6 through their break up and Sugi-Tap release and then calling themselves Eve 6 again. Did these other guys just stop making music?

OKAY, so I did some digging. 

• Dynamite Hack got dropped from their label in 2002 and broke up and now the bassist/singer is releasing music as The Pleasure Device. There is a missing Dynamite Hack album, one that was recorded in 2002 and has been on the edge of release since forever. Still not released.

• Deadeye Dick (my first CD purchase ever) recorded a third album that they never released and now Caleb Guillotte just does producing and solo stuff in the New Orleans area. I messaged him on Myspace about sending me the third album.

• Caviar recorded two killer albums then broke up. The guys produced different stuff for a long while and are now in an electronica act with the Local H drummer called The Prarie Cartel.

This is how I spent my morning!
