This comp came out in the mid-90's and was sort of a sister tape to the
XEROXICA compilation. It complied a lot of bands from the Sacramento area that Maximum Rock N Roll would always say were "Competent at best." If you've been a fan of these bands for years like I have, you know that they are way more than competent and have provided a soundtrack to many excellent nights with friends. If you are new to this brand of Sacto nerd-pop, THE BANANAS will be your gateway band. After that, why not ease into
NAR, followed by a healthy dose of the NOT VERY GOODS, NO KILL I, THE FOUR EYES, SCARED OF CHAKA and THE KNOCK OFFS? There's even three unlisted songs on here and I don't know who the fuck they are. The last song in particular, kinda blows my mind in a really good way. Download it and let your inner pop-punk nerd shine.

thanks for the tape! i always liked the swimming in the secret c - comp. allthought that was cd-only. do you know anything about the gooch from brandenton,fl??? they had a tune called "hands at ten and two" on that comp.
I heard of them, but only on that comp, I think? I wish I still had that CD. I think someone swiped it from me.
I saw a guy in the restaurant the other day wearing a hoodie with a rifle printed on the front and big varsity letters that said "Defend Pop Punk." What does this mean?
I'm scared to find out.
Finally! I don't even have the master to this anymore so even I have to download it! What are the extra songs like? I have a vague memory that they're Clarence Carter songs from a record called "Dr CC" that janelle played for me. This comment will probably get buried before you get a chance to read it.
I own "Dr:CC". One of them is a song that repeats "It's a dude with a shirt..." and some guy rapping. It's really good/weird.
Oh shit, I need to send you the casssingle comp. That song is on it & is in fact inspired by a party in Chatanooga where Joel from Four Eyes got so wasted he started roaming around the rather sketchy neighborhood & even ended up going back to the wrong house, opening a stranger's front doot & walking through the house looking for everyone. At some point he came back to the party with a guy he'd met named Jimmy who claimed he was "looking for the dude...with the shirt...with the dude on it".
Please send me the cassingle comp. I will wait a maximum of three years before I drive over to Sac and get it. p.o.b. 40786, SF, CA 94140
that's a great story about Chattanooga. I've been seeing a lot of dudes with shirts with dudes on them lately.
Any chance of a re-up of this?
yep!
