Lookout!
This nOde last updated April 3rd, 2024
and is permanently morphing...
(first
emerged November 27th, 1999)
prominent late
eighties to nineties punk record label. DIY before
everyone DIT (did it themselves). started by Lawrence
Livermore who acquired two assistants in the early on (Pat
& Chrisser). i believe one of them is now the
owner. the early years successfully encapsulated the
bay area power pop sound revolving around the anarchic
fundom of Gilman Street Warehouse. personal
space/time relevancy:
1987 through 1991. the leapfrogging vs. slamming, bags
of trash, the innocent fun of Green Day,
the soaring melodies of Samiam, the diamond-as-coal of
Crimpshrine, and the original ska/punk fusion ENERGY of
Operation Ivy. - @Om* 5/30/00.

- He's got a song about a love thats
gone away
Sometimes his eyes shed tiny teardrops
when he plays
His touching ballads are just there
sitting to buy
They call it music but it seems more
like a lie
Artificial life in the marketplace
Epic ballads by the musical whores
Life is so boring project theirs onto
yours
Hear the anthems of the pepsi generation
See the martyrs of our spiritual
degradation
Artificial life in the marketplace
American culture disneyland freak
show
Screen in your living room
A window for your tomb
You can't compare to the world sitting
there
Repress your insecurities watch and
escape
Give me artificial give me superficial
Give me a commercial life that can't be
bought
This I say to you what I say is true
Emotions aren't a product to sell and
cannot be consumed
Coming attraction its coming real soon
Prince is having lunch with pat boone
Want to know where all the bullshit goes
It goes down the sewer to be disposed

with the exception of the first track,
this release was playing nonstop for the longest stretch that
i can remember of any band, including the addictive early
Green Day... this was thrash pop perfection with clean middle
production. what put the band over the top was the
backing vocals of Danny Vapid. Ben Weasel clearly nailed
the lyrics with equal doses of cynicsm and spastic wit, and
that wistful sadness peeks through at the perfect
moments. it turned on punk rock cliches by defending
spirituality (_Science of Myth_), and took on the b.s. within
the scene. a breath of fresh air during that era. - @Om*
