"Deep Wound, was a strange and powerful unit inside the doctrinaire confines of hardcore. Although they were all kinda nerdy (excepting secret weapon Charlie Nakajima), they shredded in a very explicit way. There were some obvious structural debts to the Oi! bands in their compositions, but they approached the exterior textures with stylistic nuances that were distinctly North American. As the Neos did on their Hassiban Gets the Martian Brain Squeeze EP, Deep Wound compressed time in ways that were extreme, and way outside the standard square dance beat that had been defined by Robo's drumming for Black Flag. Every day they vowed to play faster. And they did, eventually developing a blur that could verge on experimental noise. Finally they burned as fast as they could, and realizing that was the case, they stopped. It was 1984. The rest of the story is well known: Dinosaur, the Outpatients, Sebadoh, Gobblehoof, etc. Most of what Deep Wound recorded is on this disk, and it still sounds pretty choice the hundredth time through (believe me, I know). Like many of their suburban kith, there are huge swathes of Xeroxed style and content, but these patches are obliterated by an underlying fascination with the reckless potential of absolute speed, and an intellectual overlay (albeit in a nascent state) that would blossom more fully in the bands that would follow. But y'know, hardcore was a really fucking good scene. And Deep Wound were a really fucking good hardcore band." -- Byron Coley

Artist:	DINOSAUR JR.
Title:	You're Living All Over Me
Label:	BAKED GOODS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	BG 005LP

LP version of the 2nd Dinosaur Jr. album, originally released by SST in 1987. "Dino cut all the excess ruffage from their diet, and Murph and Lou locked into a tuff little unit. Even the solos feel like they're being corralled by their burgeoning pop instincts. If they lumber, it's a tuneful lumbering. They discovered the sweet spot between Black Sabbath and the Buzzcocks, which every carpetbagging grunge chancer (and one or two geniuses) took to the mall a few years later...." Pressed on red marbled vinyl.

Artist:	DINOSAUR JR.
Title:	Bug
Label:	BAKED GOODS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	BG 006LP

LP version of the 3rd Dinosaur Jr. album, originally released by SST in 1988. "Bug was recorded a year later as Dino crested on a wave of goodwill, good press, and international touring. 'Freak Scene' is probably indie rock's greatest guitar performance and the band's greatest pop song. You can also hear the influence/feedback loop Dino had after razing London, specifically the combo of distant-sounding feedback washes and Byrds-y plucking that closes 'No Bones,' a sound cut-rate shoegazers would milk for another six years at least." Pressed on green marbled vinyl.
