frank perry

so frank perry was a free improv drummer (early 70s, played w/evan parker, etc) and then became a buhddist, focusing on solo percussion, prayer bowls, healing sounds, etc....he has made like over a hundred records. if you haven't checked out the ones posted to the crystal vibes blog you should. heavy stuff.

he just posted some vids on youtube. this is pt 1 of an entire concert. healing vibes...

really weird video...

the comments from robert fisk about obama's likely foreign policy are not suprising but this video is odd

Be Glad Im Not Your Dad

http://www.sendspace.com/file/4upngc

Here are two songs that a band in which I sing just recorded for a 7". The first one doesnt have a title but the words are transcribed from a voicemail Evan left me while on his way to Target. Maybe Ill just call it Going to Target.

The second song I dont even remember doing. Im not sure what I was saying, but there is the sound of a empty Hurricane bottle being banged against the toilet. Im not at the point where I can sing or whatever it is I do without being drunk. Im getting there. Even more noticeably, I seem to have no idea how to sean mcguinness along with a band.

This band is called Birth Control.

N.O.U. Video



Later video as a 4 piece. It was the 90s, there is crowd surfing. Yes.

Summer/Spring (?) Jam

Oh yeah, here is something Al, James, Otto, Kit, and I did awhile back (sometime before that Naked on the Vague show). Although lots of it is totally ridiculous, there are some inspired moments. Definitely lazy weekend afternoon vibes w/ lots of beer.

Like so

Shocks of Mighty

For those of you that maybe didn't get this when I first posted it, here is my first effort at dub music. James laid down the bass & rhythm, and I overdubbed some guitar, and mixed it. Nothing groundbreaking obviously, but certainly a nice thought experiment, and easy enough on the ears.

2:11

Don Cherry in Bombay; The drum fill around 2:11 unmattes your dreadlocks. It could have similarly remade music. Realizing the danger, BBC had a narrator speak right over it. A shame...

unbirthday

some required reading over the july 4th holiday

Now recall that steel tycoon who, upon accidentally addressing the president as “Mr. Truman” rather than “Mr. President,” was never able to forgive himself for the breach of etiquette. Which one is the citizen, and which the subject?

boring tech post

what am i doing wrong?

thanks for the help

Ninjaman vs Supercat



Infamous sound clash. At the end Supercat is pissed off enough that he starts threatening to shoot the audience.

She is Beyond Good & Evil



I hadn't listened to this track in awhile. The Pop Group demonstrated that the Nietzschean critique of of the transvaluation of all values and disco were meant to go together, in case anyone was wondering. And nice stage moves, even.
