Anyway Records / 118 E. Patterson Ave. / Columbus, Ohio 43202
Possibly the best known & most prolific label in town. It's run by Bela
Koe-Krompecher through his home and Used Kids Records. He has an unwritten
(yet written about) policy of only working with friends and others who drink
beer with him - quite a business arrangement, ehh? - Joel

(614) 268-7251
Stu (Hard Black Thing) is the drunk man behind this one. I guess he's got a
new partner named Karen now. There's a lot of drunken weirdness on this
label - especially the unlisted cassettes, from what I've heard. - Joel

fer business (he studied it) & music led to a great reputation perty darn
quick. After just a few releases, Caroline agreed to distribute BS stuff -

Chrome Frog Records / P.O. Box 82372 / Columbus, Ohio 43202

Datapanik Records / PO Box 10243 / Columbus, Ohio 43201
Datapanik's most famous offering is probably the Bumped by Karoake comp CD.

lots of releases; I just wasn't into 'em when they came out. - Joel

Major Label e-mail: [email protected]
Major Label is a new "demo-tape" style label out of Univ. of Miami run by
Rich Housh (brother of Jake Housh from Moviola). His first release is a
handmade tape featuring: The Pale Horse Riders, Grifters, Felt Pilots,
Moviola, his own band Detour and a host of others ... The tape is obviously
thrown together, but in that is its charm. The lack of slick production
from all of the bands almost demands this type of handmade distribution and
production ... Borrowing from the Shrimper design, Rich will be making
copies out of his parent's home this summer. The tape should be available
by September in select record stores and several cities outside of Cincinnati, Oxford, Columbus, Cleveland ... If you want to get the tape, contact
Rich: [email protected]. I would say the thing will go for 3-4 dollars.

MindWalk / PO Box 02364 / Columbus, Ohio 43202
MindWalk is a way to say that I paid for it. It is my funding idea rather
than a label. But I consider any of the work I do for Moo Magazine (layout
stuff) as MindWalk also ... If you look on the new Thomas Jefferson Slaves
CD you will see "layout and design: MindWalk Music" So I guess it is the
name of a bankrupt company that still does art and music for the sake of
music ... - Ted Hattemer (Stupid Fuckin' Hippie/Moviola/TJSA)
MindWalk Catalog:
MW 001 Moviola "Waste"/"Gin & Tonic" 7" (Anyway/Eardrop co-release)

OKra / 1992 B North High Street / Columbus, Ohio 43201 / (614) 421-9455
I think OKra is still around, though I heard rumors it wasn't not so long
ago. It's mainly a country and folk rock type label. Not many of the bands
are exactly local, though the label is. - Joel

Pencil Boy
This label was basically the outlet fer the Karma Farmers and their friends,
the Hangboxers. It got its name from the guy who gave pencils to those
interested in the Farmers' mailing list. I believe it dissolved when the
Farmers did. - Joel
