Absolutely Zippo- Time Capsule Comp Cassette Arica Pelino Version xfer f/official release Tape

More semi-unknown stuff from Arica Pelino’s collection, via Robert Eggplant. This tape is labeled Time Capsule and it has some commonalities with the Discogs release with the same title and artwork(Naked Aggression is on both, for example) but this one clearly has a different tracklist than the original documented version. I’ll ask Robert if he created multiple Time Capsules- it sure seems like he did.

Cassingle Classics- Secret Center Sacramento Comp w/Sacto Apes, Similar Guys, Ninjas, Carnies MORE

A couple months ago after I posted the Xeroxica tape, Jason Dezember reached out and asked if I wanted a better quality version of the tape. He then got me in contact with Scott Miller (from Secret Center Records) who sent me a nice care package of all kinds of cool stuff, including the Yahtzee Punks comp which I had been trying to find for years!
So the rest of this week(until Saturday) is Secret Center week. I really appreciate it. The first one is the Cassingle Classics comp with a bunch of bands I was not familiar with. Great lofi punk! Zoom up the pic into full screen for the tracklist.

12 Bands from Benicia Punk Compilation w/Crimpshrine Fifteen Pinhead Gunpowder xfer f/ official tape

Here is one from Arica Pelino’s cassette collection. Since we are on a Green Day moratorium until the tour ends, you get a bunch of really cool and sometimes obscure stuff from her collection.
This comp tape has some well known bands along with bands I have only seen on Gilman St. flyers and never heard.
The first 3 minutes of this tape was trashed- the tape was totally serrated – I am surprised it even played through. Fwd to 3min for a more audible recording.
