Grim-O Comix Sequence
Columbus Discount Records
$13.50
Vinyl LP
I fell in love with this record yesterday. I mean fell really deeply madly in love with it. I spent yesterday on Tina & Kevin De Broux's rooftop (photos coming soon) and then as the sun decided to leave us we all migrated downstairs for "one more" and enjoyed the early evening listening to their (more mellow) records.
Grimo-O Comix Sequence was recorded in 1974 by Tommy Jay and Mike Rep. This was the year they both graduated high school in Columbus, Ohio. God, this album is what so many bands are trying to record now: the lo-fi dizzy, honest, analog, deep sea-like sound that doesn't always come off quite right (unless, of course, you are Kurt Vile). This album is that sound. It's two teenage boys writing and singing about minimum wage jobs, assholes, Ohio, girls, etc...
This record is magic; I really fell in love...

Such a nice review for a great record!
You need to come over more often for some record listening sessions. We need to get a portable player to being up to the roof...
...now that you guys have money and all...HAHA!
God, yesterday was great. Your roof is perfect!
Enjoy the leftover sun dried tomato lentil cousous - it'll be great with grilled veggies.
Yes please; we need more wine, mellow albums, family portraits and the rooftop in our near future again. Thanks again for hosting - although you did nothing but get drunk!! Haha, love you dear.
Kisses, V.
