NOTE: Despite being a rehash of tunes I've played before, this one was pretty significant...I switched from a Friday night 2 am timeslot to Thursday at midnight. That made a lot of difference as far as listeners go, and I tried to play a 'best of' the first few months for new ears. This was also the first show where I played an album all the way through--something that I did pretty much til the end of the show. This time it was Stone Harbour's lo-fi psych-metal disc 'Emerges.'

The O discography, part 4
Alright, so this will be the last part in the Completely O Discography posts. That's not to say Druggy G's post-O output (under the name gONNA gET gOT) aren't worth hearing, because they most definitely are. However, I'd feel a little bad about posting his current projects for free because he desperately needs your monetary contributions.First, here are the other posts.
In the last edition, The O had just botched a potential deal with giant label Interscope due to bad management and internal conflicts with the overall sound of the band. They decided the best choice would be to part ways, Nepo continuing his forays into electro-pop (one song every year or something like that...dude needs to make a fuckin' ALBUM) and G continued rapping as the aforementioned gONNA gET gOT. Here is an odds-and-ends compilation of O tracks compiled after the fact by the dudes, and the last few O tracks which appeared on various label handouts in the later years. I'll post a compilation of Nepo's solo output thus far (I don't think he'll mind cuz it's a whopping 8 tracks, all of which have been available online for free for some time now) next week sometime, because I don't seem to have it on me now.
The O - 'Junk in tha Trunk' LPDescription: 'Raw, unreleased O' as the subheading says. 19 tracks unavailable on any other release by the group, culled from their entire recording career. We've got tracks cut from the original 'Nightmerica' album ('I Wanna Fight Back,' 'Coke,' 'White Gangsta'), newer Nepo solo cuts ('Yer Warpin' Me,' 'The Humans') and tons of other shit.
Tracklist:
1. This is the New One2. No School Friday
3. You're Already Dead
4. Some Kidz
5. Yer Warpin' Me6. Singin' in tha Sun
7. The Humans
8. Killers

The O discography, part 3
Part three in my ongoing installment of this fine, and almost completely unheard, group's catalog. Check the other two posts for more of a backstory...
When I left off, Druggy G and Nepo had just returned the states after their debacle with UK giant Polydor Records and their aborted "Nightmerica" LP. Apparently, they never stopped recording--even when it was obvious they'd have to find another source of income, and these post-"Nightmerica" recordings would be finished in the states. This is sometime in 1999, when Mindless Self Indulgence lead-man James Euringer heard The O and decided to make them the first group signed to his Uppity Cracker label. Things were looking up, and the group was in negotiation with a US major label (I probably shouldn't say which one) for the release of their new full-length, appropriately titled "Mutant Home Demos."
However, shitty management and internal struggles (The group was becoming concerned with Druggy G's rap-preoccupation, which was the exact opposite direction managers/labels/etc. wanted them to take) ensured that MHD would NOT come out on any label. In fact, only a sample cassette was released through Uppity Cracker.
In all, MHD ended up being a 19-track kaleidoscopic view into the two musicians' drugged-out lifestyle, all recorded in various home studios in the UK and the US. They sold it themselves on burned CD's out of the basement of a tire factory--a long ways from the promise of major label backing. However, this DID allow for more rapping, and more clear-cut distinctions between Druggy G's and Nepo's songwriting styles. Check it, and the sample cassette, which has slightly different songs.
The O - 'Uppity Cracker Prostitutes...' EPDescription: Sampler cassette distributed through the Mindless Self Indulgence website around '99. Five tracks of The O's newly revamped sound. This tape included an alternate version of 'Let it All Hang Out,' which appears on MHD as well. This alternate version replaces the word 'nigga' with 'wigga' for obvious reasons...I can't find it, though, so you get the same version of both uploads.
Tracklist:
1. Anal Thermometer2. Let it All Hang Out
3. Ernie's Dead
4. The Way that We Feel
5. Destruction
DOWNLOAD
The O - 'Mutant Home Demos' LP
Description: The second O full-length...a collection of home-recorded tunes from the UK days and some newer stuff, too. More of an electronic bent than the 'Nightmerica' LP, and a LOT more rapping courtesy of Druggy G. Somebody said to me once that the video for 'Anal Thermometer' appeared on MTV2 a total of one times...but I dunno if I believe that. The best moments on this LP are very likely the best of the group's output altogether.
Tracklist:
1. 'Painful' Thermometer (title changed for legality issues)
2. Tha City
3. We Alwayz Knew
4. Square One
5. I Cum Apart
6. Lead to Fly
7. Outsiderz
8. White Man at the Ice Cube Show
9. Everybody
10. Touch
11. Not My Day
12. Click N Boom
13. Dream or Wake Up
14. Lettit All Hang Out (title changed for legality issues)
15. Ernie's Dead, Bert's Alone (title changed for legality issues)
16. Da Burbz
17. Born to Lose
18. Do It (Come On)

...that's about half of it. More to come soon.

The O discography, part 2
And, continuing with the uploads portion of my program, here is The O's first full-length album, the aborted "Nightmerica" project. Originally, this was going to be the record which introduced The O to the UK and America, but they were dropped by EMI before its release.
To make matters worse, this was the guys' first encounter with newly-made sample laws. The EPs covered in last week's post featured a wide array of illegal samples culled from the bands' favorite albums. They originally tried to make "Nightmerica" similar, but had to remix the entire album, removing all uncleared samples, on a VERY limited budget. Unfortunately, Druggy G seems to think this hurt the album irreparably, and he has a certain hatred for it...I dunno...I still think this is their finest moment and has the best songs and the best merging of Nepo and G's styles. See for yourself, though. Regardless, it's probably one of the few major label albums by a virtually-unknown and very young band where they were allowed to do the whole thing themselves in a shitty apartment. Also, it's probably one of the only albums co-produced by members of both PM Dawn and the Cocteau Twins.
The O - 'Nightmerica' LP
Description: The punk, rap and Beatles influences finally come together for the group, resulting in one hell of an album. 'Kill Yer Teacherz' channels the horror-rap of Esham, while 'Get Wasted Time' is the ultimate pop single. If you can make out the album's lyrics, they're pretty disturbing sometimes.
Tracklist:
1. Fucked Up Dreamz
2. Kill Yer Teacherz
3. Get Wasted Time
4. Nausea Bluez
5. Now
6. Brooklyn Drug
7. Xmas at Bob's
8. He Doesn't Love Me Anymore
9. A Celebration
10. Dream tha Fuck On
11. Liked You Better Living
12. Prozac
13. Shakin'
