Description
Endless Boogie: "Boogie" 2005, USA/JK 040. Disc is M-, cover is M-, and it has an insert. Perfect example of this rare private press LP from New York. I've been informed that this band's music sounds incredible after copious amounts of weed and beer. I'm also told there's a connection to the punk band The Sorcerers. Here's a review/bio I found online:
In an advertising age where exclusivity is nothing more than a marketing concept, it’s damn-near-noble when a band has been around for eight years and has a devoted cult following. They’re a New York band that’s been playing together since 1997, playing shows since 2001. They released their first two limited-edition records, simultaneously, last year. Both were untitled, both were vinyl-only, both sold out almost immediately. The lead singer/guitarist is 51-years (or, if you prefer, three-Arctic-Monkeys) old. There’s no place online that’ll tell you where they’re playing, and they don’t play gigs unless they’re asked.
They’re called Endless Boogie, and their name is their address.
"Endless Boogie have managed to release two LPs of homespun rehearsal concoctions - volume one in a limited edition of 500, volume two in a numbered limited edition of 150 (well, 299 were pressed, but 150 were placed at random at really bad record stores and thrift shops all over town). For the uninitiated, Endless Boogies music could be described as remarkable in its niggling mindlessness, its funereal parade of yawn-enforcing riffs, the pseudo-light it throws upon non-problems. And, of course, this is a really good thing." - ? After 4+ years of playing the shittiest dives in NYC (and the Slint-curated ATP fest..), Endless Boogie have finally released, not one, but two lps! Both hand stamped/screened with inserts. Highly recommended!
I sort of shrugged. Oh. A Jam Band. Filed them away. But I started running into the name more frequently – or, at least, recognizing it – and every time it was in some gushy description about how revelatory these guys were.
I rail against The Jam Band from time to time. While I don’t worship at the altar of the three-minute-thirty-second mark, as I’ve gotten older I like to think I’ve grown to appreciate songcraft a little more. Noodling is masturbatory, redundant, wasteful. If you’ve got a point, get to it. But my inner teenager thinks that the forty-five minute version of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” Pink Floyd played in Oakland in 1977 is the greatest thing since nothing. My inner teen wants to sit, stoned, at a friend’s pig roast, drinking cheap beer, listening to some dude talk to his guitar forever, man.
