Welcome to Out of the Dungeon, a many part series detailing a decade of NSFTM noise, hip hop, 'n' adventures from top No Sunlite for the Media scholars, historians, fans, 'n' collaborators. Medians share their thoughts on the absolute values of various NSFTM rekkerds, while we provide free audio streaming 'n' hi-quality file purchase of all the albums at our bandcamp page.
Math 'n' Ev discuss the media in drama class, 2k1.The shoddy, skippy kitchen/bedroom studio recordings that followed for the next few years incorporated mainly vocal noises, jokes, acoustic guitars, 'n' percussion (captured on CD-R 'r cassette 'n' traded to classmates, bearing such titles as No One's Best Nightmare, If You Can't Play it Just Break It, The Wu-Tang Clanjubar, Positivwater: Return to Boise, 'n' Victorious Overgrowth). An everything in the pot celebration of non-catchy aspects of all our favorite punk heroes 'n' noise artists, most of whom we only emulated based on reading, research 'n' a few snippets of sounds since we were too allowanceless to purchase the rare titles. We dreamed of rhythmlessness, music as humor, punk messages, noise over nothing, buttmics, 'n' pop covers shot thru malfunxioning devices.
The live shows we could manage to wrangle then (parties, basements, taking our equipment to McDonald's - similar to the places we go today, hmm?) contained a chaos that rarely included written songs, 'n' often forced us to play with instrumentation 'n' electronics with which we were unfamiliar. This only increased the oblivion to which audiences were thrust. We never rehearsed. All of these first live shows ended up bootlegged, eventually tossed around as NSFTM is Yr Face: The First 6 Live Shows, the recordings of which show an unexplainable genrelessness (none of the live shows sounded at all similar, because of the radically different line-ups/set-ups/atomspheres), but yet the presentation was always a very-NSFTM manipulation of lo-fi, spirited...absurdity. & here the NSFTM habit of getting shut down by police 'n' angry venue-operators was born.The 2 Big Live Bootlegs That Sealed Up This Style
The first major exposure for NSFTM came under the weirdness of getting to perform live on the college radio station of the University of Maryland, WMUC. The CD edit of that sessions represented a weird DC area noise/rock/monster sound 'n' the first satisfactory recording of NSFTM. Perhaps you had to be there, or maybe yer just too square if you don't get it. Either way, we've made it available to download here. August 2003.
In the same vein, although more noisy/confrontational, the Live + Lying in It recording was NSFTM's most brutal venture into noise, created a few months after the radio tape. Have a taste here if you dare. February 2004.
These 2 recordings will be explored in depth by No Sunlite archaelogist L!Z in the upcoming week on this blog. After those live leviathans of noise, NSFTM moved to an even stranger combination of sounds with the Tea House/Better Than Kollege eras, gaining a structure 'n' a wider spectrum as opposed to straight goofnoise. But these early years will always stick out as image-forming 'n' wild rabid bonkers. To stay as true as that without selling out, while becoming more accessible 'r meaningful, would prove the task of No Sunlite for the Media from here on.
