8/28/25.

About a year ago, we post about a live CD from The Minneapolis Uranium Club, "Live! At Arci Taun!". That band has been around since the mid 2010s and has now earned the tag "egg punk" which didn't exist when they started.

One of its members, Harry Wohl, has been quietly making great solo records since 2020 under the moniker Harry Sings! (New York, New York). "The Schoolhaus Recordings" came out last year on cassette via Idle Music, but now, Wohl is releasing "Christie's Toy Box" on Blushing Grinning. This appears to be the debut release for the label.

Both releases are not presented as punk but more of gentle indie pop. I'm sure Wohl could just as easily make these punk, rock, egg punk or whatever he wanted to make it.

Two names brought up in the Bandcamp notes on the Schoolhaus release page are R. Stevie Moore and The Velvet Underground. Schoolhaus was mixed with help from a member of Urochromes.

https://www.mixcloud.com/brendan-wells2/unemployed-ep-48-and-dont-call-me-shirley/ A link to a new episode of my radio show and if you’re someone who creates things then stop trying to do the same shit everyone else is doing right now. The world doesn’t need more of the same thing. It only makes sense people start off imitating others and that’s a great way to learn and if your band sounds like Parquet Courts or you’re making art that looks like whatever net art has evolved into today then 9/10 times it’s going to be a faded photocopy because it lacks anything that shows a sense of personal view. It will be something people see and maybe even something celebrated right now but shortly it is going to be dated by a shift in trend that is likely going to leave it looking like what it is, which is lacking definition in a way that is not worth revisiting. Many people can agree with the problems of a disposable consumer structure when it comes down to something as seemingly inoffensive as plastic straws so why not figure out how that can be applied to a creative culture where content evaporates when you give it any kind of critical inspection and you’re left with a dollar bin of music from 2007 with triangles and irregular shaped “crystals” drawn on the cover. The least I think people can do is seek multiple and varied influences while learning so that a culture we involve ourselves in by choice can help encourage us to think for ourselves because an audience and community deserves to experience something during their day worth remembering instead of another week where everyone will say “Nothing, just working a lot” when asked what has made their time special.

It’s the first Autumn broadcast here at Omega WUSB as we fill in for our allies at Purple Starlight on Labor Day (U.S.A.). We say thanks to one of our favorite labels, Brooklyn’s own Wharf Cat Records, with three hours straight of post-punk, noise rock, psych-, punk, d.i.y., and other city-cool sounds to alleviate the pain of high monthly rent and gentrification. Please enjoy one of our last bonus shows of Omega’s tribute-laden Year Seven.

First Omega deluxe broadcast airs on September 7, 2019 (10 PM New York City).

We really appreciate all of our listeners tuning in. Thank you and stay tuned for more Autumn Omega.

$100... one fucking hundred dollars! THIS is why we can’t have nice things. If you pay more than $20 for a punk rock tape like this, you’re not only stupid/wasting your money, but you’re supporting this fucking tape inflation... please don’t do that, I’m too broke for this...
