| "You could break into our homes, pull out all the boxes and cases and drawers of tapes and cdrs, strap on headphones, and listen to the hundreds and hundreds of hours of music we have somehow managed to collect/compile/create over ten years, or you can buy this before its gone. Limited to just over 200 copies, handmade gatefold sleeves with spraypaint/collage/ distress upon each (not always at once), this 2LP compilation features the humdingers of the entire decade of adventure that has been Old Gold.

Artist: V/A Title: Songs from 20th Century Homes Format: LP Label: Old Gold Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Back when Old Gold was all about cassette tapes, we got a curious package in the mail from Winnipeg. In it was a letter from Michael Dumontier extolling the virtues of our Howard Finster cassette release, some highly amusing collaborative drawings, and a "Tape for Old Gold" crafted with unique handmade slipcase/booklet. That began an ongoing correspondence/swap of art and music with numerous Canadians within and around the soon-to-be-famous Royal Art Lodge collective, all tied together by Dumontier. As our enthusiasm for their efforts grew, we revisited the first tape in 2000, and this time it sounded like a record. Michael tracked down what musicians he could, made a few changes, and the result is Songs from 20th Century Homes, an LP with hand-screened cover released in an edition of just over 200, with songs by Eyeball Hurt and the Medicine, Drue and Myles Langlois, Albatross, DJ EZ Pot Roast, and two tracks from the always mind-melting Untanned Hide of a Young Cow (whose 10" on Old Gold is sold out, sorry), and snippets of artwork by Dumontier, Marcel Dzama, and Neil Farber. All in all, a brilliant glimpse into an odd world inhabited by people who must stay inside the majority of the year. Intimate, powerful performances and tomfoolery sure to be the life of your Christmas party." - Old Gold. |

Artist: ZANDOSIS Title: Format: Triple CDR Box Set Label: Old Gold Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Too many recordings piling up, so we said: boxset. Over 3 hours of sounds ranging from early-70s-European-improv and ambient metal to an hour-long piece involving ping pong balls and feathers and, of course, everyones favorite "George W. Bush Go Straight to Fucking Hell." Actually, three or four versions of that one, real fierce like. All lovingly drawn labels and sleeves, a black-and-white booklet, in a box with color cover and a Cyrillic title. Edition of 23. Sold out." - Old Gold. |

Artist: ZANDOSIS Title: Black Bomb ATL Format: CDR Label: Old Gold Country: USA Price: $9.00 |
| "45-minute cdr of live assault capturing the three-sided dice of the mighty Zandosis. Includes our Christmas show in historic Auburn Avenue soul/reggae club; an old-school-Merzbow set; and the infamous Stickfigure showcase set with a crowd so in-tune we want to bear their children. Edition of 26 lettered A-Z in painted/screen printed/glued AOL tri-fold case thing. Sold Out." - Old Gold. |

Artist: ZANDOSIS Title: Chasing Ghosts Format: Cass Label: Old Gold Country: USA Price: $4.50 |
| "Sounds like Zandosis first PSF release, just in time for 1974. Les Rallizes Denudes plus Kaoru Abe and a weather damaged reel of ?-inch tape. Merzbow, Nihilist Spasm Band, Blowhole and Gorgoroth are not so much analogues as they are (lost) reference points. The ancient easterners used to believe that when they ate animals, they took on their spirit, their properties. Here, Zandosis does that very thing by ingurgitating the zeitgeist of Cages "1st Construction in Metal," Merzbows "Rainbow Electronics," and the writings of Emile Cioran. Like Cioran---and Suzuki, even---Zandosis are adept at unclothing despair and laying bare its humor. If chasing ghosts is supposed to take you somewhere, then its to a Cambodian whorehouse where the porch folk sit all day and watch townies get mauled by rabid dogs. Think on this; add some teriyaki, sake and warm Budweiser and youll know where theyre comin from. Highly recommended." - Copper Green, 2004. |

Artist: ZANDOSIS Title: Z vs. W Format: 7" Label: Old Gold Country: USA Price: $5.00 |
| "In January of 2000, we got together with no pre-conceived notion of what wed sound like. T-Def (Charlie Parker, Free Bass, "Destroy All Music" on WREK FM) was known to be loud, frantic, noisy and deliberately so. Stewart (formerly of William Carlos Williams, Lustmordem, At War with Satan, and PissChrist) played drums with a tiny Han Bennink on one shoulder and a tiny Dave Lombardo on the other. I had an alto saxophone, a microphone and a borrowed amp. Together, the sky would be the limit or the sky would fall. Fast forward to March of 2003. That motherfucker George W. Bush is sending the country (and its young men and women) to fight a pre-emptive war for no real good reason. Wed been playing very free, early-FMP/Haters style music, and focused our sonic output on those pushing this invasion. The result was about 15 short bursts of energy directed at 15 members of the Project for the New American Century. It felt good. Damn good, in fact. And it sounded good. The next time we played live, we played this new hardcore set. The lazy art crowd in the house enjoyed it. We dug it, too, sent it to the Czech Republic, pressed it onto 220 heavy vinyl records, wrapped them in print shop cleaner paper, and are unleashing it on the world. Chris may list the song titles. He may not. Either way: "Colin Powell Uncle Tom" was omitted by the pressing plant, so if you want to hear that song, gather two of your friends, count to four real fast and start screaming liar and/or fucker or any combination of the two while your friends unleash a torrent of rage. When youre done, say sell out." - Marshall Avett; Old Gold. |
