So, as you can tell by the last update from over a year ago, the site has been fairly inactive. There have been a few secret releases (silent but deadly style) but pretty much everything is gone or out of print or scattered in weird boxes unassembled from a couple of life moves.
There are still a few copies of the M Ax Noi Mach / Diagram A 7″ that we co-released with Greenwood Electronics and Silvox Recordings. Outside of that there are only the beginnings of a few releases I’m currently working on finishing (after a zillion years.)
That being said, there are a more than a few things on the horizon and more to come that I’m really excited about. I hope to get releases up on the site, so people can mailorder them even though I really really really hate mailorder and possibly start putting up some artwork for sale.
Hope you’re enjoying your summer!

Tour is now over and I’m back in Western Mass, despite the 2 feet of snow that fell last night and this totally incapacitating illness that has taken over my body, it feels good to be home. A lot of stuff went out of print (check the releases). There are a couple new tapes to put up and a tide of new jams just screaming to get out. My lack of job is making it a lot harder to get them all out and for that I’m bummed, but they’ll make it one way or the other.
Out NOW:
Anthro Rex & Id M Theftable. A collab recording between these two northeast wooly mammoths of mind mush, a thirty minute trip down a drooling, foot stomping, wall slapping path of total weirdness. Lots of awesome mouth gymnastics, environmental instruments and twists and turns in the recording that make it hard to believe it’s a live set. Really excited by this recording; captures the spirit and daring of these two guys really well. I wish i was smart enough to package it with actual beard hair. Comes in a one color silk-screen sleeve drawn by Dan Cashman and George W. Myers.
Slaughtered Sandworm & Weirding Module. Another duo / collab tape but this one definitely landing on the other side of the moon, maybe even…the dark side of it… A real patient, almost tense tape, like a couple of snakes fighting and shedding skin at the same time. great vocal work and prepared guitar by Fernando (S.S) to match the intermittent modular synth blobs that Weirding Module unleashes. Could have been the alternate soundtrack to Dune if it didn’t feature any people. Great jams! Full color artwork by George W. Myers.
George W. Myers : Mushmouth V. 1 - Winter Tour 2009. Made for the just finished tour, a cdr collecting new late night winter fuzz. slow heavy beats mangled and untangled in a mush of electronics. No vocals so i’m dropping the ‘mushmouth’ moniker, plus on tour i found out there’s a mushmouth in damn near every city, so… Really happy with these recordings, pretty clean takes done “live” but in a studio setting. 40 minutes or so. Cdr in full color / Black and White sleeve.
———————
I know it’s a total cliche to say they’re coming soon, but, i swear it, they are:
Pascal Nichols : Empty Bell Tower (c20 of mind-wind chimes ringing across the winds)
Alien Radio : S/T (c25 of modular synth from german label tape tektonik’s head squid)
I-Max : The Sonn Rises in the East (c30 beat tape from hobo sonn, totally amazing mpc head nodder)
Soaking Rasps : S/T (c30 from skoal kodiak singer/ ex-quad muth of amazing dubbed out grizz beats)
Steve Dags / Greg Thomas : split tape (c30 split, one side of lap steel drone another of awesome zither jams, co-released with french/uk label Rayon!)
——————–
Also worth mentioning that I’ve been back at the tape reviews / editorship over at cassettegods.blogspot.com along with a few other writers and there are a bunch of others about to hop on board that i’m really excited about, stay tuned!
Up next, full tour recap (with pictures!)
Oh yeah, lastly, there were a few orders that slipped and didn’t get sent out before i left, will have those out ASAP, sorry bout that!
Keep in touch.
