Fishbone EP

On Friday we had our work Christmas party at a wine bar. I opted to contribute by playing some tunes. I couldn’t think of anything worse then being in a small space, making small talk, and listening to bad music. People loved the tunes and some discovered new music. It made me think about how I’ve been making mix tapes, mix cds, playlists and sharing music with people my whole life. Even as a kid I'd make mix tapes from the radio. When I was in late primary school/early high school I had a little pink retro bag and I'd jam it full and take it to parties. I'd sit by the CD player and play tunes. I guess some things don't change.

Fishbone, was one of the discoveries on a mix cd a friend made me. The CD was a gold nugget of tunes and bands I hadn’t heard before. When I pulled this out today my husband went “ah the Godzilla album”. I was confused. Despite many a listens previously, I hadn't realised (or forgot) one of the tracks on the second side is about Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts. I feel like there are other tracks and politics they should be remembered for, but I guess the Godzilla one is unique.
