I had a bunch of stuff, mainly recorded and mixed on my computer, that I thought would sound good on a cassette.
It does sound good. I was right.
Very nearly 60 minutes worth of analog entertainment, edition of 42, hand-painted covers.
Get yours here
thanks,

A while back, a local organisation called “When You Awake” (named perhaps after the tune by The Band?) which is dedicated to the celebratory perpetuation of neo-retro faux-rural style and culture (though they don’t phrase it that way) took part in a George Harrison Tribute Concert at Spaceland, to raise money for a charity intending to get music lessons to needy kids.
I had the good fortune to be in one of the bands recruited to perform: the Amanda Jo Williams band. We played three songs, with special guests including a tap-dancer and a moog-ist. The house band was SICK good!! Andy Creighton and company. Solid work - we didn’t have a single rehearsal.
I had been hoping for videos of our set to turn up, and they have not, but When You Awake has posted a recording… for the full story and the complete show, dig their site.
Meanwhile, here’s our three tunes for your consideration:
Devil’s Radio (from George’s “Cloud 9″ album)
Sue Me, Sue You Blues (I know this one from Jesse Ed Davis’ “Ululu” record)
Beware Of Darkness (from “All Things Must Pass”)
Enjoy!
… oh yeah … here’s a picture:

SEAMOO: A Moose, Remixed
I made this album during my first six months in Los Angeles, when I was afraid to leave the apartment. I had the multi-tracks from Evan’s album on my hard drive, so I devoted myself to building something new out of every song from “A Moose Supreme” … This is the result.
Here’s the official version:
“SEAMOO: A Moose, Remixed is the culmination and summation of something I’ve wanted to do for a long time: take an existing album in its premixed, multitrack condition and rebuild it from the ground up in a manner influenced by dub reggae, J-psych, and various masters of electronic sound manipulation.
Although many if not most of the sounds on SEAMOO are those of electric guitar, bass guitar and drum kit, I would say that the most important instrument used was a computer. In this way I was able to place the guitar solo from one song into a different piece entirely; turn heavy grooves into ambient soundscapes (and vice versa); build entire rhythm sections out of simple drum fills; and incorporate “found object” elements such as bird calls, people’s voices, and random electronic noise. Influences on this process included Lee “Scratch” Perry, Amon Tobin, Squarepusher, Muslimgauze, Wagon Christ, Earl “Chinna” Smith, Acid Mothers Temple and The Beastie Boys.
I have found this music to be very effective in two distinct modes of listening. For my eclectic taste, it is wonderful to have it playing as I entertain guests or clean the apartment. Alternately, it is wonderful space-out music...”
You can order the disc right here, if you like:
…Or you can go and look at the catalog page, which is green and includes an mp3, in case that helps your decision making process.
