My friend, Erick put out the aforementioned comp, briefly lived in the same town as this band and loaned this tape to me for digitization, so here is what he had to say about it: "David Jukes was and is a legendary figure in Little Rock indie music. Word was that he was in a new wave band that had made MTV in the 80's. Here, he is joined by Little Rock's MTV band of the 90's, HO-HUM for demos of his sweet, understated, idiosyncratic, personal and catchy-as-hell songs. MAGIC CROPDUSTERS went on to make a couple of slicker, but still upbeat and catchy indie-rock CD's a'la PAVEMENT in the early 00's, but I'll always love this best."

Jukes was in the Gunbunnies in the '80s. He's on the right in these pics. He was a fixture at Vino's, for many years, making pizzas and playing music. I once saw him go from the pizza line to the stage, playing a set in his work apron. The nicest guy you'll ever meet.
Chris Maxwell recently released an LP on Max Recordings.
