Gaunt had their moments back in the day. Part of the surprisingly rich Columbus, Ohio scene back in the early ’90s, along with the New Bomb Turks and Cheater Slicks, Gaunt made a couple of great records before making the disappointing Bricks and Blackouts, which showed the band with all their rough edges sanded down. Anyway, ever since I heard their single “Jim Motherfucker” from the 7″ of the same name, it’s been in my head on many occaisons. It just rocks. The record it’s on is pretty hard to find so I was pretty stoked to find it on a pretty kick-ass blog called Something I Learned Today. It looks like the  blog’s writer and I were into a lot of the same stuff back in the day and the site has been a gold mine of stuff I missed out on or just never got around to. It looks like the site may be losing steam, which is too bad.

Here is the page with “Jim Motherfucker” on it.  I don’t know if he’s cool with direct links to MP3 files so I am linking to the page it’s on instead. The version I’m writing about is on the 7″. There is another version on the Whitey The Man 10″, but I don’t think it’s nearly as good.
