A Note About This Mix:

Made a mix for Cousin James. Years ago he made me a mix. It was his post-rock mega-mix. It had five songs on it and it was totally, totally awesome: I think side B was entirely taken up with a single Mogwai track. This brutal 36 min beast is dedicated to him. It's also for him but you can download it too. Comes down the internets as one big MP3 and is mixed and mashed a little by yours truly.

A Note About Tool:

Carrie Brownstein once pondered a man who walked around Portland with a rat on his shoulder. She thought/wrote about what music this man listened to and decided it must be Tool. She was probably right. When I was 17 I used to go round my friend Paul's house and we'd listen to Tool's first album 'Undertow' and hang out. It was a total self-contained activity. Unlike Brownstein, I didn't grow up in close proximity to the American Northwest music scene in the 90s, nor did I recieve my guitar lessons from the guy from Sunny Day Real Estate. I learned how to play the guitar from Paul in his rompus room. The first thing he taught me was drop D. That said, we never walked around town with rats on our shoulders.

It's True, We Played A Show...

Hair farmer.

Guy who takes photos of himself during soundcheck and posts them on the internet.

The Coronet. I love you but I hate you too.

None of this gear is recommended or endorsed, except the Tym Guitars Big Bottom and the Green Big Muff. The Leem channel splitter is a goddamn piece of shit. Worse than the Ibanez Soundtank Delay, so that's really saying something.

John Mercer's sweet sweet Gallien Kruger bass amp. Haven't played on one in years. One of the best. Solid-state and brutal, like Greg Ginn but more reliable.

Undead Apes. Even if they weren't good I'd probably still like them just for the name. But, they're good. Thanks also to The Sips and D.Black. My photos of those dudes sucked but they ruled it on the night.

Upcoming Show Coming Up...

That's next thursday. We're probably not going to be playing a whole lot for the remainder of the year (maybe once a month or so). We're digging into the practice room to write album #3.

Some of those previously mentioned tracks will surface soon also.

Fire Flood & Acid Mud

I noticed recently that someone is selling off a copy of Fire Flood & Acid Mud on eBay. Sweet, good luck to them but it's a bit pricey, I wouldn't pay that. Seeing as I was in Missing Link yesterday and they still have a copy on the shelf. So if yr looking for it, buy it there. They deliver world wide.
