Budd (EP)

Budd is the first release by the Chicago noise rock band Rapeman. The first three songs on the EP were recorded live. The title is a reference to Budd Dwyer,[3] a politician who committed suicide during a televised press conference. The lyrics of the title track contain references to phrases used during the incident.

It has been re-released as bonus tracks at the end of Two Nuns and a Pack Mule, the band's only LP.

Studio versions of the first three tracks were originally planned to be used, but the band later decided in favour of live versions. The demo tracks are currently available in trading circles.

Pitchfork ranked it 6th on their list of "Steve Albini's 10 Best Records", writing that what made the title track "all the more harrowing, not to mention innovative, is the vast amount of empty spaces and granular surfaces [...] [worked] into the near-eight-minute song. It’s a brooding, abstract dynamic that would set the tone for much of ‘90s post-rock, from Slint to June of 44."[4]

Personnel
gollark: The value of stocks tends to go up a bit over time (in aggregate, for individual ones or shorts amount of time maybe not), and the magical power of compound interest™ makes that significant.
gollark: Not really. Regular people can buy stocks. Probably only large companies are doing HFT, though.
gollark: Apparently finance might be an application for it, since fibre optics are somewhat significantly slower than light, and the satellites' laser/microwave links wouldn't be, and the minor latency advantage would provide an edge in high frequency trading.
gollark: Wokerer: modulate some kind of neutrino generation thing, and have a detector on the other end, so you can just send signals straight through the earth.
gollark: Really? That would be better, then.
