Goosewind - Goosegg (1992) [Baby Huey/Shrimper, BABY-004/SHR 702, 7"]

What Does This 7" Sound Like?

Goosewind! I'd love to tell you more about Goosewind contemporary to this time period but it's very hard to find any of those tapes. I'll let the pros tell you about it:

Descriptions of this release from available catalog inserts:

[Insert from BABY 005]
"Chunks and snippets of psych/trance soundscapes from this lower-California group.
Lo-fi, messy, spontaneous and pretty fucked. Quite original, too. A joint release with
Dennis Callaci's Shrimper label.

[Insert from BABY 007]
"Chunks and snippets of psych/trance soundscapes from lower-California.
Lo-fi, messy, spontaneous and pretty fucked. Quite original, too. A joint release with
Shrimper."

*if you opened those full-sized jpgs to take a look, you may have seen that both of these
Baby Huey catalog inserts identify this 7"'s Shrimper catalog number as SHR 002. But
because it's a 7", it's actually SHR 702. SHR 002 is Sunburned Fat by The Bux. I wish I
could link to an index page for that, but I would need to get a copy of the tape..... anyway,
the Shrimper insert I'm about to cite also refers to this one's Baby Huey catalog number
as BH004, so you can see how I've learned to just roll with the punches.

[Insert from Shrimper Catalogue 1992]
"Six pieces exclusive to this single. A dope-smokin' afterbirth
of the no-wave scene? It's stark and beautiful, like a
hallway."

And transcribing the back of the sleeve:

The young :American carelessly moves up the mission. Headed for
the Business district. His will is the wind he's looking for
a tempo to guide his pathetically undirected life. Dropped out
of school a handfull of times it gets so boring. Now he's
looking.for a job in San Francisco. Why? I geuss its some
kind of change. User s stand next to walls you'd think their
dead id if they didn't blink. Aurors of emptiness act like bb
blackholes, if you get to close you get drugged in. Mexican
gangs cruise around but I'm safe as a stupid white boy. Nothing t
to prove by fucking with me maybe out of~~-boreed---~~ boredom
Weed is pretty beat 8 in this town got a eighth for 55 but it is
good.3 Need to plug my mind into something get somewhere I hopwe
to find the Hurdy Gurdy Man I know he's out in there back to
somewhere. What? What? What? What? What? What?What? Ha Ha Ha Ha

Changes come with your eyes shut your body on fire. Her necks
bent back, she's bearly breathing. My god what have I done?
e Thump thump thump. There's dancing on the bottom floor no one
there but they dance all the same. How strange? Keep the mter
in the red don't stop untill you see smoke.

Lets waltz I asked her? but where she pleaded I looked atround
the busy intersection well there in the middle of the strreet of
course I your mad she responded No just take my hand and she did
off we went within the third step we left the ground .

Hey"now!" he screamed out of his third story window to the city.
Hey now this baby." the whore responded bending over at him
fuck off slut.
;Sure thicg but you justs kissed ~~yur~~ your salvation ~~hgook-~~
goodbye. She strutted down the street. A sleek But rather tall
for biing Japanese her ~~hae~~ hair was died fire ~~eni-~~engine red.
he grabbed his beer and watched her sway out of sight the ~~lones-~~

The street lights pale illumination made him look like some ghoa
ghoasthovering in the window. He was far away now asking the sa
