Monday, June 27, 2005Song Of the Day: June 27, 2005This Gomez is not that Gomez. Chuck Cleaver led this interesting Ohio trio and then formed the Ass Ponys with ex-members of the Libertines when both bands splintered. As far as I know, this EP is the only evidence of their existence, a charming and low-key little record that fell through the cracks.

This post (THANK YOU JON) reminds me how badly I wanted to get the first Ass Ponys CD a while back only to find that it goes for pretty cash on the E-Bay. Anyone have it?
This is a gem, Jon. Thanks again.
I probably should have mentioned that the first Ass Ponys album is Mr. Superlove."
I own Mr. Superlove and would be happy to burn it for you. You can e-mail your mailing address to fackityfack@yahoo.com and I will mail it to you.

Early Ass Ponys Re-release!
The Okra Years (2005)
Ass Ponys will soon release The Okra Years (TOY) on the Shake It Records label. TOY consists of the first two Ass Ponys albums, Mr. Superlove and Grim, re-mastered and packaged as a single unit. The re-mastering effort is supposed to bring up some of the muddied vocals found on the original releases, and clean up the albums overall. Allegedly, there are also some studio outtakes, live performances, and other not-previously-released stuff. A couple of the original tunes may not appear in the re-release. The package is also supposed to include some great art and pictures from the era.
Watch for it at Shake It Records!
TOY Update
According to Darren at Shake It Records on February 11, 2005, the scope of The Okra Years has changed yet again. Audio re-mastering is complete, but delays set in. First, it was expanding from one to two disks. Then, it was to assemble and layout photos and art; then, it was to create the liner notes. The most recent change involves video, yes, video, and the release date remains in limbo. Good things are worth the wait, and it seems The Okra Years keeps improving with the length of the wait. Patience is a virtue, but darn, I'd love to see this project released at last.
