What ever happened to the Connotations? I have a great cassette
of them recorded live at CBGB, featuring "You Are the Ketchup in
my Coffee," "Orange is a Good Color for Love," and the legendary
"Gentrification Skank." But the cassette is undated. Ideas?

I've been trying to track down the exact same cassette. It's rare to not even find a mention of a band on the interweb. One of my favorite cassettes as a kid, lost it, must locate those tracks again for my own kids. Circle of life and all, esp "gentrification Skank" and "You are the Ketchup...". I've checked used places online to no avail. If I could remember the label, I would go down that road. I've contacted some obscure labels before for odd out of print pieces and they're usually happy to help, but this might have been self-released. I will post any success I have and will check back in for same from you.

Just saw this! I have lots of the tapes if anyone wants me to mail them to you. I can also send you a digital download of that album, and other more obscure Connotations recordings. We're all still alive and playing music. We did a reunion show about fifteen years ago. We had a website for a little while but it's gone now, I think. If anybody wants to learn more, hear about future reunions (remote possibility), or get those recordings I mentioned, email me: ***@gmail.com. I also have a new band called Woof Woof Meow (tinyurl.com/wwmeow) that is doing some of the old Connotations songs live here in Cape Cod. You can also check out my own website here: michaelholtmusic.com. Thanks! - Michael

And these videos of a 1986 show at CBGB. The video starts shaky but soon settles down:

part 2

Enjoy!
