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)


listen

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.

ohio driver:


acetylene flares:

farm tape #2

finally getting around to putting this up.  this is the other side to the "farm tape" that got posted a few weeks back.  wasn't really even recorded on that farm, but it was recorded on the b-side of the same cassette tape over the following few days.

1. strange dream pts. 1&2
2. the shape of you
3. honey
4. you are a pine
5. everything is / april 8th
6. she's going away again
7. bones / dirty blonde (tape cuts off right towards the end)

"everything is" and "april 8th" are by jeff mangum. hey, how 'bout that new neutral milk hotel box set? exciting, huh?

bones / dirty blonde:


here's the first side of the tape.

if there's anyone that knows

is there anyone that cares?

if you like any of the music put up here and want a cassette or a cd or something (doodle, micro machine toy car etc.) let me know. shoot me an e-mail or leave a comment or something.  i'm curious to see if anyone responds.

william of orange

1. fake accents
2. honey
3. ruby lips
4. kim & karen
5. you are a pine
6. secret songs

update: forgot to give some credit.  a few lyrics in you are a pine are written by david eugene edward, of 16 horsepower.  everyone go listen to them now. particularly the song dead run.


note: seeing as this was recorded over the span of about two days, it's somewhat of a stretch to call it an album. but for the time being that is what it is being called.  after all, it has a cassette cover.

here are some songs recorded at the same time as the Halaka split album.

1. jane ponder
2. joyce's farm
3. this town is empty now
