I'm thinking the compilation most likely came ouback in the 1990s when folks were going apeshit over 60s garage rock - would explain why there isn't any web presence for the Muziek Expires label. This song has been recomped since on the 'Maxium Freakbeat' CDR compilation that the Past & Present label put out - the FaintlyBlowing blog currently has that comp available for folks' listening pleasure.

Aired April 29th, 2010

Played a lot of Modern Method releases during this program - Modern Method was a label based out of Boston, Massachusetts during the early to mid 1980s. Here I focused primarily on a few of their weird post-punk, synthy bands. I can’t find much information on this label, though there is a little bit avialable on wiki and a pretty good discography with pictures at KillFromTheHeart.com.

Didn't quite have time this week to put down a lot of information about every individual group - though if you have questions/comments about a specfic band, let me know.

Also - want to give a quick thanks to all those who were able to donate to the KDVS Fundraiser last week. Your support is much appreciated.
