Sad To See It Go: No

San Francisco sludge from ladies, some of which were in the better known Subterranean records band Frightwig.  Drummer Bambi Nonymous, who was also in Alternative Tentacles band Tragic Mulatto, sings on the superior B-side "For ?!?!"  That one is a one minute sludge rock explosion.

"Have A Good Time" is a repetitive sludge jam sung by drummer Rachel Thoele.  She now plays bass for the reconstituted Flipper that is touring with David Yow singing.  This makes it essentially a Flipper cover band, which is something different than Flipper itself.  You could call this 3rd generation Flipper on the family tree, but at the time I bought it as it's own entity.  Maybe I asked myself was this a female Mudhoney knockoff at least style-wise?  A fair question flipping through the singles bin in 1991, one that would go straight into the buy pile to find out.

Anyway both of these single tracks can be found on a full length called Skiz that came out around the same time.  Records like this are sort of "scene" intensive and don't hold up as well over decades.  It was a bit surprising that there were veteran band people on this, but sometimes that determined what gets pressed and what doesn't.  I probably bought it because it looked noisy and unfamiliar in a stack of singles that also were noisy and unfamiliar.  Once the unfamiliar became familiar I moved on in this case.  Had the CD crossed my fingertips in a cheap bin for $3 I might've bought it, but that never happened.

Definitely a genre record of it's era.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
