i feel obligated to drop some links, so here goes:
the mutant pop records mailing list hosted by knock
knock records is a pretty interesting site to see what the punk rock
kids are arguing about.
some crazy kids in
my old school-town (davis, california) set up a website some time ago with
some funny stuff. they review restaurants in davis, review shows,
and generally talk about life in davis. and, thankfully, reading
about living in davis is a lot more exciting than actually living there.
the moo la-la
records and ss records homepage is a cool place to check out if you
want to know about the best music out of sacramento. ss records is
a brand new record label that i don't know anything about, and moo la-la
records is a record label/distributor with some great stuff like the bananas
(the best pop-punk band right now..?) new cd, the lil bunnies and sewer
trout. the site is also a host to a range of links that will give
you a surprisingly lot of information about the sacto scene and the city
itself.
the big star reference
is a link site to one of the greatest bands in the world.
the fastback's giant lever
is the official site for the fastbacks, which as far as i know, just broke
up a month ago. they were classic pop-punk at its peak with some
tremendous song-writing. one of my favorite bands for life.
that's all for now

half.com - probably the best place
to buy used cds cheap. and no auctioning.
allmusic.com - my favorite site
in the world right now. i go here like a couple of times a day.
very thorough and even has some punk stuff you may not expect to find.
awesome resource, except that mike daronco guy is an idiot.
history of rock music
- this site is also very extensive. p; lists here galore!! from
best singer to album to band of all time/decade to best cd stores, this
is a place to check out.
that's it for now. maybe more in the future...

ps. i almost forgot. the new seven inch is now being distributed on mutant pop records & vital music. it's that good!! coming soon to a record store near you.

okay this is just some new shit that's been going on here:
okay, for all of you who wanna spend money, we have a new (!@!!!!) 7" for sale. it's our only seven inch and our first REAL legitimate release. it's called "got the blues" and it's good. 9 songs in 11 minutes. got the picture? those songs include: honeymoon in roswell, pop punk wuss, she loves a t-1000, buffy, leo, sabrina, and more. you won't find a better 7" this millenium.
a lot of people have also been asking about the "hate you!" cd. about a year ago, when i had a burner in my computer, i copied both smurfs demos into one cd, creating a 36 song cd (60 min) entitled hate you. but since then, the burner has been ejected from my comptuer. as people ordered the cd, i would have to go over to friends' places and bum off of their burners. this has worked in the past, but it is now very difficult for me to burn cds from other people. basically, i've worn out my welcome, so until i get a new burner, i will not be selling hate you! cds unless you really REALLY want them, and then i'm gonna have to pull some strings. capeesh? however, we are still selling tape copies (i know they're crap compared to cds, but this is how we got ours copied in the first place). they are $2 each, or $3 all together. post paid. with that you get lyric sheets, a sticker, and buttons until we run out of buttons, and then we'll just give you an extra sticker. sound like a deal? it is. to order check out the order page for addresses & etc.
some more news for the future: the smurfs will meet again for the summer, but it is doubtful that we will record anything. nobody has bothered to write any songs. it's damn difficult when you don't get to meet every once in a while and jam. but oh well. maybe next time. we do have plans to create ONE smurfs page. right now there are 3 smurfs pages, one created by each member, and we have different prices/addresses/information. it's something we shoulda done a long time ago. okay that's all. watch ghost dog and get those smurfs purchases cummin.
