Things have been pretty quiet on the Bum Creek front of late. One part of the group is working solo under the name Thugquota, but they’ve not released anything official since 2010’s Al, which was a barrel of laughs. While we patiently wait, tinned foodstuffs and a shotgun at the ready, we’re pleased to offer you a stream of this track from a forthcoming Chapter Music LP, which celebrates that label’s 20th anniversary. With the help of a calculator, we’ve calculated that label head Guy Blackman has been releasing records since most of the content-generating monkeys here at Crawlspace were adolescents. A stat well suited to the bottom of a Tooheys New cap.

The double LP is called 20 Big Ones, and it features 20 rare and/or unreleased tracks from groups connected with Chapter Music on fashionable coloured vinyl. Acts include Dick Diver, Primitive Calculators, Small World Experience, Minimum Chips and exactly 16 others. They’re only available at shows though, so you’ll need to attend either the Melbourne or Sydney birthday celebrations to pick one up. Record collecting recluses, it’s time to harden up.
