[kj] (OT) Rediscovered . . .

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I was also into Shudder to Think briefly, circa their "Get Your Goat" LP 
era on Dischord (love "Shake Your Halo Down" from that LP.

INTERESTING SHUDDER TO THINK FACTOID: Shudder to Think's first LP was on 
Sammich records, a DC label run by ... Amanda MacKaye, sister of Ian 
MacKaye of Fugazi/Minor Threat/etc. fame. Sammich also was home to late 
80s/early 90s DC hardcore juggernauts Swiz.

Anyway, Amanda MacKaye in 2003 or so put together her own band, The 
Routineers, whose only LP I know of is pretty darn good:
