Life In Cold Blood

” …asked why he did not give “credit” to God, Attenborough added: “They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds. I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator.”

– Sir David Attenborough

Indecision “To Live And Die In NYC”12”

January 17, 2009 by Jeff J Jawk 6 Comments

The Indecision “To Live And Die In NYC” was the first 12″ (and only there was a Brother’s Keeper 12″ planned and mastered, but thats a story of another day) that I put out and I wanted to do lots of cool variations. The best of which was the metal cover. Fashioned by Chris Lunsford (who sang for Downpour at the time), this it the prototype, weighing in at an actual shit ton, they proved to hard to make without scratching the shit out of the record getting it in and out…

Silkscreened cover version, Billy Cole burned the screens and we printed these things in our apartment. Using Frank Miller Sin City graphics… 150 of these were made.

Dragbody “Such Simple Machines” 7″

Here’s the Dragbody 7″, white vinyl version, no labels and clear lyric sheet.

It took me forever to print all of these lyric sheets and cut them all out, all resources commandeered from Georgia State University.

Ebaying this one.

The test pressing, which Kenn24, Billy Cole and I screened on our coffee table and then attempted to cut ourselves and bleed all over… came out pretty sick. Razor included.

We rejected the first batch of test presses so we enclosed one version of each in the sets…

Chokehold “Tooth & Nail” 7″

January 17, 2009 by Jeff J Jawk 3 Comments

Digging through the Jawk Records vaults recently as I have had some kids emailing about some records had led me to find some gems. Here is the Chokehold “Tooth & Nail” 7″ on orange/pink limited to 50.

I am ebaying this one.

I pressed and never released a 2nd pressing on clear with no labels that I was going to take to Europe with Indecision when I got a job at the last minute and ended staying home. Pushead had done this with the 16 “Crystal” record and I love the way it looked.
