Chumbawamba - Japan Only Mini-Album - Amnesia (1998)


 One of the more interesting releases in the band's discography is this Japan-exclusive "single" for "Amnesia" off Tubthumper. It features the single version of the song... and is followed by a mix of acoustic versions and "country & western" versions of songs from previous releases.


Credit goes out to whoever collected a lot of hard-to-find Chumbawamba and put it all in a Google Drive folder. The Music's Not A Threat thanks you. Yes, I'm still working on it.

Future bootleg I might put up here!


A bootleg I've been working on entitled "Your Number One Fan" for Majesty Crush. Currently it only includes remastered versions of three Love 15 demos I found on YouTube, but I plan on also remastering some live material you can find out there. I just started it, but I'm pretty proud of this art.

John Dugan - D!1 (1999)



Released in 1999 on CD. I've been looking for a rip of this for years ever since I found out about this on RYM. Finally decided to just buy a copy on Discogs for like $5 and rip it myself. Please enjoy!

Currently working on a massive bootleg that I'll post here when it's done.

Figured I'd update you all on a big project I've got in the works here. I've been planning and putting together a potential tracklist and have started looking for the music. For those wondering, the artist the bootleg focuses on is Chumbawamba. Currently, we're sitting at four "discs" (really just a way of separating the sections) of songs: their early demo material, live performances, songs from their aliases and other related bands, and a miscellaneous collection of hard-to-find songs.

I've also got two potential titles: The Music's Not A Threat and Stop Now, What's That Sound?. Still debating which one is better.

If any readers have any rare Chumba music, send it my way at katieosmondsbackupemail@gmail.com. Thank you.

The Smiles - U.S.S. Felicia EP

"Oh, Felicia, you're the one for me!"

I posted this to YouTube a couple of months back and realized I never posted a download link for it. So, why not post it here, too?

For those who don't know The Smiles (which I assume is most of you), it's a side project of The Van Pelt and Native Nod's Chris Leo. Considered his "best and funniest songs", it's a short, 8 track, 10-minute EP of fun indie pop from the king of spoken word emo. It was released on Colin Clary's label Sudden Shame Records, which also saw releases from Leo's brother Ted's band Chisel.

I got this download through an archive of the Blogged & Quartered blog that was on archive.org since the original post link's dead. I thought for a long time this would be lost media until I found the download in the previously mentioned archive. Hope you guys enjoy this short blast of fun.
