New Lee Wadlinger EP available today
Don't say we never gave you anything for free. Today Next Best Records has posted a new Lee Wadlinger EP for free download on the NBR site. The record is called The ECB Years: 1996-1997. It's a sampler-type compilation of songs Lee recorded during those two years, a period in which he was between bands and trying to find his way as a teenage Ohio musician (for those scoring at home, the way he found was the GBV lo-fi way). If you've ever wondered what kind of stuff Lee recorded around the time he so famously (ha ha) opened for Elliot Smith (we're going to ride that story into the ground I guess, at least until he opens for Dylan), this is your big opportunity.
The material is a bit uneven, though I bear a particular affection for "SAM" (which is an obvious tribute to Swearing at Motorists) and "CB RNH" (which I suppose is a subtle tribute to Swearing at Motorists). Either way, it's worth a listen or two. After all, it is free. MP3's, as well as a more formal description/liner note-type deal, are here.
