I know Nod had a couple of singles distributed by Blackjack although I don't think they were manufactured by the label. I'd dig those up but I'm kinda tired...

That was actually how Nod got signed to Smells Like Records actually. Thurston Moore ordered a load of records from Blackjack which just happened to include Nod's single "Nutmeg". When Sonic Youth played at the University Of Rochester (I think it was) in 1995 they dedicated their encore to Nod, prompting Scrappy Joe Sorriero of that band to send a demo to Smells Like...

Thanks for the help. I found this one on a mail order site and it looks like a Blackjack release, maybe even Vol. 1 of Bulbjack. Also seems like this Nod band had releases on Baby Music, but not Blackjack. Still not sure what jack1 and 21 are.

COMPILATION EP
Product Title ENJOY BULB TODAY
Product Type EP
Product Description BULLET IN THE HEAD, MATH, GALEN, MR. VELOCITY, THE MANY MOODS OF MARCON MAGAS, BROWNIES & BLUEGRASS, ALUMINIUM QUEEN, EARLYMAN, SITE, CARDINAL SIN, LIQUORBALL, ICKY BOYFRIENDS

Baby Music was Nod's own label.

Not sure if anyone cares a decade or two after the fact, but just in case anyone is staying up late at night wondering ...

The Blackjack 21 matrix number was reserved for the unreleased Cardinal Sin 3-LP box set that would have been a split release with Ceres records (Jack21/Ceres02); the only releases on Ceres were the Hawkwind tribute (Ceres01, both LP & CD) and F/i's 'Helioscopium' (Ceres03, CD-only). A DAT preliminary master for the set exists, but that's as far as it went. Although the world would probably be a better place had it actually been released (in an edition of 2 or 3 hundred copies at most).

Most (not all!) of the bands on the label are ancient history now, but Liquorball played a show in San Francisco last month, and played at one of two Steve MacKay memorial shows around this time last year - the bigger of the two was in Steve's long-time hometown of Pacifica, with Mike Watt headlining (playing a Minutemen-intensive set, with an encore of Funhouse side 2, Jello singing); the next night saw a smaller show in San Francisco, with Liquorball headlining after Glitter Wizard played, both bands being joined by Adam Beach on saxophone (both Steve and Adam played on the first Glitter Wizard album).

I do still care, thanks for clearing that up. I managed to find most of those old records, except for the Brainbombs LPs which are too pricey for me. I'd love to hear that unreleased Cardinal Sin box, and now that you mention it, I think I recall reading about it in one of those Poo-Poo lists which I acquired years later.
