Civil Dysentery discography

In the spirit of this blog---aka a personal wankfest of self-indulgent nostalgia---here's another discography for a band I was in.

I could write about Civil Dysentery for days, though I won't subject you folks to that (at least for now). I wasn't in the band when they started, but I joined pretty shortly after we all moved in together at the Chapman St. warehouse in Jingletown. (Apparently, Jingletown is "one of the fastest growing arts districts in the San Francisco Bay area", but that sure as shit wasn't the case in 2002).

In any case, I loved this fucking band, and though (again) I was kind of a dick at the time, as 19 year olds can be, I have nothing but good memories about playing these songs. Here are the tracks:

• Civil Dysentery "Why don't you love me anymore?" CD
• Civil Dysentery "Live on KALX"
• Civil Dysentery "Just Burried" 7"

I played bass on the CD and on our live set on KALX, but not on the "Just Burried" 7" (I'd already moved to New York at that point). That was a huge bummer for me --- I loved the Guitar Wolf + Melvins style of the songs on the 7", and had chipped in more than usual on the songwriting, if I recall --- but so goes it. I still think the dark groove of "Cancer" (on the 7") was the best thing the band ever recorded.

Once MRR said we sounded like Black Fork and it made my fucking decade, even if they were probably wrong. I also have a reel-to-reel tape of some lost songs I'm willing to sell to the right bidder for $50 and a burrito.
