Severed Heads had two actual record companies at this time, though not really a huge amount of money. (They had some hits in the late '80s and early '90s that were helpful to the bank account for a short time.) So Tom got extremely good at beating the crap out of things.

all of this sounds like my kind of music production. which albums do you recommend starting with from their Bandcamp? (finally my bandcamp account’s getting more play)

"Living Museum" is a live album from the final tour a few years ago, that's good for the pop songs. "Clean" and "Blubberknife" are noise records. Severed Heads started in the late 1970s as Tom making his own tapeloops.

edit: looks like you can't actually buy Living Museum from the site? But you can play it!

nice! I grabbed Clean and Blubberknife; it looks like Living Museum can’t be bought on Bandcamp so I’ll have to look more into that one later. this is a great excuse to start listening to music again with the fancy (for me) audio setup on my desktop

Severed Heads also goes extremely well with headphones, so you can try to work out what that thing is at the top-left of the mix.

it’s time to bust out the good headphones (unironically, these feel like wearing a Fisher Price toy but are the best headphones I own for listening quality)
