Dow Jones and the Industrials, MX-80, Gizmos, Gynecologists, Dancing Cigarettes and 70s Indiana Punk, by Tom Kipp

Thanks Teee-ummm!

On a parallel track, I’ve been intensively investigating the output of Gulcher Records [MX-80, Gizmos, Gynecologists, Dancing Cigarettes, et many al.] for the past two years or so and would recommend the punkier quadrants of their extensive catalog unreservedly!

I must have about 20-25 cds now, and am fascinated by this mid-to-late-Seventies Indiana punk scene that even a square like David Letterman was prob’ly well aware of!

Cleveland may well have boasted the best punk scene of that time, but Indiana’s was similarly jaundiced in its opinion of “Amerikan Kulchur”, more Electric Eels than Pere Ubu, shall we say!

Dow Jones, et al. appear on Gulcher’s RED SNERTS compilation, which I actually own on the original 1981 vinyl, though most of what I have from the label is on their [very cheap!] latterday cds.

By the by, can’t wait to acquire this DJ + I collection!

Punk to the grave as well,
