(309) EAR-SCUM

I thought I had posted this before.  It’s been downloaded a bunch.  Maybe not, but I saw that Jared Grabb (above, mouth open) is booking a tour.  I also just finished wearing my Dudestalk shirt for two days.  Coincidence? In 2005, I did a 2-week tour with Scouts Honor .  They had been on the road for 70 days already I... don’t remember if I lived in Bloomington or Chicago at the time.  That means I don’t know if it was 2005 or 2006.  Pretty sure it was May 2005. It was a little rough.  Jared’s gone solo now... with Brett.  “PLAY SOME BANJOS!” I played a karaoke set with a fog machine as my main instrument.  Occasionally went over well.  They fared much better. While you check him out and book him to play your BBQ, get sunburned by this outdoor, afternoon garage stage amplified off a corn crib tractor run from Dude’s Ranch, Lexington, IL. Scouts Honor @ Dudestalk ‘05  (click it) Recorded by Bill Lauher. Jared - Vocals/Guitar, Papa Tom Satterfield - Drums, Chris Mackey - Bass.

You’re never going to make it there in time, luckily it’s just starting and you can listen LIVE right here through time and space!  Spread the word, it’s in the basement.  Tonight Only!  RT for a beer! #Semicids #Earscum PS. New guitar player tonight.  Phil Karnats. SEMICIDS @ 104 W WILLOW 5/3/90.MP3 - @jeremyscheuch There was a picture if Phil K and I at Estelle’s in Chicago.  Can’t find it.

I had NEVER heard this.  In 1994, working at Tobins Pizza, Matt "Baldy" Crummett, pointed over at delivery driver, Rob Reed, and something like, "that guy is an awesome drummer.  He was in Semicids." I think I've seen all these guys in something else (Ed in 100 other bands), but it was real cool to hear this, and then make it louder. It would be real cool if anyone had something to add... photos, stories, corrections, etc.  I'm guessing most of you AT LEAST haven't heard this in a long time.  Hopefully, I've done it justice.  It was bad ass to begin with. With no further ado, Happy Thanksgiving Bloomington/Normal Punk Rock History!

I'm an independent contractor.  Try me out.  No nudes. Graphic befitting the name, "Earscum."

Found a CD of Super88 mixes labeled “1-1-06.”  This would be a few months before I left for Chicago.  Played these songs some before that, but I didn’t feel the need to learn em real good.  I’m not on here.  I was supposed to learn these. I whipped through these late at night when I should have been asleep, but I wanted to jam them out in the truck.  This one turned out alright. “Super88 - Modern... Isn’t It?” I think it was eventually released on the album, “Light It Up.” - Nick

...or if it sounds OK already, that's a good starting point. Some day, I'm going to charge $$$Millions for this.  Get it whist it's free. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... (that's me snoozin). Chicken is delicious.  I want to fry it. #MakeItLoud
