Yeah I like this enthusiasm but maybeeee wait till the year tournament gets to it's next stage before proceeding, or else it's going to drown out interest.
Lookout is a great choice too btw! 😁 Screeching Weasels, yeah!!!
You a Lookout fan? My dad knew a lot of the guys in the early-ish scene there cuz he went to Cal at the right time, so he was friends with the guys from Mr. T Experience, as well as Sweet Baby (and Bomb Bassets and Hi-Fives). Somewhere he has a tape with him on saxophone for Sweet Baby in an early experimental phase doing more Tuxedomoon-style stuff with Dr. Frank from Mr. T Experience. He also thinks he has the tape of them with Cometbus, too. He remembers seeing Operation Ivy "probably a few times" and just not being interested. I got lots of stories I could share probably about the label if he's alright with em if this tourney happens.
Also Screeching Weasels are great. Do you know Pansy Division or The Donnas? Both somewhat ignored acts from back in the day that are great, early queercore and riot grrl respectively. _________________

The Donnas weren't/aren't exactly underknown, and it's Screeching Weasel btw. 😉

Yeah, I love the Mr. T Experience too. And early Donnas R-A-W-K! Were The Queers on Lookout too? They were great too. I've heard of Pansy Division, but can't remember if I like them or not. I do know that they were considered pretty important at the time, but they never made it into my rotation.
How could your dad not like Op Ivy?! That's crazy!
I'm not at a computer later, so stick me down for Warp?
Seeing as it's you. Although I could swear somewhere that JoD mentioned he wanted it if this tournament ever ran, so if anyone can provide evidence of this you can have a soundclash to decide. _________________ 'Reggae' & t'ing Folk 'n Stuff SHAMELESS RECORD DEALER PLUG
