Even the Swiss newspaper Blick copares this to:
"... the parents of the school bully organizing a new type of tournament because their son wasn`t picked for the proper one!"
Love it!

There is a famous word by a priest who was caught by the Nazis. It teaches some lessons - for those who understand some German...

So finally: I`m not a fan of split single`s but on this one I discovered a gem: a completely unknown band (at least to me) on the flip with a terrific song!
30. JEJUNE Early Stars (split 7" with Jimmy Eat World)

An additional one:
44 years ago on this day!
As a teen I walked into a studio to record two songs I had written playing on a borrowed strat!
I was embarrassed of it ever since & never re-released them. :)
Funnily enough it is sometimes sells on ebay & discogs

Apropos, wie tief bist du drin? Interessieren dich Randerscheinungen, z.B. David Roter (Co-Autor einiger #BlueÖysterCult Songs)?
Bambo ist ziemlich lustig, hier ein pisstake über, na, du ahnst es (he fell for / a French vibrator...)

Thanks to my weakness for anything Icelandic I found Benedikt Hermannsson who writes excellent songs (Icelandic or English)!
They deserve a lot more attention if you ask me!

If I made a list of the Top100 acts I have seen live, these guys are definitely among the Top5!
I "discovered" them when I heard this B-side of a 10" at a record shop!

Watt started covering Blue Öyster Cult back in MINUTEMEN days with his friend D.Boon, both huge BÖC fans.
Here he is joined by the Bouchard brothers & Chris Whitley...
but no video nowhere :(

With Sebadoh he was one of the inventors of lo-fi in the late 80s, his solo material also featured some incredible, puristic tunes. Like this one on Sub Pop.

Yet another all-time favourite band of mine, one that is notorious for their incessant output, on albums AND on 7".
Here`s a great one!

Luckily BB changed his early rejection of releasing singles and gave us some great live recordings... or this lovely 7min version of an album track!

In the mid-80s Mike Scott wrote some really great songs, some could only be found on b-sides.
