25 DIAMONDS MIX 08/30/09

LYNC - LIVE @ KSPC, 1993

from wikipedia, i'm lazy:

'Lync was a 1990's indie rock band from Olympia, Washington.

Formed in 1992, Lync was composed of vocalist/guitarist Sam Jayne, bassist/vocalist James Bertram and drummer Dave Schneider. Lync's distinctive sound of distortion, cryptic lyrics, and irregular tuning created a chaotic, visceral sound which drew comparisons to Fugazi, Unwound, Hush Harbor, The Fall, and Drive Like Jehu.

The band went on to release singles on Magic Pail, Candy Ass, Landspeed, and K Records. Jayne and Bertram played on Beck's album One Foot In The Grave in 1994, right before releasing Lync's one full-length album on K, These Are Not Fall Colors. Lync then disbanded in late 1994.

In 1997, Troubleman Unlimited and K collected the band's singles and unreleased tracks and released them on one compact disc, Remembering The Fireballs (Part 8).

After disbanding, Jayne and Schneider played in the more pop-oriented Love as Laughter; Bertram plays regularly with Red Stars Theory and 764-HERO, and has played with Beck, Built to Spill, and Satisfact.'

so. this is a 7 song radio show they played in 1993 on kscp, never released. please note that the 6th song (refered to as 'unknown title') i believe is unreleased; or at least, i cannot figure it what it is. if anyone knows, please write.

EDIT: SOMEONE NOTED THAT 1 SONG WASN'T WORKING FROM THE ORIGINAL LINK. AS OF 12/01/09, THERE IS A NEW LINK POSTED WITH ALL WORKING TRACKS.

enjoy:

LISTEN TO THE DEMO SONGS I FUCKING HATE BECAUSE MY VOICE WAS TOTALLY BLOWN OUT FROM SUMMER HEAT/FLU AND SOUNDS LIKE GARBAGE. THE LIVE SHIT IS WAY WAY BETTER. MORE INFO ASAP.

CALL ME LIGHTNING SINGLE!

thrilled to announce i will be doing a call me lightning single sometime in the future. no more details yet, but i will say that very honestly this band is the reason i started this label - to do records with my friends/favorite bands i believe deserve more attention/vinyl. i have heard call me lightning's new full length, and it is great -- can't wait to have more songs by them!

PLAIN DEALERS

i'm thrilled to anounce that i'll be doing a single with the band plain dealers, found here. the band is mike and marty, both formally of thunderbirds are now!, as well as two other people i don't know who were also in bands. go read yourself. plain dealers are a total nod to the, uh, sounds of 'emo yore' ; rites of spring, fuel, etc etc. i'm too excited. a live song of theirs can also be heard on the twentyfive diamonds myspace page, found here.. take a listen!
