Jesus Eats Amoeba
Jesuseater featured singer Shawn Brown from the great D.C. band
Swiz
. Jesuseater broke up in 2002 and were only around for like 3 years. I totally slept on this band and now I’m kicking myself for it. I once remember somebody describing Swiz as “hard, but not in a New York hardcore tough guy way”. Swiz’s sound was urgent, intelligent, and definitely full of power. Jesuseater was no different, except a little bit catchier. Below are 2 songs, one from each release ("Step Inside My Deathray" CD & "Self Titled" CDEP). I’m sure you’ll be able to find these in the used bin at your local record store.

Speaking of record stores
, I just haveta’ say that ever since
Amoeba Music
came to Los Angeles I haven’t been the same. I got a new hop in my step as I walk past homeless people, not paying the collection agencies has never felt better, and hearing Laura Bush’s speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner actually made me chuckle…okay, okay, I full on laughed my ass off. The world just seems brighter and more pleasurable. You see that glass over there? Let’s just say it ain’t half empty anymore….oh yeah baby, you betcha’ sugar, damn straight nigga.
So over the weekend I took L.A.’s awesome subway (for the second time) to Amoeba with one goal in mind: To conquer that clearance bin like a frat boy conquering inexperienced freshman girls. Honey, that bin didn’t see what hit it when I walk through those doors. I found some pretty nice gems for $4.99 and under. I even got one free because I bought more than four. Now that’s putting the customer first in my book. But after the “H” section I couldn’t take it anymore. The clearance bin got the best of me. Shitty CD after shitty CD….“
Enuff Z’nuff
” in deed. So I made my way to the regular used bins and of course found a lot more great shit and spent way more then I wanted to.
The moral of this (longer than it should be) post is this: Give that clearance bin a second chance. I know it probably let you down on more than a few occasions, but go back to it. Don’t let the Alien Crime Syndicates or Aquabats or the Cave In “Antenna’s” scare you away.
Below are the tasty morsels that I found in Amoeba’s clearance bin.
Bad Religion- "Against the Grain"
This has been in my cassette collection for years and now I finally have it on CD. Not as good as "Suffer", but pretty damn good in it's own right.
Buddyhead- "Suicide Sampler"
Yeah those kids at Buddyhead are dicks, but sometimes they're funny dicks. This disc has a lot of bands I dig.
Division of Laura Lee- "Das Not Compute"
I wasn't gonna ever get this CD, but after hearing some MP3's I was sold. Definitely better then their debut.
The Fucking Am- "Gold"
This is The Fucking Champs and Trans Am teaming up again. The first time was The Trans Champs and I liked what I heard on that. I haven't listened to this one yet, but I see it has that crazy ass drummer from the Mars Volta, Jon Theodore. That dude is insane.
Canyon- "self-titled"
This is Canyon's first release. This band reminds me of My Morning Jacket with their country psychedelic vibe. I dig it.
