MUSICA DE LA FREE SCHOOL: WE NO NEED NO STINKING BADGERS Various Artists 1998

 

Discogs

 

Mitch from Rumah Sakit, put a compilation together of San Francisco bands. Originally, Musica de la Free School was either Mitch’s or, more likely, Chad’s (from Tin Mak & The Ants) term used to reference SF bands who liked playing together (Dilute, Tin Mak, Tsui, Uberhund, and a few others). The comp is named that since those were bands in that ‘scene’.

Later, some of the bands moved away, dissolved, or changed members. Kenseth, from Tarentel, and Mitch started working together and formed Rumah Sakit. ‘Musica’, the term, just kind of died with all the changes.

So, ‘Musica de la Free School’ was an early term for the bands in SF that had similar musical tastes and ideas. Later, Mitch called the dilute/Sakit improv group, the session, the song, and his SF comp that name. (refering to the song "Night Ascends And Descends The Confines Of The City" in which Musica de la free school is noted to be the artist for, in the sickroom records sampler)
