silence

hello. i am currently out and about and will be for several weeks. when i return home, i plan on getting back to recording some stuff that i've been sitting on for a while. this of course is contingent on me securing a new 4-track as i seem to have fried mine.

despite my being away, i plan on posting up some random recordings and whathaveyou.


the shadow caster is wrapped in plaster.
my telecaster is going up in flames.

the ohio driver companion

















earlier today i promised no one that i would put up the newest tape by the end of the day.  that minute has rapidly been approaching.  i  immediately regretted saying i'd get it online today. but by god, i did. 


UPDATE: the two tracks have now been split into separate songs.  they're posted both as individual tunes and as the complete sides over on archive.org.  


anywho, a lot of the recording of this was somewhat improvised and ultimately put together on my trusty handheld tape recorder.  much like the older cassettes, which was fun.  some folksy, some noisy. i think there are some good moments on this tape. also, i may end up uploading a higher quality version as well someday.  


side a:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv. the son of my father
v. hell is hotter than hell
vi. murder mystery pt. 1
vii. colors on the run
viii. fake accents
ix.
x. 
xi. virginian land
xii. a night for 
xiii. me on the run
xiv. murder mystery pt. 2
xv.


side b:
xvi. away from me
xvii. 
xviii. you on the run
xix. sobriety doesn't make you right
xx. ghost town high school reunion
xxi. acetylene flares
xxii. seattle's last song

DOWNLOAD



































also, there are a lot of other takes and songs from these tapes.  i'll plan on trying to make them available soon.

one year

wow. one year ago today i started this thing.  gee, i really feel like i've accomplished something.  thank you to anyone who is listening.  much appreciated.

so in honor of this momentous occasion (not just mere coincidence) i will be posting the newest tape-o-noise later on today.

update: the ohio driver companion

a little bit back i said that the newest installment of trash would be coming soon.  naturally, i was wrong and it's taken longer than i expected.  i can safely say now that progress is being made and it should be up within the next week or two (that sounds vaguely familiar).  be patient no one.

farm tape #3



















handheld tape recorder folk jams. all recorded live. this was the very first time playing with a good friend on percussion and i think it turned out pretty darn good. pretty much all done on the fly. recorded as one long track. mightily fuzzy.

1. young/reckless
2. hidden tracks
3. castle
4. joe's song
5. on the road
6. song for sam
7. away from me
8. let you down (cuts off early)

coming soon

















hope to have this next tape finished up within the next two weeks or so.

in the same vein of the "william of orange" tape.  but "william of orange" was really recorded in only two days.  it was recorded in a rush to have something for a friend to hear before getting together to mess around.  don't get me wrong, this will be rushed too.

anyway, there will probably be some overlap in songs on the tapes.  i don't know, i've enjoyed recording it so far.

new stuff or something

here are some new rough demos or whatever. not sure where they're gonna end up.

i am getting tired of having to record this stuff in a closet, though.  i can't get loud.
