See ya in Montréal !!
I STILL don’t get a copy of Bad Guy!
who must I fuck to get a copy of the Japanese “Shot” anyways??
David –
This is MASSIVE. I can’t wait to hear these remastered versions – especially ‘Down’, which I rate as the all-time best Jesus Lizard album.

Awe-some.
I managed to grab INCH, so (needless to say) I want these as well.
Any word yet on what they’ll all retail for?
Not that money is an issue… but, hey, it IS.
And it certainly is if this is a limited pressing. Any news on that?
Hey David,
Thanks for keeping this blog. I stumbled upon it this morning while searching the web for any info on the rig you used during the Liar sessions.
Could you fill me in? We are attempting to get a bass tone somewhat similar to yours if at all possible. BTW – my favorite bass tones of all time.
-Tom
David – have you heard the remastering or seen the new artwork for the albums ? Thoughts ?
the greatest collection of work made in a decade. staggering.
Nice. Are the various live tracks on Pure, Head and Goat from Show, or are they different?
word DOWN
Glad to see the Insipid 7″ is getting some love; both tracks came out great. Did your “recording” also include the original mixing? Also nice to see ‘Panic in Cicero’ making it home to T&G. When I listened to the ‘Clerks’ commentary, I seem to recall tJL (and that song) were the only one Smith and Mosier didn’t even mention when the soundtrack songs came on. Did someone lose a bet?
And I know it’s from the SHOT days (I believe), but where the hell is ‘Murder in Wood Green’?
