Bandcamp corner:

• A slice of essential local music is back in circulation with a new resissue of One Hundred Dollars' debut album Forest of Tears, with both a vinyl repress and digital/bandcamp version available. The first flowering of Simone Schmidt's emerging songwriting prowess and a crack band using country music forms to explore hard times in the big city and beyond. I recommend reading Schmidt's recollections here. (And meanwhile, it's hard to understate how much this album, this band, these songs were a foundational element of this blog — this was the sort of thing that I wanted to hear, wanted to document, wanted to share.)

• And as a tasty companion to that, here's a hitherto-unreleased single from the folowing year with One Hundred Dollars and Rick White (who produced Forest of Tears), with Schmidt taking the vocals on a cover of White's "Pain" while the band backs White on a cover of "Nights in White Satin" on the flip.

(And if you hadn't realized, the whole Blue Fog Recordings discography is now on bandcamp, so you have no excuse to be listening to essentials like Wyrd Visions' Half Eaten Guitar and hard-to-find rarities like his shared 12" with Castlemusic.)
