Name Change!

I changed my blog name to "Chairshot To The Skull". Named after the series of cd-r and MP3 compilations I have made over the years of rare pop punk. Sound much better than "The Lost And Found Blog".

I'll be re-upping a few things this weekend for those who are looking for some oldies.

Yeah Yeah No

OK, to be honest I pretty much lost all motivation to do this blog. This is why there is rarely any updates, and why some of the entries are half assed. When I first started this blog, I wanted to focus on rare stuff from my own personal collection. And yes I have done that. Whether it be great pop punk, power pop, grindcore, and even some 1960's garage. And while my music collection borders on obsessive, I don't think this blog will ever return to it's former glory (Remember the one a day updates!?)

I am not killing this blog. In fact, I plan on still updating it here and there. It's a little frustrating when an album has close to 300 downloads, and not one, NOT EVEN ONE comment on said entry. I didn't start this blog for recognition. But even if you think it sucks, tell me. It's nice to know I'm not doing the blog for nothing.

Don't give up on The Lost and Found Music Blog. I'll still be around. I'll still update this. Maybe stick to self released pop punk from the 1990's. Maybe not. Find me on Facebook.

Also I just downloaded this. It's awesome.

The Aztex - The Little Streets In This Town / I Said Move 45

Everybody should know of these 2 songs. Straight from the 1960's garage scene, this release is the epitome of raw and wild 60's punk. The a-side is a fast jangler, and the B-side is a raw and fast fuzz punk monster.

 Released in I believe late 1966 on the Staff label. There are only a handful of original copies known to exist. I ended up buying the reissue at the Allentown record fair last year for $10. Considering an original will cost me a few thousand bucks. But I'll admit, if I had a few thousand to spend, this would end up in my collection.

The Little Streets In This Town was rated #299 on the Teenbeat Mayhem top 1000 garage songs. While I Said Move ended up at #104.

The A-side was released on the Back From The Grave Volume 5 LP (both German and US versions), Back From The Grave Volume 3 CD (Both German and US versions).

The B-side was also comped on Back From The Grave Volume 4 (all LP versions), Back From The Grave Volume 2 CD (all versions), and the Greasy Rock 'N' Roll Volume 4 compilation


Check this out!!

Beatnik Termites - Lineage 7"

I'm sitting on my ass, listening to 22 Jacks. Everybody should check out that band. Like now!

OK, now let's get to the blog entry. Beatnik Termites pop punk band that were around since the early 1990's and released a ton of stuff. They added their own blend of bubblegum pop to their catalog which worked in most cases. However there has been a few releases that didn't make the cut to my collection.
Lineage was pretty much a Descendants tribute release. Released in 1996 on Coolidge Records and probably 2000 or so pressed. The first 1000 copies were issued with a pack of crayons (you know, so you can customize your own cover!).

There is only 2 songs, and I do believe they were only issued on this 7". 

TRACK LISTING:
1. Suburban Home
2. Minute

V/A - Chairshot To The Skull CD

OK I usually don't post homemade comps or mixtapes of that sort on the blog. However, I made this and it was a lot of fun doing so. So I am breaking one of my rules to bring you some rare and OOP punk and pop punk.

I had this idea since I was in high school in the early 2000's. Ever since I picked up a copy of Killed By Death volume 1 at an antique store. I wanted to do a comp of rare and hard to find punk from the 1990's. I got the chance when over at the waxidermy forums I joined their annual mixswap project. I have an insane amount of self released and rare 90's pop punk that I decided that I was going to make the CD.

I wanted to do a little blurb about each band and what release the song came off of, and I still may do it. I'm not sure. All songs are between 1993 and 2003. There are songs on here that can be found with a little bit of searching, and some that I highly doubt a copy will ever surface for sale (Left Foot Forward, Espinine for example).

So please enjoy this comp of rare and OOP pop punk, ska and skate punk from 1993 to 2003. Let me know what you liked, what you didnt like and I'll keep that in mind for volume 2!!

Bete Noire - Demo CD

Bete Noire were a skate style punk band from York PA. I saw them live a ton of times and it was always a fun show. Definite Suicidal Tendencies influences here!

I know this was released with artwork, and I had a copy of that. But when I moved I lost it in the shuffle. Along with a lot of other local demos. This was given to me by MC the lead vocalist right after they recorded the songs. There sis 7 songs, and sorry I don't have the titles of them.

I'm sure not many of these CDrs were released. Probably just given to friends and the like. Check it out if your a fan of 80's style skate punk.

Ghoti Hook - No Date EP 1994

Ghoti Hook were one of those christian pop punk bands that were all the rage in the mid 1990's. And not that I have anything wrong with that. Some amazing music came out of the underground Christian punk scene. I actually picked this up for 50 cents at a yard sale in York, PA a few years ago of all places.

This is a self release cassette from 1994 and only features 4 songs. 2 of the songs are good, and the other 2 not so good. However I included all of them for archiving purposes. I'm not sure how many were released, but I think it was also released on CD. Both sides of the cassette feature the same 4 songs.

Ooklah The Punk and Spice Drops were featured on their first full Length "Sumo Surprise".

TRACK LISTING:
1. Ooklah The Punk
2. Pride
3. Be Good
4. Spice Drops.
