A while back, I did a little post on the best American punk band ever, bar none. In case you missed it, I'm referring to Big Black.
At the time, I wasn't specializing in rarities, so I only included one non-album song in the post. Looking back, that seems a shame, since they have so many fantastic songs that weren't on the albums.
So, to make up for it, here's a few more:
(files expired)
Big Black - "Il Duce" Released as a single, but never put on an album.
Big Black - "Crack Up" One of two songs on the God's Favorite Dog compilation.
Big Black - "Everyman For Himself" The other song from God's Favorite Dog, and one of my favorite songs.
Big Black - "In My House" (Mary Jane Girls cover) Issued on a clear vinyl single given free with some copies of their live video, Pigpile.
Big Black - "Strange Things" From the Atomizer LP, but left off when they transfered it to CD.
Big Black - "Newman Generator" A Peel Session of a song they never officially released.
Big Black - "Hunter's Safety (Tommy Bartlett Dies in Pain)" The one in the original post. From the Middle of America compilation.

Great site. Il Duce was on the Homestead collection The Wailing Ultimate, well worth the search as a great overview of this wonderful label.
You are correct, sir (or madam), Il Duce was indeed on The Wailing Ultimate compilation. I am shamed in misstatement.
But, honestly, thanks for the correction, and thanks for visiting the blog.
Awesome, thanks a ton for these.
Although your bandwidth has been used up with that box place so I guess I'll just keep coming back here until I can get these files.
Yeah, sorry about that bandwidth thing. Seems to be getting worse each month. I switched services back in mid-year, so all the newer posts should still be working. Check back at the beginning of each month, and you should be able to get these.
