Oh man... I've long lamented the out-of-print availability of Mark Edwards' early
My Dad Is Dead albums from the 1980s. Then this week I discovered the whole lot downloadable for free from his site:

If you're into that monotone vocals with the heavy, thundering rhythm a la Joy Division or, more of a contemporary, The Wedding Present, definitely worth a listen. AllMusic likes
The Taller You Are, The Shorter You Get best, but my sentimental favorite is
Let's Skip The Details. Start with "Five Minutes" or "Baby's Got A Problem".
Pure bliss...and it's free.
Mark Edwards, you
rule, dude. You almost make Ohio cool.
