RANDALL COLBOURNE - "Clarinet Works"
Randall Colbourne is best known for his intense trapset work on the dozen+ albums he released with Paul Flaherty on the Zaabway, Tulpa, and Cadence music labels during the 1980s & 90s. Withdrawn Records has several of the Flaherty/Colbourne CDs and vinyl records in-stock, click here for a look.
Recorded in his cellar, Colbourne played all of the instruments (Bb, Eb, and alto clarinets; drums, bass, and live electronics) on Clarinet Works, the drum great’s first solo album. It is a 71-minute beauty. Just below are mp3s of two of the album’s twelve tracks.

Each copy of Clarinet Works is housed in an engraved metal case. Nothing fancy about the engraving, just the thirteen letter album title hand scrawled into tin. Bare bones packaging which in no way does justice to Colbourne’s outstanding music.

Midnight Dragons vs. Thee Feejee Mermaids
Originally planned in the early ‘90s as a battle of the bands split 10” vinyl release, the clattering drone of Thee Feejee Mermaids bowing & grinding gongs and other metal scrape-ables, versus the sloppy rock and roll clanging of the two Midnight Dragons tunes on the flipside.
Thee Feejee Mermaids side recorded August, 1990:
Eeyore craps into a Tibetan singing bowl, adds a pinch of sparkle, snaps a Polaroid, and mails it to John H. Sununu with the title “Look What I Did.”Midnight Dragons side recorded August, 1992:
Midnight Dragon was a shitty brew marketed by shitty people. The exploitative swill is no longer sold around these parts. Neither the song "Midnight Dragon" nor the band name Midnight Dragons are intended as endorsements for that shameful piss.Due to a problem with the pressing plant (they wanted to be paid), the split 10” EP never was released. 14 years later, it is now available as a three song CD-R.
MORE WORDS: Had the 10” vinyl version not been scrapped, Thee Feejee Mermaids’ side would have consisted of an eleven- minute edited version of the tune “This Song Is Thirteen Minutes Long”. Blame the inordinate data capacity of the CD-R format for the entire 21-minute version appearing on this edition. Also, the first few copies of the CD-R featured the aforementioned 21-minute ditty sandwiched between the two Midnight Dragons rock songs. In order to appease the Continuity Cops, the three tracks have now been resequenced.

Shrinnirs Live at Charlie's CD-R
23 songs recorded live to audio cassette at Charlie Krich’s place on June 3, 1992. A handful of tapes with photocopied covers were made and given away that summer. This CD-R reissue features the same cover photo as the original Tulpa Tapes release, and the lo fi cheap cassette sound quality (hiss and hum and occasional squeaks & squeals) has largely been retained.
