listen & download

coming soon (buy yourself some ear muffs)

updates from the place where i am:

1. a new ep - some recently recorded music and found sounds. primarily on handheld cassette.
2. a collection of outtakes and unused songs. these will range from pretty darn old to pretty darn new.
3. after i drunkenly fried my 4-track (not quite sure what happened, but it happened) i have purchased a new multitrack recorder. it should be waiting patiently for me in ohio when i return. after which, i intend to get started recording another ep of sorts that i have been wanting to get down for a while now. all songs written. just need to be recorded.
4. the split with Halaka and Pile Records now has over 300 downloads on archive.org. So thank you very much to everyone who checked it out. Also, thanks to those guys for including me in it. Go take a listen.

that is all.

you man the guns. i'll drive.

this is the last damn time i'm recording this stuff (i think). anyway, i just wanted to get this song(s) down with all the intended parts and whatnot.  it's a long one and it was recorded in a small bathroom, but not while the bathroom was in use.

secret songs:


also, this group-o-tunes has been listed under way to many different names.

1. light colored bulbs
2. the second part
3. the third part
4. you'll die as the rat you've lived
5. horses come down

alive inside a closet / i am a flea market man

while i am away from home, i will be posting random songs periodically.  these are mainly going to be outtakes and songs left off past albums, primarily ohio driver.  once they all get posted i'll go ahead and throw up a zip file of all this garbage.

i know you rider / where all of it crosses:

this was recorded live with the trusty old loop pedal, as i believe it is intended to be played.  i think i should give that pedal a name as it is a substitute for another [much needed] music/noise maker.

virginian (alternate):


some untitled song or whatever:


more soon.

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.

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.
