It’s the incredible free! MutantMutant PopPop X Mailorder Catalog

There’s another new Mutant Pop CD in the world. I speak, of course, of the third CONNIE DUNGS full-length, Songs for Swinging Nice Guys. There has been a steady stream of requests for the band’s two out of print 1995 demo tapes rolling into DUNGS Headquarters. The band and I have decided to put all 25 songs back into circulation, warts and all. There’s some great stuff included—first versions of big hits like “Missy and Johnny” and “Twenty Years,” classic tracks that ended up on singles like “Cowboy,” totally unheard music like “Yaay Jesus,” “Froggy,” and “Julie’s Got a Fetus.” Almost every track here is either previously unreleased or an alternate recording. These being songs recorded by a young band in a local studio rather than the polished output of an ex- perienced band in a professional studio, it’s obvious that this material is more raw and rather more roughly hewn than the band’s current fare. No matter. This one is for The Fans, the people trying to get inside Bran- don Dung’s skull to figure out what makes him tick. There’s little doubt that Brandon is one of the most interesting and important songwriters of the 1990s pop- punk scene, along with and Joe Queer. I can say with 100% authority that you’ll understand Brandon and the band a little better after paying a visit to this time capsule. Of course, if the songs were crappy and the re- cording was really bad, this wouldn’t be worth owning. Rest assured that the songs are great and the recording is quite satisfactory! The early DUNGS The material tends to be either goofy or angry. Sometimes both. There are 25 songs here and there is definitely CONNIE DUNGS something for everyone to get excited about. The CD comes with a big-ass 20 page booklet containing lyrics, photos, a couple little Brandon doodles, and some poster art. It’s a pretty nice little package. I hope that you check it out and do like I did in 1995—fall in love! I’m gonna open up preorders on the next two Mutant Pop releases at this time. MP-30 is gonna be a DOUBLE EP featuring 9 songs by THE FRATELLIS, THE PROMS, RUTH’S HAT, and SPODIE. I was gonna call it “The Big Three-Oh” and put a photo of Snorkel Bob porking out on a birthday cake on the sleeve, but later blun- dered into an amazing cartoonist named Jeff Wilson and commissioned him to do the cover art. The official title of the release will be “No Band Photo, Volume 1.” If you think I’m gonna repeat the stunt in the fairly near future, you are very wise. It will be limited to 1100 copies, of which 200 go to the bands. First 500 on blue vinyl, then comes black. All four bands are fabulous, they blend together nicely, and they all ironically come from the same region of the country (2 from Michigan and 2 from Ohio). It’s a great release featuring four killer bands doing some of their best stuff and well worth the five spot it will cost you. The other pre-order title is MP-36 DARLINGTON “Bowling Betty” another great record from one of the best pop- punk bands in the country. I still don’t have the room to tell you the story of how this record came about, I guess that will have to wait for the next catalog. Suffice it to say that there are three songs here, they’re all terrific, and that you need this one really, really bad. Hell, you need ALL of DARLINGTON’s releases really, really bad! It’ll be 500 copies on purple opaque vinyl followed by black, so you might as well get in line for that. These should both be December releases, and there’s a pile of stuff coming out right behind them, so start saving your pennies... See ya! —Tim If you wanna keep getting these catalogs, all you have to do is order a couple records every now and then— pretty simple. I’m gonna be purging the mailing list shortly, so if you haven’t said howdy in the last 12 months or so, you might wanna be getting a couple records here pretty quickly... Thanks again for your support! —t.c.
